Got experience in Portugal, esp. Carvoeiro and Vilamoura?

[Catherine Underwood]

Any one got property experience in Portugal, especially the Carvoeiro and Vilamoura areas? I’d love to hear about any pitfalls or advantages you know of, especially with apartments or houses for short stay rentals OR apartments for long term rentals. 

I’ve noticed there are a lot of properties that are advertised as offering guaranteed incomes where the seller does everything including management of the properties - any one got any views about this?

Ps: I know there are threads about Portugal but they are quite old, so I thought it would be best to start a new one.

Thanks!
