Hello my name is Diego, we live in Hamburg Germany, with some real estate investment in the USA. 

I plan on buying a multi-tenant apartment building in Berlin, Germany.

My wife and I will be moving to Germany on military orders.

I started investing in Real Estate with helping my Mom buy a townhouse in the DC area in the 1970's by loaning her $2,000, later I was in the military and bought a townhouse in the DC area while living in Germany and on temporary assignment to Spain.

Hi,Admittedly new to this Bigger Pockets, but it's a great tool and very underused in the UK, hopefully we can change that though.It's great to see the opinions and thoughts of those from outside of the UK on the property market in this part of the world - as Jack has suggested there are certain dilemmas when looking to invest in the UK, but I think with further insight into the market and with the guidance of the right people risks can be reduced.Property will always continue to be a valued addition to any investors portfolio, many of the comments here are right in saying that there are various options with auctions, property brokers, clubs etc - each with various benefits and risks, DD is always important for any investor.With a few decent property brokers who offer BMV packaged opportunities, these can be interesting, especially with adjustments in lending criteria there are some very good deals available to UK and non-UK residents, naturally though ROI's vary and being a landlord in the UK isn't as bad as some may suggest.There are many opportunities in the UK and mainland Europe with Germany, Switzerland, and Spain just a few to mention. 

Back in my days based in Germany & France there were enclaves of these very small  summer 'cottages' used as get-aways as the majority lived in cramped apartments in the city.

One of these five countries will do something similar to what Germany did in 1921 where they ran the printing press on marks to stimulate the German economy through cheap exports.

Over a hundred years ago, the industrial revolutions moved out of England over to Germany and the US. 

Good nations like Germany can afford to have free college and such because their financially stable.

California is the #5 economy by GDP growth in the world behind US, China, Japan and Germany.
