The concepts taught here on BP directly address the scarcity concept of investing in stocks vs. the abundance of investing in real estate.

The first loan applications we entered to the portal had errors, but could not be deleted, even by staff, and could only be labeled, literally, as dead.

Quote from @Chris Magistrado: Hope this thread isn't completely dead, but I wanted to weigh in my views for investing in Italy.I've been living here for almost 2 years now, and have been spending time trying to understand the market more.

I started at age 20, dead broke with no experience but hungry with lots of time on my hands. 

I can "cash flow" more from my stocks/index funds and high yield savings account with far less stress. 

You do want to order early in the sale before items start going out of stock. 

However when it publishes to websites for marketing it isn’t obvious that I’m renting rooms not an entire house so I get a lot of dead leads.

i work full time too, so i can only do one big project at a time, and can only make about 1 offer every 1-2 months.my stock answer to anyone is to invest where they live - and for expensive metros that includes 1-2 hours out. 

At the risk of taking flak here, I'm going to say I've seen a lot of super cute stock tank pools that are low-cost options. 

My point being, having a reliable team here is a must.Dialing in on what class neighborhood and what kind of property you want is as key as your metrics, especially given that much of our housing stock is ~125 years old --- at least in the city.
