kamalabob2 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 The OP should be able to select from several homes or villas in Thailand in that price range. If he has proof of income and good credit in the Thai Credit Reporting service a smart seller may offer seller finance. The OP should consider paying for a property appraisal of any home he is interested in buying in Thailand to see if the price is acceptable. This five bedroom home for sale in Buriram does offer seller finance, does have a property appraisal, but is not in the same price range. https://www.buriramhome.com/buriram-property-appraisal/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorJake Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 Would need to be in the price range that I mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubba Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I see there are a few agents in the Pattaya real estate groupie that are offering finance packages. Did you find what you were looking for? I’m also looking for a finance package on a 2 bedroom condo - hopefully close to the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorJake Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 Have a few to look at but would still like more choice. Also, wondered how well some well some villas would hold their value given you only have a 30 year lease and need to renew. Compared to a freehold condo.

A thirty year lease is a thirty year lease, the only real value is having your rent locked in for thirty years. At the end of the lease term it has no value, as the new lease will be negotiated based on whatever rent the market dictates at the time of the negotiation. At any point within the term it may have value (to someone other than the lessee) if the lease is both transferrable, and the rent is significantly below market value. You are effectively buying thirty years of rent, which there is nothing wrong with, as long as that's what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I look at a property on Hip Flat there's always an advert for a Mortgage available to foreigners without needing PR/Workpermit... From the looks of it, you can only borrow up to 60% of the purchase price & the interest rate looks high... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 There are many properties now in the Pattaya area where sellers will carry back paper for 7 to 10 years. The listing agents I know have been promoting this structure to sellers to enhance their chances to sell. The years and interest rates are negotiable normally with the seller wanting 50% down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorJake Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 Yes, want a place in Thailand to rent out when not there and also increase in capital value. Have been looking at Jomtien and Koh Samui. I was told by a lawyer and a few brokers that land renewal lease on villa is not a difficult issue (in most case) and many condos are now leasehold as well (30 years - need to renew) - guess will depend case, by case. Does anyone have experience selling at a profit? View which will be best option as an investment in general, a villa or condo? Yes, have seen various financial institutions offering finance, but the rates are high. I think is better to get seller financing as most offer no interest or favorable rates to negotiate between each other. Yes, also many just requiring as low as 10%-25% or (0,5m-1m baht down) - depending on value. Keen to hear other stories. If anyone has any real estate looking to sell then please do contact me.

Rates are high because the risk is high. Do you have an example of a some of the sellers financing that "...offer no interest or favorable rates...?

DoctorJake Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 Yes a few offering 5-10 years finance. However, seems they have factored their price into the calculations - around market price with no discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something for nothing usually ends up being nothing for something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorJake Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 What do you think about locations? Would a better class of people - say more educated, less crime, more affluent go to Samui than Jomtien? Or the same? Anyone predict which location would be better for growth in real estate values - Jomtien or Samui? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that includes beach front will do well. Penthouses with unobstructed ocean views will do well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorJake Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Have a seller needing to leave Phuket that is offering seller finance over 10 years interest free. This is freehold and about 30% under market value - he just wants income stream and seems market i difficult currently. Now it is held in Thai entity so how will that affect me and its future value? I understand I will be a major shareholder 49% of Thai entity but own the property. Has anyone have any experience with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
