My husband just immigrated here from Australia in the beginning of this year, so our long term income is not verifiable in the eyes of the banks.

Multifamily is safe bet for many as with shortages in affordable housing nationwide, people are in need of good housing options and there is high demand for multifamily in many cities from senior living, millenials and immigration numbers.However, as the cycle shifts and especially in this pandemic time frame, there is opportunity for an investor to find the building types such as office space no longer used, due to remote workforce, and convert to create demand.

The city is filled with an insane number of contract workers surrounding the entertainment industry and a large immigrant population (probably ignored in these statistics, smh) that subsists on gig work that has quickly come to a halt.Also wtf, $3,432 average rent in Boston. 

Huge shortage of housing, huge shift in migration/immigration. 

$7 trillion in stimulus, loose monetary policy, going to war in Ukraine, tariffs, limited drilling, and 5-10 million fewer workers (limited immigration for 1.5 years, mass early retirement during the pandemic, added deaths, millions more on disability with long covid or claims of it). 

Are there new immigrants moving into the area who may need a place to stay?

Also with the unfriendliness of the US Trump immigration harassment, many Mexicans from the US are moving back and they bring with them their US standards of living so there is more demand for housing from this group as well.  

It started (for immigrants) as a resort town with the knickname of Spring City.

Windsor is in the midst of not one, but two, multi-billion dollar bridge construction projects that will add thousands of direct jobs, and thousands more spinoff jobs, to the economy for up to the next 7-10 years.When you factor a major project like this into a situation where there is already a severe supply/demand imbalance and a lack of rental properties, you have a perfect recipe for increasing housing prices and increasing rents.Now we have a perfect storm in Windsor for investors to take advantage of with 2 major bridge projects, growing University and College populations, immigration from countries around the world, migration from residents of other provinces looking to downsize and move to a cheaper city with better weather, and a booming Detroit.  

@Abby Vohra there are many Facebook groups for expat relocating to Portugal that offer help in immigration, real estate and tax.Many of the ones I am a member of are British or American, but the American relocation rules are the same for you.I run one of these groups for social events in the Coimbra region.
