Good afternoon! There are a lot of legal features in France, I advise you to read as many archival Homes Overseas articles as possible, not to touch on everything in a short answer. I will only note that the key issue is taxes, if everything is done "stupidly according to the rules", it will not be very profitable, in France there are many opportunities for legal tax optimization.
You can get a mortgage if you provide documents adequate to the requirements of French banks, especially in terms of income confirmation. There is no difference in mortgage terms in the regions, but a lot will depend on the bank to the bank
