OUR BIG Challenges with Buying in Portugal (Episode 5)

Hi Expats and Travelers! I'm Josh from ExpatsEverywhere and this is the Vertical Community Venture. We are trying to find a property in Porto, Portugal, buy it, renovate it, move in, and live in it. This is our 5th episode in this series. In this episode I talk about the challenges that have arisen that have slowed me down from buying a place. I want to make you aware of what my challenges are so that you can set the right expectations if you're going to try to do something similar. Want to watch the whole series?
