    Where can I find land values?

    Hi Clayton, From my limited knowledge of development you need to know more about the costs of doing the work than the costs of the raw product. Many a keen investor and builder / developer has come out of a deal like this without being a lot ahead. I sold off the rear of a property in...

    Temporary residence inquiry

    Best place for a US citizen in Europe?

    Hi Clayton, Why not have a look round Eastern France. You can then commute to Germany, Switzerland and Italy also. + get a cheapie flight to UK via Ryanair. Strategically, that would be a reasonably good starting point to look. The Iberian Peninsular being the only odd ball. Thanks in advance

    Hi Clayton, I'm on the East Coast in a resort town and I don't think we have hit bottom yet. All I see is price reductions, homes staying on the market forever, and pissed off sellers who thought they were going to make a killing when they went to sell. Regards Damien
