Plan all big improvements to your house, when the construction sector would have a hard time finding a job. Any expensive improvement like roof, road, fence should be much cheaper.

I consider the Eastern Europe having unique opportunity these days, as the Ukrainian market has extremely good potential to grow in many areas. If it goes EU+NATO direction after the war, it may boost the whole region and follow the direction set by other countries two decades ago. Just the property market alone rose manyfold in those countries after the EU access.

I am in a similar position to you, living in EE country as well. We may exchange some contact and share some more info if you are interested.
