What is your budget for your next investment in Portugal?

 Dear friends,

You might have heard many rumors about a real estate "bubble" in Portugal and I say, it is all a matter of little supply and huge demand that drive prices up, both for sales and rents. Simple.

However- you still can find apartments starting at 150K euro in Lisbon and surroundings, with a relative high rent.

For example:

                                            Studio converted into a 1bedroom in Arroios

                                            Asking price: 149,500 euro ( negotiable)

                                            Estimated rent: 700-725 p/m

                                                            Cash purchase only!

OR

                                       Beautifully remodeled one bedroom in Lisbon

                                       close to hospital and university

                                        Asking price: 262K euro (negotiable)

                                        Rent: 1100 p/m

                                          For cash purchase or with loan pre-approval.

https://www.remax.pt/imoveis/venda-apartamento-t1-lisboa-lisboa/121511424-61/yrc-wxedIBit0ykQwE_7n_lv3cAeJDVK

 Or                                    

                                           4 unit building close to the Parliament, 

                                            very central location in Lisbon

                                            3 apartments and a store, all rented   

                                            Asking price: 649,000 (negotiable, motivated seller)

                                            Up to 7% ROI + appreciation

https://www.remax.pt/imoveis/venda-predio-t0-lisboa-misericordia/123751037-163

Or:

                                       Hostel 5 bedrooms in Ericeira, surf capital of Portugal

                                       30 min north of Lisbon, with option to grow the revenue.

                                             

                                   Value: 850,000-900,000 euro max, including updates

                                    Potential annual rent: 108,000 euro minimum

                                           Which makes it 12% ROI!

As cute as a button!

 Fell in love with this bright, little gem even before seeing it.....

                                                  Quiet tree lined street in Alcantara, Lisbon 

Very desired neighborhood, street close to shops and cafes, 15 minutes to the center of Lisbon and walking distance to the river and marina restaurants.                                  

               Living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and balcony- all beautifully remodeled!

                                           Bought by investors at: 197,500 euros

Why I invest in Portugal now???

 

Hello friends,

I haven't been blogging here since 2019 as I decided to stop investing in the US for now. Still enjoying the properties I own in AZ but time to move somewhere else. 

And then...  sunny, colorful, fun, Portugal showed up!

Why Portugal then.....?

1. With its mild weather and beautiful beaches, Portugal has become a magnet for European tourists, young nomad professionals and retirees from all over the world and the US!

2. Real estate is still reasonably priced and appreciation is expected to rise sharply in the next 3-5 years.

3. Expenses for investors ( property taxes, management, etc.) are relatively low, so he returns are higher than in most Western European countries.

4. Very convenient income tax scheme for foreigners: which country in the world offers special tax benefits to foreigners for the first 10 years of residence?

5. The Golden Visa for Portugal is still on, but about to be modified, so this is the time to invest if you would like to become a resident. 500k euro minimum investment will "buy" you Portuguese residency!

6. Last but not least: the art and culture in every corner, the delightful warm people, the delicious and very reasonably priced food, they are all creating an international hype that makes investing in real estate NOW, the right time!

Join me? Contact me for additional information friends, I am super-excited!

Where should your next investment be....?

Hello friend investor!

Are you ready for your next real estate investment?
Would like to hear what I am researching?

Coliving is the new trend for high-end investors!

The San Francisco Bay Area is leading this trend once again and there are tens of coliving spaces all the way from Northern to Southern CA. All this being driven by the need of young professionals to share living spaces because of high rents and the need to connect with others when in a new location.

These last weeks I have been researching suitable locations for starting a coliving project:

1. The San Francisco Bay Area:

Minimum purchase price for 5 bedrooms:                              $ 1,500,000
Estimated gross rental income for furnished unit (annual :    $   120,000
- Advantages: high demand, easy to rent out.
- Disadvantages: high taxes, low returns.

Target renters population: Hi tech young professionals.

2. Austin, TX:
Average purchase price for 5 bedrooms:                                  $ 1,000,000
Estimated gross rental income for furnished unit (annual):     $      60,000

Advantages: hip town, high young incoming migration*
Disadvantages: high property taxes (3%!).

Target renters population: Millennials

3. Phoenix, AZ:
Average purchase price for 5 bedrooms:                                  $  500,000
Estimated gross rental income for furnished unit (annual):     $    48,000         

Advantages:
Fastest growing city in the US!**
Low taxes
Disadavantages: It's hot in the summer (but people still relocate).

Target renters population:
Young professionals, families, 50+ and retirees!

 Which one would YOU prefer? Why? 

Would you be interested in investing in a coliving project with myself managing all of it?

Please feel free to add you comment here or just send me your input to:

The future of investments is in co living!

Hello friends/followers,

For those who don't know me well, I started my real estate business in the US in 2008 (good timing) and shortly after, in The Netherlands as well. Saw the opportunity of renting by Airbnb and have been doing it ever since.

Now- everybody is in the Airbnb market and restrictions might be coming up everywhere so it's time to move to the next trend- Co Living! The big companies already got it so now it's time for us, smart investors, do the same.
See more:  https://www.businessinsider.nl/what-is-co-living-2017-2/?international=true&r=US

Why is co living the next trend?
- It appeals to all ages: live with age peers and socialize,
- It is affordable,
- Smaller is better (present trend)
- There is lots of demand!

     

See this article for another glimpse:
https://www.bisnow.com/new-york/news/hotel/british-co-living-company-launching-first-us-location-in-long-island-city-98067#.XJk6pOqTk8U.mailto 

 Interested to be a co-investor in our upcoming project in Phoenix, Austin or the San Francisco Bay Area?
Which one of those would you prefer to invest in?

 Minimum investment: $200,000

Meet THE new investment trend- CO Living!

Dear friends,

As my business partner and me progress in our  "remodel-and- short-term- rental" project,
 I am already fired up by my  next "passion project"!

You might want to research this a bit more as the trend is getting stronger and stronger in Europe and the US*  so this is the exact right time for open minded, innovative investors to join in:

  It is called co living!

Co living is the renting of separate living units by residents ( bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette) and sharing of common spaces (kitchen, living room, dining room, recreation room), thus creating a supportive social environment, potential work collaboration and shared resources.

Why is co living a developing trend in Berlin, Copenhagen, London, Washington DC, San Francisco and Shanghai?

1. Low supply and high prices for rentals in cities for young professionals,

2. Low supply of affordable properties for purchase for young singles or couples.

3. Need for more social connection in the "age of isolation" for all ages,

4. "Traveling nomads" who choose to work and travel the world flock to these properties that allow to meet new friends and get acquainted with the new surroundings easily.

Ikea already got it***- do YOU?

If investing in co-living properties sounds fascinating to you too, contact me and I'll send you our PIQ (Potential Investors Questionnaire)

12% ROI at least - need ONE partner to join me!

Dear friends,

I need ONE partner to share this with me because I am going into this deal myself. Haven't seen any as good as this one for a looong time.

The house is off the market right now but as soon as the current tenant vacates it will go online and by then there will be biddings on it, so I need somebody who is ready to move fast on this deal with me. I prefer an experienced investor who can see the potential in it.

This is a two floor house that needs work and the remodel will convert it in two modern apartments.
There is a HUGE demand for short term rentals in The Hague and this house is in a quiet neighborhood bordering with a new "up and becoming" location converting from industrial into residential for young professionals. Upscale cafes and restaurants are opening at the Binckhorst, less than a mile away from the house. Which means- appreciation will follow.

Why this opportunity just got a lot better??? Let's grab it!

Hello friends,

Do you know why smaller RE spaces are better as investments?

1. This is the trend all over the world. Millennials are minimalists and prefer to buy/ rent smaller      units. (See " Tiny homes movement" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_house_movement).

2. Baby boomers are downsizing and moving to smaller units as well.

3. Singles of all ages look for smaller, reasonable priced properties.

4. Supply of smaller units is still scarce so demand is higher,

Millions of people are looking to rent/buy small and those units are extremely popular!

Do you have 95,000 sitting in the bank and doing nothing for you....?

Hello friends,

Attention! This is the last unit I will be managing in this highly popular building where I live!

I just bought my third investment in this same building and even before closing and remodeling it is already rented for 2018!
So the concept is proven and  the price is pretty amazing for a fully remodeled unit!

I offer any of those two investment options-

1. Buy, hold and rent

OR

2. Peer-to Peer investment
Fund the investment and receive a 5.5% monthly interest- no ownership headaches and your investment is secured by the property.

Hello friends,

Investment? Vacation home? Both?

There is one lovely condo for sale in this wonderful building where I already own two units!

This is a 4th floor (with elevator) studio converted into a one bedroom, one bath, with a serene view to the forest in a green, lush neighborhood bordering with The Hague. Very popular as a rental!

Why invest in this area and building?

1. The Hague is an International hub, diplomats from all over the world work here and there's lots of demand for rentals from young professionals.

2. The building is located minutes from Shell headquarters and the International Patent Office that relocates employees to this neighborhood all the time (I have to refuse many times because I have no vacancies in my condos).

3. It's close to the Delft University and Leiden University and I have already had US Masters students coming for internships at those!

$. I'm moving to The Netherlands so I will be managing it for YOU!

For more pictures and detailed information, PLEASE contact me ASAP!

The condo is OFF the market right now and as soon as it is listed it will be gone....
