Thanks for all the comments on the last video 👍 all 3 of us look forward to meeting you all again in MCG sometime soon 😁 let me know your opinion on the holiday home smart or stupid ? www.cocoastproperty.com/

See you in July, hope youve got umbrellas !

[@coryjackson3131]

We will be back soon Richie and stop by to see you guys 🙏

[@Landofsmiles999]

Smart, it will be another stream of income. You're monetising your surroundings and your knowledge, Richie. It has to be done, or you and your family don't eat. We all gotta get our hustle on to make a buck/baht.

[@Trevor_Gee]

Great video once again. Arriving in phuket late July. What days are best for dropping by MCG to say hello again?

[@Thai.Farang]

Definitely stupid. I've got my real estate investments in the UK, that'll increase in value over time. They also pump out rental income, which will allow me to rent anywhere in Thailand. This gives me total freedom to retire there. Thailand is a very unstable real estate market, with an awful secondary market.

[@deancowley8045]

No point buying in Thailand - invest your money, and use the dividends / profits to pay your rent if you want to live there. Renting is easy, you can move free and easy and are not tied to anything. Buying property in places like Phuket is just selling a dream, the reality is far from a dream - politically instability and visa requirements changing like the weather make a buying proposition a poor one - plus resale values on secondary markets in Thailand are not attractive. I love Phuket, have been visiting the place for over 30 years, but I know too many people who have had their fingers burnt buying property in Thailand.

[@1111000ANGEL0001111]

i would not say there is no point, can you explain more about what you mean in relation to Thailand - invest your money, and use the dividends / profits to pay your rent if you want to live there. Renting is easy also would you have to live in Thailand and have a work permit or could you invest from out of the country good comments though any advice on this is helpful 🙂

[@deancowley8045]

@@1111000ANGEL0001111 in simple terms; investing in Thailand does not (in my opinion) make financial sense. The smarter move would be to invest the money that you are planning to purchase your property with and use the returns to pay rent in Thailand. Most investment portfolios should be giving you a return of between 6-8% so assuming you have a decent amount invested you should be getting a large enough return to pay rent and cover your living expenses etc. Renting also allows you much more flexibility and doesn’t lock you into the over saturated Thai Holiday / retirement property market. If you get bored with one location in Thailand, you can easily up sticks and move to another, and renting allows you this flexibility and provides you with better financial freedom. To be clear, I’m not against living in Thailand, I love the place and have been a regular visitor for the past 30 years, what I am suggesting is that there are smarter ways of structuring your financial situation in order to provide you with more financial freedom / flexibility. With regards to where you invest, this would typically be your country of origin, for example - I know people who own property in Hong Kong and they rent this property out and use the income to live on and pay rent on property in Chaing Mai. I know other people in Hong Kong who have investment portfolios such as stocks, bonds, funds etc (all held in HK) who make good annual returns and can comfortably live off these returns in Thailand. I don’t know too much about the Thai banking system but from what I do know it’s probably advisable to hold your structured investments outside of Thailand in a place where you are very familiar with the banking system.

[@wurthit1239]

good comment. Thanks for sharing.

[@BillonBass]

We make over 300k baht a month just on our rentals here and even more with the ones we own in the US. No debt on any of them. We travel the world and do anything we want. I’ve made millions in real estate and you never rent when you can own good properties in good locations.

[@mixalis6168]

@@1111000ANGEL0001111It all depends on your own place in life.. I know a very rich man, living in Thailand from US, who owns 3 villas in millionaires mile !! Tell him what you said, would make home laugh !

[@shaunscully1173]

Don’t acquire anything in Asia in general, that you can’t take with you in a suitcase. 30 years of holidaying, living and working all around SE Asia has taught me this.

[@d9918]

I bet there has been many a foreigner in Thailand that has heavily invested in property only to find their time on earth cut short. I wonder if their relatives back home ever have any luck in claiming any inheritance?

[@AMan-jg8rf]

It’s a lovely area but there is only business in the High Season yes? And it that for 4 or 6 months?

[@waynek1965]

Been watching you guys from the start, sorry to see that you are turning your content into selling rentals, why don’t you keep your lifestyle contents here and do new channel for your new business, you have started to lose me over last couple of videos sorry to say. Good luck

[@welloilbeefhooked4984]

Same properties i looked at for sale 2 years ago on Fazwaz etc, are still for sale now.

[@wideawake8425]

Phuket has lost all of its charm Overcrowded Overbuilt It was nice in 1985 Wouldn't ever bother to return

[@alees9344]

Enjoying the content and this chapter of your life.

[@offwiththeirheads4635]

With all the illegal builds in Phuket, you're rolling the dice purchasing property.

[@perryrumble5469]

Nice one Ritchie 👍 your living the dream. Keep rising to the top. Love and respect to you and your family.

[@Walt-ck5qn]

Hey Guys! Interesting and informative video! Thank you for your personal insight and perspective. Best wishes, good fortune, health and happiness to everyone. Stay safe

[@pattayadoggrooming]

In my long 29 year experience in Thailand with property is simple....do not get involved in it unless you are prepared to loose money....the property market here can be a minefield !

[@michaelhiggins3724]

Brought in chalong 2 mil baht just sold 6 mill also rent paid house off????

[@darrenbadger6814]

G'day Ritchie, how much was that villa for sale mate? Cheers 👍

[@HDscreenerX]

Hi Richie, I heard you talking about having a previous business which was motorbike rentals. Could you please make a video about that? Really curious to know how profitable it might be and how hard it is to run such a business. Thank you

[@Ay_Ole]

Since he don't do that anymore, I am sure the business wasn't too good.

[@HDscreenerX]

@@Ay_Ole That's exactly why some of us would like hear about it from someone who has been doing such business.

[@nongen1234]

Always interesting, good luck with everything

[@coryjackson3131]

Great to see you again Richie we always enjoy your videos . you are giving good advice and information. My advice about property investment is do your research and know the risk and be able to accept those risks. We will be back soon and stop by and see you guys. Take care 🙏

[@BillonBass]

We own our own home and several long term rental villas here in Hua Hin in a Thai company which is a management company. I have a work permit. Wife 51% and me 49%. We pay taxes on all the rental revenue and our salaries. I am the managing director with sole signature authority and I also own the actual houses personally. Now my wife and I have been married 15 years and we still own quite a few properties in the U.S. in our LLC there. We have a long history together and a high degree of earned trust. It’s not for everyone but for me I’m quite comfortable with it. Everything involves risk but the question is not the risk, but whether it’s a manageable risk. This structure for me is the most manageable risk. Definitely use a good Thai lawyer to set it up. I’m a lawyer of 32 years myself and I’d never do anything here without a Thai lawyer.

[@1111000ANGEL0001111]

Can you recommend any good Thailand solicitors and can you explain if you have to pay tax on your income in both were you live and were you Dont live or do you have a work around for this thanks :)

[@mickeyfoster603]

How much r them villas &others in ur area 😊😊

[@wontbelongnow5567]

Investment property in your own countries and rent because you know the laws better and less chance off being ripped of .RENT RENT RENT IN THAILAND, because you can only lose your rent and deposit. Also you can move if you don't like area or neighbours to suit you.

[@constructionworker-bc6ki]

Watching the video today and what your doing and gathering good properties and also helping the community rent them and gain incomes i think your get substantially more and i think if you keep doing this over and over i can see you becoming a millionaire in 10 years from now and that will be your prime takeover in revenues plus generating more turnover for the restaurant. Just a strange feeling about it. I think everyone should come to you in your area who is interested in renting with a view also for the productivity of there properties as a lifetime insurance income. That's my take on it. I been into construction 23 years now myself and buying up condos in philippines and the main tourist islands boracay and bohol beach. So keep doing what you doing only the positive survive!

He’s already done a very good post that says he will never put his wife and daughter on KZbin again, so as to protect him. He’s right too.

[@SeanHendy]

When I was in Phuket back in 2012 I spent a few days looking at properties for sale. I remember a two bed, two bath apartment in a very nice complex, only 2 stories tall, massive wrap around balconies, big open floorplan, marble flooring, western style throughout, about 180 sq m and the price was about £110k. Six years earlier I had bought in the UK, 2bed 2 bath, about 85 sq m, and it was £170k. In terms of value for money, it was a no brainer. If the intention was as an investment and hedging on the resale value, well, who the f knows where it does and doesn't go, but in all the years since, and having been a property owner (UK) for the last 18 yrs, I have to say my view has changed. I'd now prefer to rent, knowing that I don't have a long term commitment, other than maybe 12 months lease, and if the landscape changes, I can scoot to Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines, etc, if the circumstances in those other countries are more attractive. At least that's how I feel now.

hi richie now you have a beautiful daughter, i believe you can buy property in her name and keep it in a trust until she is older, thanks for sharing

The government of Thailand have zero desire for foreign property investment.. It's not encouraged! Same in Vietnam phillipines.. Don't waste your money or time. Sure rent day to day etc... But unless you have been married to a local f I r 15, 30 years don't bother!
