In many cases, the property is used as a second home, rented out, or simply kept as an investment while the owner resides in another country. This situation raises practical questions about <strong>obligations within the community of owners<\/strong>, especially when it is time to take on official roles.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"958\" data-end=\"1270\">One of the most common questions is whether someone who lives outside Spain can be appointed president of the community of owners and what happens in those cases. At Fotocasa, we explain what the role of <strong>community president<\/strong> involves, how the position is chosen, whether it is possible to refuse it, and in which situations we can request an exception.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"958\" data-end=\"1270\"><section class=\"mini-posts\"><div class=\"row align-items-center\"><div class=\"col-4 col-md-3 pt-2 pb-2\"><div class=\"mini-posts__image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fotocasa.es\/fotocasa-life\/buyers\/evolution-of-house-prices-for-sale-in-spain\/?lang=en\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fotocasa.es\/fotocasa-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/How-much-does-it-cost-to-buy-a-house-in-Spain-355x230.png\" alt=\"How much does it cost to buy a house in Spain?
