I am based in Seattle, but is licensed in Tx.You can acquire your a primary residence from up to 1-4 units for as low as 5% with conventional or 3.5% with FHA with a few exceptions.

I may not have explained myself clearly, so I apologize if there was any confusion.You are absolutely right that to carry out tangible commercial activities in Spain, such as real estate projects, it is necessary to establish an SL (Sociedad Limitada).

Most PMs, especially the well established ones, will not always flex for specific clients like this but it could be an option.hope this helps.

The best advice I can give you for studying for you license is to voice record yourself reading questions and answers on notes cards.

One thing to take note of is that a lot of places that are established STR markets have regulations stating that you have to honor future bookings.

Better yet have them underwritten by a licensed 3rd party.

It will give you their time as a licensed professional, the education they have completed for the current renewal schedule, and any disciplinary action against them.

In our market it is important to make sure they are a licensed broker, carry adequate GL and worker's comp (and name you as additional insured).  

I'm a licensed lender in Washington (and many other states), I invest as a "side hustle" and grew up in Seattle, so I feel your pain.  

In short - if you aren't licensed to do the work -  your services aren't going to satisfy the permitting agency.
