Living and working in the twin cities, looking to diversify away from volatile markets and begin investing in real estate for cash flow.

Having a 10-12 years investment plan to build up a portfolio to sustain my retirement I consider Dubai RE market too volatile and I don't feel safe for my strategy, unless a future drop of prices will make me change my mind.On the other side, the town I live in Italy, north of Rome, is still economically very weak, still overpriced and not offering interesting ROI.So, the idea is to look for opportunities in Europe (my niche is students rental), searching for areas with a good growth potential and ROI.

You want to see how many tenants have stayed and paid on time and how volatile occupancy has been.

I've always been intrigued by the stock market but fell more into real estate and as you say, much less volatility.

Limiting the thermostats (or installing fixed set point thermostats) is another option, but I really don't want to have to worry about the volatility of fuel costs.

When that happens, a bunch of volatility is going to occur and if you are late to the party, things won't be fun.
