You probably mentioned that Greece is the best from the residency angle because it's one of the few remaining EU countries that hasn't abolished it's golden visa and it still has a property option while Portugal, who has the best program has excluded real estate.

It is a modern slavery system, it is.  

I abolished those grace periods and now tell my tenants the grace period is the week before the 1st.

However this rush for HAF might also be due to Trump and DOGE policies abolishing these programs, since afterall most were put in place to protect against people losing income due to Covid.  

If you abolish property tax's, the day after sales tax goes up something like 75%, state income tax's go up multipliers, all local government city, county and state will shot through the roof.

Additionally, any existing restrictions at the town level (there are MANY) will be abolished, unless deemed "reasonable" by the state.

That's slavery.

While the same comments would apply, the previous Portuguese government enacted a law in 2023 that severely restricted certain types of short-term rental in certain areas and that law has been abolished by the new government because they realized it wouldn't solve the problem.

If you're looking for MY permission to abolish FinCEN - you got it  ;)

I've since paid of my mortgage and have no slavery inducing loans to service.
