I have always been fascinated by how things are valued and am looking forward to getting started as a "Newbie" please be kind... =-)Mahalo Nui Loa, Tom

Rental permits in Greece, any info?

What is fascinating to me is that the city council and mayor somehow interprets the data differently than realtors and folks actually in the real estate industry.

Last time I saw this I was in Greece in 2007, learning the flip game in an environment so out of whack that after the bottom fell out of the giant Ponzi scheme that the country had become, the Greeks were forced to admit the situation would take generations to fix.I'm not going to cry doom and gloom.

I'm a real estate agent based in Athens, Greece, while completing my first flip as an investor.

Very, very few who aren't doing STR vacation rentals are making it in places like Germany now.Genny, I can't tell you about Germany, but I CAN tell you about Athens, Greece.

Lots of details here to consider so when you say how would I draft this up - there is a lot to consider but my thoughts:Rent = 1200/month3 yr option to purchase = $240,000not sure what state you are in but propose to handle everything (maintenance, repairs, etc and if that is not legal/possible you could do a Land contract or contract for deed with a  minor risk since he has an underlying mortgage).feel free to reach out and schedule a  call. seems like you have a fascinating one. 

I've been fascinated by laundromats for some time, but there's such a wild variability in both the gross and net that it's hard to generalize.

I remember how fascinated I was with everything that had to do with REI, every askepct of it: I liked the idea of owning property, the financial concept, I love taking something run down and making it really nice again, I like working with people - maybe you feel the same way.

Now, another 50 years downstream... maybe even 30 years...the incredibly clever and fascinating waste sorting centers may get good enough that is is actually price competitive with landfills.
