This week, we gathered a room full of developers and investors, each with completely different business models, yet all driven by the same goal: to build better, smarter, and more aligned real estate projects in Portugal. Listening to everyone share their perspectives, challenges, and lessons was truly inspiring. Moments like this are exactly what the Portugal Real Estate Investing Club is about: real conversations, genuine connections, and shared vision among people shaping the future of real estate in Portugal. Thank you to everyone who joined us that night, and to everyone here in the Club who keeps this community growing with purpose and alignment. Let’s keep the conversation going: 💬 What stood out to you most from the event or from recent discussions in the Club?

Recently, I came across an ad from a real estate crowdfunding platform promising investors up to 10% interest per year. But here’s what most people don’t see behind the scenes: the same platform offered me - as a developer - funding at 19% interest. So I asked myself: what’s the real advantage for investors here? If the platform takes almost half the value as margin, who really wins? That’s when I realized something simple: Investors deserve direct access to real projects and real developers - not layers of intermediaries, fees, and distance. And that’s exactly what we’ve built at GlobalNest Portugal. We structure partnerships with co-developers, constructors, and investors, inside the same companies that manage the projects. My team controls the business end to end - from acquisition to construction and sales - which allows us to de-risk the process and scale sustainably. In just a year, I went from doing a few apartment flips to managing a portfolio of 35 units across Portugal - and growing. Our investors join with tickets starting at €50,000, earning +20% fixed annual returns. And more importantly - they know who’s behind the projects, how the money is managed, and what values drive the business. Because investment isn’t only about numbers. It’s about trust, transparency, and energetic alignment - the foundation of every successful partnership. If you’re an investor looking for structured, direct, and fully transparent opportunities in Portugal - let’s talk.

According to Eurostat, Portugal ranks last in new construction per 1,000 inhabitants across the EU. At the same time, housing prices have increased by 143% since 2015, more than three times the European average. That imbalance between limited supply and growing demand continues to drive price resilience and investor interest. 💡 For investors, this creates opportunity on two fronts: 🏗️ New Construction - In highly urbanized areas like Lisbon and Porto, where available land is limited and demand remains strong, new developments are essential to increase supply and capture long-term appreciation. 🏚️ Rehabilitation & Redevelopment - Along the Silver Coast and emerging regions, restoring existing assets remains one of the most effective ways to unlock value quickly and sustainably. Both paths are now supported by new government measures aimed at boosting housing supply and attracting international developers. 💬 What This Means for Investors When you look past the headlines, Portugal’s fundamentals remain strong: ✅ Limited overall supply ✅ Consistent domestic and international demand ✅ Institutional and foreign capital is entering despite tax adjustments Regulation changes may slow speculative buying, but they reward structured and transparent investment models with secured exits and fixed returns, such as our CAEP developments

The most meaningful ideas rarely come from formal meetings. They come from connection. So on 26 November, I’m bringing that energy together - a Private Investor Dinner at @Nina - Brunch & Specialty Coffee in Lisbon. Not a pitch night. A conversation between developers, investors, and family offices with portfolios above €1M, who value transparency, structure, and aligned partnerships. Because the best business conversations don’t happen in boardrooms. They happen around a dinner table. ✨ Limited seats - message me if this resonates.

Portugal is preparing to increase the property transfer tax (IMT) for non-resident buyers, a move aimed at cooling demand and easing housing pressure. But here’s what most people miss 👇 Foreigners represent only around 5% of total transactions, meaning this adjustment is more political than structural. For serious investors, it’s not a red flag; it’s a reminder to focus on structured investments where returns stem from development value and strategy, rather than speculation. 👉 In short: policy shifts don’t kill good projects, they highlight the need for solid structures like CAEP.
