Embrace the Italian Dream

Welcome to BradsWorld, your gateway to a fulfilling life in Italy. I’m Brad Allan and my journey from Austin, Texas to the heart of Italy is not just a story of relocation but a testament to a dream turned into reality. With more than 20 years of experience in multifamily real estate investment, a successful nationwide furniture company and my successful transition to the picturesque landscapes of Southern Tuscany, I am here to guide you through your own Italian adventure.

Making the Transition to Italy!

I made the move to full-time living in Italy in 2023. I had spent the last 10 years thinking about my retirement plan. We were looking to our retirement future and wondering how we could live a fulfilling life using only savings with the high cost of health insurance and property taxes in the US. The answer for us was moving to Italy…

I started BradsWorld on YouTube when I began purchasing income properties in Italy. I wanted others to see that it is not impossible to make a better life in a foreign country. We decided to buy these rental properties in Italy to help fund our retirement here. We have already purchased five different luxury apartments in Montepulciano, Tuscany.  My apartments are consistently rented for above average rents to tourists in one of the best wine areas of the world. You can see our rentals on our website www.TuscanPalace.com.

You CAN make your dreams of a better and richer life come true.  I am here to help you in anyway I can!

My YouTube Channel

I use my YouTube channel to discuss the lessons I have learned about doing business here in Italy. It’s really not hard to buy properties here and you don’t even have to be a Italian resident or citizen to do so.

I also use my YouTube channel to showcase properties that I find interesting that are being listed by agents that I trust. All the agents that I deal with must have strong english skills which I think is very important for a seamless transaction here in Italy for my mostly English-speaking viewers. I’m always happy to answer a question via the contact form below. If you have had difficulty finding the correct information on a particular subject, don’t be afraid to reach out. (I will not give accounting, tax or legal advice).

I hope I’m able to help you make your Italian dreams come true in the near future. Never stop dreaming about moving to Italy. It may not happen right away, but you can definitely make it happen in your future. I hope I can help you in some way!

Testimonials

I am a busy doctor in the Eastern United States.  I was interested in a property in Umbria but could not drop everything overnight for a viewing.  Brad came to see the apartment for me and gave it a detailed report. The video he made of the systems, property and the general area made me feel comfortable about making the offer from 5,000 miles away.  I love my new apartment… it is truly a sanctuary and everything I wanted.  No regrets!

I am buying a very nice apartment in Lucca that was found by Brad’s recommended agent Valerio Marconi.  I had never been to that part of Italy before and asked Brad to meet me to show me around and come on the tours that Valerio had set up.  It went great and I selected an apartment that was in my budget and move in ready.  I can’t wait to get moved over and start my new Italian life.
