Absolutely! There are no restrictions on foreign ownership in Italy.
If you secure financing in your country or pay cash, it is a very straightforward process. Matteo also has his mortgage broker's license and works with banks specialized in granting mortgages to foreign nationals. The LTV is generally 60% fixed interest rate (requiring a 40% down-payment) and a 25-year term. For more information or to get prequalified, contact us here.
No; you can still live abroad and use your property as a vacation home or as an investment property. If, however, you want to take advantage of the bonus "Prima Casa" incentives, you must transfer your residency within 18 months.
U.S. citizens can live in Italy 6 months of the year without a visa by: (1) staying up to 90 days, (2) leaving for 90 days, and (3) returning for a fresh 90 days. For longer types of visas and depending on your unique situation, you may qualify for an Elective Residence Visa, Work Visa, Self-Employment Visa, or Investor Visa.

Expect to pay 6-10% of the property's purchase price in closing fees. These costs include: agency fees, notary fees, and registration taxes. For a detailed breakdown, please see our blog post here.
We commonly hear people mistake Italy for having high property taxes. This is incorrect. Depending on location and property type, property taxes are very low and range between 0.2% to 0.5% of the purchase price. This is lower than the European average and less than half of the 1.1% US average.
If you are retired and live abroad, property taxes are halved. If you move to Italy and transfer your residency, you won't pay any property taxes on your primary residence! For more information, read our blog post here.
