Rents in a small and half empty town or village are not that high though, if you can find renters at all. These same renters could also buy their home very cheaply with a bank loan.

I like it Mike….! The floors are amazing, the homes size is wonderful! Income potential is a bonus. The stairs are the only issue I can see as you age it gets more difficult to climb. 60 here and my knees are starting to bother me a bit. With that said, you’re young and I’d throw them an offer. 😊 The view is fab!

Thanks! I like it too. As you could tell I loved the floors. I'm ok with stairs. It's good exercise. And since I want to live in a hill town, I think there are always going to be stairs. If the become a problem later in life, I can always sell it. But honestly, why knows where I'll be then. I'm a nomad and need change. 😊

Hey Mike! I do like this place in Piedmont except for all the stairs to get to the view. I didn't hear what the price was but motivated sellers sounds good. I'm sure there are lots of places there which meet your specific needs and wants. I'm curious about the climate there and if you would need air conditioning. Piedmont region would probably feel a lot like Colorado I bet. And it is closer to other parts of Europe so that's a big plus. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. And continue your journey. We are watching!

Thanks @randygulleryjr2180. I think the climate will be similar to Colorado. I asked some locals and they said it can get up to 35 C/ 95 F. But it if cools down in the evenings, I could deal with that. And I'm guessing these old houses have thick walls that could help it stay cool. And there is excellent air floor with all of the windows. Being closer to Central Europe is one of the big reasons I decided on Piedmont. Of course there's the landscape, wine, food, etc. The asking price is €85,000, recently reduced from €95,000. The realtor mentioned a couple times that the current price is negotiable. So clearly the sellers are motivated. I'm waiting to hear back from the realtor to see what they are willing to do. Check in next week for an update.

Beautiful Floors! I love that every room has a different tile design. Something new to see in every room. So much better than the same tiles throughout a house. Those are nice! The marble stairs are gorgeous, but be extremely careful wearing just socks going down them and don't get them wet or you will have a marble slip and slide. As long as you can navigate all those stairs for years to come, go for it! I don't know how old you are, but stairs will be a hurdle in old age...just talking from experience. That's probably the best house you've posted so far. It's really lovely.

I think it's a great property, Mike. It certainly could be occupied right now, and what work needs to be done could happen gradually over time. See if you can find a geromita (sp.?) to look it over and give their opinion. I've watched MANY videos on property in Italy. The price often depends on the size and desirability of the town. Some towns, close to ski areas or the ocean can fetch higher prices. Perhaps there's some room for negotiation on price. Good luck.

Really, you think it needs a lot of work? I think there is hardly anything that needs to be done. A few cracks need to be repaired and then some paint. The skylight, stairs to the rooftop and maybe some walls around the stairs, but that's about all I see. The issue for me is building out another kitchen, getting furniture for all the rooms, etc. That could be a lot. We'll see. I'm still thinking about it.

@@aroundtheworldwithmike Good point. I think we are approaching this from different perspectives. I consider the prospect of a major kitchen renovation in a foreign country to be a lot of work. It just scares me. I'm not quite handy enough to do it myself. You seem to be much more comfortable with such an undertaking. I couldn't really tell much about the roof, but it looked a bit suspect when you showed the attic. You might consider hiring someone to examine it before you buy. Other than those two issues, I think it's great. When you showed ladder to the terrace, my first thought was 'a simple stairway would make that so much better'. As you said, the view is spectacular. This place really does have a lot going for it if you're not afraid of the renovations.
