Dont know where to start any suggestions will be great thank you For the 300k property they are probably not going to let you pull any money out based on the amount of credit you already owe.

You don't want to lose your rate on the house you are living in now unless you want to sell it so since that is an owner-occupied, you need to stay there and save up the 20 percent for the second property based on what you said.

Across the board, the worse the neighborhood, the better the cash flow, the better the neighborhood, the trade off for tenants base, better schools, low crime, etc etc.

Except you insist on giving the OP a "yes" based on the generic strategy (A) while I insist on giving him a "no" based on his specific situation (B).To answer your question to me - no, I'm not trying to be controversial.

I am unsure if I could purchase a property through an LLC/SL based in Spain and what would be the taxation using this system.

Based on what I currently owe and how high rates are this doesn't seem worth it to me.Does anyone have any advice on what the best way to do this is?

Well this is going to be more mandated by your investor base than anything a mentor can help you with (i.e. there are groups raising money targeting low double digit returns, with limited cash flow, and other groups that need to show mid-20s to get investor interest).Lastly, if you are looking at a mentorship: really hammer on HOW they will help you be successful. 

For any value add project, the primary evaluation is based on the numbers.Provided you have trustworthy teammates for the renovation side and a competent agent on the valuation side, you'll perform no matter the location.It seems your weighing factors that relate more towards long-term investing and where your asset will appreciate the most.In respect to emerging markets, you'll want to use characteristics like population growth, employment growth, safety trends and path of progress.

We are based of course in one of the most expensive places to live yay to that.

One I know is based in LA as that's a huge market of course..
