Caixa de Credito is good, but it depends on the branch.5- I think you should get to know the market before investing.

@Kyle Gryba & @Ernesto Miguel Credito

Apparently you can do it with a "Crédito Multifunções" but there are some restrictions implemented by the Bank of Portugal: If the property was acquired less than 2y ago: This type of loan is limited to 80%-Loan To Cost (from what I understood rehab costs are not included).If the property was acquired more than 2y ago: This type of loan can be used until a max of 80%-Loan to value not limited to the acquisition cost.Let me know if you had different feedback. 

- Crédito Mobiliario is the best and cheapest option?

You have Portuguese and foreign people there that invest in Portugal, personally I'm a mortgage broker (intermediário de crédito) here and work with a lot of foreigners and people like you guys.

I put up bandit signs on telephone poles that said "Se Vende, 3/2/2 Casa, sin credito, mal credito or Must sell 3/2/2 bad credit ok" $5,000 down Call Now!

@Ernesto Miguel Credito Since you don't have a budget set then you are best to probably buy where you want to live.
