      Don’t. You don’t know where they’ve been (Epstein island? 🤮).

    Here in Belgium taxes on the purchase of a second (or third, or fourth, …) home are nearly nonexistent but taxes on the first home are 20%+

    I hate being ruled by wannabe oligarchs. I say wannabe because they would wish they could run amok here like in the good ol US of A, but it isn’y for a lack of trying.

      I can see it, but no, this guy is completely serious. He owns a real estate agent company, on the government register and everything.

    If you think you’ve got it rough, I’ve got 723 purchases going through and I’m set to only make 5 million vs the projected 7 million, meaning I have to cut back on that holiday in vegas! When will people stand up for hard working people like me???
