Here's just some of the sites I've been looking at. With about €45-€50k you can buy an apartment in many places in Europe like in the South of France in places like Carcassone, Perpignan, Beziers, etc. There are apartments that cost between €25k-€30k on the Costa del Sol in Spain or in Calabria in the south of Italy both those regions are near the beach. There's apartments all over Germany with a budget of €45-€50k. Definitely can buy one in Rome or in Naples. Paris is more expensive. I am in a suburb and my appartment was €127k 34 square meters but in a really nice area with nice upper class homes and a lake nearby. My old appartment in Paris was €90k and 8 square meters (chambre de service/servants quarters). But we upgraded and moved to the suburbs. Here's a site I go to with a quick search within my budget in some cities in the south of France.

I am currently in Paris right now. When I go back for good to the US I plan on having this appartment rented out. We'll definitely get a management company to look after the property if I'm going to be back in the US. But those are just examples of properties to be had in Europe.
