A note from the author
Why I created this guide
I have spent years looking at Athens apartments not simply as homes, but as projects.
Which property should you buy? How much should you renovate? Should you rent short-term, mid-term, or prepare for resale? And how do you control the process from acquisition through renovation and eventual exit?
Through Alba Residences, I have worked across property acquisition, renovation, furnishing, rental positioning and resale strategy.
I created this guide to bring that experience into one practical framework that investors and property owners can actually use.
