Hello, I am 24 year old male working a day job as a SWE at a unicorn startup (~330k USD). I have around 300k in liquid capital that and I am looking to diversify my portfolio.

From my research, the US housing market is not nearly as hot as it once was. It is harder to turn a profit than it was a decade prior (especially since I am based in California).

This leads me to my question, how is the efficacy of investing in a foreign city, in my case, specifically Budapest. I have citizenship there and family/friends who can help manage the property., so I will not need a foreign investment license and can circumvent a lot of the overhead bureaucracy. In addition, I travel there yearly to visit family so I would be able to check up on it. Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated!
