ok what I want to know is say you want to buy that 3M bhat house you pointed out. the longest lease would be 30 years. would the price be cheaper as the home goes back to the seller after?
seems risky to have to move after 30 years. of "owning" a place when you are old.
next Q: say you get that house, live there for 10 years and want to sale it. if you sale to farang they would get the remaining 20 years correct?
but what if you sale it to a Thai? would they get complete owner ship of the house or would they just be buying the lease?
lets do the math on the example house.
3M divided by 30 years = 100K per year
100K divided by 12 =8333 per. month
if you think of it as rent it could work out, but if you think you own it. well you would be in for a rude awaking. how many ppl could live and up keep a house for that long and just walk away with nothing to show for it? not many.
plus you factor in the changing rules and crack down that is happening I would be very VERY careful. I bet all those ppl that bought a house under a company used a lawyer and thought they were doing it the correct way, and find out few years later they were illegal.
IDK best to stick to condos or just rent. I would think if you found a nice house you liked a wanted to set up a multi year lease I would think you could get a nice price on it?
