Also, Lidl, a European grocery chain with its US headquarters in Arlington, VA, is nearing completion of a one million square foot distribution facility and its first stateside grocery store.  

Saving 2% in processing and 3% elsewhere is what is required to survive and/or thrive, while competitors are shutting down or being bought out.Other trends in 2021:- Paying existing tenants to conduct showings before vacating, thus not needing to pay real estate brokers - No office, be completely remote, save $$$$$ by not having an office space- Virtual team: pay $5 per hour to an expert European consultant instead of $20 to an entry level American.- Your property photos = marketing content, professional photoshoot / videos / 3D walk-throughs = major change in demand generation

@Adam York most major or local areas have a Facebook groups dedicated to finding a roommate or even an apartments so if your price range is within someone budget of finding a roommate u can subject your rental.

Maybe Ukraine spreads into a broader European war. 

Most major Brokerages require you to join NAR, so stick to the smaller firms.My old firm in NC, (had to join NAR) had a nice pay structure of $35 per month and $299 per closing (including E&O), and you keep 100%.

@Hailey Sexton It isn't hard to find rental properties in most major cities although choices can be slim November-April when tourism is high.

Look at how much controversy surrounds just the study of European settlement of the U.S. and their conflict with Native Americans! 

But that $12k could also pay for a European trip for my Husband and I and I would have no problem spending it.  

LEts just hope that the deals were analyzed property in context of worst case scenario so that when worst case scenario happens they still have pants on, especially if we are talking about a buncha old guys or old women....or european tourists..........  

Set your budget, have preapproval ready (in most major markets there is a severe under supply of listed properties), and start touring properties.
