Hey there - we are looking to invest in a couple vacation rental properties in Athens as part of the Greek Golden Visa program.

Booze is almost completely gone now -- my brother is a Mormon and I'm pretty sure I drink less than he does.I still like good coffee, but instant coffee and Greek frappe (if you don't know what that is, you're better off) is out.The big wrench in the works happened two years ago when a lot of my renovation physical activity caught up to me and I got arthritis in my hip.

This property was built in 1920 and the wiring was ancient and fraught with issues.

What has been your experience with Greek housing?

I always wonder how/why people find ancient threads and decide to reply to them . . .

The rare Greek revial style of the home with 16 inch thick concrete and brick walls makes this a fortress.

I have a rental property in La Verne that would be perfect for this (complete with ancient clay sewer line due for a replacement).

It's a split level that I bought in original condition, including a 1984 ancient-looking air conditioner and all the things that come with a house of this nature.The plan was to do a full cosmetic + replace HVAC and Roof + prune back 60ft tall pine trees AND turn it into a house hack bnb.What I've learned so far....- Trust but VERIFY everything on the buy side.

But heck that won't put a dent in your Greek sunscreen budget.As usual @Nicholas Aiola nails it.

When I looked at the proforma I was lost, it was all Greek to me!
