Investing in real estate - questions for a new acquisition

I have some questions about an investment, which I want to make. I can buy a studio with 60k (including the acquisition price+furniture +all the others costs). I can do that using 5k from my pocket and the rest I can borrow; to borrow I have more options: 1. 0 downpaiment (and I bring as guarantee an other property I have) and for the rest I can take a mortgage and here I have also 2 options: a. interest fixed for 3 years - 7.9 and after that it’s variable (an variable parameter “x”+3.4) for 27 years b. variabile - “x”+2.4 for 30 years; “x” changes every quarter and now it is 5.9 2. 25% downpaiment and for the rest a mortgage with the same options I mentioned above: a. interest fixed for 3 years - 7.9 and after that it’s variable (an variable parameter “x”+3.4) for 27 years b. variabile - “x”+2.4 for 30 years; “x” changes every quarter and now it is 5.9

Now I have the 5k, but if I have to put 25% down, then I have to wait to save the money. If I put 0 downpaiment, I will have negative cash flow, and the rent will not cover the mortgage (but I have other properties so, I can pay the difference easily fom there).

The rent per month would be around 300 euro. I know that the property does not respect 1% rule but that is the market in which I am. What do you advice? Thanks

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
