After surveying the market, we chose Athens, Greece, and began looking through property ads
Shockingly, 9 out of 10 were either fake or mere bait from realtors. Contacting these agents revealed they were more interested in offloading leftover properties than meeting our needs. After sifting through 500+ ads and engaging with numerous realtors, we narrowed down to just six suitable, legally sound apartments.
When we decided to purchase one of these six apartments, a multitude of hidden costs hit us as the deal closed: taxes, fees, and commissions, among others. Our efforts to rent out the apartment unveiled yet more expenses: licensing, listing fees, and operational costs started adding up.
