  1. The way i look at rental guarantees are that they normally mean we are buying at heavily marked up prices today. 

    I'm not sure i'm 100% correct as it is true some developers who give high GRR (Guaranteed rental returns), are actually saving as the interest they are charged on borrowing is higher than what they are paying out to investors hence, a nett savings still makes sense for them to do so.... 

     

    But my suspicions are that most are heavily marked up and the GRR is just a carrot to give investors the illusion of safety for the next few years with the hope that the market does grow substantially to give them a possible exit when the time comes. 

     

    Liked some points highlighted in this article from the middle down.. have a read. Important Entry Signals For Property Investors

    No, her application will be considered on its merits.

    It’s her that that has to satisfy the ECO that her application is genuine, affordable and that, on the balance of probabilities, she will return home to Thailand.

    The fact you live in Thailand most of the time together, assumingely in a relationship akin to marriage, will be in her favour.

    Does she have any other ties, work maybe?

    Do declare your personal circumstances, better to be upfront that have the ECO check the database and come across your wife’s Immigration history.

    My current wife had three visit visas, two for six months and one for two years when she was my girlfriend, and I hadn’t got round to divorcing my ex.

    Yup it will be based on your thai gf merits
