Well, well, well. Quite a find this! You can move right in and work on the property at your leisure. For a newly retired person who is good at DIY, this is bargain territory. Way to go, Brad. 👍

[@SolePilatesNYLocustValleyNY]

Priced accordingly. No steal

[@BradsWorld]

I personally thought it was an above average deal. I think people are loaded into the idea that everything here cost a euro. This is a nice solid house with a garage and in need of relatively minimal updating. It also has land and fuse. For €75,000. I guess it’s all relative as far as what you think is a steal. So cr🤷🏼‍♂️

[@shirleyharvard4892]

The views are amazing, the house is a bonus! I love a place where I can add my own spin to it! Definitely worth it !!

[@BradsWorld]

Thought it was a winner too!

[@stevenbrady440]

Just bought your book Brad. Can’t wait to read it. Some of these towns are in earthquake zones. Could you point out what, if anything, they have done to prepare for possible earthquakes? I assume some have been remediated potentially. How does that work? What is the cost for that if it needed to be done? Ballpark. Also, Italian homes seem to be really overbuilt compared to America. Stronger and much thicker walls. Even the roofs look much stronger. Whether the homes are really old or new. Am I missing anything? Also, my understanding is that Italians really don’t get homeowners insurance. Maybe for this reason. Many of these houses are essentially fire proof or highly fire resistant.

[@BradsWorld]

Insurance for homes is cheap. Like €500/yr for a nice house (say €700K)

[@bestgirl1956]

I adore the bathroom 💚💚💚

[@SingYourselfWell]

Thank you for letting us now the directions, Brad!!! Great!!! Love this one...

[@karenzernicek-morton2256]

Hello …. My husband and I are currently in Rome for the next 5 weeks …. We are looking for a home to retire too….. we are from Texas

[@BradsWorld]

Have a great time!

[@johnscott9855]

Brad - I got the book just over a week ago and brought it with me on my vacation (holiday), and I have already finished it and it is now full of highlights and other notes I took while reading it. Well done! Great learnings!

[@BradsWorld]

Thanks I am very glad to hear that. Don't forget to leave a review on Amazon.

[@johnscott9855]

@ Will do!

[@missulu]

Love this place, tons of opportunity! I would increase the size of the terrace and make room for some outdoor furniture, need the space for drinking coffee and staring at the mountains! This won't last long! Thanks for the video Brad... and Claudia of course!

[@BradsWorld]

thanks for the input as always!

[@jeanninewelfelt8255]

love the green bathroom

[@BradsWorld]

Something for everyone!!

[@BlueLotusLife]

You’re such a great source of information!

[@BradsWorld]

Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!

[@julieparham6674]

Love it!

[@BradsWorld]

So glad!

[@maniizz]

Great price + plus all those olive trees 🌳🫒🌳🫒🌳

[@alicialozano7553]

You have the best finds. Coming for a month in May 2025. Hope to stay at one of your apartments. Can't wait to see the area

[@BradsWorld]

We look forward to seeing you here!

[@sos4550]

As a Northeaster, knowing the whole country pretty well, that's not a part of Italy where I'd move....for loads of reasons. But it may suit some others, especially (senior) foreigners, who have different needs and perspectives

[@BradsWorld]

There you go!

[@mcognito]

Brad, please double check that taxes paid abroad are a tax credit on your US tax return to avoid double-taxation. It’s been that way for decades

[@stevenbrady440]

Pretty sure the way it works as you pay your Italian taxes first. Then pursuant a tax treaty it has with the United States, you get full credit for the Italian taxes already paid. For me, it looks like my effective tax rate on all my income in the United States will be 7%. So it appears that 7% of my income would go to Italy. And the US would get nothing. If I’m wrong, somebody, please let me know.

[@Canetracker92]

No double taxation per treaty. Which ever calculates as the higher tax burden, you only pay there. US or Italy. Pretty sure, but be speak to a CPA that handles both US and Italy taxes.

[@BradsWorld]

That’s how it worked for me. I don’t get special treatment. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@gertrudedelsinore4557]

Hello pretty Claudia!!

[@AyoAyoOFFICIAL]

I think this is my favorite one yet! The land and location is primo. 👌 I wish I could buy now, but I also would like to rent first to get to know the area. Oh, what to do! 😆 Brad, could you make a video that touches on services for the aging population? I'm so ready to live there, but I've got an aging mother whom I care for here in the states. She's still very capable, but I'd love to know more about what's out there for caregiving services for when the time comes. I love that you've taken us through some of your everyday errands and tasks, including going to the doctor. Thanks for sharing with all of us!

[@bertibear1300]

Fact is in Otaly you look after parents or pay someone.Health care is not too bad in some areas

[@anaanastasoglou9498]

Nice, cute property, and the price unbearable!. Regarding what you explained about income taxes , there vs US , me & my husband couldn't quite understand you brad ( sorry we are kind of slow). Some how we understood, you said , some people might ended up paying income taxes, both in italy and in the US? But doesn't both countries have an agreement in order to avoid double taxation? We are confused. Also at one point you said that you save yourself about $40,000 a year, but didn't explain how? In our case we paid about $9,000 a year in health insurance for 4 people through my husband's 14:05 employer, and when we file our taxes, we always get a refund, we are able to claim many deductions in connection with our rental properties. ( i dont know if you can do this in italy if you have income properties ). For sure we need to analize very well whats better for us, tax wise, if just come to italy every 3 months, or become a permanent resident. If we just come every 3 months, we wont have to pay taxes in italy on our income from the US, but we wont be able to take advantage of their wonderful health system. If we become residents in italy , our income in the US will be taxed in italy, probably higher? All these , as you said has to be analized very carefully. For sure we will need your feedback , brad, and advice cause you already went through all these and have been living there for almost 3 years . This is a conversation we will have to have in person when we finally have the pleasure to meet you & olivia .

[@BradsWorld]

People have to file income tax returns in both United States and Italy is what I meant. Yes, there is no double taxation. If your tax resident here you pay taxes here first and then fill your US return with a tax credit for whatever taxes you paid here on the same income you’re declaring in the United States. Forrest we paid ZIERO US taxes for last year because we paid here in Italy first.

[@maniizz]

I am a bit confused with the taxes...Do you have a video about that topic? Grazie 😊

[@MichaelReibke]

Thanks

[@BradsWorld]

You are very welcome!

[@stevenbrady440]

Just bought your book Brad. Can’t wait to read it. Some of these towns are in earthquake zones. Could you point out what, if anything, they have done to prepare for possible earthquakes? I assume some have been remediated potentially. How does that work? What is the cost for that if it needed to be done? Ballpark. Also, Italian homes seem to be really overbuilt compared to America.

Also, my understanding is that Italians really don’t get homeowners insurance. Maybe for this reason. Many of these houses are essentially fire proof or highly fire resistant. Am I missing anything there? Pretty sure the standard homeowner policy there wouldn’t cover earthquakes anyway. You would need a special policy just for that which I suspect isn’t worth it. Nevertheless… An unexpected earthquake can wreck your day

[@BradsWorld]

All of Italy is basically some sort of an earthquake zone, but once you’re out of the mountains, it quickly becomes green zones like where I live here in Tuscany or even the flat areas in Lazio. If you just Google search “Italy seismic map” a really good probability map comes up and you can see that it’s basically the interior spine of Italy all the way down into Sicily. That’s the problem. In a lot of cases that’s why properties are so cheap in areas like Abruzzo.

[@BradsWorld]

Homeowners insurance is needed, we actually have fires here. But it’s very inexpensive compared to the United States for example example. One of our apartments is valued at about €1 million, and I believe we pay about €600 a year for homeowners insurance.

[@evamaritasundqvist3385]

Molto interessante👍

[@BradsWorld]

I thought so too!

[@jerikaylesneski]

Yes. The U.S. and Italy have an agreement to that effect.

[@lealovestravel]

I love that place, Brad. I would convert the garage to a bedroom and put a covered carport outside. My only concern with location is that you do have to have a car, and you can't buy one unless you have residency, I'm told. How did you get around that? Is that covered in your book?

[@kookietherapy9398]

Apparently the Italian Driver's License Test is written in Italian and Not easy.

[@davidecasassa8679]

Non-residents rent cars. For local trips, an eBike can be a cheap, legal way to get around independently.

[@lealovestravel]

​@davidecasassa8679 renting is very expensive but I've heard you can buy or lease in Germany and hand it back at the end of your 3 months.

[@spencergreen5934]

Will the previous owners need access to to olive trees for harvesting??

[@acemulcahey8355]

I am enjoying your videos. Perhaps you could explain the market there. If you buy and put money in a home is it easy to resell. Are homes typically on the market for an extended period? I am just interested in the difference between the market in your area vs the US currently. Grazie.

[@BradsWorld]

Homes here in general take much longer to sell. If you’re buying a house here, make sure you’re buying it as a long-term purchase. There’s no such thing as flipping here cause taxes will kill you. Buy something you want to use for a very long time, or spend an amount of money that you won’t mind having tied up even if you no longer use the house.

[@acemulcahey8355]

Thanks!

[@dannolawson263]

Hello Brad another nice property! I am trying to figure out which visa that I should approach the Italian Consulate with in San Francisco since I am thinking about filing for the Elective Residence Visa (ERV), essentially I need to know what visa and steps that I need to file when I first set up an appointment with the consulate besides the required paperwork, apartment rental, health insurance, background check, and proof of passive income, etc. Since I have to fly to the San Francisco location to apply I can't afford to waste the whole trip including my flight, hotel, and car rental/Uber, etc. I haven't seen a KZbin video that has covered this specific aspect of initial consulate visa process unfortunately the videos that I have watched only covered what paperwork and documentation is required and since things keep changing I don't even know what immigration form to file including whether the application is supposed to be completed online, at the consulate, or is it a printed document that needs to be filled out by hand? Thank you for any clarity that you can offer it is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Daniel

[@sandrabeltman9418]

Very good layout, great views, decent balcony, useful and well-flowing living spaces, and some 'room' left to add your style with kitchen and if you need to change it..the bathroom. Is it correct ...there arent any olive trees on this land...just the view of adjacent ones?

[@BradsWorld]

No there are 20+ olive trees on the property... You can see them when I am walking by and the trees directly in the view are included. Side note: I got 180 Kilos of olives off of just four trees in my front yard here in Tuscany this year. That made 17 Liters of olive oil. Yum!

[@EricOnYouTube]

Brad, are there people who will dissolve a household in the US? Virginia? My mom is too old now to do it on her own and when I move to Italy, she is coming with me. Thanks

[@BradsWorld]

No idea... 🤷‍♂️

[@leonalisa9163]

There are independant companies who plan and execute estate sales and manage the whole process

[@StephenSmith-ge1qf]

You pay zero property tax if you are officially a permanent resident and the house is your main residence. Otherwise, for second homes and holiday homes you pay the IMU (property tax, based on the size of your home and the amount and type of land you have). All properties pay the TARI, which is the local charge for services such as waste collection, street lighting, etc.

[@BradsWorld]

Yeah. That’s what I said. If you’re a resident you pay no property tax. And by the way folks…. Even if you had to pay the full property tax it is usually a small amount. We pay €480/year on an apartment worth €400K…

[@Horsemanguy]

Yeeeeep

[@wernerdanler2742]

Does Italy have a minimum taxable income? I live on social security here and have not paid income tax for 13 years. I heard the 7% is only good for 5 years.

[@davidecasassa8679]

Income tax is paid from dollar one at 23%, climbing to 43% at the 50K level. Not sure about the status of foreign pension/ss income.

[@wernerdanler2742]

@davidecasassa8679 I've heard cheating on taxes is common in Italy. With those taxes, I can see why. 😆 🤣 😂

[@BradsWorld]

It’s good for 10 years. Remember you’ll need at least €34.000 in pension income as a single person to qualify to get an ERV (retirement visa) here. Also remember that you’ll be paying taxes in your home country as well. First here then any balance owed.

[@dorothygillstrap7549]

I read the same thing… 5 years.

[@edwaldocamargo4387]

Infelizmente existe muita casa quase de graça na Itália mais quase ninguém para interesse

[@jerikaylesneski]

There are a FEW municipalities that have the seven percent tax in Lazio also …. and a few in Umbria and in Marche.

[@davidecasassa8679]

Yes, they are exceptions made due to their being in active seismic zones. The government publishes a list naming every such town.

[@BradsWorld]

I was in the SF earthquake in 1989. I will pass on living in active zones!

[@Horsemanguy]

Comes with the furniture included?

[@BradsWorld]

NOt sure. Probably on a full price offer. Ask claudia

[@Horsemanguy]

@BradsWorld Weeell when you present a house and you are filming all furnished its comon sense to tell us if comes with furniture included în the price.Tnx🧐👊✌️

[@Horsemanguy]

Its a mess the site of cloudia too.Never says if furrniture included or not,when there is land too a few times it says how much and in pictures is not delimited with a colour so we can see from where till where🧐👎

No living room ?

[@BradsWorld]

You could turn that downstairs Stone room into a den, or you could use one of the bedrooms as a living room. But I mean the house is what it is.

[@stevenbrady440]

Because I won’t have guaranteed income probably until I’m 70, in 7.5 years, I’m probably going to go with the digital nomad Visa. I assume there should be no problem using that with the 7% tax areas. These programs are a win-win for everyone. If I’m missing anything somebody please let me know. 😀 Sorry to write so much… 😀

[@BradsWorld]

That’s fine. Just make sure you like where you are planning to live if you go with the 7% scheme. It only lasts 10 years and those areas are in the program for a reason.

[@ike7933]

Tax scheme…..😅lol …. (In American English) typically a “scheme” has a negative connotation…..almost interchangeable with the word “scam “……lol…..nice video 😅

[@BradsWorld]

Yeah, the British use the word "Scheme" interchangeably with the word plan. It is referred to here as a scheme. But my personal belief is that it is closer to a scam. 10 years... You get taxed back home more anyway. I would rather pay the full boat to Italy.

[@londonbabe2467]

What person would be insane enough to purchase a one euro house and spend four hundred thousand euros doing the place up ? Surely nobody is that mad ?

[@BradsWorld]

There is a CNBC video about a woman who did just that down in Sicily. People are spending $100,000 to fix them up all the time. But you can buy really nice stuff here for much less and skip the hassle.

[@londonbabe2467]

@ 👋 Hello guys, Some people it seems have more money than sense. Sadly for me it’s quite the opposite. 😞

[@frankoptis]

I think when I'm old, I'll just sell my house in Germany and move to Spain or Italy

[@BradsWorld]

[@frokgjetaj4899]

Hello, I need a house in Amalfi cost

[@BradsWorld]

We all do! 🤣

[@andrewcowman8731]

I'm in. How do I buy it as I have a Eu passport?

[@RoseBornagain]

You can't buy a passport, You must citizen for many years and now they are very strict. Is very complicated I know some Americans who bought a house but they can live only 3 months at the time as for European living in the US without papers.

[@BradsWorld]

Property sales here, Dunlake most other countries. You come over and you buy the house. You don’t have to have an EU passport or be a resident. Anyone can buy a property here. You just need a Social Security number which you can readily get online.

[@davidecasassa8679]

Paying income tax at a flat 7% rate sounds great at first blush, and it would be great for an Italian citizen resident in a qualifying comune, who in a non-qualifying town would be paying the normal, steeply graduated 23%-43% tax. But for a citizen of a country like the US, which taxes worldwide income based on citizenship, not residence, it's pretty much a wash. Sure, the Italian tax paid can be claimed as a credit on your US tax return, but you still pay the balance of your regular US tax bill to the IRS.

[@BradsWorld]

Yep. That was my point. So you stuck in a village most have left, paying more to Uncle Sam. Hmmmmmm

[@jamesbarr2357]

A UK taxpayer who secures an ERV would not be taxed in the UK, so for 10 years the 7% deal is good news. The downside of the 7% regime is that many of the qualifying towns/villages are short on services and lack decent public transport links. Another thing to consider is the effect of the Calderoli Law, which may reduce public funding in the southern regions. I'm thinking particularly of healthcare. Anyone thinking of applying for an ERV should speak to an accountant and a lawyer to get chapter and verse on their tax liability, and also on any potential changes to the 7% regime before they move ahead. Remember that you have to buy or rent a property before you can apply for an ERV, so you need to be as sure as possible that your application is not going to be refused.

[@bigmyked8479]

This is all confusing to me. I've just started my journey looking into possibly moving overseas when I retire in 14 years. I'm from the U.S. and I'll be getting a Railroad Retirement pension. I'm confused about who I would pay taxes to? The U.S. and Italy? So I would be double taxed? Idk I guess I have plenty of time to figure it out.

[@ladydenise55]

That with taxes doesn't apply to EU citizens the same as non-EU citizens. You need to explain that.

[@BradsWorld]

Not sure what you are referring too... You need to explain what I need to explain...!?!

[@ladydenise55]

@BradsWorld that EU citizens have the right to settle, live and work in Italy with no formalities, and if the property is to be the permanent residence, there is no purchase tax. Citizens from outside the EU have to pass different criteria to.enable them to live inside the EU, and visiting / holidaying is a maximum of 90 days in any 180 day period on entering the EU, and that will be strictly digitally monitored as of April this year.

[@peteaulit]

Another 25k for a full time living house?? Those a houses have no insulation, crappy windows that need to be changed, and this one needs a new kitchen and bathrooms, a 1st floor that can be habitable, some serious TLC, and outside work on a lot that is quite small for being surrounded by nature. So yes, 75k is ok ish but you need to double that for full time unless you really don’t care. Thats just my unsolicited opinion 😊

[@BradsWorld]

We take all opinions. I still think €25K would get you everything you need. Or you could spend 200,000 in this area and get a 3000 square-foot home that is in perfect condition. The amount of choice here is overwhelming. There’s something for every budget and every ability.

[@pietro4772]

Peteaulit, you could quadruple the selling price and still not find anything comparable in quality and value in the entirety of America, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

[@peteaulit]

@@pietro4772 I lived in Liguria in a construction just like that but habitable. I don’t know the prices for trades in the area where that house is located but I’d like to see how far one can stretch a euro.

[@stevenbrady440]

In the US they have paint coatings that can be put over tiles. Whether they are in the shower, or on a wall, or somewhere else. I’ve had houses with that and it looks great and lasts indefinitely. For some Americans, the contrasting tiles are kind of overwhelming and offputting. Yes, I understand that different cultures have different senses of beauty. I assume they have such products in Italy? You simply paint the tiles and the grout. It can be sprayed on. Which does away with the grout cleaning problem… And for a basic interior repaint, what does that run normally?

[@BradsWorld]

Maybe €2500 for interior of the house. And you could probably get those tiles replaced with something a little less shocking for about 1000. I’ve owned a lot of apartment complexes, I don’t like the look of painted tiles, regardless of how well the paint sticks… Thanks for the thoughts!! 💪🏼🇮🇹❤️

[@stevenbrady440]

For that price, it doesn’t even make sense to paint them. When income levels in an area are low, to get work done is as well. Things have to be priced according to what people in a given area can pay for them. Again, this is a win-win for everyone.
