From there it's up to you on selling. 8 years you should be not breaking even unless this place is in a rough area or needed a ton for repairs over the years.

The best thing about a new build is the capital expenses and maintenance and repairs will be minimal for many years.  

I lived in Madrid, Spain for about 8 months and I am curious if it is possible for non-residents to successfully have rental properties within the country.My concern is mostly from a tax standpoint and whether it makes sense.My research shows that Non-residents of Spain(but a resident of Europe) pay a flat rate of 19% on NET RENTAL INCOME.Non-residents of Spain(Not a resident of Europe, such as the USA) pay a flat rate of 24% on GROSS RENTAL INCOME.The difference of paying tax on Net and Gross is huge.Americans are not able to deduct expenses such as mortgage interest, taxes, insurance, cleaning, repairs, etcA pro that I can think about when it comes to invest in Spain is that overall costs are less - Mortgage rates are currently around 4% - 4.5% while it is around 6.5% - 7% in the US.Am I reading the tax law correctly?

You can save a lot on costs if you do many repairs yourself.Look into hard money lenders or private lenders for the initial purchase and rehab.Connect with wholesalers, agents specializing in investment properties, and other BRRRR investors to find deals and learn more.

Besides that, I have a credit repair and funding company that helps entrepreneurs get their businesses going.

I still have plenty time left saving but when the time comes I’ll either be looking into conventional  loans, or some type of remodel loan to pay for the repairs of the property I am looking to fix up, because as far as I’ve seen so far it’s hard to find a good deal starting out unless you buy it as discounted as possible and put some sweat equity into it, let me know your thoughts on that ur possible.

They offer a $10K repair fund to fix damages in addition to SD plus warranty for appliance repair etc.I have no say in whom they choose to move in, whether there are animals, limit on # of occupants etc. they reserve right to inspect property so i have no idea if they can tell me to remodel, paint etc.does this make sense i have a vacancy coming up in October (bad rental timing).

I would suggest getting another full-time job for the time being and investing/doing STR on the side until you can fully and comfortably replace the income that you would be receiving from your job.Is your LTR in need of repair?

Thats a great way to profit of $177K in a year but she did know the contractors and the has an eye for those type of quick turn arounds.You will see multifamily 2-4 units a ton of duplex 2 units for under $250K again these are usually not turnkey fully renovated properties but they will pass an appraisal without being subject to any major repairs.

A turn key would be great, but I am open to doing repairs along the lines of walls and flooring updates.
