    The problem isn't buying a property in Italy, the prices are affordable. The issue is knowing that, for example, you can't do any internal or external renovation work without authorization from the municipality. If you want to move to Italy, and obviously it's only if you're retired because working in Italy is a nightmare, assuming you can find a job, the best choice is to rent. Trust me, I was born and raised in Italy and lived there until 10 years ago.

    Love your videos, Tommy! You always have fantastic properties and provide lots of really useful info. I think property #3 is incredible! I love the space and high, star-vaulted ceilings of this region. The floors are also beautiful. Because I have dogs, I want outdoor space, and many homes in this area have gardens/yards. Maybe, if there's enough space, have a pool?!? The budget for making the space a home would be the primary factor.

I appreciate this video and have a trip planned this year to Europe so I absolutely want to see some of these properties in person. Questions and concerns I have are: crime rates? Safety? Amazon deliveries (dependent on that for health care necessities), humidity? Friendliness toward americans? Thanks so much!

    I love the Tiled floors in number 3. Im an engineer by trade and ive renovated 6 properties previously so the project wouldnt worry me. The garden is a bonus and it would be good to see if there was a way to add off street parking. But alas the level of detail id want to go too would be in the 100k+ and youd never see a return on your investment. Or at little slim margins as youd have to add a pool for rental purposes.

    Very thorough descriptions. I like the potential of the villa with the intricate tile floors, vaulted ceilings and large patio/garden area. Those walls cry out for refinishing in a "venetian" plaster application. Trying to expose the natural stone vaults and walls could be opening a can of worms. It would be a major job.

    Thank you. With the last beach house. I would definitely add a spiral staircase from inside the house (wide stairs) up onto the rooftop where I’d build a master bedroom and bathroom leaving a patio over looking the ocean opening up one of the bedrooms near the main living room kitchen to make that area larger to have a big kitchen island. You can add additional housing to your property if you have a certain amount of land. Size of building Depending on size of land I’d build separate building two apartments same building side by side with roof top patio again with a bedroom on the rooftop walking out to the patio. One two bedroom daily/weekly rental the other one bedroom to lease yearly. Maybe both weekly depending on housing need in the town. In north America we don’t need more airb&Bs, one of the reasons we have a housing crisis. Boy did that backfire.

    You often compare the cost to houses in the US. It doesn't matter if a house is 50% of the cost in the US--- it's not in the US. You are in Italy, a wonderful but very different country. I am European and I know the difference.

    Nice and thanks for the overview! In my mind the last property is overpriced as it seems one pays 100k just for the view and another 50k for it being a separate property and another 50k for the proximity to the beach. If you don't need all of that then one better buys further away from the beach. But for a person who really wants a beachside property it could be a nice option.

    I’ve asked all of the other retire in Italy channels, so I’ll ask here too. I have heard that Italy’s retirement visa is difficult to get and then has to be renewed each year. So, you could buy a house for year round living and your visa doesn’t get renewed. I can’t afford a vacation house only.

  • @traveltirement

    Great question. First, I don't think it's hard to get the Elective Residency Visa, per se. As in the requirements are not onerous. But I have heard that the PROCESS can be difficult and time-consuming. Depending on the consulate in the US, I've heard from folks who have a completed application, easily meet the income requirements, have a Codice Fiscale, etc., but cannot get an appointment set. Or the consulate will not call them back after repeated messages. Italy is famous for its bureaucracy, and you can't escape that even in the U.S.! Once you have the visa, as long as you still meet the requirements, I don't think it's hard to renew in Italy.

It comes across as if it is not only low in price but of poor quality. For this reason I have no interest. After all a property is an investment doesn’t matter how low you pay.
