I'm interested in purchasing property in southern Europe, right now I'm looking at Barcelona, Spain. With the property values declining in the cities/countries that are struggling, I think it wouldn't be so bad to consider.
I'm mainly looking for a 1 bed, 1 bath, living room and possibly den. Looking for an apartment so that I wouldn't have to worry about it while I'm not there. I would consider renting to friends and family that are interested in going.
I'm not particularly fixated on one location, but I prefer something that stays relatively warm and is near a major airport. It would be my base as I would like to frequent travelling around Europe in the future. I'm not exactly sure what the prices are, but I was thinking along the 200k euros range possibly just under 300k. Something 600 sq feet plus. Beaches close by is ideal, where the weather says above 10 degrees Celsius as a min through the whole year. The max temp is unlimited of course
From an investment perspective. Income would come from those "trusted" individuals I rent it to on an infrequent basis. And hopefully, once Europe improves their situation, property value will improve and appreciate. Additionally, their currency may improve as well.
Essentially, my questions to the forum are
1. Are there any other areas I should consider that fit my criteria?
2. Is there a European version of mls.ca or a good website?
3. Recommended foreign Realtors?
4. How's the idea sound to you?
Maybe I've been daydreaming to much today.....
