Not sure what help I can provide on other 2 options but I have some contacts in Germany.  

Have another account with 6 months of expenses, which includes all expenses, not just emergency--that trip to Russia, Sweden, and Germany, another for Hawaii, funds to fly out the grand kids a few times a year, household expenses, all the rental expenses, maybe a new car, whatever you typically would spend on 6 to 12 months. 

Germany is on the brink of recession and China seems to be heading in that direction as well.

That is less per capita than France, Germany, UK or Sweden.   

Born in germany to asian immigrants, visited private high school.

I was born in Germany to asian parents.

I am not real competitive in the sport, but did a 4-way (belly) formation team for a bit and a 10-way speed star team for a few years in Germany. 

Hi German!!! 

There are things to be aware of that are negative and should be avoided but there are also companies that do things right, who offer good service to their investors, and who develop great relationships in the community, leading to good tenants, and good value in the assets.I am originally from Germany and Quality is something that is in our DNA.

Another alternative is to do things the way they do them in Germany.
