CharlieH Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Probably better in either Hua hin forum or Property forum. Edited October 13, 2013 by CharlieH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg71 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 The biggest hurdle you will find is finding someone to rent your little investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my ST27a using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Please explain, in what way is it not geared towards condo holiday rentals? There is a huge supply of condos in HH that are empty most of the time. If you want to own a condo there mainly for your own use and don't mind leaving it vacant for all or most of the time you are not there, it is a worthwhile proposition. Otherwise I would suggest renting from the ample supply when you visit HH and investing your nest egg elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my ST27a using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Please explain, in what way is it not geared towards condo holiday rentals? Most condos are owned by Thais, Takiab is a classic example, empty almost all the time but holidays the car parks are full of BKK Beamers and Mercs. Hua Hin visitors/long stayers are mostly families or guys with partners therefor condos especially smaller units are not suitable, they would prefer houses. Also there are many serviced apartments available in the center at reasonable cost so a condo on Petchkasem or further at Takiab is the wrong location.

I agree most condos are owned by Thais (around 85-90% I believe), but is this not the same in Pattaya? Aren't the majority of condos Thai owned? Weekends in Hua Hin are indeed full of BKK registered cars, often people renting apartments in places like Marrakesh, Baan San Pluem, Baan Sechuan, Baan Sansuk in Takiab etc. is this not a rental market the OP could get into? Not being rude or saying your wrong, just trying to learn a little about the differences. Edited October 14, 2013 by colinp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonjelly Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 A bit off topic, hopefully the mods will relocate this one but here goes, I have a Thai friend who wants to rent her house (Hua Hin, 3 bedroom, gated community) through an agent as she is too far away to keep an eye on it herself. Can anybody recommend a trustworthy agent in the Hua Hin area, many thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anybody recommend a trustworthy agent in the Hua Hin area, many thanks in advance. It would depend on the price she wants to rent it for which would determine if a agent would be interested or not High rental then yes maybe, low rental (10-20k a month) which means not a lot of commission for the agent then the majority are simply not interested I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrendsd Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) They are worth renting PP but as we have discussed numerous times most of the agents are not interested You do seem to put the effort into your business, shame that other agents cause negative views amongst people who deal with them Edited November 22, 2013 by darrendsd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
