House for 1 euro in France. An unusual Scheme for buying real estate for 1 euro
I always say that it’s abnormal to have such high real estate prices in Europe. Do we have to work half our lives just to get our four walls? I don’t agree with that. That’s why I’m interested in and thoroughly study all projects related to the 1 euro house in France, or other ways to acquire affordable property.
The big problem is that most of these programs are not at all fun, unlike the 1 euro house in Italy. Have you ever seen a popular prime-time show about dealing with bureaucracy to fill out tons of paperwork? I haven’t. People don’t enjoy that. It’s boring.
But the 1 euro house is a different story. People want to know how to “buy a house for 1 euro in France” or want to find “maison 1€ France”. And do you think it’s just about the low price? No! In addition to everything, it’s also an amazing story!
Next, I’ll tell you where and how to buy houses for 1 euro in France.
Don’t make it boring and use every opportunity! Advice on how to buy a house for 1 euro in France. Here is a clear list with the following goals:
- Help you make it as profitable as possible.
- Make new acquaintances and gain new experiences.
- Go beyond what you’ve done before.
If you’re not very interested, just skip to the end of the article where you’ll find all the links and a couple of success stories. But if you’re ready to try what I’ve written above, keep reading.
We start from the fact that we have a limited budget and need to somehow solve this issue. Can you print euros? I can’t. So, we need to look for a sponsor, investor, or at least free but quality building materials. The algorithm is as follows:
My Scheme for Buying a House for 1 Euro in France
- Determine which abandoned house in France you are buying. They are all now called euro real estate or 1 euro maison France. In our case, you need to be bolder — go to the mayor’s office and say: “I bought your dilapidated property. Soon, a very popular video content will be shot here about this wonderful story.” I think the city authorities will be very happy about this wonderful social project. When are your mayoral elections? Wouldn’t you like free advertising and tourist attention? I’ll say right away, it should be a small French town (the choice of which determines the success of the event).
2. Open Google and look for magazines that have written on this topic, for example, about 1 euro houses in Italy or France (these are lifestyle, travel, etc. magazines). Then write to their editorial offices and arrange for an exclusive interview or a small video story about your story. Be convincing — our goal is to save money.
3. So, let’s assume you got a positive response. Call your builder friend or go to a large construction hypermarket and compile a big list of manufacturing companies you could potentially collaborate with. Do the same with the list of interior designers — believe me, many of them make a profit from the construction companies whose materials they use, and they might be able to offer something. The goal is to get their materials or services for free in exchange for advertising. (Remember, you already have preliminary agreements with the press.)
Don’t want to make calls yourself? You don’t need to. Hire someone or ask a talkative friend. You are the inspirer, don’t take on monotonous work — it drains your energy. Remember, there will be rejections — these rejections should not be handled by you. Your task is to focus on opportunities. I’m sure some companies will say “no budget”, while others will say, “Let’s try.” Once one company gets on board, others will follow. Don’t forget to mention that you are collaborating with the press and city authorities.
4. Speaking of designers, many of them need portfolios (especially beginners). Choose someone with energy in their eyes. I’m sure the designer will create many videos that you can also use together.
So, let’s assume you start having some groundwork. This is the press, designer, building materials. Now the main thing is to catch the big fish — the main sponsor. We need live money. We need to find someone who will pay us for building our house. Sounds funny, doesn’t it? Of course, if you are lucky with the designer and the press, your sponsor could be a construction company interested in advertising services or materials.
But if you are not lucky, crowdfunding or Airbnb will come to the rescue. You need to make a tourist magnet out of several rooms so that people want to pay for their rent in advance. They must be unusual! To get these bookings, you need something that attracts attention. Personally, I would study the museums of famous personalities of the 18th-19th centuries (Marc Chagall or Van Gogh). Recreate their room in detail, add some entertainment, and see what happens. I’m sure the designer will help you with this.
Is this not what you expected? Do you have another way to get a house almost for free?
If not, then I will prepare the second part of the article about 1 euro houses in France and my cunning renovation of them. In the meantime, for the skeptics, I’ll leave a link to an article
