Can we talk about Sweden for a bit?
Discussion
Thank you very much.
I will be speaking to a few agents about it all, I am just really interested in getting some basic knowledge so I don't sound like a complete Muppet when I make contact. We're quite serious about this, last year was the first for 5 that we didn't go to Finland and we really missed it. When you can buy a nice little place on the S/F Boarder for less than the price of a Golf R

Would either of you guys be able to point me in the right direction of a half decent guide to the trips and traps for dirty foreigners like me buying in Finland?
We have been thinking about buying somewhere in Finland for a few years now but things have taken a more serious twist in the last couple of weeks and i can see that I am going to have to get up to speed swiftly.
Intention is to go there for a couple of weeks a year and rent out for as much as we can for the rest of the year (not to make money, or even really with concern to pay for the asset, just to try to make it cost neutral (other an opportunity cost of having capital tied up!)
As far as I'm aware there isn't a lot of red tape for foreigners to buy property. The guides at: http://www.expat-finland.com/housing/buying_proper... will get you up to speed. Your best bet would probably be to get in touch with an estate agent though.

In the mean time look at http://www.etuovi.com/?locale=en and http://www.tori.fi/ (use Google Translate) to look at property.

Not really anything to add to that, except that Southern and Eastern parts are, or at least before the economic sanctions kicked in, used to be, quite expensive due to Russian buyers. North and West are rather free from Russian influx though, and as a Finn myself, I personally would much rather have a Englishman as my neighbour than a Russian.
I'd rather have Ed Gein as a neighbour than a Russian family, frankly. QuantumTokoloshi said:
The BBC this morning, take the view that the whole of Sweden is behind taking in an unlimited number of migrants and refugees. I wonder what the view here is?
To be fair to the BBC, they did raise the issue of the increasing support for the far right at 20% and that some southern Swedish towns had talked about segregation...loafer123 said:

Ah, that would be a reference to the national media propaganda campaign of the last week. It was sparked by the picture of the 3 year old boy. Apparently the Swedes overnight abandoned all their worries and opened their eyes to the evils of the world. 100 celebrities say so. In the mean time the Sweden Democrats are continuing their meteoric rise and people are getting increasingly f
ked off at being told what to feel, think and say. In the words of the national press ombudsman, 'free speech was given to us by politicians, if not treated right they can take it away'. QuantumTokoloshi said:

Well there's a surprise. It's a fairly standard line for the BBC that every other country is much more tolerant and open and nice, and only some horrible old racist Brits and the EDL are concerned about large scale illegal immigration. I just don't bother with the BBC.
There is an apartment / hostel type building above our Systembolaget and they are going to be using it to house refugees apparently. Apparently the first lot have started to move in and I have seen windows open that haven't been before in the building. This weekend when I was buying food, for the first time outside of a private setting, I actually heard people moaning about it. The conversation was along the lines of our kommun not having enough money to provide nursing education for late teens/early 20's but enough money to house, cloth and feed these immigrants. That didn't stop one of them putting money in the beggars coffee cup on the way out though.

It seems the 'Angry Dago' has gone a bit mad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KSJY0c8QWw
For all its cringe worthiness it's still well-worth watching. He has a way with words.

Indeed, his analysis is spot-on. He's not really wrong though.
Extra points for posing seductively in the woods.
As I've said before, all this nonsense is coming from the UN and designed to impose their one world government visions - it's stated policy, but no one ever discusses this massive undemocratic imposition.
The current migrant crisis is exactly what the UN wants to breakdown national identity.
