I'm thinking of buying a flat in Amsterdam or rather taking a mortgage out more specifically. Mortgage rates are pretty good and if I choose to I will have to invest little of my own money.

Pros:

• It's in a bustling major city
  The market seems to have bottomed and is in a small upswing
  Easy for me to get a good size mortgage
  Rates are very low
  Some tax benefits to owning
  Beats renting
  Can always rent it out fairly easily if I end up having to leave Amsterdam
