Will it be surprising if big global companies borrow from European banks with negative interest rates and deploy the capital into their “global” portfolio?

Welcome too :-)Sounds like a nice plan, although lots of EU countries now have limitations to mortgages, based on net incomeMaybe there's a way around that with an LLC, but then the interest may be higherAnyways, hope things will work out, and just in case it helps, I have most experience/affinity with European (mainly Czech) mortgagesCheers,Matthew

@Matthew Song LoongAnyone can get Spanish residency and eventually a European passport by investing a certain amount of money in Spanish real estate.

Besides, home ownership is lower than the US in a number of European countries (Germany, Austria, for example) and it hasn't been a economy crusher there.

In many European countries their efforts at stimulus resulted in negative interest rates.

Most of all, I would pay lots and lots of taxes for prenatal care to reduce infant mortality to European levels in the USA and finally eliminate the racial implications in that American statistic as it stands today.I think you've nailed it on the head, Ihe.

I remember the best years ago when my father was teaching me all about rental real estate in Australia.It was not unusual to had several European generations living in a home & they often collected a substantial amount of urine to boost the soils deficient in N, K & P under the fruit trees we had on the properties.

While in my opinion 7'8" squared is HUGE check out some small bathrooms on IKEA or European  schematics.

It has a modern, European vibe to it.
