Do a search here on BP his name has come up before maybe someone with actual experience has replied in the past.

On the higher end of what I am currently looking at, I have Twin Cities and Indianapolis.

This could be very different in other areas of Spain but that's my experience.

@Florencio NayveDid you end up buying anything in Alabama?

I would ask..how the remote management or ownership experience is going? 

It might also be best to figure out a way to end the lease with the family and get the stuff out unless there's a good reason to think the tenant will be able to return to the home in the near future. 

Talking to some real estate software providers, they have between 300 - max of 20k paying users.  

I have helped numerous Canadian investors here in Winnipeg as they find Winnipeg to still be an affordable market for REI (just don't look at the North End neighbourhood).

Without real estate experience, it is next to impossible to vet a good property manager and a poor one will be your largest expense.3.

Sorry to hear you haven't had a great experience.
