I still remember what it was like pulling the trigger on the first rental investment here, and I had three solid European whole-property renovations under my belt.Good luck to you!

My question is: are you aware of any similar community, forum, website, podcast, etc. with its focus on European Real Estate?

So anywhere where Europeans had a vacation presence would have been affected, especially European vacation spots.

So, here it is, I love SFR, I have A LOT of SFR, over the course of the last two years, have been dipping into the Multi-Family space and now graduating to 100+ units - still buying lots of SFR (I just cannot contain myself :) ) 10 Reason(s) I love SFR:Higher RentsLess Turn-OverCan be more strategic with purchase location and typeMore of it available in the marketplaceLike the idea of a single home, single transaction, single & quick exit plan Financing Readily AvailableManagement System and Controls in Place (internal function)Construction is streamlined with all standard products in ALL SFR unitsTenant Responsible for Exterior & UtilitiesSimple, Simple, Simple and can be replicated easily/swiftlyAs I have been trying my hand at Multi-Family, it is similar but not the same and many will argue you gain more efficiency with Multi-Family but, you equally gain more challenges:Larger Common Expenses: Cleaning, Exterior Maintenance, More Placement, Common Area Utility CostPotentially higher turn-over (frequency of turnover)Same material buying power as lots of SFR (Construction side) In-Fighting amongst tenants (always a fun one)Larger Capital ExposureProgressing into this next phase, after slowly moving from 2-unit, 4-unit, 8-unit, 12-unit, 21-Unit, 36-Unit, 40- Unit - now to 100+ Units, all had own challenges - but the goal has always been the same, take something that's old, undervalued, do an awesome renovation, raise rents and replace existing tenants with higher quality teantns willing to pay a small premium to live in an updated unit as opposed to your typical run of the mill apartment (existing tenants  have the option to upgrade to the new premium units or exit) -My question for BP Community what amenities are important to you - adding the following, please feel free to contribute or comment:USB Outlets in all rooms (including bathroom)Tile Shower SurroundHard Surface CountersStainless Steel AppliancesNew Luxury Vinyl Tile Flooring High-End Glossy European Style Kitchen CabinetsLake View (Unobstructed 270 degrees) Updated Elevator Cars Fancy Modern Lobby with Coffee Station and Dry Cleaner Kiosk (drop-off and pick-up)New Kids playgroundNew Dedicated Dog Park (Real Dog Park)SmartHome HUB (Powered by Amazon Alexa)Electric Car Charging StationBike Station and In-Unit Bike RackPrivate and Secure Fenced in Parking8th Floor Rooftop Deck and Community Center featuring (Large Format TV's, Ping Pong, Billiards) - with Full Lake ViewOn-Site Coin Operated Laundry.............What would you be willing to a pay premium for?

I am seriously suggesting you swing through Jacksonville and go to any European Street Café (four locations) and get a Reuben.

I know many europeans like to go there for easy access to boating etc.

However, dealing and using gold as a currency was never an option, people immediately switched to using U.S. dollars (or some European currency like the Franc, Sterling Pound, or Marc).

Just as if a European resident attempted to get a loan here without US residency or a social security number.
