Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

Tat is very wrong.

It obviously turned out to be the wrong time for an investment of such a degree.

It has worked for a long time, but there's nothing sexy about it and you have to wait until you're over the age of 64 (maybe I'm wrong here) to see the benefit of compounded interest investing. 

I received wrong information from people in the Portugal RE industry before so I'm not super confident the person I talked to is correct I'm just trying to get more data points.In case it's useful for others these are some other bits of info I've learnedRefinancing is possible but it is more expensive than conventional (usually the spread is 1-2% higher) and it is necessary to explain to the bank what will be done with the money.It is not necessary to wait to own the property for a certain time to obtain mortgage credit.

But that doesn't make it wrong.

Unless I’m understanding this wrong?  

Deeper discountsMaybe I’m wrong but worst case scenario is that I spent money, learned a lesson and helped some people out.

@Tri Tran Dude....you are in the wrong business.
