I’m in Ohio and the housing market here over the last 7-8 years is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Homes that were bought for $130K in 2015 are now being sold for $590k. I’m talking about tiny, disgusting, poorly built 950 square foot shit boxes in quite mediocre neighborhoods. Then you’ve got Better, average sized homes in nicer neighborhoods that were $300K+ 10 years ago selling for $750k+ now. Wild times.
Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.
This is precisely why I like having an asset manager look over my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a manager for more than two years, and I've made over 85% of my initial amount/

Hey Chris, I'm a big fan of you and the channel. I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer here, but please do an honest episode on the real situation of a foreigner buying property in Thailand. No other real estate sales company would do that. In fact they intentionally keep you in the dark and feed you roses and sunshine, but I can't see you doing that. Referring to the villas you showed here, there are 2 ways to own them without marrying a Thai (a dangerous 3rd option that has led to many being broke, homeless, and ultimately, to use the new parlance, un-aliving themselves. 1. Leasehold. This is a horrible idea. In theory you get a 90 year lease, but really it's a 30 year lease that the landowner contractually agrees to renew twice. But the landowner is actually under no obligation to honour that and there's a good chance it will be a different owner when the renewal comes up and almost certainly a new owner by the time the second renewal comes up. They can just give you the boot and if you don't like it, go to court. No one has ever done this and won. Cherry on the top is there are land taxes assessed every year and guess who pays them? The landowner? Nope, it's you. 2. Form a Thai company and have the Thai company own the property. You cannot be a majority shareholder, but you can own the voting shares. Technically, it is illegal to form or own a company in Thailand for the sole purpose of owning a property. Despite this, many people much smarter than me have done it and everyone gets away with it because the Thai government turns a blind eye. In fact, it's good for the country, so they do that, but Thai governments are notoriously fickle and change their mind in a heartbeat, plus you don't know who will be in power or when confiscating (technically) illegally owned property by foreigners may become an election platform. That doesn't seem like a worry now but whom amongst us can accurately predict the future 20 years out? On top of this you need to pay company taxes and pay your lawyer and accountant. Not such a big deal on the 3.5 million USD property if you can afford it, but significant on cheaper properties. I am not a lawyer. This is my opinion based on the research I have done. None of what I said should prevent someone from forming a company and buying a villa (please don't lease unless you are satisfied with the 30 year term and look at the bonus terms as exactly that - bonuses). Just know the risks involved. I spent four months last winter traveling around Koh Samui and mainly Phuket, looking at properties that I was genuinely interested in and ready to buy. At the end of the day, I determined for my personal level of risk, the only safe way to own was to own a foreign quota condo, but those are few and because of the situation in Russia and the end of Covid, all have skyrocketed to IMO overpriced territory. There are many lawyers you could interview, including one I spoke to around Boat Lagoon (not Boat Avenue) and it would be great if you could cover those points above in an interview. At the end of the day, everyone will have their own risk tolerance and act accordingly, but you're in a great position to inform so they can make an informed decision. Me, I'm going to wait and see if the government makes it legal for foreigners to own a small plot, as they discussed doing last year but ulitmately shelved because of public opinion (ThaiLAND is for Thais). Peace and love, brother.
@@TheMeefmaster I think what they're trying to say is no, you can't. And they're right. What they have stated above is Thai law regarding property. You own the house but not the land that it's built on, so effectively you own nothing, as the Thai government can decide they want their land back and the house you have in its place, is irrelevant. You can take out a ninety-year lease on it, but again, it's set for thirty years to start and there is no obligation for them to renew it. Then you have issues with inheritance. Thailand and other countries in Asia are reluctant to allow foreigners to own land in their countries, especially politicians, as it's seen as giving away slices of the country to outsiders. Agree with it or disagree, it's their country. So, buying a house there is a no-no unless the government changes the law. Even then, Thailand doesn't have the most stable political system, so you're taking a gamble whatever you do, as laws can change rapidly.
Has he made content on this yet? I'm also looking to buy but I am happy to have a lease for 30 years and if I lose it after 30 years it's no problem. Would prefer more like 45 years as I'll be old and probably be on my last legs by then 😂😂 but would love some content on this. Did you manage to buy then?
Views and big spaces are all dopamine hits when you see them. Then it's constant maintenance of your mental state, along with CONSTANT maintenance of the facilities. I'd take a tile-floored Bangkok apartment, 5-min walk of the BTS, a decent gym with free weights over 20 kg., 50+ sqm, good water pressure, a good-enough kitchen, street food nearby, a few solid friends, and a faithful, attractive companion over ALL this glitz. And since you're dealing in real estate, I hope your company is licensed in the Kingdom of Thailand. If not, it's totally illegal.
Looks nice but you can see the flaws pretty easy. I’m not paying $1MM for narrow hallways and poorly laid out bathrooms. They get you with the flash but you soon realize it’s all gild.
Nice vid. I loved looking at the places and what you can...wow...get!! Just got here to BKK and doing the RW4U top 25 things to see in Bangkok. Exhausting but they are getting done.
I’ve just come from Phuket with my family looking at realestate. It’s a minefield of agents 4 steps away from the actual owner. Prices are through the roof due to lack of construction during covid and multiple margins on owners price. If you have kids there’s really one place to be which is Bang Tao if you want decent infrastructure around you. Private schools are 30 mins drive from anywhere worth living. We left for the nicer areas in Bangkok. Nice holiday, but not for family set up.
Nice stuff, it'll be interesting to see what happens to the market if the Russian's leave. So Chris, I saw another vid from a guy that says you're the owner of a luxury boutique hotel in Samui. Is that true and have you featured it on your channel?
That's apartments you are thinking of, as its possible to fully own apartments. To try and own a house your company which must be an operating company with Thai employees (which you own 49% of) and that can own a house and land as part of their assets - however many opt for shell companies which the Thai authorities are cracking down on and which lead you to have your land seized as its an illegal mechanism to get around the law. Unless you have a legit company its best to think of buying a house as a long term lease.
Love the channel but seems to be a real shift in the comments section recently. Respect Chris is expanding his business empire but would be nice to sprinkle a few of the old style “ground level” videos in too as opposed to just those appealing to millionaire investors
You can't but it's not something they'll want to advertise too openly in a video, especially real-estate agents. You can own the house for thirty years in a lease but after that, it's murky. Condos can be owned but not actual houses.
Beautiful homes and beautiful locations. When 50% of the world's population can fly non-stop direct to a place like Phuket, it affects prices. If you don't need to be an hour away from an international airport for convienence, there's a lot more value on the Gulf side of the peninsula. A 250sqm house on two rai located 500 meters from the beach costs an attainable 5-7Mthb.
Hey Adam, remember me? We talked about a year ago now and if i remember correctly you were going to get back to me regarding propertly’s for sale in Thailand. Rodney and Phayom. We will be in Thailand in Sept. this year for 3 months, let me know what you got.
Now I have more knowledge about personal finance. I just subscribed to your channel. Big ups to everyone working effortlessly trying to earn a living while building wealth in this recession. I’m 45 and my husband is 51, we are both retired, no debts. We are planning on relocating to Thailand. We are currently living a frugal and financially savvy lifestyle and generating passive income even during this recessionary period. Our commitment to saving and investing in the financial market has enabled us to maintain this lifestyle and continue earning monthly passively through investment::
Congratulations on your early retirement, Interesting indeed! Currently, I am in dire need of investment advice or tips. Last year, I hesitated and failed to take any action until the year concluded. However, this year, I am determined to try something new, as I am very receptive to various investment ideas. I want to be retired in my forties or fifties.
No problem at all! If you're seeking to earn substantial profits from your investment, I would suggest determining your investment horizon and implementing a long-term plan. I worked with Claire Martha Magalhaes to create a long-term investment strategy, and she assisted us in managing our investments while we focused on my jobs without any concerns.
Thank you for your advice. It's challenging to find a reliable investment advisor here, and I appreciate your input. Seeing the successes you've achieved through investing, I would love to have access to your investment advisor's information if you wouldn't mind sharing it.
I work with *CLAIRE MARTHA MAGALHAES* ,who is based in the United States. If you would like more information about her, you can conduct a search online. She even got featured on CNN recently.
I searched for the name and found her website, where I saw her qualifications and testimonials that looked impressive, with many positive reviews. I reached out to her to discuss my financial goals. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
Great channel. What about the visa regulations, specifically regarding Adam? Could you please make a video about it, or is there one already from you that I just haven't found?
I agree, way too much. If you can use the hotel restaurants for free then it's ok I guess and you can make the most out of it. But I highly doubt that. Way too much then.
whats the cheapest budget house I can buy in Thailand? I'm coming there soon and I'm planning on buying something but it must be the cheapest I can find can you please help me? any advice would help!
Sponsore by PRIME......FFS ....FYI this isn't typical / accessible phuket living. Can you look in areas like Kata, Rawai, Chalong?. Looks like you've been sucked into an agent tour. I'm disapointed.
Hi, I have an opportunity to take a teaching position in Phuket town. How can I find a house in that area? I will be bringing with me my two small doxies.I lived and taught in Bangkok for 18 years and then decided to move back to USA. The school that I will be working is an international school. Price range in which i am seeking is 5-13,000 baht a month.
I was hoping I get home to Thailand, and get away from with this whole video seems to be about that I encounter here in Florida. People just throwing up new developments everywhere kill the charm. And I would never buy a property where other people are trying to generate income. That just sounds like a mess. It’s a proven fact that renters do not take care of a property like homeowners. Especially short term I want to be surrounded by people that take pride because that’s where they live and that’s where their money and time is spent. Also, seems like a lot of foreign development that stress over pricing the area.
Yea right off the bat, i would not want to be right next to that power transformer. It's a hazard. The development of research surrounding non-ionizing radiation and safe levels is ongoing, but I would not want to take chances having a family next to that. Plus, it could be hazardous in other ways.
Hi Chris. great videos. I ve been watching you daily for the past two weeks. I am from Florida , near Tampa bay. I am now convinced that i am going to sell my house and move there. I hope to meet you . I am 53. My question is. I have a disability. I have an amputation below the rt knee. I can walk a mile and climb some stairs. I see that its a big deal to remove shoes. How do enter a place with a prosthetic limb without removing my shoe?
What he is saying that everything is close to where everything is going on is actually not true 😅 I have been traveling to Phuket past 17 years at less 3-5 times a year. I have buy 2 properties there. Laguna is far from everything but it’s closer to airport. Where you want to be is south Phuket: patong, Kata, Karon, Rawai or Chalong. It’s close to the most beautiful beaches, shopping, hospitals, schools or any company that matters if you work. But Laguna is very beautiful & quite. It’s more for relaxing & people without children
Chris, you need to research the actual legality of the 30+30+30 lease thing before you put that on your channel. As far as I ca n work out, anything beyond the initial 30 years is totally non-enforcable. I'm happy to be corrected, but just be a wee bit careful. I don't think that guy is reliable. Just saying... 🤷♂️
You are correct - that is the law and has caused much heartbreak in Thai courts. 30 years is all that's legally possible and the max under the law, the extensions can be denied by the landowner or their heirs at renewal time.
Hi Chris, as always great work & vlog, .i have never visited Phuket, but to see what`s going on is interesting ! I know some friends they love it, i am more on exploring and change accomodation with diff. views and etc. but thats me Lol !😂Thanks top Infos indeed👍🙏nice places !🤩
283,000USD is incredible stupid to pay for that first villa. How does that work? Please let us viewers all know how long you actually own/lease the place for? I heard you never can own the place unless you marry a Thai? Is that true?
Even if you marry a Thai the property will be in their name. You don’t technically own the property, like in most western countries. Many foreigners lose their property when they break up with the Thai wife or gf and the Thai decides to keep it, with it being in their name. Unless you can become a Thai citizen which isn’t easy.
No, just a few islands (Koh Samui, Phuket, Koh Phangan etc.) have higher prices. If you want cheap Thailand, go to the north. The mentioned islands were never cheap
Great work Adam and Chris! Like to see you expanding your Real Estate network. By the time we're ready to move over, it'll be a nice one stop shop to find reliable folks in the different cities and areas.
Very disappointed in this video. Everyone knows that Russians, fleeing the war in Ukraine, have invaded Phuket, driving real estate prices through the roof. What happens to those prices and consequently your “investment” when the war ends and the Russians go home? Very disappointed your video didn’t mention this. Pump and dump real estate.
Rather than bashing him why not make your own video? Not saying, your information isn’t correct. In fact, you might bring out some details that he did not mention.
Freehold?, Leasehold?, Foreign quota?, CAM? Most of your viewers are probably in the $200k USD range to buy. I think you missed the mark here gents, shame! Not even mentioning the Eastern Block shitfight!!!!
Why would you build, let alone buy, something that expensive on land that you cannot own 🤷♂ This is beyond me, not to mention this is opposite of what Thailand travel and living is about.
Thais by law own 51% of the property and will want their cut of your money when selling if they legally dont sell it without your permission. Been in Thailand 3 decades and have seen this many times.

Nice places Chris! The problem is you keep doing these high priced real estate videos that most of us can't afford!
Views and big spaces are all dopamine hits when you see them. Then it's constant maintenance of your mental state, along with CONSTANT maintenance of the facilities. I'd take a tile-floored Bangkok apartment, 5-min walk of the BTS, a decent gym with free weights over 20 kg., 50+ sqm, good water pressure, a good-enough kitchen, street food nearby, a few solid friends, and a faithful, attractive companion over ALL this glitz.
And since you're dealing in real estate, I hope your company is licensed in the Kingdom of Thailand. If not, it's totally illegal.
Yup, and without a company registration and a work permit, that is 100% illegal in Thailand.
I'd take what you mentioned you like...but to each there own.
Looks nice but you can see the flaws pretty easy. I’m not paying $1MM for narrow hallways and poorly laid out bathrooms. They get you with the flash but you soon realize it’s all gild.
For those of us who wanna live there with our children it would be cool to see a Vlog about the international schools and the cost involved.
I like how Halie was moving herself in while doing the walk through.
For the amounts quoted, I would expect a (much) bigger garden area. Could you focus more on aspects, like house insulation and solar?
Big fan of your videos from
the start. BUT TIMESHARES Man everyone knows they are the biggest waste of money, and steeped with risks.
I follow more travel related channels than anyone for yrs. Retired Working For You u have an amazing channel. Pure escapism! 😂
Nice vid. I loved looking at the places and what you can...wow...get!! Just got here to BKK and doing the RW4U top 25 things to see in Bangkok. Exhausting but they are getting done.

Moonstone. It’s more a villa than hotel. He’s shown it several times and others have done videos on it.
@@shaunlaverty8898 that's cool, I must've missed his vids on it, just was curious.
I’ve had a few friends stay there, quite the nice place!
dude you are an awesome filmmaker!
I’m curious why no one mentioned as a foreigner you cannot purchase a single family home, only if it’s 51% Thai owned?
The company has to be 51% Thai owned as well. There is no way to trick the system.
My thinking is you can own the home if you’re a business, but you can’t own the land it’s sitting on.
To get 51% Thai owned, must you marry more than 1 Thai wife?
@@forest42821 Yes, the math suggests one Thai wife along with two percent of another Thai wife which you can get on a TIMESHARE.
That's apartments you are thinking of, as its possible to fully own apartments. To try and own a house your company which must be an operating company with Thai employees (which you own 49% of) and that can own a house and land as part of their assets - however many opt for shell companies which the Thai authorities are cracking down on and which lead you to have your land seized as its an illegal mechanism to get around the law.

It feels that thailand change from charming to big business. Better to put money on a smaler classic house close the beach. Not Beverly hills... 😢
Definitely!
Would be crazy to buy there now, with the place overrun with Russians inflating the prices. It’s better to rent now.
Ya ill take the last villa for sure. Amazing places. Great vid.
Great show Chris! Stay cool kind and generous!

whats the cheapest budget house I can buy in Thailand? I'm coming there soon and I'm planning on buying something but it must be the cheapest I can find can you please help me? any advice would help!
Sponsore by PRIME......FFS ....FYI this isn't typical / accessible phuket living. Can you look in areas like Kata, Rawai, Chalong?. Looks like you've been sucked into an agent tour. I'm disapointed.
For us regulars in usa we cant afford 950k house in thailand but thats truth
Now I can see your camera man who is behine your great power shorts.Thx for nice view.guys
Is there tax to pay on top of these prices?
Thumbs up 👍 Chris
Hi, I have an opportunity to take a teaching position in Phuket town. How can I find a house in that area? I will be bringing with me my two small doxies.I lived and taught in Bangkok for 18 years and then decided to move back to USA. The school that I will be working is an international school. Price range in which i am seeking is 5-13,000 baht a month.
Keep up the good work
The agent's name is Bob? Or Woger?
Great video!
I was hoping I get home to Thailand, and get away from with this whole video seems to be about that I encounter here in Florida. People just throwing up new developments everywhere kill the charm. And I would never buy a property where other people are trying to generate income. That just sounds like a mess. It’s a proven fact that renters do not take care of a property like homeowners. Especially short term I want to be surrounded by people that take pride because that’s where they live and that’s where their money and time is spent.
Also, seems like a lot of foreign development that stress over pricing the area.
4:28 crazy rental prices.
do they have dentists in phuket Bob?
can real estate be bought with Bitcoin?
I still don't understand how westerners can buy houses....when they aren't allowed to buy houses.....please explain
Yea right off the bat, i would not want to be right next to that power transformer. It's a hazard. The development of research surrounding non-ionizing radiation and safe levels is ongoing, but I would not want to take chances having a family next to that. Plus, it could be hazardous in other ways.
Hi Chris. great videos. I ve been watching you daily for the past two weeks. I am from Florida , near Tampa bay. I am now convinced that i am going to sell my house and move there. I hope to meet you . I am 53.
My question is. I have a disability. I have an amputation below the rt knee. I can walk a mile and climb some stairs.
I see that its a big deal to remove shoes. How do enter a place with a prosthetic limb without removing my shoe?
Slippers and new balance makes a slipon.
That last main bathroom was probably the size of my apartment
Good luck!
Phuket will become the next Singapore. Great video, very informative.
You mean overpriced, overrated.
just looking, thanks...
What he is saying that everything is close to where everything is going on is actually not true 😅 I have been traveling to Phuket past 17 years at less 3-5 times a year. I have buy 2 properties there. Laguna is far from everything but it’s closer to airport. Where you want to be is south Phuket: patong, Kata, Karon, Rawai or Chalong. It’s close to the most beautiful beaches, shopping, hospitals, schools or any company that matters if you work. But Laguna is very beautiful & quite. It’s more for relaxing & people without children
What about non Thai buying property
Wow that's a really nice place Chris very nice 🆒👍😎
Overpriced. 70k rent is too much.
This the world we live in ,otherwise U find urself in the street , if U live in Aussie U understand 😊
Chris, you need to research the actual legality of the 30+30+30 lease thing before you put that on your channel. As far as I ca n work out, anything beyond the initial 30 years is totally non-enforcable. I'm happy to be corrected, but just be a wee bit careful. I don't think that guy is reliable. Just saying... 🤷♂️
You are correct - that is the law and has caused much heartbreak in Thai courts. 30 years is all that's legally possible and the max under the law, the extensions can be denied by the landowner or their heirs at renewal time.
Hi Chris, as always great work & vlog, .i have never visited Phuket, but to see what`s going on is interesting ! I know some friends they love it, i am more on exploring and change accomodation with diff. views and etc. but thats me Lol !😂Thanks top Infos indeed👍🙏nice places !🤩
The last house is nice... Wish there wasnt any neighbor... LoL
Get 10% off if you mention Tsunamy... get 20% if you dont... at least the Mud Hut on the beach is now made out of Concrete???
More money does not mean high quality.
4.5 MIL USD?? Ooh Lawrdy, who has that kind of Mafia money. 😅😅
283,000USD is incredible stupid to pay for that first villa. How does that work? Please let us viewers all know how long you actually own/lease the place for? I heard you never can own the place unless you marry a Thai? Is that true?
Even if you marry a Thai the property will be in their name. You don’t technically own the property, like in most western countries. Many foreigners lose their property when they break up with the Thai wife or gf and the Thai decides to keep it, with it being in their name. Unless you can become a Thai citizen which isn’t easy.
Stunning
Man! These are not for me. They're for the super rich only
That’s not Peterborough, Ontario ! ! 🇨🇦
Guess my plans on moving to Thailand is not gonna happen. Getting expensive.
There's a lot of nice and affordable places in Thailand. Phuket has been well-known as expensive place to live.
No, just a few islands (Koh Samui, Phuket, Koh Phangan etc.) have higher prices. If you want cheap Thailand, go to the north. The mentioned islands were never cheap
Too many ruzzians in Phuket. Kind of ruins the vibe.
Great work Adam and Chris! Like to see you expanding your Real Estate network. By the time we're ready to move over, it'll be a nice one stop shop to find reliable folks in the different cities and areas.
Just when I thought I was well off living in Thailand.
Time for all the comrades to go home and defend the motherland
Very disappointed in this video. Everyone knows that Russians, fleeing the war in Ukraine, have invaded Phuket, driving real estate prices through the roof. What happens to those prices and consequently your “investment” when the war ends and the Russians go home? Very disappointed your video didn’t mention this. Pump and dump real estate.
Fully agree. It happens on this channel repeatedly (so Koh Samui one). Overpriced, rather ugly properties with little chance on equity appreciation.
We should take them all fishing.
Yep, exactly! Chris should interview some Russians and talk about the Russian invasion of Phuket in a separate video.
Rather than bashing him why not make your own video? Not saying, your information isn’t correct. In fact, you might bring out some details that he did not mention.
@@eyezearz_orgwhy can't he do both?
Hey Chris, just wondering if you're home/condo owner in Thailand, if not, what's holding you back from buying.
He's got the Moonstone villa on Samui. Plenty of videos about that one one on his channel.
😉, his girlfriend isn't Thai
Freehold?, Leasehold?, Foreign quota?, CAM?
Most of your viewers are probably in the $200k USD range to buy.
I think you missed the mark here gents, shame!
Not even mentioning the Eastern Block shitfight!!!!
Bro, you have a son that is an exact clone of you, even the voice 🤣🤣🤣
Q. What is the reason for the high rental prices in Phuket?
A. Vladimir Putin
Chris! You do understand that engaging in any kind of real estate work here as a foreigner is strictly prohibited under Thai law right?
If you buy a house like this, do you get special treatment with a visa?
nice i just need to win the lottery
Phuket Russia is a wonderful city.
People move to countries like Thailand to save money, not spend the same or more than they would in their home countries.
Why would you build, let alone buy, something that expensive on land that you cannot own 🤷♂
This is beyond me, not to mention this is opposite of what Thailand travel and living is about.
Why would anyone buy when you can rent very cheaply? The most expensive thing about Thailand is getting there.
Why this channel feels like a commercial ride from start to end of lots of videos and shows a romantized perpspective to generate more?..
Your not buying a house for yourself but your buying a house for someone else, mainly a local.
Thais by law own 51% of the property and will want their cut of your money when selling if they legally dont sell it without your permission. Been in Thailand 3 decades and have seen this many times.
Never seen you without an “awkward” shirt on!
Wow
i never get sick of the euro haters on LOS. LOL.😂😂😂😂😂
That seems to be very against Thai spirit and law. Way to go
