Is it worth buying there? Building is around 20 yo, is there a risk you can buy a bad condo because it is so old.

Is that like a ghetto condo in Pattaya?

those who bought physical (or paper) gold eight months ago lost annualised 24.49%

Not forgetting the effect of inflation and the possible cost/risk of ownership/storage.

wow that is crazy

i think euro is very strong currency, and I will just keep it in euros

i have checked other banks and the only bank in europe that deals with euros is ireland bank that gives 3,5 % i think

i know what i do, i will make a grill for 3 million bht and i can wear it and after sell it

thx, condenser will go on the balcony, so if i buy a kitchen and sink will they install for free?

i visited homeworks yesterday, kind of pricey but ok

size is 38 sqm

but where can i buy the balcony enclosement? in homeworks? and they will install it too?

Air con unit depends on size of room it will be servicing. Big C did not offer only one unit, need both for it to work. If your room is small enough for a 12000 btu unit, I had one installed recently for 21000 baht. No idea about your other questions

oh so it is a set right?

so what u suggest

is banker bs -ing me?

not just you .....everyone else who doesnt know any better as well

think of the banks "financial advisor " as a sales rep for financial products (nothing more ,nothing less)

he might even call himself an "independant financial advisor " and over you products from other banks

(this is making you think hes directing you to another deal for your own good but there will be some partnership somewhere between his company and the packages he offers )

think carefully before trusting any of these monkeys with all your money

but who can you trust, how can you find out about the savings plan that they are offering beside their employee

this is a stupid statement, he works in the bank, he deals with my money, who else should i ask?

I need to know how much are the following costs

aircon inside plus the box with a big fan for outside, do you get a set for like 15000 bht? I was quoted the lowest price 17000 in big c only for the aircon itself withhout the box that comes outside

kitchen, lets say few dravers with few drawers and a sink and some hard top for cook let say

putting the glass on balcony outside, like many poople are doing, they put windows and glass outside, I was wondering if I can have kitchen outisde I think much better for me and have a fridge and sink with electric heater there

so these are the costs, what do you think it would costs me and where to look for the reliable constructor that wlll not inflate the prices too much

so what u suggest

is banker bs -ing me?

buy a 10 year us treasury. it will earn you 1.5% a year

i cant imagine prices rising faster than that

1.5%

inflation in my country is 3% per year ha ha, auustria

Trying to keep the money in the bank and they can not even guarantee the same rate or higher as the inflation, this is ridiculous, I dont know what to do with my money for god sake

here is what i got from my ban advisor in Austria

i am not buying then, the problem is with the inflation, keeping my 3 million in a bank aint that good i think

i just found out that the condo is across the sukhumvit, like 100 meters, so i guess that is the dark side, does the price drops down immediately?

What is the price that a condo of 38 sq, goes for on that location near suk 59?

if i can rent it for max 6k per month, i will pass

dudes let me tell you something, i am not a regular guy with office job, i have a university degree, been working in the office only 9 months, then my internet marketing just took off. I have been travelling the world for the last 7 years, working from beach in bali, kuala lumpur appartment, london house, geneve appartment, los angeles hotel, vegas hotel

so i move a lot, am very flexible and i cant decide quick, the guy that decides quick usually looses money, so you need to ask, ask and ask to be sure you are doing the right thing.

i am sure lots of you would switch places with me and do your job from hotel room, working 2 hours per day from laptop rather than working 10 hours day shift from office and throwing your life away

some people are dummies and loose money because they dont ask around. that is the main problem

A Uni degree and you cannot even spell loser or lose?

if you even thought - just a little - about renting a condo / house to someone else you might realise there are liable to be problems.

You are out of the country

The tenant dies.

There is a water leak.

Some items break down etc. etc.

The rent is not paid.

The tenant trashes the apartment and leaves with no notice.

What do you do when these problems need fixing?

All of these and similar scenarios need common sense. Ah, but that might be a problem with your Uni education

The OP never said he had graduated, just that he had a University degree. It could have been in the attic of his grandparent's home. Sounds like a likely possibility reading his posts

And I have to agree, radiola is definitely not a regular dude. Still haven't been able to figure out if a big time troll or a "special dude". Mildly entertaining.

who cares, i am not defending myself, btw, go to sleep, you have to go to work in the morning, ha ha ha

i am making 3k from internet dude, working 2, 3 hours per day, you wish you could do that, yes special people can do that and not leech from a fat boss who eats all the profits and leave them with bare minimum, good luck

i am still juggling between house or condo, well the condo is not on dark side, it is after sukhumvit, it is quite cheap, but not have kitchen, couch, air con is old, so I wonder how much would I need to pay for these three things extra, would 100k be enough?

If I am not here I would give it to agency I guess, let they rent it out and I will put on ads myself

i am not in live in pattaya i guess so I would like to travel and see the rest of the world, brasil and mexico are next

@markland you have 10 houses, are over 90yo and still can read the screen and type on the laptop, something is fishy here, but if you are really over 90 kudos to you

Hi Radiola

You are good for some entertainment on TV. But in reality you should stop day-dreaming, come over here for an extended period and check out all your ideas, questions and fantasies in person. Have you ever been to Thailand at all? To answer your question. Renting is not easy and the problems for most landlords are even worse than in their home-country. Running it through an agent will probably leave you with 5-6% ROI, but then again it is location, services and amenities that will determine this.. For 10'000 Baht/mth you can find plenty nice studios in very good locations.Have a nice day. ER

dude i stay pattaya, i live in thailand for 3 years now, so you are saying 5-6 %roi? what does not mean, per year?

if I rent it out through agent, how much percent will they take??

Is it easy to rent out condo, around 38 sqm, has cable, flat tv, big pool, near sukhumvit pattaya?

What is your experiece, is there a demand for rent or not?

I wonder how hard it is to get a renter to rent it for 1 year, 10000 per month? Will I end up not renting at all? What is your thoughts, please reply only if you have real experience not from hearsay

And how he pays when you are away, for example electric, water? I plan to travel so condo is kind of an investment

also what if he trashes the place completely, taking drugs etc, damages furniture? How you deal with that?

hmm, cant get a definite answer, so bad. Some people say buy, some poeple are against and rather rent

If you do not have a long time wife or gf whose name you can use in the company...do not go the house rotue, get a condo....much much easier.

Google Drew Noyes and the high jinks he gets up to...also Richard Haughton and Colin Vard.

i am not giving shares to my girlfriend, when you break up what happens then? That is foolish

i havent make decision, that is why, i would prefer house, but what if i loose everything, can you trust a lawyer he will do a good job and not take your house and money?

with condo it is easy, but i prefer to have a house really

I want to ask about this lawyer Mr Surasak from Siam Eastern Law

I want to buy house is it safe to buy it through him?

Any recommendations? He seems like a nice guy...

so I have another problem here, if i buy a house through company, first the lawyer have 100 % ownership right and after 1 week I get 49% of shares in my company ?

Is that correct? What if he does not sign my shares to me and he keeps my house, is that possible?

I have found a lawyer, but how do I know he is real lawyer, i hard from another guy that there are only 5 real lawyers in pattaya, i think that is not possible, that all other are not real laywers,

i mean how can they have an office and practice law if they are not real lawyers.......

i wonder

so is it possible that you buy a condo and lawyer cheats you? What are the things you should be carefull about?

Also I could own a bike, save 3000 bht per month......

Why do you need to own a house to own a bike ?

to keep the bike, when I am gone..... where else can you keep bigger bike when you decide to travel to japan for example
