@Jamie BanksI understand there are multiple parties: 1) displaced insurance policy holder (tenants)  2) ALE 3) The company that supplies all the furniture and install the washer and dryer. 

If there are barriers that limit similar supply and you figure out how to get the housing units online, even better.

Now track either housing shortages or for sale supply, or on market data for those same data Points.When you do this, you will question why you are even thinking about the Stock market. 

This are the best few hundreds of EURs you will invest and can save you thousands.On my case, i'm currently in the process of investing in 2 properties in Sagres for tourism, as the zone belongs to a natural reserve and supply is very limited (i also hired the 2 ppl i mentioned above).
