I have created a spreadsheet for quick analysis (with the 2% rule, 12% cash on cash, total ROI of 15% per year, etc) and have just been analyzing any Zillow deals that pop up.

But you won't have the same office culture because they don't have many offices.If you want to work in a small town and learn from a person, but not necessarily have the latest CRM and tech, a mom and pop usually works a single town and crushes it, but won't have much training other than here is a lockbox.

Cashflow on long term rentals is still hard to come by, but every now and then the occasional townhome/sfh pops up that actually makes sense and will breakeven with long term rents.

Anyway I happen to have a forum alert set for “Spain” and this post popped up in my radar!

I thought price per unit was very good and talked to a local realtor in Las Cruces where units are $70-100k a pop. 

Too big for mom and pop investors and too small for institutional investors. 

I agree with a bit more landscaping in front, the exterior needs a little more pop of a different color. 

I haven’t seen Rome, GA pop up on here a lot but have looked at some properties there and at first glance seems like a no brainer.

Most issues will pop up in the first few months as guests use the place regularly, so have a good relationship with a handyman and maybe throw him some small jobs so that he will be on standby when needed.

What creative features or designs have you seen that made a property pop in this competitive market?
