These charts show data across each market on rent trends for re-rentals, where a new lease is signed on an existing rental property, and renewal leases, where an existing lease is renewed for an extended 2-year period.These data graphs show the percentages of growth and the number of leases in each category by city. 

Also, the incredibly low interest rates and low yearly property taxes (depending on your location) help a bit on the cash flow end.From my understanding, opportunities exist in different cities in Spain, especially when considering distressed properties outside of inflated metropolitan areas (not to mention the alternative ways of acquiring property like judicial auctions, cash purchases, etc.). 

I'd also remind them of things to do to keep it cooler in the unit (open windows in the evening-if it is safe to do so, and early morning to let in cooler air and let how air out) and keep curtains or blinds closed to avoid sunlight coming into the unit (ie when sun is shining on that part of the building).

It's also not a good idea to count tenants or income that not yet exist. 

The same can be said for investment properties in other locations… We can even make the argument that profits and cash flow in ANY business are limited in the first few years of operation.Aside from a small or non-existent return on investment over the first 3 years, competition is another challenge in Astoria.As illustrated in our “Days on Market” graph, demand seems to be stronger than last year.

Aside from that, rate/terms are good for refinancing any existing debt quickly, but for the BRRRR strategy to work well you really want to go with the cash-out options so that you leave with funds for your next property's downpayment.

Thanks, SteveI'm more concerned about the possibility of active termites than the cost to repair existing damage.
