Always real, honest, useful information that no one else mentions. Thank you .
Glad it was helpful!
Good Point Brad about deciding where to live. Not only do they deem where you live to get the 7% it's only for 10 years then you are back on regular taxes. It gets very expensive and it's complicated. You are taxed on different income differently. I advise people take multiple trips and consult a great lawyer, relocation person as well as a Italian tax person. Having these people in your corner is invaluable. Brad your information and honest conversations is so very good. I always learn something. IT helps even me think differently and reminds me about the reality. I find so many people moving abroad or thinking about it, like you said, we have to think about LIVING, you are not on holiday anymore, hospitals, convenience, what do you want in your town, where do you want to live It's easy to buy a house in italy but not as easy to sell. Thanx again for all of your effort. I know how much time you spend on all of these videos and editing not to mention traveling....See you all in the spring. Gina in Upstate New York moving to Europe in 2025
My wine guy at my favorite spot here in Montepulciano pulled me aside a month after we got here and told me, "You aren't on vacation anymore my friend... You can't drink like this everyday, you won't last five years!" 🤣🤣🤣
It was a valid point. Living here is very different that being here on vacation and going nuts for a few weeks.
@@BradsWorld yes and I also see people crash not knowing what to do or how to act when reality of life sets in. They return home. Wherever you go there you are LOL. I learned that one winter abroad. Got through the lonely and wandering LOL. YOU LIVE and LIVE WELL and healthy, happy and joyful . . . Your vids are so cool. Cheers
I was stationed in Italy back in the 90's, I had a great time. It's a beautiful place to live.
Great job, Brad.
What a wonderful intro...interesting and educational history, delightful visuals, informational captions and wonderful music. Makes me remember what it feels like to drive in Toscana. Fun wine bottle tree. Can one imagine a home made now that would stand up as well as a 300 year old European home? That interesting ceiling light reminded me of Mercury/Hermes' helmet. Small fridge mo' bettuh! Buy food fresh every day! Oh, well, the stairs up are too much for me given the times this body has travelled on this planet around Sol. The attic is a perfect place to lie down shrouded in sheets to imagine what it would be like to be a former lover of Miriam Blaylock from The Hunger. Mille grazie for another adventure in Italia. Am looking forward to your telling of the challenges of buying property there in Italia. USA in the company of Eritrea and Myanmar in terms of Expatriation tax...wonderful...not. And yet small percentages of the wealth of the 400 wealthiest Americans could wipe out poverty globally...and they'd still be billionaires ... aigu ... oy vey ... mamma mia ... I will need many more of your videos to get me through the next four years
Thanks! Only 1,460 days to get through!
Wow, the views are lovely! Nice apartment.
They are!
Great value for money, cute enough with lots of room
I wish I had been there on a bright sunny day, it makes such a difference. I think the fog lifted just after I left. It was a nice apartment that could use a few thousand euros in upgrades.
Ciao Brad, I absolutely love this apartment, especially the kitchen, it reminds me so much of the apartments in NYC. The tax information is really good to know. Your information is amazing and allows everyone looking to make the move to be informed on making decisions. Grazie Mille, amore da N.Y.
Grazie! My kids live in NYC and you’re right! Very similar.
I'd love to see more of the outside of the property and surrounds
Thank you, Brad..it seems that all the rooms are good sized except the kitchen.
Thank you! This is really great, and tempting! Could you always include the DIRECTION the house faces? Entry door particularly, but also bedroom, kitchen, etc.? Thank you!
Yeah... I forget to show the bathroom when all was said and done... 🤣🤣. I sometimes mention the direction, but there are really sooooooo many things I could include in the video that it becomes overwhelming and cumbersome.
I prefer to let things free flow and if people are super interested they can ask the agent. But I doubt whether the living room faces NW or SSW is going to be the deciding factor of whether they reach out.
I'll make a mental note here and try to at least say which direction one room is facing especially when it is a special view. That kitchen faced almost due south by the way!! 🤓
Thanks for the comment!! See you next time! BRAD
@BradsWorld yes, totally understandable! Great idea to mention the direction of the awesome views, which, clearly, would be a deciding factor. Thanks Brad, for all your great videos, helping us get a feeling of each area.
As always appreciate the little tidbits of advice, they sink in more when parceled out with the home tours.
"just a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down..."
Grazie da Houston. ❤
Prego da Tuscana. 🇮🇹❤️💪🏼
One feature I would love to see you highlight is the number and placement of electrical outlets. I hate it when there’s only one outlet in a room, or they are placed halfway up to the ceiling!
Another great find at commendable prices, Brad. - I also have a question, i note your locations are on mainland Italy. What is your opinion of, and the pricing situation in, the islands of Sardinia and Sicily? Would you even consider the islands as a location to purchase property and live? And would the same criterion apply of buying a property to live in, not as an appreciating asset or investment? Gracie!
I like both places, but wouldn't live in either. Sicily is great in summer, but not year round. Sardinia is so pretty but I don't like having to take a plane to get anywhere (yes there is a ferry but it takes a long time and a big hassle to get to it.)
Here in Tuscany I can be in Rome in 2 hours by train and Switzerland or france or Austria in 6 hours by car.
I’m always wondering about 1) the parking 2) the common elements..how are repairs to those areas handled and 3) where’s the nearest bar for my morning caffè.
Do you have worry about the dampness on the walls like near the kitchen window? We know you can paint but is there a stone issue that needs to be addressed from the outside when you see this on the inside? I see it in so many listings and I’m curious how they truly pin/seal the stones -does it require full re-stucco on the outside?
We use these little special inexpensive drawing boxes in our farm house during the winter months because it's all closed up and it's generally pretty damp here with low dewpoints. But it's not a serious problem.
I love wine bottle tree, such fun. Great property, but too many stairs for me.
Yeah... It was a lot of stairs. part of the living to 85 I am afraid.
We have a woman here in Montepulciano that is 95 and she is walking up the old town everyday. I mean that is a climb! She does it slow but she gets it done everyday!
I've done my tax math. Long and short. 7% on gross in Italy could be more than x% on net in USA.
With USA passive rental income, SSA & IRA distributions, total taxes if I'm in a 7% area, will be a little more (7% of the gross is more than 12.5% if the net). So, no tax savings but not enough more to say no to Italy.
Costs of tax prep go up too.
Once the 7% rate goes away, my blended rate in Italy would be about 40%. And because Italy does not give me all the tax breaks on rental properties USA does, all the cash from the rentals goes to pay Italian taxes. So why have the rental income at all? Yes, most of the taxes paid in Italy will be credited in USA but, the IRS does not issue refund checks for taxes paid to Italy. The credits can be applied to a prior year or to future year tax obligations in USA, up to 10 years I think. So in other words, worthless. Probably.
In effect then, in our case, moving to 7% Italy AND KEEPING OUR RENTALS means more but worth it taxes for the 1st ten years and a lot, lot, more tax after ten years on a status quo basis.
Will we do it? Probably, for the heath care. But we may have to move back for 2 years to sell the rentals that way we only have to pay the Italian wealth tax on the cash as opposed to wealth tax and the 43% tax on rental income.
You my friend are a true planner!! Bravo!!
too many steps for us, but town is interesting!
It would be great to break down some of the walls to make more of an "American" sized kitchen and dining combo. How hard is it to get permission? Thanks.
Thanks for explaining the 7% tax!
There are better people than me to explain it in detail. I always suggest people go to www.StudioLegaleMetta.com. Lots of great info on that website and solid people.
@ I like less detail for now.😆 But thank you!
I’ve seen that same weird bathroom layout in another Italian property. Very narrow room. Sink, tub shower combo, toilet, bidet; in that order all on the same side. That tub/shower in the middle is weird. As I said, the room is narrow, so walking past the tub to the toilet is a really narrow space. So this layout is common?
I think its because at some point the had carved out the bathroom, probably from the kitchen area. Maybe. I could be wrong, but why make it so skinny on purpose.
@@oldgloryhillfarmturtlewoma9132 my son and wife's apartments in NYC have the same layout.
@ I find that so strange. A bizarre use of space, making it almost claustrophobic. And the look isn’t appealing. Who do you suppose designed that?
Nice view out the window. I didn't catch - does it come furnished?
You could ask Paolo. Generally with full priced offers the properties come furnished. Generally.
Is furniture included? For how much can it be rented?
You can ask the agent Paolo about inclusion. Usually with a full price offer it can be done.
Furniture can't be rented for sure. What owner would want to mess with that?
Does it have a washing machine, not mentioned. Parking not mentioned.
I’d mention it if it had a parking spot. Most don’t. Ditto on washer.
For the money, it’s a great deal. I would have to get rid of those wood floors though. They don’t look like they belong there.
Is that the closest hospital, 30 minutes away. Far if you have a heart attack....lol
Yes, but there are emergency clinics and EMT's stationed in town. Can't have major hospitals everywhere. I however have one 6 mins from my house... Came in handy when wifey needed an ER after food poisoning. In 10 minutes she was in with the doctor it was that fast when we got there. Through her right on the gurney and wheeled her back.
There is actually no such thing as a hot water heater. It’s simply a water heater.
Wow…. That’s a great catch. Very helpful. No one knew what I was talking about.
@@BradsWorld :D
This place needs a bit of TLC even at this price. With no elevator and as we are aging, no thank you. There is a reason why you left out the bathroom. What bathroom as you have to be pretty thin as the walls feel like they would close in on you. This may be Tuscany but no thank you.
Always more to find! Thanks for watching…
