Someone recommended a small lending company to get a mortgage for a buy and hold property.

@Ming HuangRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Quote from @Brandon Vukelich:If you buy a vacation rental in Hawaii, then you're tied to that location.

Quote from @Robert Medina:  I’m trying to figure out how I can pay myself and buy another property. ...

I have not heard of one of those, but am gearing up to buy my second house and could possibly use some sort of loan program like that!  

@Benjamin Ying1) Waste of time unless you are buying hundreds of units.2) Any option to minimize risk is usually a good idea.3) Always better to visit an area before investing.

What’s your biggest question about buying real estate in Germany?

How long ago did you buy?

To whom this may concern, I am an investor looking to buy my second property.

You could also buy from an existing landlord that has a section 8 tenant.
