One thing I missed is RETA does get you some pretty good payment plans if you live in North America.Those payment plans are not available to Europeans from what I can remember.

In most major cities, it's pretty challenging to work with these types of homes from a zoning standpoint.

Once I hit 4-5 properties, having 1k per unit is unreasonable in my opinion. 4-5k should be more than enough to handle even most major costs/situations.

Companies won’t agree to continue to lose money on their premiums.They have been denied here before - most major insurance providers (the State Farm’s, Allstate, etc) pulled out of the outer banks years ago.  

What’s your plan B if they ban or regulate STRs like they’ve done in other European capitals.

This happens in most major cities, such as New York, Boston, Washington DC, and many parts of California.

US stock market, aka MAG-7, have outperformed 12% to 9.5% with REITs in last 10 yrs and even more strongly in last 5 years at 15.7% to 10.3%, perhaps this will continue but the sp500 currently with a 34.4 Shiller PE, which is much higher than in October of 1929, and that wasn't the best time to start investing, please read the following 1 article and then the graphs/tables, There are also multiple academic studies at the European real estate research site EPRAREITs vs.

@Bennet Sebastian the concept is still as sound as in years past, even more so now in most major metros as nearly all new development in the warehouse/flex space has catered to larger tenants or single-users of 25K+ SF.

Therefor many US, Canadians and Europeans buy properties in the area.

I'm looking to possibly try this in Atlanta and then possibly some European cities.
