Serious question, what should I consider before moving to Serbia and buying an apartment for $40k?
- Ekaros 4y agoGenerally location, services and availability of work... Might even have services, but no work... That is for Finland. Like I see 32k€ for 3 bedroom house, with relatively big plot. 2km from "town" center... What explains it is area losing population.
- dale_glass 4y agoWell, just a few things that come to mind: * Speaking the language -- in some places they don't speak much English, and certainly don't do official paperwork in it. * Local laws * Safety * How much stuff you need is going to be nearby * Internet access * Local culture * Employment * Friends and family Like, I don't know much about Serbia (just looked up where housing is cheap), but from what I hear I could get a pretty good deal if I moved to Russia -- they're desperate for tech workers and offering some very good perks regarding mortgages and so on. But on the other hand, is living in Russia that good of a deal right now? I don't think so. They've got a bad government, slow and very restricted internet access, a not terribly pleasant society overall in my impression, and the economy is circling the drain due to all the sanctions.
- tryauuum 4y agosome nitpicking: internet in Russia is very fast and stable. But you are right when you say "restricted". The retarded government tries to ban some websites.
- dale_glass 4y agoHow fast of a connection can you get? I'm on 1Gbps fiber, and can get 10G/10G fiber for cheap at my home right now, and just finished with the preparations.
