now what is older and crap was american made cars in the mid 70s  LOL.. those were poorly built compared to European cars.

We do a virtual European REI meetup once a month.

No wonder American cities remain far less livable than our European counterparts...Regarding the economics, a 9 year ROI is tremendous in a market with a 3% cap rate.

@Scott MacI actually only use a 10:1 dripless skeletal gun from a European manufacturer and Red Devil's 26:1 gun.

Also, if there is any forum/website/similar where there are US/Canada purchasers with interest in European luxury real estate and in particular in the Mediterranean would be much appreciated.Thank you!

I would like to invest in real estate in a European country but I wonder if I would have to move to that country?

Two final items to consider: you will make your money when you purchase the land i.e. buy it right AND "you will walk a little different on land that you own" a memorable quote I received from a Eastern European refugee (Russian invasion 1952) that was purchasing 80 acres from me in 1981,  He had become a millionaire in America and enjoyed owning Land.  

But these markets are more of in an equilibrium so no big opportunity as it was US in 2012 and 2013.London is completely inflated in residential commercial is much cheaper.Other European countries could be a great opportunity particularly Greece and Portugal but they have not hit bottom yet, rental returns are low despite a 40-50% decline in prices and I don't see prospects for a fast recovery yet.  

All the resort properties are 70%+ American own, 20+% Canadian and a few% European.
