I live abroad, but I will be in Portugal in December and I'm planning to visit Entroncamento and talk with local real estate brokers and other locals to better understand the rental market there, to have more information for my analysis.I'm looking to locations close to Lisbon and with good infrastructure (transports, social, manufacturing, etc) with prices under 60k, because I think in 5 to 10 years, they can have appreciation between 20% to 40% in some cases.Thats my experience with investing in Barreiro, In less than a year I have aprecciation around 20%-25% in 2 apartments that I bought under market value in the beginning of 2020 and rents are around the 1% of acquisition value.I also plan to talk with some banks to understand better what refinancing solutions are available in the market.Regards,Mauro

Could be tough for the area, but also might be a great opportunity too for some large manufacturing facilities to go in there or logistics operations with all that land and location.Good luck and best wishes.
