drakoanders Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Can someone explain to me why retire in Thailand or Philippines and buy property that yo can't actually own. Wouldn't it be better to rent and enjoy your money for the rest of your life than put it in bricks and morter Just to give to someone else. Maybe to give your wife something when you die? Or should you live a life while still alive. Unless your stinking rich I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sealbash Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Numerous reasons for both renting and / or buying. Not everyone's reasons are the same. Just as your circumstances do not apply to everyone else. Landlords need someone to rent their properties. Renters need landlords to supply rental properties. People can explain their reasons to you, but can not understand it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) You could buy a Condo,if you want,buying a house in your wife's name, have a lease drawn up in your name,if when you die,I am sure you would want to leave her something,when you kick off,and especially if you have children,just remember don't put all your eggs in one basket and have a plan B. regards Worgeordie Edited June 7, 2016 by worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakoanders Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 I live in Philippines right now the same situation about owning land and houses apply here. Condos here are hellishly expensive here and some are so very small only built in larger towns or cities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arunsakda Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Another day, another "trole"post. (Yawn) especially again and again with the same rubbish. I feel better watching my own money and not concerning myself with what others waste theirs on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
