Health professionals are generally looking for 1-2 bedrooms and even travelers in other professions look for that size unit.

Much like what you've pointed out, the homes we could afford to put 50% down on needed a ton of work, plus we needed to set up bank accounts and such in Italy.This is something we're still looking into, but we decided that we will need to make it a vacation home/permeant residence for us and continue most of our investing in the US and other countries for the time being.

Hi, Jaycee The deal makes sense for me after accounting for all expenses including vacancy, cap ex, and repairs.

@Jake AndronicoI’ve looked into them but have never executed one.Let me say they will be expensive and complicated.I think what you will find if one is trying to defer $50,000 to $100,000 in gain, it’s not going to be worth the time and trouble.On the other hand, if client is trying to defer gain of $500,000 to $1,000,000, it’s worth the time and trouble.I use First American Exchange for my own account a dozen times and they have been right on the money.Google them and reach out.Arn
