Has anybody decided to just split time living between US & Europe to avoid the constant visa renewals, filing Euro taxes, etc ? How realistic is it that I spend 5 months in Spain and 7 in the US and use Spain as a vacation home ? I understand you don't need to be a (fiscal) resident to purchase property.

In regards to this I have 2 specific questions:

1. Housing

How hard is to get rentals / housing for recurring periods every year. I'm open to buying a property to live in while i'm there but what happens when you're not there ?

2. Health Care

Can I use private health care as my main health care in Spain and just use "catastrophic" or travel insurance for coverage in the US ?

If anybody is doing something similar I'd appreciate any insights.
