Yeeeeah! So, my first Italian lesson is over and I’m very happy about it! (Not that it’s over, I’m happy to learn Italian). My plan is to talk with my neighbors - Italians - in Rovinj (bilingual city, but majority of domestic inhabitants speaks Italian).

So, when it comes to Rovinj, it’s probably worth mentioning that I have another strange passion: screening of the Croatian real estate market. Yes, it’s a passion. I can’t help myself. I’m not in the real estate business in any way, but almost every day I browse Internet in quest for interesting investment opportunities. I know, it doesn’t make much sense to spend so much time just screening the real estate offerings when I don’t really have enough money to buy what I want but still … I like to fantasize. And this passion of mine resulted in knowledge. After years and years of researching and screening (not just Internet but also real estate magazines, even the small local ones …) I came to a stage where I collected enough knowledge that I’m capable of identifying really bargain prices on Istria real estates.

Now, just one last step, collecting enough money not just to buy a little hacienda of mine buy also to adapt it.

Anyways, because of all this, I’ve been thinking lately of starting a blog on a subject: Real Estate in Croatia. It is quite a business, especially in last few years. The real estate prices have gone up high and on the coast, especially Istria they still did not stop soaring. There are probably thousands of Real Estate agencies in Croatia. It’s a small country but still everyone wants to make money on this market. And although I do collect loads of related data, it’s purely for my own pleasure. People suggest that I should open a Real Estate Agency. But it’s not for me. I just lack the patience that is required when dealing with lot of different kind of people. Also, I am not a seller. Can’t sell anything really. So, this passion of mine will remain just a passion, but I could really start a blog about it because It’s a pity that I keep all this research results for myself as I ain’t doing anything with it anyway.

I mean I spend like 2-3 hours, often more, just doing a research on Istria Real Estate. I filter out 2 or 3 really good offerings, show them to my husband and that’s where it all ends. Hours and days of research are just wasted. But if I put it on blog, maybe someone could make a use of it.

Ideal solution would be to join a affiliate program. But, in Croatia there is a total of two affiliation programs Adriatica and Croata.

All in all, this idea is worth thinking about. Once it might represent another step towards 404039!

And, slowly but surely, I am starting up my new web homes bsilvia.com and blogffiliate.com
