“I have nowhere in Los Angeles, this is a very long time and something I really call the sucking house says, SCOTT CNBC.
SCOTT is impossible to buy in California, so it began to look at other states such as the Florida inhabited by his family. Quickly realized that he could not find a job in accordance with the existing lifestyle.
Scott was disappointed in the quality of life in the United States and set the sights in Mexico, Portuguese and Italy because it is with a similar air in California.

Townhouse was 32000 euros or US $ 34,905 in the market. The previous owner said that the price was reduced due to the need to repair the hot water.
“It turned out to be completely furnished and only went out to a different part of Italy and experiencing problems that sell at home,” he said. “I really gave it because there’s nothing wrong with it to replace some of the house.”
Scott asked $ 34,905 or an additional 4,200 euros or $ 4,581 to the full-time for closing costs.
SCOTT, which did not want to exhaust his deposit, provided an individual loan of $ 20,000 from a local bank to help you buy the house according to the documents examined by CNBC.
Scott was closed in the city in August 2022, and for the first time for the first time, he flew to see for the first time and won the first time.

The previous owner told Scott that the price of the house was lowered because the SCOTT needs repair.

The original plan for Scott’s home was to rent it, but he realized that he did not want to deal with tenants or short-term tenants.
“Only the value of the empty, probably leases, and someone would prefer to break something,” he says. “I am a kind of protector in my house.”
Scott is now visiting Italy twice a year and uses the settlement as a holiday house, but now trying to provide a digital nomadic visa to stay in the country for a while. In 2024, Italy began “visa for remote workers” allowing a year residency for highly qualified professionals for high-qualified professionals to work as a worker or a freelancer as employees.
“I hope at a time at a time
“I think of me as a freelancer, I think it’s like a long-term investment, I have something I have, and I have something old I have a place to call myself when I’m old.”
The landscape from Townhouse was the main sale point for Scott.

Scott says that even if it’s excited when you can’t get a house, because it can only do so outside the country where he can do it outside the United States and grow outside the United States.
“It’s sad because I kept me here.” It’s sad to know that my parents can get a house and my grandparents can be a house, but with inflation, no longer accessible to my generation.
Scott still lives in Los Angeles, now in a room in a single room apartment, including a room in a single room. It is still freelancing, but continues to create content and work on social media.
Although it tries to understand how much time it will spend in the Italian house, Something is sure that it is not a plan to buy a house in America.
