The Golden Ticket: EU Residency & The Reality of Investing in Greece

What if your next real estate deal came with a "dual-return"—not just a property, but a powerful residency in the European Union? For years, that's been the unique proposition of Greece. But with massive new rule changes for 2025, is this golden opportunity starting to lose its shine?

On this episode (Ep 66) of the 5-Minute PRIME Podcast, host Martin Maxwell continues the journey into international real estate with a critical look at Greece. We're breaking down the new, tiered investment thresholds, the game-changing ban on short-term rentals, and the essential question every investor must now ask: are you buying a great property, or just a very expensive passport?
