I'm pretty sure he thought that building US style subdivisions with wood framing would revolutionize the Greek real estate market.  

Below is the following scenario:The house: 1800's Greek revival made into a duplex.

I got my fat Greek a$$ out to my target areas and walked holes into my shoes again and again.

And then there's color for some properties: I used to have a place I called "The Devil's Mother" because in Greek, the equivalent expression for "the middle of nowhere" is "where the devil's mother lives."

No aging absentee landlord answering to the name of Jimmy having the tranquility of his nap in the Greek islands disturbed to authorize paying the property manager, the plumber, and the county inspector their respective pounds of flesh for the repair.I do it for lousy tenants and for good tenants.

Once a landlord gets into leaving "a somewhat decent bottle of wine" and any sort of Martha Stewart branded product for a tenant (@Jill F. you made me laugh out loud), I just have to throw up my hands and walk away from all this aspirational parvenu nonsense.The very best wine I've had in my life was sold for ten euros for a 1.5 liter PET water bottle of it out of a big old glass νταμιτζάνα in my second cousin's buddy's shed on a tiny Greek island you've never heard of.

Care to share why you wish to be in the greek economy and market?

In order to bring people  (who were all some form of Pagan at the time)  into the Church the early Catholics used a lot of incorporating:  re-working old Pagan traditions into something "Catholic" (which means 'universal' in the original Greek)  to entice people to convert more readily.Although in the case of the Pagan sacred number 13 the tactic was to discredit it instead:  13 became spoken of as "unlucky" and associated with death and bad things in general.It is no accident that Christian holidays all occur on the dates or previous Pagan holidays:  Christmas in on the Winter Soltice, Easter at the Spring Equinox.
