It's possible to buy property in Germany with as little as 5-10% down, making it an attractive option for service members and civilian government employees stationed there or planning to settle.

They likely will be a bid on the 2 year balloon options, too, in 2025. 

I’m not sure what is the best option here, if anyone could shed some wisdom that would be immensely appreciated. 

I wish the appointment was with him... its with an attorney at his firm, hopefully this attorney has a lot of experience and gives we several legal options... not another sales pitch. 

@Kwanza Price - Syndications are a great options and even some QOZs. 

@Cole Starin sometimes it makes sense to sell the WORST property in your portfolio.Another option is why do a LOC on the duplex, when you could just do a $100k cashout refi to pay off all your debt AND keep the property?

What was the quality like compared to local options?

Thank you,Jerry Jerry, I recommend getting in touch with an experienced broker who can educate you on all the possible options in the investment space for cash-out refinances.

Do you limit the term to 6 months to begin with, or 30 days minimum stay and negotiate an option later on?

I recommend that you find a trusted or recommended Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO), who can give you options for property-based loans (mostly investment loans) and they don't use your taxes but the P&L of the property.
