-Look into the european style washer/dryer combo units.  

It is a place where Europeans and North Americans live in harmony with the local population.

Be careful to not exceed the personal use tests or else you could lose most major tax benefits :(

There may still be a window where buying makes more sense; especially if you buy a property that does not have rental restrictions - many Europeans come for a month or two during the summer. 

A sword doesn't work"... if you get killed every time you are in battle,  or if only one person keeps killing everyone in the medieval European wars, are you going to say "swords don't work"?

But I would like to share perhaps a different PERSPECTIVE on this:If all you are doing is wholesaling or cash purchase FLIPS, then everything above is the Gospel for that.But here's the problem - wholesaling is NOT a viable business opportunity in most major markets because the cost of a lead is too high.  

Also, they may not clear a HOA or POA bill if it is in a planned community.With just the information given I would not expect $45k to cover the possibilities, you have most major systems as possibly in failure or not present. 

This may seem silly but many Europeans don't even have the same appliances, heating systems, sewer systems, etc.

But anywhere where you can get Europeans coming over in July - September is an awesome plus.  

An African swallow or European swallow?
