In Berlin, rental arbitrage has been very profitable, with average annual margins of 25-40% after all costs but before taxes, so shifting to a market where arbitrage is barely breaking even is definitely a reality check.Given your experience, would you say the best way to enter the market now is through purchasing properties with financing?

So I want purchase it as my first rental property it's going to need rennovations for sure not terrible shape just older rancher home.

I recently purchased my home in October 2023 (before starting my real estate investing journey), so I don’t yet have access to any substantial equity.

So it could take a decade to get to todays market rent. 2) it’s almost impossible if not impossible to non-renew a tenant, especially if you’re not an owner occupant. 3) As a seller, even if I could remove paying tenants I never would without a non-refundable payment from a potential buyer that covers all vacancies for 6 months if they fail to complete the purchase. 4) You MIGHT say as a buyer that’s worth it.

I’m looking to raise $160,000 to cover the purchase, renovation, and activation of this new Airbnb property.

We're crunching numbers and planning to make purchases this year in the self-storage space.

If you are looking at a 300 unit apartment complex with a $100mm purchase price, then typically you want large, diverse economic, growing cities.If you are buying an Airbnb, well this is a marketing game.
