Can I purchase property directly?

In order to purchase property you must set up a limited liability company (s.r.o.) or have a long-term resident visa (one lasting five years or more).

Can a S.R.O get a mortgage?

Yes, but your s.r.o. must be a single-purpose company established only to acquire and maintain real estate. It cannot engage in any other business.

There is, therefore, certainly plenty of room for strong growth.
