@Justin Thorpe herpes is permanent.

Funny coincidence that she was chronically late and eventually I had to evict her. PS

Sometimes it's easier to get rid of herp*s than to sell a house in Spain (sorry for the metaphor).It should also be borne in mind that buy to let business in EU is on the decline, unless you are prepared to invest in Russian South, which is, perhaps, the safest and fastest growing location in Europe :-)Finally, look for a reliable international property broker (online auction platform).

I live in NE Ohio and know the market from residing her pe my whole life but am open to learn from others. 

She's the gift that keeps on giving.Geez, sounds like the human version of herpes...Yea, you have me beat.

Just remember, bad deals are like HERPES, easy to get, and impossible to get rid of!

Condos in the rust belt are like herpes, easy to get and impossible to get rid of!

I would recommend a conventional loan for a multi family if you would like to avoid PMI (private mortgage insurance) if you do a FHA loan you will be stuck with PMI for the duration of the loan, and that's like getting a case of herpes, it never goes away. 

Not just "herp derp, 2% rule"/rant

She lives in Vermont, never gave me her address I only have her P.
