All the best!

If you are lucky, it will cover all your costs related to the property (bank rate etc.).In Germany, real estate is a long term investment where usually the biggest gains (depending on region) come from appreciation.

It's not too late to start, but doesn't mean that you should.Real estate is not all butterflies and rainbows.

I'm giving myself a year to learn all I can and save up a down payment for my first long-term rental in my local area.

IMHO and all things being equal, this route would be the fastest way to cash flow and scale.  

I am bothered by the casual nature in which Diem speaks about her bankruptcy in that it seems to be one of convenience rather than necessity. 

Genuinely curious what people's plans are for these lots, and why so many people are gravitating toward it seemingly all of a sudden.

Some of the help offered here is accurate and some of the help offered is a bit offFor most cash out refinance loans on investment properties the Max leverage offered is 75% LTV (You may find 80% but that really isn't industry standard) Which at a 250k "As is" value your max loan amount would be $187,500.00 If you purchased the property for 165k and renovated it for 30k you are all in for 195k Since I am assuming the property is owned free and clear the $187,500 (minus closing costs let's call it 5% of the loan amount) can be used to pay down your debt.

I'd like to add "preparation time" across all channels for our property (AirBNB, VRBO, direct)... ensuring that there is a 1 day gap between bookings (no same day turns).I've been told I should be able to achieve this result with the "Adjacent Day before/after an unavailable night" feature, but I'm not able to get it working.Anyone know how to make this work?
