It has shocked me the response I received from a neighbour and a few ""friends" when I responded to their query of how I spend my time now --"I own two rental properties".  

Nobody who lived as long as I did in Athens, Greece has bad things to say about Airbnb.

@Lara NicoleSo here's how it was: imagine a one-bedroom apartment in Athens, Greece.

I agree on not putting large sums of money into banks at the current time, but I think $100,000 was the threshold for bail ins when they happened in Greece, so unless you need to save for a 25% down payment in a high cost area, I generally think the “lost return” from a saving vs investing decision is immaterial.Good luck, and do what’s best for you.

Often neighbours will split the costs, but not always.

I moved here from Athens, Greece, and I could see the Parthenon from the roof of my apartment building.

With the unstability of current global markets and Greece?

Hi Jeremy...Regarding your question about people investing in Europe, we are getting good results for properties in Greece, largely due to the quality of the properties, seaside or sea view locations, significantly reduced prices, and last year's launch of the Greek residency visa for non-EU buyers spending at least 250,000 Euros.

I've noticed opportunities for real estate investment since i am living in Sofia, Bulgaria and the surrounding countries like Greece.

Hi, "neighbour" located in Czech Republic here,Recently I had to check a bit about Berlin real estate (yes, also for my business plan)As "landlord" since 2014, I should know a few things: financing, renting out...Let me know if my brains are worth picking :-)
