There are a couple of points that are making Spain an interesting market to invest in:- there are still a lot of investment opportunities as investing in real estate is not as popular/exploited as in the US- prices are generally lower than in the US (/or Northern Europe where I am originally from) so the same euro/dollar earned in the US can be put easier to work and more divided into more projects- if you understand investing you will probably beat the competition quite easy because there are a lot of not well-presented properties for sale and for rent- good yields are possible with traditional and especially coliving and tourist rentals- getting financing is easy however for cash-out refinances etc you will need to become a bit more creativeAnd besides the numbers let's not forget the country, culture, food, quality of life and especially the sun (although in LA this wouldn't be something to complain about either ;-)).

I do have friends that are mexican, so I know it is part of their culture and I am not being a jerk about it either.The ones that are in the US legally I have no problem with because they pay taxes just like all of us.
