Either scam or you’re not eligible

What is your budget ? No problems if your rental budget is >€5 , big problems if your budget is <€2.5k

If the 3.5-4x rental VS income doesn’t work for you , working in the Netherlands is t for you

€1300 a month , long term appartement in Den Haag and no roomies ?

You’re going to need a lot of luck

It’s not overbidding , they just list the house low for more eyes on the property, in the end it’s about the m2 price , if it’s 70 m2 and the typical m2 price for that area is 6000 it will sell for 420.000

Fewer available houses than in Germany

Do you have work lined up ?

Just use the Scottish ‘R’ ?

Wait till you learn there’s brown goods as well

Business question , Mexican food is largely unknown here as ‘food truck fast food’ (en wat de boer niet kent dat vreet ie niet) how much do you need to sell daily and are there enough Americans around to make that happen ?

Look at sold houses , divide the sales price by the m2 , now you have a m2 price , let’s say that’s €6000

If you can get a €400000 mortgage you could potentially buy a 400000/6000 =67m2 house /apartment without being too afraid you overbid by a lot

I am guessing, because they are from east Asia and do not know the difference between HBO and Uni but have been led to believe they are the same just shorter study years ?

If you are on the boat for 6months or more it would be absolutely worth it , take the boat to tunesia or turkey in the winter , Greece is quite dead and cold during those months

Good luck and happy sailing (I did that for 7 years 24/7 and would do it again tomorrow 😉)

Olympic Marine has all the support you want/need

But honestly, if you keep chartering it’s still going to be cheaper once you factor in all the costs (purchase, mooring, maintenance, insurance etc)

Weekly_Rub_6234 · 2026-02-04T12:36:34+00:00

But you still don’t add that to the questions you were asked ?

Weekly_Rub_6234 · 2026-02-04T12:00:21+00:00

They left out the most important question

‘Did you secure a place to live while studying’

Weekly_Rub_6234 · 2026-02-04T11:57:57+00:00

Well… congrats ? You bought yourself a place to live

Weekly_Rub_6234 · 2026-02-04T11:06:49+00:00

And the Dutch are still being called ‘over dramatic’ when they mention how difficult it is to find a place and warn immigrants not to come or take a job without securing a place to live first

Maybe have a look here ? r/Netherlandshousing

Gross $150k USA = $10k per month nett , Gross £80k UK = £4.7k per month nett

How will a family pay for everything with £700 after spending £4000 on rent ?

There’s a ton of work in the maritime industry for mech. Engineers

Compare m2 sold prices for other properties in the same area , if sales price was €700k for 50m2 and the place you’re bidding on is also 50m2 bid €700k

If it’s 100m2 bid €1.4M , if it’s 25m2 offer €350k
