I can probably scrounge to cover the legal fees myself.

If I had any capital at all now, I'd buy this apartment in Roses on the Costa Brava. Close enough to Barcelona, close enough to Toulouse, about 300K less than less than the cost of a tiny apartment here in North County, and probably more rentable.

Please let me know if you would like to donate a mere $138,000 to my cause. That would cover the cost of the property.
