My name is Giorgio Loukas and the aim of my channel is help you to save and invest in the best way possible so that you can attain your financial goals. I will be looking at various vehicles including but not limited to shares, Unit and Investment Trusts deposits and real estate in both the UK and Overseas.
Malaga and its surrounding area suffers high prices because it is probably the most desirable area to buy in Spain. Alicante is also great, cannot disagree, but it is obviously not the Costa Del Sol.
"""Red tape"" is the killer if you are buying to invest in Italy... If you are non-resident, you are not there to deal yourself with the intricacies and the labyrinthine unending bureaucracy how can you possibly manage your investment? You would need to employ agents, lawyers, accountants, etc which then can likely originate their own problems if you fall in dispute with them about anything. Only buy if you are going to live there permanently and you feel you can cope with the challenge.
Do you know how much taxes are in Sardinia? I live off of my disability rent. I’m also trying to figure out how immigration is in Sardinia as a Swiss and US citizen. I would love to by a small house with sea views and have a budget of 350k EUR max. Idk if I can buy a small house with that?
TBH, the type of people who buy property on Ibiza aren't concerned about the cost/sq. mt. or the potential return. They buy for the lifestyle. You mentioned Valencia as a viable investment alternative. What do you think about Gandia as an investment opportunity? It's a bit smaller than Valencia, close to Valencia, and I would imagine cheaper per sq. meter than Valencia.
I ❤️ El Paraiso Verde in Paraguay! I live there with my family and with so many friends. 🌴❤️ It is wonderful!!! ☀️❤️ The problems that were caused solely by the former president of Reljuv, Mr. Juan Buker, and some of his associates in El Paraiso Verde, have now been solved to a very large extent under the new president of Reljuv, Dr. Erwin Annau, in the few months since he assumed the presidency of Reljuv. A few agitators are being paid by competitors of El Paraiso Verde to discredit the new president of Reljuv, Dr. Erwin Annau (and other settlers) in social media, and these agitators are even falsely spreading his co-responsibility for the damages of the past during the term of office of Mr. Juan Buker, the previous president of Reljuv. They also repeatedly make connections with Scientology, although Dr. Erwin Annau has completely distanced himself from this sect. The settlers of El Paraiso Verde, however, and also the wonderful people who are new to us, know the evidence and see the progress in El Paraiso Verde every day. They know the truth. They thank Dr. Erwin Annau for his clear vision in his decisions and for the realization of his vision, which is so wonderful for everyone. Dr. Erwin Annau was the founder of this ingenious project. He has now taken it into his own administrative hands. ❤️
This is Ibiza, along with Marbella are pretty much the rich playground. It is not for ordinary people, and for sure and expect prices to go even higher. I'm looking all over the southern coast of Spain and it has all gone up. Here is my thoughts about all of this, if you missed buying better 2008 to 2020 then you need to consider less popular options but have way more potential such as Almeria, Cadiz, south of Alicante like Torrevieja still some opportunities there, and very few other spots.
€10k/sq. meter?!? I think I would rather take my money to more upscale markets with better city services, transportation and lower overall cost of living. Never a good sign when the locals can't afford to live there. Thanks, Giorgio!
@@saveandinvestwithgiorgiolo8375 Thanks. I am looking into Puglia and Abruzzo. Abruzzo is so much cheaper but has high earthquake risk. I am not sure how safe these houses are so I have to investigate.
@@saveandinvestwithgiorgiolo8375batumi is lovely despite the rain, not sure what's going to happen when the thousands of Russians leave and I think that's inevitable for many sometime in the future, but yes a very pleasant place
Misguided understanding and informatin, as with all his videos. Should pay more attention to impact of climate change, air pollution, and quality of life, whereas he is just focused on money. Sad way to think, and also sad to see this guy erases any comments that he doesn't like. Sign of insecurity and unwillingness to hear contrary views to his own.
I just have to applaud your content man, well done. at least from $15k to $70k plus profit weekly and it was incredibly insightful, Can't stress enough how helpful experts in this field are!
The decline in my crypto portfolio recently has been very disheartening. Holding it doesn't really do much good. Do you have any ideas on how you can earn better in the short or long term?
It's important to have a well-thought-out strategy and not make impulsive moves based on short-term market fluctuations. Patience and a long-term perspective are key. You should consider a market expert to guide you.
To obtain financial freedom, one must either be a business owner, an investor or both, generating passive income, particularly on a weekly and monthly basis .that's the key to living a financially stable life. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life...
The truth is, with this recent economy everyone needs more than their salary to be financially stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly because money left for savings always ends up used with no returns...
Wow, its crazy to see how quick the prices have risen. They are now even more expensive than in Romania! Does this mean that now Romania is the best place to invest? Given that average property prices in Romania are still around 1600€/sqm, and the yields are higher due to higher average salaries in Romania. Would love to get your opinion on this. Great video!
Take it from a native and local of Bucharest - the average prices of 1600 euro/m2 for Romania that are shown on websites like Numbeo and the likes have nothing to do with the local reality. The real average price in Bucharest is more likely around 2000+ euro/m2 for old and undesirable apartaments in average and uninspiring (for locals at least) areas of the city. If you're looking at better rated areas and old apartments, you're talking more like 3000 euro/m2 and the same if you're talking about new apartments in average areas (btw, average areas in Bucharest suck more than average areas do in cities like Madrid or Berlin for example). And finally, if you want the best of both worlds - new apartaments in desireable areas of the city (north especially) , you can start your calculations with something around 4000-4500 euro/ m2 (no joke). Another thing to keep in mind is that unlike in other countries in Western Europe for example, locals are very particular about their preferences when the buy or rent and apartament in Bucharest (or Romania in general). ONLY NEW APARTMENTS (after 2010 or ideally after 2020) are considered desireable by locals, also with parking included. Also, only a few particular areas and pockets of the city also - particularily some of the north (close to the offices of the multinational companies) and if not, absolutely necessary to not be more than 5 minutes walk away from a subway station. Not fulfiling the new and area requirements will cause you to find a tenenant much slower and for a considerably lower rent, also the tenant will move out quite fast whenever an opportunity if found somewhere else where these conditions are met.
@@WFH910 Not entirely true, in the Northwest area of the city, neighbourhoods like Militarii for example you can buy for well under 1400€ per sqm. making the yields very good, closer to 9%. 2-3k€ per sqm only applies to sectors 1 and 2, but that is the expensive area of the city, and you never make any money investing in the nice part of town anyway. The money is always in the up and coming neighbourhoods, where growth is yet to happen. Also neighbourhoods like Militarii are good and safe, not as pretty as Sector 1 but they are not as ugly as the south of the city, so you are not investing in a bad area at all.
Thanks for this, I was in Milan and lake Como last week and saw George Clooneys house. Beautiful place. I am thinking of looking to buy on the Amalfi Coast for short term rental investments. What’s your thoughts on this? Thanks
Thank you for your feedback. I personally think the Analfi Coast is far too expensive (in many parts 7000-1000 Euros per sqm and from mid October to April there are not going to be many tourists wanting to rent your property. T
@@saveandinvestwithgiorgiolo8375 thanks for the reply 😊 yes you are right - I realise this would be very seasonal, but I was hoping that the rental income from the peak summer months, would still make it viable.
Hi Daniel if you look in my video library there are many videos on buying sea view property in Italy for very affordable prices e.g. Scalea in Calabria, Sicily etc.
@saveandinvestwithgiorgiolo8375 Its not particularly cheap, there are hordes of tourists at any attraction, attitudes of Greeks are different than elsewhere, petty crime is rampant, beggars are aggressive, trash is strewn about, traffic is heavy, always and the beaches aren't clean and high priced chairs/umbrella rentals are present on beaches that are supposed to free. Transit is great if they arent on strike. Violent protests are ordinary and often spontaneous. I would not recommend Athens to anyone. I'm from Glyfada as is my entire family and cost of living is pushing out locals. Theft and home robberies are such that many Greeks won't rent ground or first floor apartments because of easy access for criminals. Have you spent any significant time in Athens recently?
The financial variables matter to only the few who have money. Most of the French have nothing. They are poor and purchase by using a mortgage. They live, work and die. That's it.
I agree with many of the cities, but how on earth did you come up with Scalea? Because of another YT'er? It's an awful little coastal city. There's nothing in winter, if you're not keen on a beach, there's never anything. I've travelled the coastline so many times and I'm driving past the whole are as fast as I can. Yes, you can rent the apartment out, but I'd never visit it.
Good evening, your video is very interesting, I was wondering if it was possible to speak with you privately for some questions I would like to ask you. Thank you.
Not a good video. First a few detail criticisms. He has ignored the more popular cities because costs exceed his arbitrary 2k/m2 limit (often the best property investments will be in high cost, high demand places) He has lumped Zaragoza and Tarragona into the "north" grouping, where as climate and cultural considerations would put Tarragona into easten spain (where it would join Valencia and Barcelona, Mediterranean coastal cities, with their 2 seasons, and sea-side resorts) and Zaragoza into the central zone (hot summers, cool winters, industrial). The "north" of spain is characterised by 4 seasons, with cool summers and lots of rain year round. In the north people keep cows, everywhere is green and butter/cream feature strongly in the cooking. He has mixed up film of Astorga's cathedral into the section on Leon. But worst of all, his criteria for a city being "good" seems to rest on the presence of old churches! OK, he does address connectivity, which is important, but he should have also considered healthcare, crime, the state of the local economy, demand for property, nature of public transport, and amount of northern European retirees. For anyone considering living in northern Spain (and you should, given the area's strong economy, high quality of living, kind climate and great food), I would suggest you look at: 5. Oviedo 4. A Coruña 3. Santander 2. San Sebastian 1. Bilbao
Thank you for this. As one that is looking at buying at. Galicia later this year. After falling in love with Galicia a month ago. This is a very useful guide to me. Personally. I think there's a good reason why. Ferrol represents good value because it's a shithole. Personally, I loved Vigo. And a coruña. And think despite the higher price per square metre, these both will be representing good value as an investment in the future. After coming from Porto and visiting Vigo, I was shocked. And how lovely Vigo was. And how underFrequented that it was by tourists. I thought Porto was highly overrated comparatively. Based on your recommendation, I'll be happy to check out Pontevedre next time I return.
Can you do an analysis of Sweden next video? The housing prices have actually declined the last two years, maybe something to take a look at? All the best:)
Living permanently in Greece and especially at islands is T O U G H the rest are touristy bates.... In the winter time is extra tough especially when you need doctors etc. In Greece you need A LOT OF MONEY to live properly since unfortunately almost everywhere is quite expensive concerning the basic needs , bills etc.
What about the Dordogne's ex-pat community of folks from English-speaking countries? I'm interested in making lots of new Anglophone friends for the next chapter of my life. But I also want to be in a town with good medical options. I'm getting old!
Tomas Bellano will probably get you the most rental however do not forget that you are only going to be able to rent for part of the year. Winters are cold. As far as I am concerned this is more of a lifestyle purcahse for own use.
Wow, 15% increase on square meter value within a year!?! Still affordable values now, but in two years when I retire, some of these markets might be beyond what I'd call good value for your money. Thanks, Giorgio!
I watch the ytuber "Dreaming of a Château " . The girl bought a very very large home in Lake como area I belive Bilano? The town with large train station. This large home is more like a mansion that needed everything, plumbing, electricity and alot of foundation restabilization . Not sure how much she paid for it , but she is young in her 20s . But I know she didnt pay more than 150k-200k . But the home needs complete rehab. It looks great now she and her bf have done all the work themselves. The bf knows how to build. She got an amazing deal but I wouldn't want to have to do all that rehab on a property
Hello Giorgio. You said Moldova didn't make your list because of the war. But the war is with Ukraine, namely eastern Ukraine. May I ask why you included Romania in your top 10 but not Moldova? Many thanks indeed.
In a word Transnistria. Transnastria is part of Moldova but it is ethnically Russian and actually has its own currency/currency/parliament etc. Moldova is also not part of NATO so there is some danger that Russia could invade in the future.
