From Microsoft employee to finding €50K villas in Europe. In the summer of 2024, I decided to share every gem I discover and that's how @affordihome was born. Let me be crystal clear - I'm not a realtor. I'm a Property Finder, and there's a huge difference. While realtors…
This was the FIRST house ever built on what's now one of Costa Brava's most exclusive areas. Also often described as the Beverly Hills of the Costa Brava. This is Casa Les Punxes in Sant Feliu de Guíxols - and I just got EXCLUSIVE access direct from the owner🧵
and ofc I forgot to add the most beautiful picture of them all

Really happy to see that the community I started back in March is resonating with people and already providing value. We've got 3.6k members and my objective was to create a space for European property enthusiasts to share finds, buying advice, renovation stories, and living…
My favorite recent niche community is "European Home Hunters" on great foreign property listings, locations, and the main character is @TimurNegru - always engaging, answers questions, and you get to see the world through a fun lens.
Ok guys - how about this for a nice property and have you seen something like this before anywhere in the world? The history, the location, the cost+opportunity 🤩

Every Sunday we go to a local bar here in Spain for breakfast. Usually around 9/10am and as part of our meal they always serve 0.5l (p.p.) of house wine.
i've been in spain for 2 months and haven't seen one fat spanish person... yet they drink lots of wine, eat lots of bread, and stay out till midnight wtf is going on?
Yes fully support this initiative. Let's all get behind it, provide our feedback and hopefully our collective voice will be heard 🤞
Lovable: 100M ARR in 8 months, yet another Delaware 🇪🇺 success story: Delaware is the unofficial 28th EU Member State. If the upcoming EU Inc. legislation ends up diluted with lots of "buts" and maybes, we will keep seeing the @patrickc and @antonosika of the next decade…
Do I have someone in my following who has bought a property in Southern Italy? I know a few people who have bought there and all said that what they saw on the ground has put them off from buying. I also work with a few clients right now who want to buy there but would like to…
What about all the illegal emigration and refugees? People buying property are concerned about the long-term.
My son said that I work too much and that we should go for a swim. Those clouds though..
Real life example of buying properties in Italy, the timelines etc. This person bought them through a US LLC which is not advisable imo. Better to set up an Italian co or buy them as a private individual. In terms of timelines - give yourself between 3-5 months. Just in case.
A timeline. Bought 2 studio apartments in Arezzo. Offer in Aug. close Dec 11, 2024. Installed 2 kitchens, updated showers. All gov approvals for ST rental today (224 days from closing). Buying with USA LLC made it much more complex & expensive.
So you've been dreaming about owning an Airbnb or a boutique hotel in Europe (Spain, Italy + Portugal) but you are unsure about the country? Here is an analysis I did for one of my clients and as always sharing it with you all here too.
One of the best pieces of advice I would give any young person today is this: if you're not persistent, you won't succeed. Another way to put it: if you don't ask, you won't get. Many years ago, when I was just starting my career, I got a one-month summer contract at Microsoft.…
Someone explain to me why we are fighting for tiny city apartments when ALL THIS is available for €265k ($311k): - 263m² Spanish villa (2,832 sq ft) - 800 grapevines + winery - 300 avocado trees - 12,577m² of farmland (3.1 acres)
