IE rent to a tenant for >12 mo,  dating before marriage, no late payments then with a down paymetn (long story here)  I'll sell on either a contract for deed (typically mobile homes on land) or a note and mortgage (regular nicer houses). 

So you want to check that out.I also ask how familiar are you with Spanish, and reading Spanish contracts, and knowing landlord/tenant laws in Spain? 

If not, what led to your delay?

If you have an older home that requires a lot of maintenance, you probably want to avoid the manager who charges a markup.I recommend shopping around occasionally to see if your PM is procuring fair pricing or just marking you up to make money without justification.As for expectations, you need to read the PM agreement and understand what is charged and why.

@Bridget HustonWelcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

Welcome to investing in central Indiana!

I decided to buy the property from my grandfather using a gift of equity, which allowed me to take over ownership without having to come up with the full down payment and pay for the tax lien and his closing costs.

I personally own a property in Windsor Hills Resort, right next door to Disney World, and we absolutely love it.
