About Me

My name is Chris and I'm originally from the United States. My wife and I love finding affordable dream homes all over Europe! Rather than keep all the cool homes we find to ourselves, I've decided to share them with the world. We started Cheap Property Spain early in 2021 and have enjoyed meeting thousands of people like us dreaming of moving to Spain. We now cover France, Spain, Italy, and the Balkans. I hope you enjoy this newsletter and find it useful in your journey.

I am not a real estate agent and do not receive commission or payment for any of the properties discussed on this site or in our newsletter.
