When I ran the numbers I always considerer a macro change with Euribor increasing to 5%.

LA to AR. that is a big culture shift.

I mean I think about it a lot now that we are closing in on 70.. but hey 70 is the new 50 :) And different cultures handle this far differently than others.. this is why you see some new builds catering to multi generational floor plans..

It's cultural actually LOLback in early 2000 before all these ADU becomes a trend, some part of the city in San Jose is already congested becayse many houses are already having too many ADU, converted rooms, rent by room and so on and so on.

I ran into a similar issue back in 2021 when I got started while living in San Francisco.

I ran from it.

This is part of a larger trend of waterfront developments happening such as the Potomac River Generating Station turning into a 2.5 million square foot mixed-use community, the Montgomery Center turning into 327 new apartments, 25,000 square feet of retail, and 13,000 square feet of arts and cultural center starting July of 2024,This puts Robinson Terminal North as the next big project developers are eyeing, with Rooney Property groups announcing their plans to redevelop the decade-long abandoned warehouse space into a 600,000 square feet multifamily, retail, and thriving park area by 2025 following the completion of Hazel Waterfront Tunnel at the site.This new development, which received approval just a little over a month ago, has had many delayed development plans due to concerns about environmental hazards, which have now all been cleared upSources:Robinson North plan advances amid environmental concernsAlexandria Waterfront Small Area Plan March 2024Potomac River Generating StationSwimmable Potomac River CampaignMontgomery Center Redevelopment ApprovedAlexRenew completes two-mile long, 100-foot deep tunnelAlexandria City West, Landmark Mall Redevelopment (2028)Alexandria's Landmark Mall, which at a time was a thriving 52-acre strip mall that was a major attraction in West Alexandria, has long been an eye soar and swath of unused space.

Do I give up access to transportation, restaurants, cultural activities, doctors, emergency medical care, religious and business activities, vet care and maybe more, to live in the country on my ranch or on the beach in a beautiful country, or do I keep access to all those things and live in the city? 

Some of the logistics are fuzzy as we would have to travel there regulary, get to have a great understanding of the cultural differences, build a 'team' of people as there are no Home Depots on every corner, but for about $50k US, you can own a pretty cool place in Italy.Best of luck to you!

However I ran a few quotes on Obie Insurance (geared specifically towards landlords) and for only the 4 houses I checked, I am saving 1,5k a year if I switch.
