Good to know
- Holiday rental needs a tourist licence in the Comunitat Valenciana. Check that this property has one, or can get one, before you count on this income.
- In some years the rental income does not cover the mortgage and costs. Keep a cash reserve for those years.
- VAT of 10% on stays of 30 nights or less is in a decree that still needs approval by the Spanish Congress. You can switch it off under Rental income.
