Katerina, I see you are interested in Italy and as me you are in Texas..I am in houston…area…buona giornata

@@olgasampis9745fun! I’m west of Katy but can’t wait to be living in Italy. 🇮🇹 ❤

@@KaterinaFerrara good for you.. I am NW…I have been around there…Steven f Austin, the city of Refugio? Or similar

Yep, I agree it's very nice. And good price!

Ci sto lavorando! Grazie.

That would be a good contact to have there! I know some folks love or hate Puglia... I think it can be too remote for some. The rural areas can be very sparse. But the coastline looks amazing!

Yes, you must be a tax resident of Italy (full time). Also you can’t have lived in Italy the previous 5 yrs. And you have to show a passive income of at least €32K or €38K per year for the Elective Residency Visa.

​@@TraveltirementItalyThank you !

The under 20k population needs to be the city or municipality or whatever you call them? I'm just a beginner and trying to learn the ropes. Glad I discovered your channel. Would love to vacation and maybe move to the southern part, maybe even Sardinia. Thank you for all the help! ​@@TraveltirementItaly

Yes, that's right. The town or village must be under 20k as of Jan. 1 of the year you move there.

@@jojo-pq5lo You're welcome!

Thanks for joining the newsletter!

I'd like to know, too. The last time I visited native-born, Italian friends there, the mafia was still coming around collecting money from individual homeowners right there on the front porch.

I don't think it's an issue. I'm not saying it nevers happens. But I've never heard of it from any of my contacts in Italy. Just like I'm sure it happens in the U.S. still. Just so rare.

See my response to the other comment.

Thanks for watching!

You're welcome. I'm going to add the train stations in every video if possible.

Not yet. There are so many places to check out, but so little time!

If your country has a tax treaty with Italy, you’ll get a tax credit in one country for what you paid in the other country. So no double taxation, but you may owe some extra in one.

Just looked at it on Google maps. Looks terrific!

Thanks for watching.

Looks like it. The property listing is in the description below the video.

Yep I agree there 👍

Laura they should be below the video in the description.

My pleasure 😇

Thanks for watching!

You can stay for 90 days every 180 days in the Schengen zone (most of western Europe). Then you have to leave for 90 days. This is on a passport.

Check the property listing below the video. You’ll see all the details.

@@TraveltirementItaly , thank you!

I believe so: demitro.it/property/in-vendita-casa-singola-a-mesagne/

The first one definitely not since it's empty. The other two you'd have to ask the real estate agent if included. Or negotiate that in your offer. Thanks for watching!

I do plan to do more properties in Umbria. Thanks for the feedback.

I honestly don't know the answers to these. I'm guessing the agent on this property could answer all these questions. The property listing link is in the description. I don't have any relationship to the agent or owner. I hope you find what you're after!

Not yet. Heading to France in a week for touring and the Olympics. Hopefully we’ll make it to Italy soon!

Your income if you’re a tax resident. If you are not a resident, then you only pay tax if you earn money in Italy.

@traveltirement so if you buy a property but stay 3-4 mos( what is the window) you pay no taxes to Italy?.Just the usa. ? Is that the only tax Italy has? What if you need to go to the doctors??

@@browneyelady6726 Correct. If you stay less than 90 days every 180 days, you just need a passport (no visa) and would not be considered a tax resident of Italy. You pay a registry tax when buying property of either 9% (non-resident) or 2% (resident or will become one in 18 mo). Only other tax you could pay is if you rented out your Italian home. Then you'd pay just on that income. If you need to go to the doctor, you just go. It's cheap. You'd likely need an international health insurance plan also.

A few reasons many Italian properties are cheap: • Demographics - There's been massive migration of younger folks out of small towns and into cities (esp. the north), leaving a lack of demand for property. Demand down, prices down. • Size of house - In Italy, the average size of a house is small compared to the ridiculous McMansions in the US. • Age of house - Many of these cheaper homes are older, some from the 1800's and early 1900's. Many don't have central heating. But what they lack in modern tech they make up for with walkability, views, and rustic charm (imo). • Condition - Many cheap homes need some TLC. As you saw in the pictures they often need painting, updating of appliances, sometimes even structural fixes. • Cost of living - Italy has a much lower cost of living than the US. Less than half in many places. That translates to lower prices all around. And of course these aren't a "free lunch". They cost real money. Thanks for watching!

@@TraveltirementItaly What you say here is basically all true, but one thing I would add as info. just for yourself, is that as to the 'demand down as younger people move to cities', yes. However, the real problem that these homes aren't bought much by Italians is that Italians don't move around much at all. They stay in their own regions and towns as they identify themselves with their own regions and 'traditions'. So, even though any Italian could buy these places, they don't much, because they are so regionally enclaved. Very different from the U.S. and many other countries. So when the homes become vacant in these small towns, that's it. They sell at lower prices than they are actually worth, I believe, just to get them sold. This is unless they are in 'extremely desired locations', to other Italians that is. To me, these are desirable locations as they are really nice and I like this type of living, and prices, but not so much to other Italians. But ya they are great for many foreigners as an Italian getaway, or certainly even to live there.

@@marcocarlson1693 Thanks for adding your perspective. I hadn’t considered the cultural aspect.
