2 thumbs up!
We are meeting with @azores properties this morning on Faial to look at a dream house!
Thanks for taking the time to go through this information.

I appreciate your honest reviews as always guys.
The Azores is a funny one. On the one hand yes, you have development and tourism and there is plenty interest, but you can't transform a culture overnight and its still Portugal. Its super remote and the local population/lifestyle hasn't adapted to the snappy efficiency which is common in northern Europe and such countries. There is clearly a skills shortage so this should be looked at as an enormous opportunity for local builders to adapt, or for mainland portuguese looking for an opportunity in nature with a constant reliable flow of entrepreneurs and expats who need efficiency, no language barrier and climate specific (breathable/anti humidity) construction.

Happy Birthday dear Carlos. I have Birthday too. I like our canal and I follow your canal from the beginning.
I hope to visit Pico Island for next year.
Have a nice Birthday. Greatings from Germany, Annette

Thanks!

Americans want to be called "expat" because you want to look down on the working the working class,Expat is a word Americans like to use to avoid calling g themselves immigrants they cannot be at the same level as an immigrant that are of inferior races ,I am from Europe/spanish and every country in Europe is considered a immigrant NO MATTER what they do or why they left their homeland , only Americans use that word ,why is not a professional from another country not called an 'Expat?? ,Americans living in Finland refuse being labeled as an immigrant because their arrogance ,their self image of superiority does not fit the idea that that the term immigrant invoke in them which is a highly racialized & class based category ,only Americans have chosen to identify themselves that way but ALL EXPATS are just glorified immigrants ,and the word "expats" is on its way of being abolished….so go ahead say it without feeling shame "I am a proud immigrant" 😊 😁 😆 and if that hurts your American superiority you can go back home

Another great information filled video about the Azores! We really appreciate your dedication putting these together week after week. Would very much be interested in hearing more about the workshop, and since its not likely to land during our visit to Pico in September, a live stream would definitely be a great option. Best Wishes!

Hard to believe that it has been 5 years since we were on the Azores. Loved it. And Pico was our favorite island.

Building there is not fun and I can say this with certainty. It is a huge challenge and one that can, and does, keep people from building a home on Pico. Trades and builders are sorely lacking. If you are looking to build from the ground up (like me) get ready for a long exhausting ride….speaking from experience here.

I would like to hear more of Laura I like your narrative but I don't hear too much of Laura

Great video and I would like to know more about who I need to contact in order to purchase a place as I have three places on Faial I have an interest in. I was looking at going to Faial at the end of August/September.

Thanks I really enjoy your channel. I’m also from pico

My wife and I are both Portuguese citizens we are aware of needing a NIF and an account and having money. We live in Toronto but would we still need a sponsor to get a mortgage in terceira or even just buy the house without a getting a mortgage? We are thinking of retiring there thank you very your time and advice..

My husband and I just want to say thank you for your channel. We discovered you about 1 year ago. Your videos helped cement our plans to move to the Azores. We are currently in the throes of selling our current home and working to solidify a bid on a new home near Nordeste, São Miguel. We are exhausted, stressed, and hopeful. The release of today’s video put the wind back in our sails. So perfectly timed for us. Thank you so much, Carlos and Laura. Best wishes from Wisconsin!

PS, We especially loved the driving video where you stopped for chicken wings at Sal E Braza (sp?) and that talkative parrot took the spotlight. 🤣 So funny!

If you set up a workshop, could you make it a Zoom meeting or Team's meeting as well? I would love to attend virtually.

Finding the right island was easy thanks to you two (and Rahel). I looked at all nine islands and Pico is a diamond among rubys.

One thing we have been told is non-Europeans need to have 50% down payment to qualify for a loan. Quite different than the 20% in North America.

I hope to make it back to Pico next summer god willing. I really enjoy your channel and maybe one day I will buy a property there. We sold the house I was born in there years ago.

Hi, in Pico are there some shop for solar panel for water and elettricity?
