The twist is that it's a long-term flip.  

You'll spend thousands in analyzing this deal, then find out the numbers just don't work, but as a new investor you'll have all your emotions tied into it, then your emotions will twist reality and tell you it's still a good deal and justify the bad numbers, and you'll be tempted to say "I've already spent this much, I can't back out now". 

There are indeed some differences with the overall process as most real estate laws are more closely related to how things are done in Spain vs the US but most banks deal with the same players ( Fannie Mae,  HUD, VA etc) that you find in the states with a few twists..

Can you guarantee that someone won't twist an ankle or get hurt some other way?  

Single family house BRRRR with a twist.

This is why the city is fully of crazy people, they literally utilize and twist building recommendations to suit their own exclusive mentality.

Very twisted.

I personally enjoy hearing how other people got started and the unique twist everyone has on their investing strategy.

In a nice, gentle, understanding way.

So, to wrap up, I am now looking at ways to gently transition my cousin and her kids into a new life and out of the house she has been in for the past 13 years or so.
