Welcome to Flippin with Jim, where building in Portugal is equal parts adventure, comedy, and bureaucratic endurance test.

Thinking about buying a ruin in Portugal? I’ve done it more than once, and lived to tell the tale (barely). Want to figure out renovation in Portugal without losing your sanity? You’re in the right place.

Based on my experience in the Algarve and Silver Coast real estate market, my videos cover the whole journey: mistakes to avoid when buying property in Portugal, how to track down cheap property in Portugal before someone else snags it, and what happens when you trust a contractor who swears your roof will be “done next week.” Spoiler: it won’t.

Whether you’re curious about Portugal real estate, ready to buy a ruin, or need a better understanding of building materials in Portugal, this channel has you covered. Subscribe to learn from my hard-earned lessons and, hopefully, save yourself a few headaches (and euros) along the way.
