Quote from @Benjamin Finney: I'm curious what real estate investors and private money lenders like myself use to inform their businesses strategy and predict future market conditions.

•Explore private lenders or hard money loans if you need higher leverage, though the interest rates will likely be much higher.

.: Hi All,Is there any way to structure a private lending arrangement so that income is considered passive (by IRS standards) and can offset accumulated schedule E losses?

I sponsor a monthly meetup of property managers based in DFW.

Switzerland does impose some restrictions on foreign and non-residents buying property but you can still buy and several members of my family actually own property there.

I'll flip the property.

All is not lost, if you can find a seller of the apartments who is alos willing to finance the purchase for you;  Or look for a private/hard money lender.

Just get a second set of sheets for each property so the turnover isn't pending the same sheets going back on the beds.

If the property is in Wisconsin, I'd love to chat with you.

I put a lot of money into my property to make them nice.
