Hi everyonethis is my first post on BiggerPockets after listening to some podcast episodes.I am based in Italy and will invest in Italy, hence I'm searching for a source of info and listings for available homes here.I am evaluating various options to pursue in the not-so-far future and all the websites that list multi-unit properties seem to be focused on the US market (loopnet, homes.com, crexi, realtor.com just to name few random ones that I found via google).The usual real estate portals in italy (immobiliare.it, casa.it, idealista.it) have no option for multi family and what can be found is often just related to multi-story properties intended as one single large property with multiple floors.Can you suggest how to approach this kind of search?

I live near Brooks City Base and there are great areas around there.

Remember, sometimes the best opportunity might be closer to home, or a different type of property might offer better returns.Market Research:Research the most promising areas for short-term rentals in Panama, focusing on locations with high demand for temporary accommodations.Seek out experienced property managers who can handle the daily operations, upkeep, and guest interactions, especially if you’re not based in Panama.Lastly, consider operational aspects like team building, establishing best practices, and ensuring compliance.

Now all that being said I would take a "retainer" that is based on the rent collected in a standard month.

But basing on the recent data, is it safe to say that we are entering a buyer's market this year?

Would that normally demand a higher sale price/cap rate based on investor appeal?

Our strategy is to buy and sell once the builder completes selling all the houses in the community.The base price of the house they're selling is $420K, but the model house, with all upgrades, is priced at $450K.
