Why We Passed on the $1 Italy Home Offer

A couple in their 30s considered buying a 1-euro home in Italy but opted for a more expensive, move-in-ready farmhouse in Sant'Elia a Pianisi. They found the 1-euro housing program risky due to potential renovation costs and legal stipulations, which are often in Italian. Instead, they purchased a 3,121-square-foot farmhouse for 29,000 euros, enjoying a vibrant community and the flexibility to renovate at their own pace. They recommend hiring a property lawyer for navigating international real estate transactions.
