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?

I see cabins that look incredible in photos but struggle to perform once they go live.They have the dramatic windows, the statement lighting, the designer furniture.

We have been with them for about 18 months now and while what they offer is pretty incredible in theory, they have royally dropped the ball in so many aspects.

To be clear, I'm not saying not to do the STR strategy but rather to go in with your eyes wide open. 

The lot has a single-wide mobile home and 2 RV hookups.
