Choosing between a 1 euro home and a low-cost property in Italy is an exciting yet challenging decision. 1 euro homes grab attention with their low price, but they come with a lot of bureaucracy and require significant renovations. Low-cost properties, while pricier upfront, usually offer a smoother buying process and might need fewer repairs. Each choice has its perks, whether you’re up for a renovation adventure or prefer a move-in-ready home. Weighing these differences will help you find the best fit for your budget and lifestyle. In this episode of the Italian Real Estate Podcast, hosted by Italian attorney Marco Permunian and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, we explore the pros and cons of these fascinating options.
