    For the capital of the most prosperous country in Europe, property is dirt cheap. That's because there's not much industry/large cos yet, but I think that will change.
    I was going to invest in Berlin around about the time the recession started as developers were talking up the city but when I looked into it, it didn't stack up.

    Did some research and found out a lot of property funds had invested in Berlin which they bought years ago due to talk of it being the next hotspot which never materialised. Periodically, they try to talk it up to offload some of their stock but buyers just aren't snapping.

    What makes you think large industry would move into Berlin in the future as opposed to locate in Poland which I would imagine has cheaper commercial rents?

    Not much money in it really. Very cheap to buy opium in Afghan. The price on the street in London is ~17000% what it is to buy direct from the manufacturer.

    The money to be made is in transportation and distribution.

    I wouldn't buy anywhere where Islam makes an immoderate appearance. Shame as that excludes some very interesting parts of the world.
    You've got a place in London right?

    Is Berlin still the only major city in Europe with a shrinking population? That might explain the cheap property.
