We have a better debt to income ratio than several of our European counterparts.

@Michael LoweKeep doing what you are doing and gravitate towards more positive influences.

Unlike Greece or Spain who are part of the European Union and cannot print Euros, we create wealth by infusing liquidity and our economy expands. 

@Quincy Jones I would think your immediate circle of influence is the best place to begin, ie friends, family, co workers, acquaintances, etc.

More and more Russian and Easter European money are either moving or investing here.

If you believe that the sales price of new items influences the sales price of used items you arrive at the following conclusion.

There may still be a window where buying makes more sense; especially if you buy a property that does not have rental restrictions - many Europeans come for a month or two during the summer. 

Well- whatever I might have said that docked points from my Influence rating for my first posting, I did earn 4 points for that last posting-Anyway, best to you!

I plan to rehab and rent out regardless of outside influence and am curious as to the next steps in the process since the property is already in possession?

A person who does have a natural knack for Bmore may miss out by being influenced not to go.
