Vitiano, maison de charme. Investment opportunity in the heart of Italy.


Scrivetemi per ulteriori dettagli

The property of PODERE VITIANO is located on 
one of the highest peaks of the hills 
surrounding Orvieto, a medieval hilltop town 
about 60 miles north of Roma, and hidden in an 
oak and olive tree wood. 
It began as a stone tower, dating approximately 
from the year 1000, a classic military outpost 
for sighting and defense of the underlying 
valley, an obligatory passageway to Roma. 
PODERE VITIANO, in its slow journey through 
centuries mirrored the events of local history 
and of Umbria , changing in response to 
changes. 
First it was a military outpost, then a residence 
of nobles and clergy and lastly a farmhouse. 
During these times, the master house and the 
guest rooms were added to the TOWER. 
A conservative restoration has been done by the actual owner. Property 
The stone walls, terracotta floors, the wooden ceilings, are all made with original or 
recuperated materials and they contribute to the elegant atmosphere of these sites, where 
time seems to flow more slowly, without the hustle and bustle of modern times. 
The road to PODERE VITIANO is private and runs through an oak wood that is century old. 
The surrounding land is 20.000 square meters of olive and oak trees, orchards, woods, lawns 
and the aroma of rosemary fills the air. 
The Tower holds a suite of extraordinary beauty, made up of 
3 floors. 
First floor is a reading room and a leisure area that also 
includes a small but well equipped kitchen area. 
The view of the Orvieto Valley from the panoramic window 
is unique. 
Second floor has the double bedroom and bathroom with 
shower. The bathroom features hand‐made bricks. 
Third floor is a private terrace, solarium and panoramic 360° 
view.

5 NEED-TO-KNOWS BEFORE BUYING A FSBO HOME

REBAC Staff Posted: 09/11/2017


On average, only 10 to 12 percent of homeowners sell their home without using a listing agent. As a buyer, there are a number of reasons for looking into for sale by owner (FSBO) homes, potentially including a lower price and the ability to speak directly with the seller about the home and the neighborhood.
There are also, however, numerous and often-overlooked aspects of buying a FSBO home that can more than offset these benefits—especially if you are also acting on your own. Be on the lookout for these potential pitfalls:

1. Full disclosure may not occur
A sale between two individuals may not include all the seller’s disclosures required by law when using a licensed real estate agent. For example, you may not know if the home had been used as a meth lab, if a murder took place inside the dwelling, if the house suffered fire or water damage, or if the property doesn’t conform to current zoning laws.
In fact, the owner may have decided to sell on his/her own specifically to avoid certain disclosure requirements mandated by your state’s real estate license laws.
2. You may pay too much
Even though many buyers think they’ll have more room to negotiate on the price of a FSBO home (because the seller isn’t paying a commission to a listing agent), it may be more accurate to say that the owner is pricing their home without full knowledge of comparable properties and current market dynamics (because only licensed real estate agents have full access to the local Multiple Listing Service).
In the case of a FSBO home, this may work to your advantage—or to your disadvantage. The only way to know, with certainty, is to engage a professional buyer’s agent to represent and assist you with pricing and negotiating details.
3. You could get “stuck” with the house
If an attorney or a buyer’s representative isn’t assisting you with important contract details, including contingencies that would release you from the sales contract (such as a home inspection clause), you could find yourself forced to complete the purchase. To help prevent such problems, some states actually require attorneys to be involved in all real estate transactions.
4. You could lose your security deposit
If the seller requires “up front” or earnest money, make sure this is placed into an escrow account through your financial institution or lender, so your deposit can be refunded if the transaction does not proceed. (Who will pay the fees associated with setting up this account will be one of many negotiating details.) Do NOT give earnest money directly to the seller.
5. Closing costs can catch you unaware
Without a buyer’s agent to help identify and negotiate the “who pays for what” at closing, you could end up shouldering most or even all of the closing fees and expenses, including (but not limited to):
  • Appraisal costs
  • Transfer taxes
  • Document preparation fees
  • Notary fees
  • Delinquent taxes
  • HOA dues (current and past)
  • Pest inspection fees
  • Title search fees
  • Owner’s title insurance policy
Purchasing a FSBO home is a personal decision. If you DO decide to buy one without representation by a buyer’s agent, be sure you take these additional steps, at a minimum, to protect yourself:
  • Get a home inspection
  • Get all agreements in writing
  • Determine who will pay each fee related to closing
  • Hire an attorney to review the sales contract and assist with the closing
  • Specify the date you will take possession in the contract
  • Order a Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange (CLUE) report, which will disclose any claims filed on a home in the previous five years.
Also, if you are emotionally attached to the house, be sure to keep your sentiments to yourself. If the seller picks up on this, it will seriously limit your bargaining power on price, repairs and other contingencies.
A Better FSBO Option?
Does buying a FSBO home on your own sound a little less appealing? Indeed, the best way to protect yourself, get a fair price, and ensure the transaction proceeds in a professional manner is to work with an Accredited Buyer’s Representative.
Your buyer’s rep may also be able to convince the seller to pay their commission. After all, by bringing an eligible buyer to the table and handling some of the transaction paperwork, the seller also benefits from a buyer’s rep’s involvement.

County Commission passes new short term rental regulations, including limits on guests

Mario Mateo Miami Herald http://www.miamiherald.com/news/business/article179398156.html


Miami-Dade County is one of the top five Airbnb destinations in the country, with 6,800 hosts renting their homes. But for the past year, Miami Beach has been fining locals who rent on platforms like Airbnb $20,000 for each violation.

Hosts for Airbnb and other short-term rental companies face a series of new regulations following Tuesday’s passage of a new ordinance indicated to preserve the integrity of county neighborhoods and preserve safety while allowing renters to operate legally in unincorporated Miami-Dade.

Airbnb, the largest player in the short-term rental space, now counts Miami-Dade among its top five regions in the country. Since the county reached a taxing agreement with the platform effective May 1, Miami-Dade has collected more than $2 million in taxes from Airbnb renters.

The ordinance, introduced by Commissioner Sally Heyman and fine-tuned over six months, would apply to 940 active Airbnb hosts, along with hosts on HomeAway, VRBO and other platforms. According to the new ordinance, hosts must sign up for a certificate of use, register for a business tax receipt, screen for sexual offenders and enforce a number of “vacation rental standards” on their guests.

“Airbnb now has an ability to enter into an agreement with Miami-Dade County to bring hosts under compliance, which is a good thing,” said Tom Martinelli, head of public policy in Florida for Airbnb. “We do have some legal concerns and we are going to explore those, but I think this is an improvement” over previously proposed rules.

The ordinance goes into effect in 90 days.

The new requirements include:

▪ Hosts must apply for a certificate of use, which would require a “minimal” application fee, Heyman said. Applicants will have to provide contact information for the property owner (who is also liable for any violations) and the short-term rental host, as well as the platform where the vacation rental will be listed.

In their applications, hosts will also have to certify that they will be collecting and remitting local tourist and state taxes, have permission from the property owner to rent short-term, carry insurance coverage on the property and have a vacation rental license with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Hosts will also have to indicate whether they are renting a room, rooms or an entire dwelling and will have to verify how many times that property was used as a vacation rental in the previous year.

Hosts will also have to acknowledge that the property owner is aware he or she risks losing a homestead exemption by renting short-term.

The certificate of use must be renewed annually and will be revoked, with few exceptions, if the property has three or more violations in the preceding 12 months.

▪ Hosts must notify renters of all government rules and the limitations at the vacation rental in terms of access for disabled visitors. Hosts must also post the certificate of use and their contact information inside the rental.

▪ If applicable, hosts must notify their homeowners association or condo association that they are renting the property short-term and adhere to the association or board’s vacation rental policies.

▪ If a host lives 2,500 feet from a school, he or she will be required to ensure, via a nationwide search that can be conducted by the Miami-Dade County Police Department, that a prospective guest is not a registered sexual offender or sexual predator. Registered sexual offenders or predators can’t stay at a rental that is near a school for four days or more in a month.

▪ Hosts must report all issues or violations with the county or police and the corresponding rental platform. They’re expected to be available 24/7 to handle guest issues and must either be on-site or rent the property only if they live there more than six months a year.

▪ Hosts must also maintain a register with the names and dates of all guests who stay at the home or apartment — including people invited to the property by the guests. The maximum overnight occupancy at any short-term rental should not exceed two people per room, plus two per property for a maximum of 12. During the day, capacity is limited to 16 people.

▪ Guests are expected to follow standard garbage procedures, noise restrictions (including no amplified sound outdoors), public nuisance laws and rules for pets, in coordination with the host. Guest parking is limited to two cars at a time on the property or on the street.

Fines for violations range from $100 for a first offense to $2,500 for a third offense within 24 months. Five percent of all money collected from violations or fines will go into Miami-Dade’s Affordable Housing Trust.

Carissimi lettori del blog.


Quando andate all'estero per fare investimenti immobiliari, fatevi consigliare dagli esperti.


A volte, gli immobili d'interesse sembrano un buon affare. La transazione appare semplice e lineare. 
In alcune circostanze il venditore offre incentivi che riteniamo di grande valore.
Mi sono imbattuto in situazioni farraginose che hanno richiesto tempo e denaro per essere rettificate.
Vorrei sottolineare alcuni passaggi essenziali, nonché assolutamente necessari per proteggersi.



  • La compravendita e' composta da due parti con interessi comuni, ma differenti.
  • Il venditore punta a vendere al prezzo più alto possibile.
  • Chi compra desidera abbassare il prezzo, ma anche essere sicuro di ottenere un buon valore per ciò che paga. 
  • Entrambe le parti devono essere seguite e tutelate separatamente dai rispettivi legali.

Il compratore deve assicurarsi che: 
  • La proprietà non abbia vizi apparenti od occulti, fisici o legali.
  • Non vi siano vincoli che impediscano l'uso o l'affitto dell'immobile.
  • Venga accesa una polizza assicurativa che vi protegga da eventuali danni che gli inquilini del vostro appartamento potrebbero provocare a terzi.
  • Le tasse sulla proprietà (tipo IMU) vengano pagate in tempo, ogni anno onde evitare multe.
  • Un buon commercialista si premuri di compilare la dichiarazione dei redditi, anche se non vi sono utili.
  • La proprietà 'venga acquistata da una LLC (=nostra SRL) di cui voi siete gli amministratori
  • Si apra un conto in banca a nome della società LLC con voi come unici firmatari.
  • Le spese condominiali mensili vengano regolarmente pagate e messe in contabilità.
  • Venga redatto un regolare contratto di gestione con persona di fiducia con cui comunicare regolarmente.
  • Il commercialista o l'avvocato spieghi bene come funziona la legge FIRPTA.
  • Al rogito, venga accesa una polizza di assicurazione sul titolo di proprietà.

Altrimenti possono succedere cose cosi':

  • La LLC che acquista l'immobile rimane intestata al broker che rappresenta il venditore.
  • Se si vuole vendere, bisogna darsi da fare per rettificare ogni situazione che impedisce una vendita celere.
  • Il contratto do gestione non viene redatto, ci si accorda verbalmente... da non consigliare.
  • Il manager affitta l'unita', ma senza contratti e non versa gli affitti sul conto del proprietario.
  • L'unita' viene affittata a breve termine benché non sia permesso, con gravi conseguenze, anche per il proprietario.
  • Il manager ingaggia avvocati e commercialisti a lui vicini e gonfia le parcelle.
  • Il manager vota per vostro conto alle assemblee condominiali favorendo il condominio e non i vostri interessi.
  • Le tasse sulla proprietà non vengono pagate in tempo e si incorre in penali.
