As U.S. citizens residing in Europe, we are required by the local tax code to hold the property in our personal name.

Beyond the Monthly Management, Placement & Maintenance fees, all other fees in our contract are IF EVENT -> THEN fees.

I find condos/townhomes to be easier to manage out of state because the HOA handles a lot of the maintenance, just be aware of condo fees and find a place that is reasonable like $300-400/mo or less if you are lucky.

Operating an Airbnb business requires being up to date on current local ordinances and restrictions.

Traditional bank loans can be slow and have strict requirements, while hard money and private lending seem to offer more flexibility.For those who’ve secured funding before, what’s been your experience?

Only $1k of work was needed right away to deal with deferred maintenance issues on the property.
