Best Europe Short-term Rental Opportunities

[Jeremy Mahan]

I recently moved to Europe from Texas and have noticed that there are lots of short-term (Airbnb) rentals in most of the European cities. I am interested in getting more information about which cities would be the best options for a first time short-term rental owner. I have owned long-term rental properties in the States for more than 10 years, but have no experience with short-term, and no experience with Europe home ownership. Where would I look to find information about the best European cities/regions to invest in short-term rentals? I'm looking for information about restrictions to foreign investors, taxes, ability to get a mortgage, affordability, etc. If there is a site or someone has this information, I would really appreciate it.

My wife and I keep our eyes open for Italian STR opportunities. We both love the country and the area.

We belong to a couple Italian real estate groups on Facebook and see a lot get posted. Hope that helps at least some!
