Should I look for investment for a small eco-retreat project in rural Portugal?

Hey everyone, I’m Portuguese and I own 2.5 acres of land in the mountains, near a river, with one derelict building on it. My goal is to turn it into a small eco-retreat: restore the derelict house and add a few shales/cabins for nature tourism. There’s also surrounding land I’d like to buy later.

Before I go too far, I’m trying to understand whether getting investment is a realistic or smart option for a project like this.

I’d love advice on things like:

• Do small rural tourism projects in Portugal usually attract investors, or do they expect full control/large scale?

• Would I need a full business plan and municipal approval before even approaching investors?

• Is it better to bootstrap slowly or look for a partner to speed up development?

• Any experiences with private investors, government support, or EU tourism incentives?

• What are the downsides of bringing in outside money for this type of project?

If anyone has experience with rural tourism, small resorts, eco-projects, or investment in Portugal, I’d really appreciate your insights.

Thanks!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
