*any farangs buy a house or condo in TH using some sort of "owner financing"? I know traditional mortgage is out of the question, at least for my situaiton. Looking at all the properties id really like to get something around 8-9m baht seems like best bang 4 buck and would like to do ~3m down with rest paid over 7years @ 5% straight to the owner. Ive seen some listings on Facebook that say stuff about financing with 1/4 or 1/3rd down but when I contact them I get no replies so want to hear if anyones done this? cheers*

My husband and I are both 60, we want to sell our house in uk and buy a villa in Thailand, is this possible, I read conflicting comments.

Hello one and all 😀

Would really appreciate your views on purchasing a property in Thailand, namely a villa to be used as our own forever home

If we find a rental villa that is as near to perfect for our needs (location/ lovely immediate area, good transportation network, pleasant local community etc) if we were to rent it every year, it’s fair to say the rental costs will increase (potentially each year)

Add the cost of renting for say 25 years, it soon adds up, then add into the equation the owners could tell us to leave at short notice

Purchasing such a property should give us some security and long term could (I think hence asking) work out a lot cheaper

Other than than in years to come your visa being revoked/ refused is there anything else I should consider. I know as foreigners we are not allowed to own the land so I guess it would be a leasehold arrangement 

We are not the sort of people who want to keep moving, once we have found an area we love, we typically settle long term (current home 30 years)

So, please, what are the benefits and pitfalls of purchasing a property in Thailand

Thank you
