The influx of foreign investments explains in large part why countries like Spain and Portugal are now economically performing better than the likes of Germany and France.

Thanks for sharing more details - we do agree that the PMC seems to be lacking in performing their services. 

Most are performing well and a couple of them are in the middle of dealing with evictions. 

You will have to gather more accurate operating costs (vacancy loss, taxes, utilities, insurance, mgmt fees, maintenance, HOA) to best determine potential future performance.

Down payment should be about the same (20% on a buy-and-hold) but you'll see an additional $3-$6k on average in CC and the ability to keep it off of your DTI/Personal credit along with hopefully no more hard inquiries on your credit (many lenders will accept/perform a soft pull).

To achieve this, I’m planning to scale rapidly by performing a couple of syndications to acquire a larger portfolio.I currently have a portfolio of 17 properties, but to justify labor costs and create a sustainable structure, I need to expand quickly.

We will see more investors walk away because the properties aren't performing well, but other investors will pick them up and the quantity will remain high.Rates are anyone's guess.

Here is a great episode to check out about doing these small but impactful gestures to enhance the experience at an airbnb. 

Haha, but you know what they say - past performance is no guarantee of future results. 

The right idea is going to be the bread and butter.1) Ideal location2) Quality properties over quantity of properties3) 1.25x DSCR4) Intention to hold no less than 8, but ideally 12+ years.5) Sufficient cap reserves6) Mechanisms to enhance cash flow(via alt investing or house strategies).7) Liability protection through no PG loans(if possible), LLC formation, property management and being a diligent landlord.8) Invest deeper, before wider.Now if you're talking where to invest, different information.
