Apparently you can get run down houses for $1.05 in Italy, and fix them up and live there. Pretty hype.
it’s true but it’s insanely difficult getting them and they are usually in unliveable condition in places often hard to reach in the southern part of italy
this probably explains why I've never heard of that, are there actually any in the northern part of italy?
I found this map of towns that do it:
Looks like they’re mostly in the south, but a few in the North.
