      I am working on a piece about the challenges of being a landlord in Spain.

      I am interested in talking to anyone with experience of being a landlord in Spain, renting out a property short term or long term.

      I want to discuss problems and key success factors, good and bad experiences.

      Please PM me if you have any relevant experience.

      Thanks

      Mark

      Mark,

      I have sent you a private message, but I am not sure if it was successful.
      Please let me know if it has not arrived.

      regards, David

      I’m sure it would be a classic. Anyway, I’ve had a few responses, so I think I’m okay for now. But if you have an extraordinary story to tell as a landlord in Spain I’m always interested. Just PM me.

      Hi Mark

      What about from a community angle, that is what a community has to put up with when owners rent to all and sundry?

      Regards

      True. As a resident, the last thing you want is someone next door renting out to tourists.

      One tip is to have a 2nd lock on the main door, that way if the renter’s copy the key they can’t return later for a freebie. But doesn’t stop them returning when it’s rented out!

      If this is used in your article I’d appreciate a link to my site!!!
