Putting 20% down really puts a dent on our liquid money but better (we think) than it just losing value in the bank. 

Appraisers depend on getting work from banks so they are not going to put their name to something that has no backing in fact. 

From personal experience- electric can be very easy, because if wired properly, all circuits should be separate already and connect to one breaker box.

Owning property in Germany can be a good investment, but it depends on various factors like your long-term plans, market conditions, and personal preferences.

I'd not been there for several months as is often the case and didn't know it but they'd instituted a new policy where buyers need to show an official ID when going up to pay after winning that bid, this due to the goofs who were wholesaling or whatever and would put their 10% down and then use whatever name, so they could then simply call their buyers and find whoever wanted to buy it and then that person would show up for the confirmation hearing and pay the balance.

You can add your bank info to hemlane and once you get invoiced hemlane pays from that account.

We made the mistake of thinking the person who charged less was the better option, however in the long run we spent more.

Personally, for SF rentals, I boosted each property's liability coverage to $500K and then had a $2M umbrella policy.
