You are a very good interviewer. I learned a ton. One thing I found interesting talking to a friend who sells real estate in France is the HOA fees and the taxes on apartments. If I understand correctly, they are not nearly as high as in the USA? Maybe you can do another podcast on how these fees work?

Thanks Jessica! Someone asked about those in the comments earlier and I put a link to how property taxes are calculated in France, and homeowners fees depend on the building, how much work it needs, if there is a guardienne, the utilities, etc. (In a city like NY, the HOAs are usually very expensive if it's a doorman building, but those are very rare in Paris...in fact, I don't think they even exist.) The taxes are much lower than in the U.S., depending on the U.S. city, but other taxes are quite high so I guess it evens out ; )

Thanks! I'll take a look at the link!
