Hey @Sara Carter, we've helped a few people find lenders for a similar situation.

@Barry Randall, try joining a meet up regarding real estate in Madrid or meeting other people here on the forum close to you.

@micha@Wayne Brooks Appreciate the input here, this would make the most sense to me as well. 

Thanks Andrew - I read your article and it made some sense but I need to read it like 3 more times to fully grasp it.  

Personally, I've been investing more than 50 years and never looked at the demographics for a neighborhood one time because I always felt that you need more personal knowledge about the neighborhood e.g. whether it is blue-collar working people, whether it infested with gangbangers, what the ability to increase rents is, etc. and the only way to get a good feeling and understanding is to personally visit the neighborhoods in the daytime, evenings and on weekends because weekends and nighttime is when the bad people come out like cockroaches.

So very few.  1/2 of those the prices will make no sense to many investors.Hopefully you prove me wrong and find all the exceptions, but that is often what I see.

If a lot of people around you are cold calling, you will likely be calling the same people.

Just like some people prefer pick up trucks to cars or Chevy to Ford.

But the reality is most people rent these spaces, a lot of homeowners depend on this income. 

If she is in distress would seller financing make sense?
