Hi Jeremy...Regarding your question about people investing in Europe, we are getting good results for properties in Greece, largely due to the quality of the properties, seaside or sea view locations, significantly reduced prices, and last year's launch of the Greek residency visa for non-EU buyers spending at least 250,000 Euros.
