We also have two real estate investor organizations in the area that are very active and informative.

I have concerns about working with one of these types of organizations because I'm not sure what the likelihood of paying rent will be once the renter is on their own. 

The sovereign debt of Greece has grown over 20% as a %of GDP in the last 3 years largely due to the fact that their GDP has fallen, which makes the debt load look even more daunting.

I have talked to the owner of the home next door and he states that I need to cut the tree down, because the previous owner of my property topped the tree off and the tree has grown into his yard over time.
