Product Description
Buyers of offshore real estate property can be divided into two categories: The fortunate buyers who actually receive the property they paid for and the unfortunate ones who end up losing their money in offshore real estate fiascos or end up with a lemon of a property. Although the fortunate buyers outnumber the unfortunate, ventures in purchasing real estate offshore still end up badly for too many people. Did you know that the difference between fortunate and unfortunate buyers is sheer luck, not more business savvy on one side than the other? Fortunate buyers are lucky enough to buy from one of the reliable developers doing business overseas. Do not let luck dictate offshore real estate purchases.

Great Book, By SMW "SMW" (KSA) - See all my reviews This review is from: How To Safely Buy Real Estate In Thailand (Paperback) I have read this book cover to cover twice. I currently own offshore real estate and want to buy more. The information provided is directly relevant to Thailand, but also provides good guidelines and practices for purchases elsewhere.
