At the end of the day real estate tends to be so localized it is hard to make overarching assumptions.I do agree though in the broader scheme the problems with the European economy and the Feds reluctance to increase interest rates do not bode well for the macro economy The price increases do make it tough on investors who want to cash flow on rentals, but it does seem the rents are increasing along with the home values, just a little more slowly.

I don't like cleaning either, and since she's already here for the Airbnb unit.. lolAlso, I did drop $15K on a European vacation last year, which is actually pretty modest for traveling through Western Europe for a month and half..

The European opportunities are still there, but it's really a geo political play that's difficult to control.

And $190M in facility upgrades 2) In Downtown the Mass Ave district has been revamped and would probably be unrecognizable to you today: converted Coca-Cola bottling plant to a beautiful Art Deco hotel, movie theatre, food hall, fine dining...that's just one block3) IU Health (near Northside) announced in January a $4.3B expansion, making it the largest of its kind in the United States history4) Elanco - a subset of pharmaceutical giant, Eli Lilly (also HQ here) - broke ground last summer on their project, which will employ 100k people, valued at $160M.Indianapolis is no longer the sleepy "Nap Town" that you remember from the 90's. 

That should be a giant red flag for anyone considering CrestCore as a partner but that’s just our thought. 

Make it one giant vacation rental...

I actually traced it back to see how far back I could find the concept of "renting" in European civilization.

My landlord had to take it off the floor and snake out the giant knot of floss.

My only caution with IKEA is that for plumbing items the sizing of connections can be strange because the company is European.

This is going to be a giant ordeal for you.
