Good afternoon, Quick question for those that are US citizens and own property that is rented through Airbnb. I will be putting my home up for rental in the Lucca area. After much reading I can see that general homeowners insurance is not the cu

Question for those that have AirBnB property. Could you tell me what type of insurance you have for your property? I had wanted to form an LLC and purchase the property through the LLC but was unable to do that.

Hi all. I am currently renovating an old barn into a home near Lucca. Was wondering if anyone knows if this is true: Was told by the electrician that there is a law that you must install television and telephone outlets in every room.

Hi. I have recently purchased a property in my name near Lucca. Is it easy to transfer the property to my LLC? In the US I would just complete a quit claim deed but do not know if it is as easy in Italy. Thanks for your time

Hi NickJust realized I never responded. Thanks for the info. Enjoy your day!!!
Thanks for your quick reply!!! Have a great night
Thank you for your response. As always, it is so nice when everyone shares their knowledge and experience. I am curious about one thing. If a home is rented and the owner is a US citizen and payments are made to a US bank account, how is that income reported in Italy? In the US , we and the IRS receive a 1099 as the payments are considered income (if using a service such as airbnb) but I am not what the Italian government would receive. Thanks for any info you may have
Hi Lisa,I am in the same boat as you are. US citizen with a property in Italy that I will be renting out. I have been handling everything by the seat of my pants--not really sure what I am doing nor who I have to pay for what. I plan on reading the messages you get to see what type of advice is out there. If I stumble upon anything I will be sure to pass it on. Have a great night
Yes I like the idea of paying only when at the house. I'm wondering if I would get the same result if I just get a sims card while in Italy for my iphone and then use it as a hotspot. I'm not that techie, so I will ask around.But I did want to ask another question. We have been having quite a bit of trouble getting people to work on our house. It has been the same issues with the plumber, the electrician, door and window guy, roofer.... It is difficult to have them come out to give a quote. If they do, it is difficult to get them to come out and actually do the job. And if we have given them a deposit, we may not see them for a good month. The jobs are all big, so there is alot of money to be made. So--is this customary in Italy. Should I just learn to grin and bear it??? Thanks again!
Hi JanJ, Thanks for your response. I like that the unit is not too costly and from the reviews it seems to work well. I'm really not on the phone/computer that much, but at times I feel so isolated and out of sorts. This should help. I am going to check out getting wifi for the house, but I think my chances are rather slim. This will definetly be made backup plan :) Thanks again for the info. Have a great day!!!
Hi Steve,Just wanted to thank you for your quick response. Appreciate you taking the time to respond. I will be in Italy at the end of March and will check into those companies. Have a great dayMichelle
Thank you Have a great day!!!
Thank you! Didn't seem to make any sense to me. Guess I'll be looking for a new electrican :)
Good Morning--Truthfully I did not use one as my purchase was with an Italian resident. It does seem to be difficult to know whom to trust. Good luck in your search!!!!!
