@Sam Rogers best wishes on a peaceful resolution.I haven't had this experience so am only speculating.

Its all speculative.

I've always been focused on the cash flow, not the speculation.  

-I think starting with the supposition that B/B+/A- MF, as a whole, will come out unscathed is incorrect.

Like I said though, it's pretty speculative 

The deal must be reviewed by the city to be allowed to move forward- currently highly overvalued market by all metrics, price to income etc - low appreciation and returns compared to emerging EU member states and US(most RE companies offer annual returns around 10% (minus high taxes) for high risk speculative investments)- extreme anti landlord legislation Basically, if you love France and want a secondary residence sure go ahead, but otherwise, given the number of attractive alternatives available at the moment, i don't see any valid reason to invest in France unless you are french and unable to invest elsewhere.

I'm wholesaling so I'll take into consideration for the buyer.One could speculate that troop levels will to continue to decrease, but when you look at the world conflicts an increase could be also.

Buying properties with negative cash flow and hoping for appreciation is speculation.

No need to speculate.

I'm just speculating.
