| land in Russia/Iceland
Posted: 5/1/2008 9:34:14 AM | | Does anyone know how much land in Russia sells for? I'm not talking city land, I'm talking about a small plot of farming land in the eastern central part of the country. I am having thoughts on leaving america. I have also thought about Iceland. Any information would be helpful. | |

You'd probably have to be in a (fictitious?) marriage or something. Which is not too hard to arrange. | |

By the way Romanian woman are just wonderful. | |

Plus, it's an absolutely booming economy, so the coldwar/communist-style attitude will be gone in 5-10 years, which'll drive property values through the roof.
Italy I've looked at as well. Romania's dead easy to get visa's and such for, Italy not so much... But the land is way better, way more gorgeous and the language is slightly easier to learn.
Sounds like you're looking for a reasonable plot at a reasonable price. In my research, those are two of the best bets outside of Turkey and France (where you can still get castles with 100+ acres for <1.5MM). | |

Posted: 5/26/2008 6:45:11 AM | | I know that land is very expensive here in Iceland and the cost of living is also. Very dificult to get work permits unless you are from the EU. Foreigner may buy land, but again, must be from the EU | |

Posted: 5/28/2008 5:17:23 PM | You can't really grow food in Russia. Have you ever seen the ladies on the corner in small cities trying to sell fruit and vegetables from their dacha? They usually only have like a cup of berries for sale and that's it! Russia gets all their food from the Ukraine, which someone else on here suggested. That's probably better. Odessa is beautiful, kind of a tourist spot, and many foreigners buy and develop land near the beaches there. They do have a problem keeping the government running, but hey, that might be a good thing. I was there on vacation the summer Yevshenko fired everyone and it didn't really change anything.
Iceland is not generally known for farming. How are you at fishing?
Many people I know from Europe, mostly Irish after the 'celtic tiger', bought land in Hungary. The land there is quite fertile. I know a guy who spent 10 years in an artist colony there, and they mostly grew their own food.
Or go to Maine. Land is also cheap there. If things go bad in '09 you're very close to Canada  | |

The bigger problem for most North Americans is getting a visa and then a residence permit. I'm lucky enough to have an Irish Passport as well as my Canadian one. EU countries make it easy if you have an EU Passport. Check your heritage out. If oyu have a grandparent born in certain countries, you are eligable for a Passport. | |
