If we could go back in time, I think we would have bought something too that would have qualified for the Golden Visa, thank you for sharing your experience.
@@christobar There were a few reasons for us. A big reason is that there isn't a ferry between Madeira and the mainland, which meant that road trips were out of the question (and we love them...in fact, we're in the middle of a road trip between Nazaré and the south of France). Also, with a larger dog, it meant that we'd always need to leave the dog at home if we traveled off the island. And we weren't interested in living in Funchal, but that means while it may be beautiful to look at, it seemed like daily life (errands) would need to be done in a car on windy roads. But, don't get me wrong, I go back and forth on it frequently. Good luck!
Excellent and very informative video. Just to add for another thing to consider...where we lived in Canada properties had an average of 3 days to 30 days on market...depending on condition and location of course...whereas in Portugal properties can be on the market for months and even years. They do not have an organised mls system and the real estate market is very different than North America. So that's another thing to consider before purchasing. Thanks for sharing and have you tried Grill Meia Laranja in Nazare? It's very good and excellent prices.
Thanks for adding @thepeacefulpack and we also did an earlier video about buying this property and the differences between here and the US. We haven’t tried Grill Meia Laranja but thanks for the recommendation!
We are coming to Portugal in December & would be interested in seeing the accommodation you have in Nazare. Could you give me a link to where we could do a booking?
I Absolutely love your content…thank you! Celebrating my birthday today and making a resolution to move to Portugal within a year. My only concern is my continued earned come working virtually without the NHR and housing prices in Lisbon. I’ll definitely utilize your resources and guidance.
Why would you buy to rent short-term in Portugal and live in the US? Short-term rentals require a lot of work. You are probably making no money as you need to hire people for that. In your case, it would be way better to rent long-term until you decide to move to Portugal permanently.
We address all these questions in the video. Rates were exceptionally low, prices here are rising faster than most other places, and so getting a great house at a great price and a great rate was a win. For us, renting for several years and then buying at prices that were much higher and rates likely much higher would have had a worse outcome. However, you do you, and if that’s what you would do, that’s great. We just came to a different conclusion. Thanks!
Thanks for watching @rfotofolio8087 and mortgage practices are different here. The mortgage needs to be paid off by the time you’re 80, so the mortgage length is determined by how many years you have until you turn 80. Also, we had to out 25% down. Otherwise, not a problem.
Thanks for watching @ADAtrips but it all depends on what you like and when you come. Portugal is a small country and you can drive from top to bottom in about seven hours and west to east in under three. There’s plenty if you’re a foodie, a hiker, a big wave surfer, a golfer, a history seeker, or just hanging at the beach. Good luck!!
Hey Dawn and Matt! I have been watching you for the past few months and love your content! You inspired me to start my own UA-cam channel and UA-cam journey! Thank you so much! I just subscribed to you from my new UA-cam account 🤠 If you have a few seconds, I would love to get any feedback you may have on my channel / how I can continue to grow and improve. It has been a blast so far!!! Thank you again for everything and please keep it up! 💞 (I will continue to like and comment from this channel moving forward; hopefully that helps to boost your views)!!! 🙂
Hey @LoganSamuelVideos and I like your start! Four videos in and it looks promising! You’ve picked a very competitive niche but it’s also a niche that - once monetized - has high revenue per view….probably why it’s competitive. Keep working at it and maybe work to develop a unique angle that can stand out. I like the retire by 30 concept and maybe it’s speaking to the under 30 crowd in some effective way…not being under 30 not sure what that is….good luck!

@honeymoonalways WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!
Immensely valuable video! We're heading to Madeira tomorrow to look at short term rental properties.
We almost bought in Madeira @christobar and it is amazing!
@@TheUnretirees Interesting, were there any reasons why you ended up deciding on the mainland instead?

Excellent video. Great info. Strategic thinking. Thank you
Thanks @Mialovesphoto -- some of that thinking we wish we knew ahead of time :).
Ótimo vídeo com grandes dicas e alertas importantes
Obrigado @angelapita2671 !

Are your videos edited by professionals or by yourself? The video quality is really great🙂
Thanks so much @leenasDigitasTeam and no, we do editing ourselves and learning as we go!

Sure. Send us an email to hello@theunretirees.com.
@@TheUnretirees Thanks I have sent an email. I look forward to your reply!
Hi, I am gradually going through your videos, and am wondering if you show your home, and if so, which video is it in? Many thanks
Thanks for watching @M-LFC491 and while we have shown peeks of our home here in Nazaré (like in this video), we haven’t done a full tour yet.

Thank you for the informative post. May I ask how you got a morgage as I thought it was very hard as you get older? Thank you

Hope to visit Portugal one day. If I only have 1 week, where would you suggest? 🌴🌴Aloha
