cash is king once again. i would be slow to
swap that money for anything else, as things stand.

i would take 4% on deposit (less 25% dirt).
why buy property? you can rent a lovely home for €700-800pm.
(no interest fluctuations to haunt your life)

i would call to an unnamed escort's apartment and stay overnight,
up early, and off to the airport to see what Portugal is like.
