I am based in the Netherlands, currently there is a huge regulatory rist on real estate investments. I am risking losing more than have my monthly cashflows with new laws on rental cap.
I am thinking of selling and start investing in US. Any tips on where to look, things to take in consideration?

This is a big move by the elites to try to control all real estate. Don’t sell find another way to make it work. DEFINITELY don’t come buy in the US. We already have too many international owners of properties and would like to keep the wealth in our country as people who live here already can’t afford rent costs because they are extremely outlandish. So with all due respect, do not try to purchase real estate in the US unless you plan on moving here and benefiting the local economy

funny

That is horrible, but the same is happening in the netherlands. They are using a point-based system that determines the max rent you are allowed to ask. Even though the market rate could be double this rate.
They are currently working on reinforcing massive fines if you ask for higher rent that the pre-set rate. I just know someone who got 45k fine.

It’s a free country. You buy all the real estate you want. I buy in other countries. The hard part is managing a rental that isn’t close by. The simplest things like repairing my Jacuzzi is a pain. Management companies are just kinda lazy. They don’t seem to care if it rents. We also have areas with rental caps. Some states are making it really difficult to provide rentals. Good old government trying to help. When the government sets prices investors leave. During Covid they told tenants they didn’t have to pay rents and some cities kept it around way past the emergency and used it as a welfare system at the landlords expense.

The claims: ‘Trump inherited an amazing economy!!’ ‘No Trump unleashed the powers of the free market by lowering taxes!!’

The truth: We leverage our valuations with bad debt fostered by addictive and uncontrolled spending. It leads to companies (and sovereign entities) being fragile and vulnerable to seismic shocks. If housing/labor markets roll over, there’ll be cascading consequences rooted in the debt burden.

Just bought a new primary residence that needs work. Current home has ~$100k equity after buying in 2019 with <$20k down (appreciated around 20% in the last 3 years, in a major metro area). Would you:

1) Lock in the appreciation & sell now. Use some for renovations/other investments.

2) Keep for another 2-3 years & rent out for a small cash flow (<100/month if self-managing), get a HELOC if needed. Note it would not pass my investment criteria if buying today.

3) other approach?
