Just read this article last week. $475K all-in isn't bad for a 4-bedroom Italian getaway with a sauna and pizza oven. But as I see it, "managing a local crew on the massive renovation" in Sicily adds at least another $500k of sweat equity.

I bought one of Sicily’s famous $1 homes
quote:
Meredith Tabbone lives in Chicago, but for the last five years, she’s spent countless hours and nearly half a million dollars to build her dream home in Italy. It all started in early 2019 when Tabbone learned about a town in Italy, Sambuca di Sicilia, that was auctioning off abandoned properties starting at 1 euro, or roughly $1.05.
At the same time, Tabbone, who works as a financial advisor, was deep into researching her family history. She had just traced her great-grandfather back to the same Sicilian town before he started a new life in America. The coincidence was “too good to be true,” and she took it as a sign to place a bid. A few months later, Tabbone became the owner of the 1-euro home.
She also bought the building next door and got to work managing a local crew on the massive renovation. Today, Tabbone, 45, uses her Sicily property as a vacation getaway, and she says it feels like a primary residence. The home includes two primary bedrooms, two guest bedrooms, a kitchen with modern finishes, a large dining room with a gallery wall of photography, a library, a living room, a dry-heat sauna and two terraces, including one with a pizza oven and outdoor dining area.
In all, she spent roughly $475,000 on her Italian dream home.

Probably will have the same opportunities in Greece.

Lasta, GREECE — There’s nobody around anymore to man Saint George cafe in Lasta, a mountainous village in Greece’s Peloponnese region. Instead, there’s an honor system — just take a drink, leave a donation and soak up the relics of a bygone era. Photos of lively residents on the walls belie the reality outside, where a deserted square, abandoned school and derelict houses offer an eerie glimpse into the future of a country at risk of population collapse.
Lasta is just one of hundreds of depopulated or abandoned “ghost” towns and villages scattered across Greece, in an all too visible marker of years of declining births, economic hardship and mass emigration.

It's a dollar. Do it even for the chance it's not BS. You spend 60x that much in going out to eat vs cooking at home for a family in one night.

They are old, dilapidated, full of mold, etc. There's a reason they're trying to hook foreigners with a gimmick to unload them.
And there's strict rules about knocking them down. They're hoping a foreigner buys it and destroys it. Then, gets penalized out the arse by the local government. Then, they can buy the property and rebuild without heavy restrictions. The people and the government are all in on the scam.

I looked into one euro homes before. The strings attached are pretty prohibitive for an American, and the locations mostly suck: extremely remote and far from water). I mean, you’re usually dealing with decaying ruins, so it’s not exactly a weekend warrior project.
It’s not a scam, just not a realistic endeavor for the overwhelming majority of people, hence why these homes became abandoned ruins in the first place.

The rural Japan ones are usually in much better condition. The main issue there is Japan’s visa/immigration laws.

They are really cheap. My law partner bought a house for almost nothing and is planning on retiring there.
