Even if I blew up the deal and found something 30k cheaper the mortgage ends up the same with the new interest rates today at the bank being 6.5%.

From my experience I've found that cheaper cleaners operate on TurnoverBNB.

European non-residents start with 19% income tax (STR's are normally added to your taxable income if you don't provide hotel services during their stay, which is 0 if you don't live there yourself) and can deduct costs, while non-Europeans start with 24% and can not deduct costs. 

So I think looking at that, you'd probably agree with me, a lot of people are living there for cheaper prices, and making a 25 minute commute to work.

If the investment kicks off taxable income, yes, you would pay taxes on that, just as if you invested in your own name.

For purposes of this form, you dispose of a property when you sell it in a taxable transaction.2.  

You don't have to do as many deals, economies of scale are better and per unit const tends to be cheaper than SFHFood for thought?

Under regressive tax, tax rate decreases as the taxable income increases.

Outside of say some reasonably priced areas of Europe (and I don't think it would be easy to purchase if you are not a citizen of the EU, but I am not sure) I find real estate as a whole, far cheaper and investor friendly in the US than most places of the world.
