Sharing this idea in case others can comment on it.Hi @Joaquin Camarasa, hope everything is fine.Investing with a vehicle like a Spanish SL (equivalent of an LLC in the US) would be interesting to research as from that moment it doesn't matter if you are a US citizen or living still in the US.

This is my first spec house and I’ve learned a lot.

Interest rates don't help, but investors were also successful in the 80s and 90s with rates in this range. 

Having said that, this is ultimately why I keep pricelabs, it gives me a structure to easily adjust prices via seasonality which I did not have before, it also continues my prices beyond the 12 month window - this helps if I forget to adjust future pricing and then the platform goes back to my default base rate kind of thing.Having said that I am no master or expert of PriceLabs.
