I meant all this for slightly more settled people, but since you bring it up, I still think it makes sense for people like you too. I bought a house in a city about a year before I knew I was likely to leave for another country. When I was sure, and told people I was leaving, they presumed I meant some long term plan. They thought I was delusional when I said I meant in a couple of months. Everybody said it couldn't be done; what about this, what about that, it's not as easy as just packing up and going! Yes, yes it is. I did as much prep as I needed to, packed my bags, and left. I rented the house out _whilst_ was in the other country, and eventually sold it for a nice profit when I'd had enough of that. It was incredibly easy, and I haven't even gone into the parts that should have been difficult given a particular situation I was in. If you can buy, then buy. You won't regret it.
