You can find entire medieval village for sale: http://vallepiola.comSince the Euro is weak I stopped to search rental property in the US and I am becoming curios about the criteria US people use to evaluate vacation rentals in Italy:- Airport proximity- Transportation- Famous cities (Rome, Florence) proximity- Local people speaking English

@Merin Porter  My business partner and I have a mobile home transport company and can move the mobile home for $9k.

And in the medium term, the Tesla I am driving is so much more of a car than those BMW and Mercedes, and when they come out with Model 3 in two years for $35,000, and cost of ownership becomes identical to that of a nicely equipped Honda Accord, there will me a mass shift to electric transport at the household level. 

His step brother is transporting his mother back to the US because although she has a living will, it is not valid in Italy. 

Some will stay, but the repetitive jobs (transportation, manufacturing, etc.) will all eventually be automated.

(i.e. 7k for a decent used MH, few grand for renovations, 3-5k to transport and set the mobile home). 

Depending on your DTI, you may need to work at reducing expenses (rent/mortgage, car loan or transportation, etc).
