@Jason Wray, The reason that our shop is pretty hot about your post is two-fold, we do all of the things that you are implying that we don't (other than government loans, we don't work in that space). 

I found it very unlikely that the government would not want to get their piece of the pie, especially if they had purchased a new primary home.Donyou have a Tax Code or Publication Number you can share so I can study up and understand your thought process more in depth?

While the same comments would apply, the previous Portuguese government enacted a law in 2023 that severely restricted certain types of short-term rental in certain areas and that law has been abolished by the new government because they realized it wouldn't solve the problem.

That means the government has been borrowing my $600k (instead of $1.2M because I don’t live in California.) interest free for more than 10 years.

Lastly, your going to want to get with local governance, a lot more then normal.

He was freaking out because they rejected his crypto downpayment and he could not close.When dealing with banks and the government, best to convert to cash 60 days in advance.

., giving you market guidance, open houses, vetting potential buyers who don't have and don't want representation, contract negotiation, managing/scheduling/attending inspections and surveys, fielding bank requests for information, making sure government paperwork is done, you imagine and write it down and you'll still miss some stuff, but that's okay.

Any taxes not owed, a seller merely file a tax return with the state, just like any other tax returns filed for extra taxes a government has with held.
