Zoning says that it is a repair service shop, excluding automobiles, any idea if leasing out storage space would be permitted?

I'd stay away from Del Toro for non performing notes, especially.

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. 

I think what you describe is pretty much standard performance for rental properties if your not paying cash and I am just assuming your putting max debt on them to try to get your return numbers into your criteria..

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

Check The CE Shop first.

I love it here because there are still positive cashflowing deals and lots of appreciation potential due to the strong job market, growing population, and major companies setting up shop here like Intel, Meta, Amazon, etc.

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).
