Renting out a property in Spain can be an excellent option to get a capital gain and a way to ensure your property is maintained while you are not around to do so yourself. A monthly rental income can often be profitable enough to cover the monthly bills and taxes on your property and may also meet or even exceed the monthly mortgage payments.
