<prompt> Human: Property seems to my young 23 year old brain like the best Investment into the future. Buy a houseapartment in my hometown, rent it out for the years I will not be there, let my mom handle the complains and then have a nice home to live when I want to settle down. But how do I do that correctly? And how could I do that with multiple properties to ensure a secure retirement?Note: European standards apply  <response>: Sorry I cant help you with Europe.. in the USA this would be bad idea trusting family to manage the property until you are ready to take possession. The number of issues which can go wrong, unless that family member is a professional real estate manager or fiduciary, is boundless. In the USA there are property managers which you can employ to manage property, and I am sure they exist in Europe too; Google property managers for appropriate country. When you are getting started in property ownership understand that you will be sinking a sizable all for most of your earned income or trust fund, or whatever is paying for this into a single investment which will not directly assist you in gaining education, or achieving relative financial security. The cost of the property will be so high that its income will be used up to pay for it, and you will likely owe more in payments unless you can buy it outright very rare. Most people have more immediate needs, and must plan for them. Best of Luck.
