Keep up the good work. Thanks to you, I just found 6 places I have not even thought of, and I live here. The Glory Condo is a bit short on parking space, and if, say, a leak from the pool ever causes a hole to appear in the ceiling, one could be forced to say a couple of words in combination that could get misinterpreted.

The thing with Condos is what if you get noisy neighbors -as you have people living next door above you and below you - definitely give the condo with the bar and restaurant on top a wide bearth - but a great video got straight to the point no waffling.

Excellent, you must have an extended vacation. That's a good plan to visit here and really check things out. I did the same and spent more time every visit so I could acclimate and get a feel for how much passive income I would need to live here. I was a Heavy Equipment Mechanic in my 20's. I worked alongside welders in the field, good-paying jobs.

So to find longer term accommodations to rent i just go to the condos / apartments and there will be someone to show the vacancies? Should I use a property agent?

@JakeSnowLiveSimple

11 ай бұрын

Yes, many of the condos have people working there to help you. Many older condo/apartment complexes have a phone number you must call to set a time to meet up with a property manager. You don't need a real estate or property manager working for you. It's very easy to walk into most condo complexes and figure out who to speak with or use Google Maps to get the phone number for the condos without staff.

Hello Excellent video you ROCK I did not get it can someone explain to me after you paid in full the condo, How much do you have to pay in MAINTENANCE.?

@JakeSnowLiveSimple

Жыл бұрын

Thank you. 🙏🏼 The HOA fee (maintenance fee) is calculated by sq. M. per month, but is usually paid in full annually or bi-annually at the condos I've looked at. In the US we pay the fee monthly. The last condo in the video had a maintenance fee of $1080 paid every 24 months, which is $45/month. It also had a one time maintenance fee of $450 due at closing. When I'm in the US I live in the Gulf Shores, Alabama area. The condo maintenance (HOA) fees typically range from $300/month to $700/month. $7,200 - $16,000 every 24 months. 😳

@JakeSnowLiveSimple

Жыл бұрын

The air pollution is seasonal due to the annual burn. It's not any worse than the air quality at times during fire season in the western US. The smoke looked heavy, but I couldn't smell it, and it didn't affect my breathing like forest fire smoke in the US. Regardless, 3 months of smoke-filled air every year would be a good reason to think twice about moving there. I think the total number of deaths in Thailand related to air pollution was 29,000 nationwide in 2021.
