I feel like this post is missing a lot.

Feel free to connect if you have any specific questions about, but this is the best general advise.

Also, that idea might have been inspired by the recent jump in American purchases but we know that that was temporary in order to take advantage of the Golden Visa before it is phased out.I doubt even more that anything like this will make its way to Portugal anytime soon.

But it feels a bit wonky, specifically with Booking.com.  

While it might feel like an extra charge to tenants, these packages often provide value that indirectly benefits the property owner as well—like reduced maintenance calls or ensuring the property is better protected.In my experience managing a large portfolio of properties, these fees are becoming more common due to the thin margins in property management.

Wishing you the best and feel free to reach out anytime.

I like using these for just this case.Another item to consider is since this is a 2nd floor I wouldn't be that worried since the 1st floor will heat the 2nd floor enough to not allow frozen pipes.I would also talk to an HVAC person because I believe they can also put a device to cycle the heat a few times a day or even put a secondary thermostat in the apt to take care of the minimum issues.I feel for you because otherwise you have a great tenant.

And feel you'll have more options / strategies to explore with a tri or quad plex in the long range.

It's impossible for them to hit the third close date and it's not likely they could hit any close date so they back out.I am feeling as if I was mislead.
