Spanish property options: Spain From Boom to Bust in Three Generations
Spain today, is a very different Country from the Spain that many of us lived in, and visited in the last decade. In reality experts foresaw the current collapse of an economy based on unsustainable credit, real estate speculation, and pulled out of Spain before the collapse of 2008. But what is the reality, and future of a once dubbed European Union success story? Rising living costs, and low salaries killed the Spanish dream for many expatriates as was the shortage of any available work. Before the current unemployment crisis, young Spaniards demonstrated in Madrid, citing the fact they could not live on 600 euro a month. Expatriates cashing on this boom, sold on often buying properties in Bulgaria and South Africa, Spanish-based real estate agents promoted. Corruption also helped kill the economy. Before the 2008 collapse Spain had the unenviable reputation of having three former Majors in jail at the same time, and the local police chief. All helped create a mini-boom in Marbella, at the expense of "selling" public land to favored speculators, and awarding illegal ownership papers. This corruption killed the faith in Spanish property ownership.
