So, yes, you'll get a lower percentage of the cash flow (which isn't that high anyway for long-term rentals like pretty much anywhere in the world, including the US) but you'll get appreciation and loan amortization.b) You successfully invest in STRs and make enough money that you don't care that much about the higher taxes.To conclusion, as a foreigner investing in Spain, with a few exceptions of specialized niches, I focus on areas that have (high) capital appreciation and short-term rental potential.Hope this helps.
