So feel free to DM me if you think I could help.The other reason for me to reply to you is to debunk some untruths that are being circulated about international investing, as it could help all readers who bump into this thread.It's not true that many European countries require you to be a citizen or a permanent resident to invest in real estate there and certainly not in the countries that you mentioned.

Price is often not the main or the only concern for the seller, they have other needs.

My only concern is searching for the rent to value "1% rule". 

My concern us that the contracting company is owned by the property manager. 

Insurance cost for weather-related disasters is growing to a major concern in many of the southern markets.

But my biggest concern is that such a large expense for such a short time would not add as much value as what I'm looking for.

I think governments have a role to play in trying to tackle affordable housing concerns, but even I think the reclassification bill will crush the little guy, or at a minimum needs revising.

Unless a MH is put on a permanent foundation on an actual privatley owned lot, the majority of mobile homes depreciate in value over time.As @Greg Scott mentioned, you can find cashflowing deals if you know HOW to look.

By no means am I suggesting the funds should not be held correctly but there are other areas a landlord should focus their attention if they are concerned about tenant related liability. 

I am concerned that your investment outlook isin't patient enough.
