Golden Visa schemes

[Micki M.]

I really want to live in Europe again and have been eyeing Golden Visa schemes where if you buy a certain value of real estate a country will give you a renewable residence visa.  Portugal and/or Spain have been doing this at 450,000 EU but Greece is now offering 250,000 EU.  That's $300k US and seems reasonable.

Has anyone else considered doing this?  You can buy a nice piece of real estate for that and I've wondered about syndicating funds for a vacation property that could be used by the members and generate income but allow me to get that elusive visa.  Or some overseas investor could marry me :)
