I've started my journey in Bulgaria without much experience about 7 years ago. It all started when my husband and I wanted to buy an apartment in Israel. We found a project that suited us, we registered, and after the project received a building permit, we paid an initial deposit of 25% of the property's price and waited the period of time written in the contract. After the waiting period was over, it was time to go to the bank and ask for financing. I'm sure that some of you have been in a similar situation - sitting in front of a banker and feeling that your whole life rests in the palm of his hand. On the one hand, the excitement is at its peak, on the other, the fear of what will or may not happen. After a few days we received a call from the banker who told us that there was approval for 50% financing and we would have to bring another 25% from home because we are already relatively old. To us that sounded like an impossible task.
After calculations and flow management that we performed with a detailed business plan, we came to the conclusion that we are not ready to live under such a heavy financial burden for 4 walls. Many things can happen along the way (employment, wages, closures, war), and we were less than satisfied with the situation of financing 50% from the bank and bringing 50% from our own pockets.
We finally decided to cancel the deal, paid a fine, and chose to look into other options. We looked for offers that fit the budget we have and came across ads for apartments for living and investment abroad. Like all Israelis, our eyes were drawn to the United States, but it is really far from me and I am a person who likes my things to be around me or nearby.
We looked at several countries and after doing some research I came to the conclusion that Bulgaria is among the cheapest countries in the field of real estate with a variety of interesting options. I called and told him "Pack your bags, were flying to Burgas, Bulgaria!."
Very quickly we found a beautiful apartment in an apartment complex with parking, a pool, a spa center, playgrounds for children, located near shopping centers and educational institutions, and all this for the price of a luxury car in Israel.
I decided to establish "Dira Bulgarit - Israeli real estate in Bulgaria" to accompany Israeli investors who want to purchase an apartment in Bulgaria and go through the process pleasantly, with certainty and transparency. And for this purpose I've studied the country, the regulations, what is allowed and what is not, I created business relationships, built a system of cooperation throughout the country all with the purpose of help you become an owner of an apartment in Bulgaria with a complete sense of security, that there's someone who you can relay on, speaks your language and most importantly, looks after your interests, We will accompany you throughout the process hand in hand until you receive the key to the apartment of your dreams.
