But you will increase costs in regards to insurance or lending..You still risk losing the property to any liability that happens at the property or in your personal life.

The remaining 25% of the gross rent will be absorbed by vacancy losses and ongoing maintenance expenses.When using a lease agreement, the lease agreement amount must be supported byForm 1007 or Form 1025, as applicable, orevidence the terms of the lease have gone into effect.

Has anyone on here done something similar and remember the cost or have an idea of what pricing should be (ballpark)? 

on the bleachers right now just learning so i got a question If I find a  duplex for 350k, put 20% down , 30 year mortgage after the 30 years is over and the property is paid off,  it cost me more than 700k that just doesn't sit right in my stomach.

It is not going to effect me.

Could be an absolutely gigantic cost and ruin the deal for you, or could be small.

Hi @Mike Lambert,Curious, how come you can’t boost returns as effectively with leverage in Spain vs the US?

Aside from cost and finding a good contractor, my major concern is safety of the home while it's vacant and being worked on.

They can’t lend you more because if they have to foreclose it will cost them at least 10%.)Then you want to take that $300k and get a loan for another $300k with that $300k to buy your dream home.
