Especially in a high interest rate environment where cash flows on long term rentals are muted and there is significant capital required to purchase and list on airbnb.I live near NYC but would invest out of state in an airbnb / landlord friendly state.

If it is someone you know you can give them a straight return as if its a loan - can provide a lower interest rate to provide upside - it really depends on the lender and what are they concerned with and what is their risk profile.

I lived in Madrid, Spain for about 8 months and I am curious if it is possible for non-residents to successfully have rental properties within the country.My concern is mostly from a tax standpoint and whether it makes sense.My research shows that Non-residents of Spain(but a resident of Europe) pay a flat rate of 19% on NET RENTAL INCOME.Non-residents of Spain(Not a resident of Europe, such as the USA) pay a flat rate of 24% on GROSS RENTAL INCOME.The difference of paying tax on Net and Gross is huge.Americans are not able to deduct expenses such as mortgage interest, taxes, insurance, cleaning, repairs, etcA pro that I can think about when it comes to invest in Spain is that overall costs are less - Mortgage rates are currently around 4% - 4.5% while it is around 6.5% - 7% in the US.Am I reading the tax law correctly?

Although, it's very capital intensive and you have to rely on a lot of factors you can't control, contractors, interest rates, market shifts, realtors, buyers, appraisers, inspectors, material costs, weather etc etc.

Even though there is low inventory, interest rates are high, and many properties don't cash flow, look harder there are always deals, you just need to find/make them.
