I was looking at Melborne for something Air BnB (a year ago) I am keeping my eye on Tampa right now for potential commercial properties.... 

After talking with an operator I felt he was a good choice for a tenant and he mad a great offer above market for the apartment so we agreed.In the past I would usually rent my own units and to stay competitive I would keep an eye on the rentals in the area and try to be one step above if I could....This time that was a little tougher as the neighborhood hasn't gotten very trendy.

(I recently saw an article in Forbes talking about the Bay Area’s shifting market) And if you aim to hold properties long term, keep your eyes on towns around the Bay that have had consistent rent growth.Here in my home market of Phoenix, I see investors branching out to places like Austin, Chicago, and even Omaha from what Ive heard because they recognize how trends can shift quickly.

CA is an expensive market and regarding tenant laws in my eyes more complicated/difficult as a rookie landlord.

If you can arrange a visit to see how the tenant is taking care of their current place, that will open your eyes as well.

In 2003, while working in corporate America someone suggested Rich Dad Poor Dad to me.

They see foreigners as one-off buyers so they're not too much concerned about building a relationship or their reputation in the eyes of somebody who doesn't live there for that matter.

.: @Basit Siddiqi @Linda WeygantI believe it’s worth keeping an eye on this development, as this measure is still a proposal and needs to pass through the Spanish Parliament.
