Moving to Lebanon: Safety, Property & Life Advice
Summary

The discussion explores current safety, adjusting to life with limited experience in the country, and reconnecting with Lebanese roots.
Living in Lebanon
Hello all,
30M, born and raised in Canada (Toronto) to parents who immigrated from Lebanon in the 80s.
I have a Lebanese citizenship and obviously a Canadian citizenship. I have only ever been to Lebanon once (when i was 10). I do speak fluent Lebanese Arabic, however.
My family has some properties in Lebanon and I am being proposed the opportunity to go to Lebanon for a long time (maybe a year or longer), to deal with these properties, fix them, rent them out and ideally make money off them.
Should I go to Lebanon to do this ? Is it safe right now? For myself, with very little authentic Lebanese experience, could I make this work out? Could I imagine living in Lebanon long term and calling it home?
I have always wanted to be more connected to my roots.
Thank you for your advice and shares!
