Amsterdam considered the most attractive city for buying real estate for subsequent rental. Do not be confused by the trend for studios. This segment is quite weakly represented in the country as a whole, so the limited number of offers affects the not quite accurate formation of statistics. Be that as it may, a dozen studios cannot harm the reputation of Amsterdam. It is worth going here for stability, reliability, and beautiful landscapes.
