Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Hi @Asif Ali Kabiruddin Rajani,What we hear a lot from other Americans is that real estate opportunities tend to cost less here in Europe (especially in countries such as Spain where we are active).A thing to keep in mind though is your tax planning as you will still need to pay taxes based on the US guidelines if I'm not mistaken. 

We also have a real estate meet up in COS where you can meet other investors to find good deals.

As Theresa pointed out, the real point of a termination fee is to allow the tenant to break a lease early without negatively impacting your finances.
