Only thing I dont get: why not save / invest otherwise & buy there when youre "sure" youll use it? I think the norm is already to sell properties of 20 years later, realizing they wont or cant really be used and having quite large missed revenues due to it. Why e.g. have a huge house & use it 2 weeks a year max?
Oh, I'm going to lease my apartments for sure :) Local stocks are also pretty attractive, not nearly as much attention is being paid to them as to the big international names.
