There is only one specific thing that is to be taken into consideration and it is that according to the Bulgarian Constitution and legislation foreign persons currently are prohibited from owning land and can acquire only buildings but not land on which the buildings are built.
This is easily overcome by forming a Bulgarian registered company with you being a sole owner and director.
