    How much is rent there in city center for an American? Would you be treated ok or poorly?
    serbia is the least racist country in the world and everybody is really nice...nobody cares where you are from, foreigners are welcome here and everybody is happy to see them...it is extremely safe here, there are 0 unsafe places...a lot of people speak english...the police is super friendly...will not shoot

    as for cost of living, you can get by on 500$ or on 2000$ it depends on your lifestyle...it depends on how high your standard is...shit will never get better here so the prices will always remain low...nice...

        Yea, weren't you living on your private island in some shithole island country?
        Oh yea, that's right, that imaginary money couldn't buy real estate so it was left in your imagination.

        Now you have, again, imagined you are actually building something.

        Haha, yea, you went from imaginary island vilas to justifying to yourself living in a shithole is actually 1st world location with 1st world living standards.
        Yea, let me see if there's some bridges on sale there also. I hear that sells like hot cakes.

            I have a 36ft class A RV and can live off grid pretty easily. It’s one of the plans. I lived in it for 3 years traveling so I know it’s capacity.

                south america is a great place as well...you should do zig zag...a few years south america, a few years asia and back...zig zag...
                That is what i am doing the last years, few years in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and other parts. And than back to Europe for a month and travel further to Asia for some months/years

                Cause corona madness i will travel from Europe to Mexico next month. Brazil is really cheap now after the BRL crashed while it was going down already for years. Building is much easier in those lands, no need for a complete heating system. And just use some light weight stones. In Holland everything is triple isolated

                everything is fake

                    oh my 3rd world problems...I am building an adidas shaped house for fun with a bigger swimming pool than your entire apartment just for fun...a 100m2 pool is about 3K in ICF and I am literally too lazy to calculate the concrete it is so dirt cheap...under 500$...

                    you beggar, tell me, how big is your tiny ass western apartment? I will make a swimming pool and garages both bigger than what you live in

                                                        the ICF takes 12cm reinforced concrete...1m3 concrete, high price, is 60 euros...this means for 1m2 I need approx 8 euros

                                                        the steel crap that goes in this is 70cents per kilo "lose" or 80cents per kilo "tied"...

                                                        I am too lazy to work out how much the pool will actually cost...I will laugh at any price they give me and have the cash in my pocket at any given time...

                                                            Depending on how you want to build it, a 100m2 pool still need a concrete floot, so lets say you go easy and only want 15cm walls, you are at 15 m3 of concrete = 60 * 15 = €900 alone for the concrete.

                                                            For steel, you need 500-700kg for the floor alone = uppps the €500 I told you
                                                            8 mm dimensions in sections of 2350x5000 mm 150x150 mm masks, is 62.5 kg each


                                                            And then comes the ICF.. those are NOT cheap

                                                            Then comes the painting or surface treatment

                                                            and are you and your slav army gonna dig the hole by hand to keep cost down?

                                                            What about around the pool? gonna just let gras or gravel fall into your pool?

                                                                    For steel, you need 500-700kg for the floor alone = uppps the €500 I told you
                                                                    8 mm dimensions in sections of 2350x5000 mm 150x150 mm masks, is 62.5 kg each


                                                                    And then comes the ICF.. those are NOT cheap

                                                                    Then comes the painting or surface treatment

                                                                    and are you and your slav army gonna dig the hole by hand to keep cost down?

                                                                    What about around the pool? gonna just let gras or gravel fall into your pool?
                                                                    I said the ICF is like 3000$ for 100m2 walls for a house...a pool is not as deep as a house...the ICF takes 12cm concrete not 15cm...they build pools with it no problem...a digger is 2$/m3...too lazy to work out how much for the pool...around the pool is polished concrete thing...dirt cheap...too lazy to work it out...it is pennies...too lazy to even remember what they told me LOL...

                                                                    feel the power of the 3rd world!...I watch "Grand designs" on youtube and laugh...it is so absurdly expensive to build in the west...

Could a typical "I Love Istanbul but I've never been anything but a tourist" type do ok buying one of these? Very low price - suspicious - they also don't seem to exist yet so you're buying a project that may never happen? What's the catch?

Could a typical "I Love Istanbul but I've never been anything but a tourist" type do ok buying one of these? Very low price - suspicious - they also don't seem to exist yet so you're buying a project that may never happen? What's the catch?

But I don't rent unless it is for vacation. You can get a 90 day automatically as an American but after that it becomes inconvenient. With owning, you can almost assuredly get a 1-5 year that you don't actually have to use.

There´s many tapas restaurants and bars still in land, heading to Murcia where the cost of a drink and some paella is just a few €!

Can you get by or do you need to learn some basic language skills first? I'm American and we have only ever been taught one language. I took Spanish in high school, but it was a waste of time. There wasn't a Spaniard within a thousand miles to practice with.
