Hello! Awe thanks guys! We appreciate that! The back patio is amazing. Honestly it has such a luxurious feel back there and so private! I love that! Thanks for watching and for your kind comment. Cheers! M&D
Hi Doug & Monique, back to your channel after a hiatus and enjoying the real estate reviews. You are becoming very good salespeople! Also your videographic skills are improving! Way to go!
Hello! Welcome back! Thank you for returning and for your kind comment. We love looking at and showcasing properties. Doug works hard on his editing and video skills- he appreciates the comment. Thanks for watching! Cheers! M&D
Funnily enough, I saw this listing on Idealista a few weeks ago when I was on my “house, house, house” phase - and immediately liked it, shared it with Patty and remarked how perfect it would be for Patty. Looks even better in your video. That said, it’s pretty high up in Funchal (above the Botanical Garden but not Monte) and I wonder if that’s a problem with a pool. ;-) Fireworks party central!
Hello! It’s a great property with grass and an amazing pool. The sun shines on the pool area all afternoon. It’s for sure for someone who wants space outside that’s quiet, access to a pool and BBQ, accessibility access and large rooms. Absolutely would be amazing for NYE fireworks 💥- you’re right! Thanks for watching! Cheers! M&D Hope
Hi Doug and Monique, my husband and I are really enjoying your real estate videos! We are planning to retire in 5 years and are looking to invest in a property in Madeira! Do you recommend a real estate agent? We're in Canada, a little hard to view properties from here 😊 so we look forward to your videos every week ! Obrigada e Beijinhos!
Hello! That’s great that you’re planning ahead! Smart!! 😁Please send us an email @ Trackusdownbusiness@gmail.com. Maybe we can help you out! Thanks for watching fellow Canadians! Cheers! M&D
Hello- is your name Christina?? We received an email in our spam folder and Doug deleted it. Now I’m wondering if it was from you! 😀 If it was please send another one! lol! Sorry! M
That is indeed a great property priced extremely reasonably. A year ago I would have whisked out my cheque book immediately as it is well within my 400K euro budget. Alas, the non habitual resident (NHR) tax incentive is no more and I would end up paying more tax (25% flat rate) than I do in the UK if I chose to retire there. Glad that our friendly vloggers Doug and Monique secured their foothold in Madeira before this transpired.
Hello! Thanks for watching and for sharing your thoughts. You can still have a holiday home here on the island! 🏝️ Or come for a wonderful holiday! Cheers! M&D
Hi, your Norwegian subscriber checking in again. Great to see you showing affordable places. We`we actually looked at this specific one. But can you do a video explaining the rules on A.L/AirBnB for people like us who like to slow-start our second half of life, by investing in a property that also can be short time rented until we have the opportunity to take the full plunge like you guys did? It seems a bit risky investing in something that only can be rented for minimum 30-days. Loved the idea on the "Melrose Place" 3 apartment building. We would have bought it if the we were fully ready for the plunge!
Hello! Thank you for watching and for your kind comment! ☀️Madeira still does give AL licences unlike many other parts of Portugal. The apartment we showed used to allow AL but is now only allowing mid term and long term rentals. The condo boards of condos can make a decision to only allow so may ALs or none at all. So if you were planned to buy and rent out until you were ready to make the move , and you wanted to airbnb your property- you would need to begin with that in mind. Some people are very happy with midterm rentals and long term as well. It all depends. The market is very high for rentals here and people snap them up. If you’re seriously interested in property you can send us an email and maybe we can help. Thanks again for watching! Cheers! M&D
Hello! Thanks for watching and we are always looking for affordable options to showcase. We have done others around this price point as well. Cheers! M&D
Great modern Condo. Thanks for bringing to us what's out there. May I ask how much they typically charge for a minimum 30 day rental if I were to rent it?
Hello! Honestly we have no idea. 🤷🏻♀️ Now that it’s for sale it’s no longer for rent. We will see what the new owner will decide. They may choose to live in it full time or rent it out. If we find out they are renting it- I’ll get back to you! Thanks for watching! Cheers! M&D
Hello! That’s great that you’re coming to Madeira! You’ll fall in love with the island. 🏝️ You can send us an email at trackusdownbusiness@gmail.com. Thanks for watching! Cheers! M&D
I have noticed that ground floor apartments seem to have more availability than their counterparts. Some people are not comfortable with the ground floor as there is a mindset that it may be a security risk. I doubt that is an issue in Madeira but as an American I think it is a possibility.
Hello! Yes exactly - many places that would be true in North America. Absolutely not the case here in Madeira. Some people want the higher floors for a better view here. However there is something to be said for a cosy balcony and a glass of wine! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers! M&D
Very nice apartment but a long, steep way from the town, so a car is absolutely essential. I wonder how much a similar property, much closer to the sea (where a car is not a prerequisite) would cost both to buy and to rent longer term? Many thanks.
Hello! It all depends what you like. A little higher up you do need a car but it’s quieter and more affordable. Prices increase closer to the sea. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Cheers! M&D
Hi Doug & Monique, it's Greg (subcrber #72). Thank you very much for the great video! We're planning our visit this fall, and would love your real estate agents referral if possible. What's the best way to communicate? Thanks again!
Hello Subscriber 72!! You’re our favorite sub!! So much better than that #73 sub! lol 😂 Hi Greg- and thank you for being a long time viewer of TUD. We appreciate you being here and we are happy you find value in our content. You can send us an email at Trackusdownbusiness @gmail.com . Chat with you there. Cheers! M&D
Hello! This condo in the video is for sale currently and no longer renting. If you’re interested in purchasing the condo send us an email. Thanks for watching! Cheers! M&D
Hi, off topic, were you able to renew your residency card online? Also, are you taking a PLA course for citizenship? I’m asking this out of the blue, but things seem to have taken a turn for the worse with AIMA. I continue to “slow travel” throughout Portugal while my turn comes to renew…. Vilamoura one month, Viana do castelo for another month… so far so good, enjoying the moment. I’m planning on including Madeira for a month next year. Still unsure of what we will do. Cheers
Hello! No worries we can answer your questions. 😀We did renew our residency last fall online and it was smooth and quick. We are going to take a year long language course to get the A2 designation we need for citizenship when we are eligible. Love Vilamora and Viana de Costello- you’re hitting some great places. Check out our RV videos - we were there last fall. If you can - do add Madeira to your list. It’s magical. Thanks for watching! Cheers! M&D
I think it's not a good vacation place, as it feels like a semi-basement. It's expensive for this kind of property and without a sea view as in Portugal the salaries are not high enough. Great video. Greeting from Bulgaria
Hello Bulgaria! This property has been highly rentable with excellent reviews. People love the large space and quiet neighborhood as well as the pool and amazing views. It is not semi basement at all- ground floor which makes it accessible for all. The back courtyard feels like a little paradise. Thanks for watching! Cheers! M&D
Hello! I do believe there is an HOA. I can’t remember exactly the cost but I think under 100€. If you’re seriously interested in the property send us an email and we’ll find out for you. Thanks for the reminder that that’s something we should mention. Appreciate it. Cheers! M&D
@TrackUsDown-l2s I have been watching property prices in Madeira for the last 10 years and I have not seen such a price rise compared to most places in Europe. It's disgusting how locals are being priced out. Corrupt politicians are to blame.
Great video, you showcase the condo beautifully. The private back patio is absolutely a bonus. You guys rock!

What a gem!
Hello Miranda! Yes- it’s a little gem for the right buyer! I would never leave the private courtyard!! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers! M&D
Wow that's a great apt and with all that outdoor patio space! Great price too for all that. Love the large fridge and the huge living/dining area!
Hello Lisa! Yes someone is getting a gem! Thanks for watching and for your kind comment. Cheers! M&D

Hello guys. That is a nice apartment. Bearing in mind it is in Funchal, that apartment it is not too expensive.
Hello Rui! Exactly for those who want to live in Funchal it’s an affordable option. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Cheers! M&D

Hi D&M I would also be interested to find out about the rental costs.
