DREAM Condo Tour in Pattaya, Thailand

[@Jon-qp9ew]

So this Condo is 30 years old and cost $429,000. They don't tell you the cost of parking, maintenance fees, security fees and other cost. And the building might have issues from its age and being on the coast.

[@DarkoFitCoach]

That first condo is just right. Size location and how its set up. Exactly my taste. But the price is way too high. Should be half.

[@AcmeRocket]

Yes

[@ue7483]

I agree. This was bad advertising for the real estate agent. I would not buy or rent with them. Seems like the price is pumped for stupid foreigners...

[@RubyDragon1]

Yes for 29 years old

[@damija01]

Half price, no way as long as have farang unconsciously ready to pay two to five times the price 🙃

[@azotarhastasangrar]

I am agree. When they say that the same condo in the 10th floor cost the double I've laught hard, could you imagine 800.000$ for that? no way. This vídeo is a complete joke.

[@Robertmacmedia]

My question investing 420.000 usd and in10 years what’s my investment going to be worth my opinion probably 1/2 no thank you I’ll invest in USA property, yes it’s nice 👍🏼 I’ll rent in Thailand that way always able to walk away, thanks for sharing Chris 👍🏼

Absolutely correct.

[@wanderingdoc5075]

Exactly I built a $2MM portfolio in US and now that I am diversifying.. Thailand would be my last choice from an investment standpoint. I am looking at Montenegro and Tblisi. If for lifestyle it's a different story.

[@ue7483]

@@wanderingdoc5075 good job. Just rent in Thailand and do your investments elsewhere. As a foreigner it is unlikely to make good deals in Thailand.

[@AcmeRocket]

I paid $320k ($100k less) for a condo in Miami/FTL area right on the beach, same building age, same quality amenities much, much nicer beach. Not sure why they think that makes sense in Pattaya.

[@willsmith39]

It doesn't.

[@octaviusvanzandt3695]

Agreed, and your property rights in the US will probably be much safer. My guess is these beach condos in Thailand appeal to those that can't buy in places like Florida due to their nationality or that don't want their property tracked by the US govt, or to those that want to live in Thailand instead of Florida. Personally, I'd never buy a condo in Thailand -- renting there is cheaper and financially safer.

[@lako2023]

@@octaviusvanzandt3695 Miami is a sinking city though with day time flooding + being hit by hurricanes repeatedly. So not sure if I'd say it is much "safer".

[@willsmith39]

@@lako2023 Look at returns on investment in Miami condos over the past 10 years v condos in Thailand and then get back to me. Even if you genuinely believe Miami is about to become Atlantis any day now 🙄🙄 you've got all sorts of legal protections baked in to real estate investment in the US that you don't have in Thailand. Especially as a foreigner. You have coups constantly in Thailand, it's currently under military control, who knows what rule changes could happen there in a place that's increasingly hostile towards foreigners living there long term. Sorry but I just don't agree with you that Miami is equally risky for long term investment as Pattaya. Pattaya let's be honest here is a bit of a shithole that wouldn't even be a thing if it wasn't for like 20k hookers living there. And if they don't come back who knows. I get that it's trying to become something else with its fancy malls and attract more families etc but it remains to be seen if it can really ever totally clean up it's act.

[@dantheman2340]

In the USA I own my condo 100%. In Thailand you can only own 49% so you can get screwed over if you put 51% ownership with somebody. Rent and live stress free.

[@tanapolb.193]

Chris, I just noticed one discrepancy as follows: The building was built in 1992 and now is 2021. It is 29 years old bldg instead of 19 years old as stated by the agent.

[@vanhocwong6689]

For those who are NOT aware, the reason why 2nd floor is much cheaper than Higher Floor is because of the Noise. At night, you can hear all the noises from traffic and people. And you know in Thailand, some people go partying up to 3am in the morning. That is something you should consider when purchasing a lower floor apartment.

[@vanhocwong6689]

@Bapo Boy I think you misunderstood my message. I explained there is a "Reason" why its cheaper when the apartment is situated at a lower floor. Its Not only in Pattaya. Its also in Bkk. I live in Bkk right outside Thonglor BTS, so I know about the noises even though I am on the 12th floor.

[@dcm699]

Yikes! 420k? One of the biggest draws for retiring abroad is your money goes further, but 420k in most states will practically get you a mansion, let alone just a little condo. I thought the price was going to be like 100k lol.

[@kevinmattson833]

Prices have changed here, not so easy to find a place of this size for $100k USD, let us know if you'd be looking for something in the Pattaya area, thanks, Kevin @ Coastal Real Estate..

[@dksharron]

Samui and Pattaya ! You are off the charts. 1992 = 29 years old. When the foreigner informs the bank in his home country to send the money, the bank should note FOR CONDO PURCHASE on the wire transfer. The foreigner's Thai bank would then issue to him a form TT3 = TorTor3 which is a form from the bank that the money for the condo purchase is from abroad. All money paid for a condo by a foreigner must be brought into the country for that purchase.

[@absolutrudy]

Looks nice but for pattaya that’s way overpriced. Great vids Chris! Love these real estate tours

This is a hiso Thai building so it will be well maintained and usually prices don't go down much in such buildings as owners don't need to sell.

And then there is the legal fees with company and government .

Just a suggestion: when showing a condo such as this one, let your listeners know 1) the % of owner occupancy in the bldg. and 2) the monthly condo fee (although in this case if you're willing to shell out 420K in Pattaya for a 2bdrm 2nd floor condo, you clearly don't give a rap what the monthly condo fee is).

No correction about the incorrect age of the condo quoted by the salesperson (she said 20 years old when it's actually 30). No pushback about the insane price. So how I would do it is start with these sorts of things and go from there. By the way, did you notice he had no pushback about the braindead asking price in the investment property video? Did you also notice that Chris has "gone nomadic" but is shilling for condos that his foreigner audience can buy? If he doesn't believe in buying, why is he not at least showing rental properties? In other words, I'm sure he knows this is a terrible deal but he has no shame in shilling it to us.

This is right after he "escaped" from Bangkok as a result of how unstable things are. If you don't have a problem with this, that's your choice.

Love you Chris. But I'd run - not walk - from both of these even if Pattaya wasn't currently a giant homeless ( non) shelter. Which it is and God knows when it will come back and in what form. But even in the absolute boom times dropping 5M USD total in Soddom & Gemmorah on Sea for a mini condotel and a weird office complex come random 'villa'? Yeah - hard pass. On the condotel your current rental income would be a fraction of the numbers quoted. The house - I'll drop my 2.5m USD in the South of France and if it's going to be on Thailand it would be Samui or Phuket - not sleazeville. And I wouldn't be spending that kind of money on Thailand, too many unknowns. Maybe the next coup they won't be so keen on foreigners owning anything. Just rent people. You can rent awesome properties for peanuts there and it's not going to be leaping back up again anytime soon. Lyle seems a nice guy. Hopefully he doesn't need to get his money out fast / ever. 😬😬
