I loved Spain when i visited there and there was no shortage of people visiting which provides an opportunity. 

I had one friend who tried this and finally went to go visit the property and it had holes in the walls etc that the contractor never fixed but they did not know it until they visited

You are already ahead of the curve because most rely on number of doors and cash flow as their primary purchasing criteria which leads them straight to the C/D neighborhoods. 

But the learning curve is steep and I'm years ahead of you...I have systems in place to deal with this stuff that will take you years to develop yourself.

We can assist in building the scope of work and even visit the property on occasions to get updated pictures/video and confirmation that some work is completed before the next draw, but we can't tie up our operational resources to projects that take more than a couple of weeks.

Be the first, or one of the first, to visit a property once it is on the market.- Be decisive.

Just trying to keep ahead of things.

The most difficult thing I had was opening an account with one of the top four US banks, but after a couple of visits for more documentation and signatures, they opened it.

If you have not yet visited there, you should.

In general, I price myself 10-15% high outside of my avg lead time, and discount fairly aggressively inside the lead time.This strategy attempts to capture both the planners who will pay a small premium to secure a good data ahead of time, and the last minute deal seekers.In general, it seems many people don’t vary between weekend and weekday pricing enough IMHO.2 ideas I’ve toyed with… in 2+ years I’ve never not booked a weekend.
