That this is a time for professionalism, to utilize focused analysis and those using such will be rewarded with "discovery" of the deals, while those using the lazy-shotgun-approach forged by last "EZ" years investing, will be most likely be punished for such. 

@Clint Vonburg,As someone who has done this many, many times over, let me just say-- it's a high-risk, high reward strategy.     

@David Campbell it comes down to risk reward.

It’s certainly very rewarding.

It’s so much more rewarding building your own portfolio.

Ask for $1,000 I will ask you about the Reward.  

Market price of the RE reflects both the perceived risk and reward/return associated with the purchase.Good luck

You've taken the first step by seeking out information and education to achieve your goal of becoming a full-time investor.Real estate investing can be lucrative and rewarding, but it also requires hard work, dedication, and continuous learning.

I currently have no debt.As you might know, real estate in Switzerland is quite costy and I also feel like it is not a good idea for now (taxes).I was thinking of playing it "high risk, high rewards", by those, I mainly mean eastern European countries such as Romania, Bulgaria, Poland and as a second idea, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, even though they are next to some bully, they are in NATO, so should be ok, I guess.I know some of those countries do not allow foreigners to get a mortgage loan (Lithuania at least) and some countries have high interest rate (Romania, 7%).Here are my two questions: Does anyone have experience with those countries?

And the rewards are commiserate.
