I'm a european expat living there currently and looking across the ocean to invest in real estate in the U.S.

I would like to explore European real estate market, specifically, Spain with the same investment goal - cash flow.

Most major markets right now are hot.

During high school I fell in love with modern and contemporary buildings but when I joined the US Navy and saw most of the European coast, The Persian Gulf, and the Suez canal in Egypt, I fell in love with the architecture all over the world. 

Save 10% of rents until you have enough money to handle most major repairs.

I think I was looking at it from a European standpoint where VAT is included in prices typically and thinking it was done the same way in Mexico, not from the US angle where tax is normally added on top.Regarding point #3 you made above, I was stating that you get taxed on the net amount after taxes...not the gross collected, which we are saying the same thing.

They make paint specifically for floors.I'm going to put in my ad that it's "European Style Wood Floors".

Overall- Most major items are completed, painting is done (I completed the bathrooms and some of the finishing’s), major plumbing is done, all roof leaks have been patched.

I order with european hinges.

Out of all the European countries, England will have the 'closest' knowledge based laws and practices to the US due to such a common history.
