If you are skilled in each of the areas above, and you have enough in reserves to cover the costs of when things do not go as planned, then you can likely attract money from private money lenders who want to get a return on their money and they see lending to you as a low risk way of earning a better return than in the other passive investing options they have. 

There's zero reason to do this when there are plenty of options to avoid it. 

Another great option is the BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat), where you buy a fixer-upper, renovate it, rent it out, and refinance to pull your cash back for the next deal, and this is a good route because most private lenders can go higher LTV than on a rental loan! 

Happy to chat through some options.

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. 

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

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

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.
