I believe that this is the Bellamar Hostel in Vila d Conde.

If you have a link to where it is offered for sale, could you please post - thank you.

Yes it is the Bellamar, just on the left as you cross the road bridge. I stayed there late last year, 2020..
It's quite a big spread out place with a mix of room types.

Portugal has a "golden passport" program that makes it easy to get residency if you invest a certain amount in real estate. You can get citizenship (and thus EU citizenship) with relaxed rules also. Search golden passport Portugal for information. A lot of the links will be for brokers that can help you.

For this, you probably *could* get a Golden Visa!

Friends bought a B&B in Sapir do Porto and got the Golden Visa; the minimum investment is 500K euros, and a requirement to learn Portuguese (fair enough). I do not know how well one is expected to be able to speak the language within X amount of time, but they are really, really struggling with the spoken aspects.

You have to pass an A2 (elementary) language exam for citizenship, which you can apply for after five years of residency through the Golden Visa program or any other one.

At 9 euros a night for a bunk, in a building that's presumably worth just under 500,000 euros (from the real estate listing), not sure that anyone could make a go of this. The financing costs would be very high.

IIRC we stayed there in 2015. They were a pension, whatever the proper word is in Portugal, and we didn't pay 9 euro a head. They had a washer and a clothesline on a reel. Lovely place. I remember the owners (a family) lived on premises somewhere, too.

On the other hand, that's about half the price of an average house in Toronto, which doesn't provide any income at all. Just sayin'.

Very true. Also here in Vancouver. But globally, I think we're kind of outliers.....

....And now, having spent part of a winter in an old Portuguese house, I can attest that the heating costs would be quite a lot higher! I guess okay if you only opened between March and November.
