A Fixer Upper

Some places around the world will do that ... pay the taxes up to date and you get the place for free, subject to you have to fix it up and get an occupancy permit within a given amount of time. Everyone wins - the municipality has their taxes paid and doesn't have to tear it down, the new owner brings a lot of money into the town in the form of materials, contractors, etc, and local builders have more work to do ...

I've been looking at a lot of places in Italy. Not many are in that bad shape. Some are amazing 200+ year old stone houses that just need some love. OK, some love and 200K Euros in renovations.
I really want to live someplace that I can ride all year around, comfortably.

€200k is pocket money these days for someone looking for a house, especially in warm sunny southern Italy...? Sounds like a deal!

I didn't specify that this is on top of the purchase price of 150K Euros and up. They usually have a bit of land also, an acre or two, maybe more, depending on the location.

Sorry, I thought you were talking about one of those $1 deals.

I've found that the places you can ride all year long tend to have flat straight rides and dry countryside....
