Would the 9-year balloon concern you, knowing you'd need to refinance or pay off the balance at potentially higher market rates in the future?

If you can rent for $3,200 and PITI is $2,961 there is a potential of $239 a month9.

Be certain you've fully evaluated your cash flow by doing a cash flow analysis.I leave it to you to confirm you've taken in consideration the following potential costs: CapEx, maintenance, property management, water, sewer, trash, vacancy, turnover, taxes, insurance, etc.

Sounds like you guys have the potential to be an amazing property management team!

Instead of paying into someone else’s property, you could be using that allowance to finance your own real estate investment.In Germany, you have access to a stable market with long-term growth potential, and U.S. service members and government civilians have unique advantages here.

I am very new to real estate investing and I am now putting an offer in for my first potential investment property.

My main question is whether it makes more sense to go the seller financing route and pay off the principal in 8–10 years or stick with a standard 30-year loan.My thinking is that the tax deductions from a mortgage wouldn’t outweigh the potential equity I could gain over those 8–10 years.

The deduction is optimized as values increase and can potentially offset the entire net investment (including down payment) for high wage earners.

If I had to wait on the seller to do this, it would drag out my closings for months, potentially.

Infrastructure investments, even with Bessent’s focus on fiscal restraint, could also unlock potential in underdeveloped areas, fueling demand for both residential and commercial properties.For investors looking to succeed in this evolving landscape, it’s all about staying proactive and flexible.
