People are getting priced out of the market and consumption is going to fall off as long as there is no more free money chasing fewer goods.The question is, are we on the way to Weimar Germany and hyper inflation?  

@Jacquelyn First it's standard in Germany ( and other EU counties) to bring your own appliances into the apartment.

I am currently in the US Air Force and I am stationed in Germany.

I was given a temporary detail (7 months) where I would live and work in Germany, helping US Veterans and service members obtain benefits, and helping service members transition out of the military.

Long story, when I was a teen helped Mom buy her first house by loaning her down payment, bought a rental for myself in my 20's in DC area while living in Germany, in thirties bought and sold houses we lived in, stepping up in size as we went.

I live in Germany, but my rental is in FL.

Currently I am stationed in Germany, and I closed the deal in North Carolina, so that was a bit difficult, but I made it work.

Hi there -Just listened to podcast episode #214 of the podcast and was surprised by Joel Sherlocks statement that REI in Canada didn't made much sense for him/his company so they went to the US/Arizona instead..We're currently located in Munich, Germany but have been all over the place in the past, spent a couple of years in NZ, and are now seriously thinking about moving to Canada (BC) and starting to invest in real estate (small rentals) there.Any insights from local investors much appreciated -Does it make sense to invest in real estate in the BC/AL area these days, i.e. are there good deals to be found..?

They don't have frat parties in Germany, China or Brazil with people drinking beer from red plastic cups on the front lawn of a 5000 SF frat house.

Thank you @MICHAEL YBARRA @Rick Harmon @Bernie Germani @Frank R. , I appreciate the support!
