Pattaya Condos: History and Future
Buying a property to live in--or as an investment--is not 'working' and it is totally allowed and legal. All our properties have been either bought in foreign quota or Thai name--also totally legal. There is also not a required time limit on how long one lives in a property one buys--and there is no requirement to live in it at all. Thailand actually encourages expats to buy property as one way to fill the requirements for one type of a long-term visa, if I'm not mistaken. It is also not illegal to make repairs and renovations to a property, and to hire Thai workers to do the work. Show me one post where I have urged readers to buy property in Thailand. I challenge you to find even a single one. I have certainly posted on what I see as some of the advantages of owning property--here or anywhere else--sometimes with examples of how I have benefitted, but that's not the same as telling people to go out and buy a property in Thailand. I do also post on real estate issues, when I have something to say or if I feel incorrect information has been posted. In most cases, when I post, I relay my experiences, often with examples. In the past, I have posted on all sorts of real estate issues, questions, and, yes, howlers. One such howler was the post stating that condo projects go crashing to the ground when they reach the age of 30. Not to be outdone, another poster said, no, it's actually age 20. I think I might have been living at Garden Cliff at the time, Pattaya's first condo project, which is well over 30 years old and still standing--which I pointed out in a post providing a second opinion. I probably also noted some other older projects as other examples. Another howler, from more than one poster, was that once bought, a property is impossible to resell, at any price, in Thailand. Basically, you can't even give them away and nobody has ever sold a property and made any money in Thailand. I begged to differ. That's probably what I do most of--give a different take on something. For example, someone will post, usually with no examples, a broad statement, such as 'all realtors are useless'. I'm of the opinion that all realtors are not useless so I've posted a second opinion several times in the past. Readers are welcome to reject my take, or not read my posts at all--which I highly recommend for you. The main thing with me is I try to back up what I post with examples and my real life experiences. Why do I think realtors are not useless? It's based on 15 years of varied experiences buying and selling twentysome properties here. It's based on 15 years of varied experiences working with agents and agencies. It's observing for 15 years the hard work realtors do. And, most importantly, it's based on most of our properties being sold with the help of a realtor. Not all, but most. When we first came to Pattaya--and Rayong before that-- we didn't know a single soul. How the heck would we have sold a property, knowing nobody? Fortunately, we had realtors to find the buyers and do the selling for us. I've also posted on such things as condo fees, how we stage a property for sale, how we list a property for sale, pricing, illegal daily renters, real estate contracts, off-plan buying, foreign quota, how we investigate a property to buy, how a property search should work, and other topics. Again, readers are welcome to ignore my posts. I continue to be puzzled by your fascination with what I post--especially since you really have no interest in actually buying real estate in Thailand. Why are you wasting your time slavishly reading and commenting on my posts, I wonder. With no interest in buying, it also doesn't explain your asking me the other day if I 'know of anyone selling a condo in Wongamat'. Huh? Shouldn't that have been 'renting a condo' since you wouldn't be caught dead buying anything? Makes no sense, but that can happen with your posts. By the way, the correct question should have been: Do I know of any condos for sale in the size of_______ fill in the size of the condo, with the price range of _______fill in the price range of the condo in Wongamat? Remember, these are the basics you start with: Property type, property size, property price range, and property place. You only got two--property type and place . You're apparently not retaining anything from my posts--maybe stop wasting your time. -
