Not sure how they could block a sale but I imagine they told him the central heating unit for the whole complex would soon need replacement so a special assessment would be upcoming.  

I currently pay a premium price for my turnovers for a local cleaning company that specializes in STRs.

So, yes, you'll get a lower percentage of the cash flow (which isn't that high anyway for long-term rentals like pretty much anywhere in the world, including the US) but you'll get appreciation and loan amortization.b) You successfully invest in STRs and make enough money that you don't care that much about the higher taxes.To conclusion, as a foreigner investing in Spain, with a few exceptions of specialized niches, I focus on areas that have (high) capital appreciation and short-term rental potential.Hope this helps.

I think what it comes down to is smaller with market specialization translates into a better experience

My name is Nick and I'm an agent who has been specializing in investment real estate in Austin since 2018.

I know a friend who is an attorney, although they don’t specialize in housing law.

Go to a lender that actually knows what they are doing and specialize in investor finance. 

I’ve seen many investor clients use 1031 exchanges effectively.. just be sure to get specialized tax advice.

Also when you are under contract and get condo docs, make sure to read the meeting minutes (for the past year if available) they will indicate if there are any talks of an upcoming special assessment (which you don't want).

I have one that is awesome and smart and specializes in Real Estate tax planning mostly because he is an investor as well so he is really good at what he does.
