I'd say if it isn't a castle on the Spanish coast, its probably not a once of a lifetime deal.I would suggest you look at why you are emotionally so invested in this deal.

Do you or your husband or any of your primary employees speak Spanish?  

It’s critical to build a community for yourself as a Note Investor.This community will serve you through time with deal flow, vendor resources, strategies, due diligence & workout support…you get the point.In my opinion a MMG needs to holds the following to be successful:1)A series of consistent meetups in-person & through video conferencing (i.e. once a month)2)Have a veteran player facilitating the call to help move the discussion along while they smell out opportunities3)Have a safe and open environment so nobody feels dumb bringing up any topic for discussion4)Synergy formation through positive discussion.This could lead to forming buying partnerships, teaming, shared resources, and a whole host of other positive moves5)NO SELLING POLICY.The MMG should not be a forum for selling products and services to each other.Any one else have any thoughts on this?

There's a language barrier (she speaks Spanish only).

Any renters have some properties in and around Spanish town?

My 8 unit has made me realize the synergies (i.e. only 1 building to manage tenants and repairs on vs. many single/multi-families), vacancy buffer benefits, and opportunities to raise rents per door.Can anyone share their experience with me of moving to apartment complexes?  

Generally as a buy-and-hold, the MF properties will give you more cash flow and offer more synergy than the SFR, as you probably are already aware.Just shoot me your email address and I'd be happy to share my knowledge of Athens.Take Care,Jack

Compared to Belize, the infrastructure and retiree incentives are much better, but the official language is Spanish, not English as in Belize.

Either that or pop the top to add a 3rd story with insane city views, but then it might stick out (in a bad way) in this block of 2 story, 1920s spanish homes (mine is the newest on the block, 1952 traditional :-) ).

This year she will begin attending a German University (She is fluent in German and also Spanish) where she will be studying International Business and also Asian Studies where she will either learn Chinese or Japanese.
