People lose fortunes in the Republic by jumping into things. I would go as far as to say it is more normal for people to come invest fail and leave than the other way around. People are usually shocked at the higher than expected cost of living in general as much as anything else.
You need to have lived in the country and the area for a long time before any investment, renting is the way to go for a couple of years or set that as a minimum period, unless very very lucky anything less and you haven't seen the full picture or had time to venture into other areas possibly more attractive. A few months here a few months there is not enough. This place is only suitable to some. The majority find real life in the Republic a million miles away from the what is first perceived.
More people make mistakes and fail than you can possibly imagine until you live amongst it, long term.
By the time you buy you should not need any advice on the area, the law, the pitfalls and costs, know who to trust and who is full of it, you should be giving advice to others, and actually lived the proposed lifestyle for a long while. Once you've done that you will know yourself if it is worth the risk and commitment.
