> that is nearly impossible just about anywhere else in the world

I don't know about "anywhere else in the world" but I can guarantee you that you can buy a property everywhere in EU with a 20%. Also, property taxes in EU are generally lower than US.

I keep saying that americans, pay lots of taxes, they are simply not aware of it.

Yeah it’s true. Property taxes are so low in the UK. With “free” healthcare and almost no property tax, it’s easy to retire young. But it’s harder to make retirement money.

By “less”, you can easily buy a house with 3.5% (FHA). The requirements aren’t that strict.
