I was VERY VERY close to buying Spanish almond plots which were "improved" farmland with aquafers, etc. 

Cashflow is what brings a lot of people into the area, but there is a lot in the pipeline in terms of development and events (World Cup, NFL Draft etc). 

I fell in love with the Lowcountry way of life, including good food, beautiful trees with Spanish moss, and stunning golden sunsets.

Hi Randal, one of the problems are the loans, when investing in Spain 20% DP is required at the very least.2nd The majority of the Spanish houses are condos so they all carry HOA fees.3rd Demand is an issue, Spain is losing population due to the crazy high unemployment rate, young people are getting out for better opportunities.

Anyone in the Portland OR area want to connect for a cup of coffee?

I did this to my home in Spanish Fork for a total of $6k including appliances.
