I personally hope to meet like-minded people from BiggerPockets, to be able to exchange ideas about real estate investments in general and to build up a network.I am currently trying to find the most suitable investment strategy for me and the European market.

Hi all, I'm a Belgian Real Estate Broker working for Cushman & Wakefield (Belgium) and I am absorbing as much knowledge as I can about investing. I am comparing opportunities in my home country with opportunities ...

So rents and home prices movements can diverge, and rather dramatically.In the current real estate market it seems that in most major markets across the US there's a pretty tight correlation between rising rents and rising home prices, some markets even in percentage terms (which I find somewhat remarkable). 

In most major metro areas, there is close to only 1 month of supply of housing.  

I have read that these type of properties are sold through networking, however I’m new to this (never sold a property before).The asking price is on the range of €2M and it is visible here: www.ninfale.comIdeally, I would invest part of the profit in small rental real estates in major European capitals.What advice would you give to someone in my place?

The Greek are now stuck in generational debt slavery with no option for bankruptcy because European bankers in 2008 didn't want to take the hit they deserved for making bad loans and passed the buck to the citizens of the countries they were based in.I do not think national banks big enough to do thinks like this really make contributions to the societies they prey on that counterbalance the damage that they routinely do.

New update on the BH&J Rent vs Buy Index. https://business.fau.edu/departments/finance/real-estate-initiative/bhj-buy-vs-rent-index/bhj-summary/Interesting to note that most major markets have officially crossed over, where renting your residence and reinvesting what you would've spent on a home makes more financial sense than buying.

@Allyson Straka Most major MSAs are at or near-peak levels.

How else could he be financing his European vacation and his Hawaiian vacation - and that's just this year?

Same with most major rehabs, etc.The one thing I try to avoid telling clients is to go out and spend money for the sake of saving taxes.
