ya its not like moving to a 3rd world country plus you can get health insurance once you have your Golden visa for a very nominal amount according to my friend that has a Golden Visa. the 500k has to be in cash though I believe.. they bought a unit in Porto and one just north of Lisbon. sure beats Mexico I can tell you that..

It's wonderful that you conduct a thorough cleaning and inspection, complete with photos, before move-ins.

I'm a small contractor and builder and I'm looking for Sub-2s or Seller finance properties in Austin Texas, and I will definitely pay $10--15 k cash, no ******** for the right deal.Jerrys deal would be sweet (for him) if it worked, ie get hundreds of people to pay you money to find great RE deals and then only pay for the super sweet deals (and then take plenty of promotional photo shots to post on the web site to impress more potential buyers for the software program and couching)Obviously the other huge issue that new and hopeful RE investors MUST consider is...

Throw in some extra costs like moving expenses, professional photos (a cost the STR PM may also need to pay depending on the quality of the existing photos), renter's and lessor's insurance and a listing on furnishedfinder to round out some of the start-up costs.

If no, are there photos of each unit and all closets, the basement, the roof, the exterior, and all mechanicals?

Think more like an STR property with great photos and amenities.
