But I liked the insight into the Chinese investing hordes.

Please share more about what the new masters are thinking in real estate investments.

Why do you say he needs a break? The only poster who was rude, just withdrew his comment.
OTOH, we need to consider that someone might fall for Basta's rosy sales pitches and end up losing money. Like any realtor he is representing the seller and he is motivated to make his pitch accordingly. It's only right and proper that we challenge his statements where appropriate. The data I linked comes from another realtor who is not impartial either but is professional enough to present solid data, and it paints a much less rosy picture than does Basta.

I am happy when you guys write reasonable critics. Discussing about real estate on CEO is a teaching experience for me. I have seen here intellectual people here.
Buyers/tenants of big sized properties [should] never just listen to a realtor but [should] interpret the data and arguments by herself or by the help of professionals. Investment can't be made by mere opinion. You should have a reason and a solid plan unless you are after selling the contract which has given very high return on investment last years when the Chinese came.

high returns are always correlated to a high risk called speculation in many business areas. When making business plans (or investment decisions) people tend to listen to overestimated returns (touted by the sellers and their helpers) and underestimate costs and risks of the investment. Many of the investment opportunities touted on those islands are made for people who can afford loosing some millions without a remorse.

I wouldn't call Samloem Saracen Bay high or medium risky. after tourism revives, it is almost impossible not to profit for a well managed business. location is nice, there will be bookings from maps.

Yes, we sellers polish the product. The buyer shall calculate costs, spendings until end of corona, expected revenue, what it contributes to the investors life, etc. This part is not a part of my job, however i can recommend some finance experts to get consultancy or just simple calculations and comparision with other sectors that the buyer can invest and handle with this amount of money.
