My wife and I are in a similar boat, as we're stationed in Germany for the next couple years.

Hey everyone, I'm currently stationed in Germany on active duty. 

Having moved from Germany to the US myself I understand the challenges and benefits of investing in US real estate.

Germany has quiet hours and days which limit the majority of traffic.

@Michael Nosbaum Nice, I was stationed overseas in Germany/Japan for 9 Years and enjoy coming back to Medford haha although it was much larger then when I had left.Yeah this area seems a bit expensive, you may not always get a high ROI but appreciation seems to be crazy right now which can work against you too. 

As a German, I don't like games and they just overplayed it and I really don't care any longer. 

The PIGS (Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain) were receiving benefits of linking their economy to that of Germany & France.

I'm tired of hearing people talk about "who the world likes" or that "Germany loves Obama" or "what will the islamic terrorists think about electing McCain".

I am currently in Kuwait working and have actually been overseas since 2005 (Germany, Qatar, Kuwait) and the housing has all been paid for over here.

I have been in Germany, Qatar, and Kuwait) the first/last deal that I completed was almost all completed while being overseas.I had the drive to accomplish the flip and that is what got me going.
