If you have not yet found a country that suits you, make time to travel now to explore some options based on your criteria, residency, and work visa constraints (digital nomad visa vs non lucrative passive income, for example).
Depending on your means, there are many countries you can purchase outright for under $200k. Mortgages can usually be had with 40% down. Renting is almost always an option.
Line up housing (rent or own), income, and residency. Have a plan what you’ll sell, ship or store, travel plans to move, etc. Execute plan when your risk appetite is exceeded.
