Bulgaria is the world’s fastest-shrinking country
A side effect of a stagnant economy and population shrinkage is that Bulgarian property is really cheap. You can purchase a modern flat starting around $15,000 (or rent for really cheap) in a ski community with a very strong remote worker presence (Bansko).<p>If you do this right, you can also become a resident and benefit from a flat 10% income tax which is lowest in the EU. No affiliation; I just find this type of arbitrage fascinating (and am currently doing something similar on the Black Sea coast of a different non-eu country).<p>- <a href="https://www.travelingwithkristin.com/digital-nomad-blog/2019/1/23/my-150month-digital-nomad-apartment-in-bulgaria" rel="nofollow">https://www.travelingwithkristin.com/digital-nomad-blog/2019...</a><p>- <a href="https://medium.com/@matthiasezeitler/where-nomads-can-buy-an-apartment-for-10k-to-have-a-base-in-europe-2859ae7a0bf9" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/@matthiasezeitler/where-nomads-can-buy-an...</a><p>- <a href="https://medium.com/@coworkingbansko/how-any-non-eu-citizen-become-a-resident-in-bansko-bulgaria-3ff38a85d163" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/@coworkingbansko/how-any-non-eu-citizen-b...</a><p>- <a href="https://medium.com/@coworkingbansko/getting-bulgarian-tax-residency-for-digital-nomads-6e6a71b51ff0" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/@coworkingbansko/getting-bulgarian-tax-re...</a>
