Popular Post ozz1 Posted December 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2019 Had a trip to north east Thailand near loei and was approached by a local asking if I wanted to buy a resort owned by a farang for 3 million baht it was 15 million baht and he just wants to get out of Thailand I've never have this happen before all the years living here and I guess we will see more like this but I said I wouldn't buy anything at the moment while the baht is so high he agreed and said no one wants to buy real estate at the moment and I'm not surprised 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would depend on how badly the current owner is bleeding each month. Losses for repeated months with no hope in site can cause one to think, "this is like pi**ing into the wind". Maybe best to get out now before 3,000,000 becomes 3,000. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post blackcab Posted December 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2019 From 1st January 2020 all such resorts will also have to pay commercial property tax, regardless of whether they have customers or not. With the previous system resorts paid tax on their income, so the tax was proportionate to their income (and therefore the system was widely abused). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that street word is not likely to be even close to the truth. 100,000 deposit maybe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, kinda like when fake-news that goes by the name Newsweek sold itself for $1 (plus debt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard of another company doing that. And for projects that will never be completed. They're just trying to make up for losses from previous projects that went bust.

saengd Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Older houses near to me, previously occupied by farangs, along with new houses built for sale had stood empty for many months. Now, instead of trying to sell them the owner rents them to Chinese families who have kids at the international school a few miles away. THB 38,000 a month for a two bed two bath with basic furnishings, excluding the cost of utilities and estate management fees, what a bargain! In a normal price market the sale value of those places would be circa. THB 2 mill., 38k a month rental income is a brilliant ROI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
