I forgot to mention this in my last article about Romania.
Starting 2008 from all the real estate transactions conducted between established companies 19% V.A.T will be deducted, payable to the State.

Many of you may think or may have been told that Romania and in particular Bucharest is one of the last places left in Europe for a profitable real estate investment.
I pretty much doubt that, and I’d like to contradict all the experts who sustain that.

I’m just curios if many people heard about the “Los Mangos” new residential development located in the village of Buceria, not far away from Puerto Vallarta.

Now, let’s get back to….Bulgaria
As I wrote in my previous articles, the mass media and only the mass media determined lots of people to invest in Bulgaria. One should wonder, why all this fuss about Bulgaria as there were other markets advertised as well.

I was extremely busy today, so I didn’t get a chance to further write about Bulgaria.
Instead I’ll show you some photos of a nice and cozy house from the Carpathian Mountains, with a breath taking view, built by a renowned architect sometime before the Second World War.

In the 90s and even at the beginning of 2000, nobody really heard about Bulgaria, and if they did they heard only the bad things. I bet many of you didn’t even know which […]
