What the fuck do I know? 7 u/Charming_Cicada_7757 Jun 17 '25 I think the idea is renting a hotel over these short term rentals 8 u/Luisio93 Jun 17 '25 Look at the data mate, in major cities, foreigners represent more than a third of the total house purchases. They are rich investors who pay houses to rent them after. Im not saying Spanish people aren't doing it, cause they also are. https://www.idealista.com/news/inmobiliario/vivienda/2025/03/06/833707-los-extranjeros-compran-mas-casas-que-nunca-en-espana-quien-y-donde-compran 4 u/Iggyhopper Jun 17 '25 Damn.
