Switzerland does impose some restrictions on foreign and non-residents buying property but you can still buy and several members of my family actually own property there.

I’m here to connect with like-minded individuals, exchange ideas, and continue learning from this incredible community.

Long term play would be to either use it as a short term rental or 1031 exchange it after 2+ years.

Im leaning towards option 2 because option 1 will be too costly if the pipes freeze, heat exchanger of the furnace crack, etc and there's no guaranty she will pay for the repairs.

Mind you, with mortgage interest rates in the US being so much higher now (and seemingly for the foreseeable future), I wouldn't be surprised if LTRs in Europe would cash flow better than in the whole US nowadays (to be verified).This being said, I don't and would never invest in LT rentals outside of North America  as I wouldn't want to face unfavourable landlord/tenant laws as a foreigner.

You will want to consult with a lawyer.In regards to your last two questions here's some background on what makes a contract valid and enforceable:Offer: A promise to do or not do something within a certain time period Acceptance: A clear and direct statement that all terms and responsibilities are accepted Consideration: A legal and adequate inducement given in exchange for the promise Capacity: The parties to the contract must have the legal capacity and competency to contract Awareness: A party must be aware of the contract Legality: The contract must be legal in the jurisdiction it will be operating in***Not legal advice*** Steps I would take: -Review contract in detail to understand each counterparties responsibilities (if you are not aware)- Email a copy of the lease to each of the tenants listed on the lease and reiterate lease expectations for termination notice, rent payment etc. - If the lease was signed via Docusign (other esign may have same ability) - you can go to the envelope, go to history and view the IP addresses for each action taken.

They understand that they can bring us quality homes in great areas in exchange for us doing a quick closing with no hassles.

There are a couple of unique tax laws to real estate investors - 1031 exchange, bonus depreciation on certain improvements, Qualified Opportunity Zones, real estate professional status, etc.Make sure that the accountant you interview to understand the above concepts.best of luck!

The major advantage DSTs have over many other types of passive real estate investments is that they qualify as replacement property in a 1031 exchange.

Or we can just exchange contact info.
