Hi All,Am a dual Citizen (US Born/family from Portugal) and am looking to invest in Portugal that has become increasingly popular in tourism and economically as a country.

My personal assessment of the overall economic risks has hit a tipping point.  

“Activities may be grouped if they constitute an appropriate economic unit for measuring gain or loss.”

Of the multiple paths forward one was to build the home, apply very economical finishing and lease to section 8.

The appealing aspect here is the ongoing population growth and other economic factors.

This makes it an ideal starting point for new investors or those looking to diversify their portfolio without taking on excessive risk.Potential for Appreciation: San Antonio's real estate market has shown steady appreciation over the years, driven by economic growth and an influx of new residents.

people get great joy talking doom and gloom and Armageddon.I’ve been in the RE biz since 1978 and been thru several economic and market cycles.Stagflation in the 70s, 17% home loan rates in the early 1980s, the failure of 1/3 of American Savings and Loans in the early 1990s, the dot com boom the dot com bust, the subprime crisis in 2008, Covid………I’m probably forgetting a few.

Have we forgotten the 2008 global financial crisis that wouldn't happen in foreign countries where properties are bought with cash and the risk of foreclosures is 0? 

Now is the time to be investing in Wenatchee, Washington.This year the area's first Hydrogen plant is scheduled to start operating a $25,000,000 project.Northwest Natural Gas is putting in a $43,000,000 natural gas plant.In May of this year, the Washington State Port Association awarded The Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority The 2024 Job Creator Award for creating jobs in the area.Earlier this year at a state of the economics luncheon it was rumored that the area will have over 25 data centers in the future.I was recently at a community meeting where Helion Spoke about putting in the world's first Fusion plant.

Here's a very small pros and cons list I've made for the area:Pros:Potential for Appreciation: Rapid growth and development can lead to property value increases.Stable Rental Demand: Proximity to Raleigh and economic opportunities ensure a steady stream of potential renters.Desirable Location: Good schools, amenities, and quality of life attract families and professionals.Cons:Market Competition: Increased demand can lead to higher property prices and competition among buyers.Out-of-State Management: Managing a property remotely can be challenging without a trustworthy local team.Economic Dependence: The area’s growth is closely tied to the economic health of Raleigh and the Research Triangle.
