Is Netherlands worth moving to? Currently living in Estonia, making 4.5k net per month. I definitely can save up here more than in NL. But was thinking if NL will provide me with something unique

Depending on what’s your benchmark is. I don’t know about Estonia but Netherlands is good for WLB, relaxed, laid back people are friendly, English speaking - but you also have to understand that career growth opportunities are limited, weather is unpredictable and healthcare is horrible.

I'm from Baltimore, and lately, we have had a crazy buying spree, I mean I have sold the same property 2 times in less than 2 weeks, and the person who bought it immediately put it on the market and made an average of $25k in less than 5 days. Many reports show that investing in Baltimore and Philadelphia is the future, I don't doubt it. What is the fastest you have ever resold a property?

I saw this townhouse in a prime location in my city for $350k (cheap for the area). The floors are all messed up though but the buyer said they’ll either lower the house price or give a credit for closing cost. There’s also a lot of nicks here and there (some locks missing from door, dents, scratches, stains, and some things are loose). But overall, the house’s architecture and design is so beautiful. Would it be worth it to get it and fix it up? Or find a newer house with less maintenance?
