"Millennial Couple Buys $25K House in Italy Instead of Chicago"

Kristina Knighten and Paul Cordier, TEFL-certified teachers living in the UAE, initially saved to buy a home in Chicago but opted for a $25,000 house in Italy instead. They faced challenges with U.S. mortgage lenders and fell in love with a property in Lago d'Iseo. Despite delays and increased renovation costs, they are committed to transforming their Italian home, finding joy in the process and the connection to its history.
