Appreciate you sharing that — and I completely agree that country-specific regulations can make a significant difference when investing internationally.Currency exposure is definitely a real consideration, especially over shorter holding periods, and tax treatment for non-residents can vary widely across European jurisdictions.Spain is often cited as an example where ownership structures and tax obligations may become more complex for foreign investors, particularly when it comes to global income reporting or non-resident ownership rules.In Hungary, the regulatory framework for foreign ownership tends to follow a more standardized administrative approval process for residential acquisitions, which may provide a bit more procedural clarity for non-resident investors depending on how the investment is structured.It’s also interesting that you mentioned STR performance in smaller towns — I’ve heard similar observations where long-term rental yields may be modest, but mid-term or short-term strategies can sometimes make the investment more viable, depending on local regulations.And absolutely — having a reliable local property management structure in place seems to be one of the key operational factors when investing abroad.Out of curiosity, have you found that working with a local management team helped mitigate some of those regulatory or operational risks?

Perhaps we could discuss deal flow strategies, market trends you're observing, or how we might collaborate on future opportunities where our goals align.Feel free to reach out directly if you'd like to continue this conversation.

I don’t work directly on the legal side, but from the lending side of the market the big thing I’ve seen is that there isn’t a single “DSCR rulebook” once you get outside agency lending.A few general observations:• The 3–4 year waiting period people quote is more of a guideline tied to certain lenders, not a universal standard.

We’re taking time to learn, observe, and build alignment before scaling.I’m learning Real estate isn’t a race and it's not about chasing every deal.

You always need to observe people's incentive.

Great observations.

Observe first, stabilize, then optimize.

On your Cleveland observation — "older vintage + no permits + crime profile probably means deferred maintenance and operational friction" is directionally correct but too vague to be actionable.

You don't want to sign a lease then find out you can only do 30-day minimums.One thing you might consider instead is renting an existing STR property as a midterm guest yourself for 3-4 months and just observing how the host operates.
