25k Portugal Quinta - How we got here from there and what did it cost? 

Fantastic info on yourselves and makes viewers want to get to know you more

The first videos were not terrible at all--they're what got me hooked on your channel. You two are just so natural and conversational and FUNNY. Please never change, I'm thoroughly enjoying your journey!

I can’t remember how many windows I climbed through last fall in central Portugal, or houses that we just went and looked at the outside of, we chose not to have an agent spend countless hours showing us houses that we almost certainly were not going to buy. Once we narrowed it down to a few then we had the agent show us the houses that we were seriously considering. We never could seriously consider any house with out seeing a spectrum of houses in various conditions. We knew that we wanted something move in ready or close to it but wanted some projects to occupy our time. After a few weeks of investigation we found two houses (separate urban articles) that were attached to each other, one move in ready the second in need of restoration, each about 110sq meters. We closed on the home in March and spent two months there buying a car and fixing a few items that needed attention (nothing serious) and have returned to the US for a visit and to let some time pass so we will be eligible for a 90day stay starting the first of August! We will almost certainly apply for visas this coming winter while we settle our affairs here in the US and then will become full time residents. This is an exciting time in our lives and it was time for what we call our next adventure, something we seem to undertake every 10-15 years although this may be our last since we are both in our 60’s and these changes take a lot of effort. Hope all is going as planned for you both. Thanks for the heartfelt video.

You two are so sweet...this is one of the best youtube videos ive watched about people moving to Portugal

It lovely to watch two people that are down to earth and say how it is hope you do allot more vids looking forward to se the work your doing on your home

Your story is beautiful. I am sure that many couples can relate to it. All the best of luck on your exciting adventure!

Only just started watching your Bloggs, love your attitude hope life carries on treating you well. Portugal is a fantastic place to live the only people who don't seem to understand this are the Portuguese , s bit sad really.

It’s interesting to see that some people have been able to gain from the council selling off the housing stock. But the out come of this over the years and still continues to day is that this is one of the reasons other people are homeless as there are only private renters available at a large cost which people on an ordinary wage. Even a couple cannot afford. Sorry to be so negative this is the case. Good luck with your new life. You have obviously worked for it but you have also had some good luck. Keep free. Keep safe from Lynda

I'm glad to have found you two. You seem to be great people and great neighbors. My husband and I are looking at relocating from the US to Portugal soon on a D7 visa. Your video's are a great source of information and I really need info. I am retired and still very handy at most building tasks as I've built or remodeled homes for years. I am 63 and can still gut a room and remodel it. BTW, your tile work looks awesome, it's not your first time. LOL I subscribed and look forward to watching your upcoming video's.

Good luck on your journey folks, thank you for your update.

I'm very happy you've chosen Portugal. I hope you will feel very well here and enjoy yourselves. I wish you tons of good health and happiness.
