Try to invest in something that offers unique amenities in a desirable location and ensure that your rental rates are attractive.

It is best to employ a trusted and recommended local property management team to handle this for you if you are not living in the area yourself. The costs for this should be considered when pricing your holiday let. If you are from a non-EU country you may be taxed in Spain on your rental income, so make sure that your lawyer advises you of all the likely financial outgoings you will face before committing yourself.
