I was in a similar situation in 2002 in NY and sold the property. Regret it ever since

Regret it because it would have given me great income right now and get me closer to retirement .

Where in TX? If in Austin I would keep since that market is blowing up.

Keep it and continue to rent it out.

Thanks for all the replies guys - I'm in a dilemma but at least it's a good dilemma. Will do some comparative analysis and then finalize.

Which school district? (I’m looking to buy my first home, so just curious)

Hello All,

I hope everyone is doing well.

Is anyone here, who switched company from India to Germany?
Do they consider only German speaking candidates or English speaking is ok for them?
Also, anyone have experience with EU Blue card.
Can we directly apply for EU blue card from India if there is a job offer? Anyone got visa sponsorship directly from German employer?

I have seen most of companies need German speaking candidates.
