Re: Build it, and they will come
Empty buildings are the same as money in the bank. Money in the bank earns ? interest and is getting lower, money in blocks and mortar can only go up, if labour cost and demand go up.willyhilly[b] wrote:What will happen to these empty buildings[/b]?
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Generally that's true but without a market to buy you're sitting on an asset you can't liquefy.Duncan wrote:Empty buildings are the same as money in the bank.

I much rather put that same money in CD's.

Duncan in your first post you said ” so I guess it's going to be left up to the 0.01 % of the billion Chinese population to immigrate to Cambodia and buy them”.
Why on earth would the Chinese be interested in buying anything in Cambodia when there are 64 million empty condominiums in China. This is enough floor space to cover the entire city of Madrid.

Re: Build it, and they will come
because buying property for speculation is about returns, precisely there is a glut of condos in china (theory of vicious cycle) which diminish their value and returns thats why some (highly mobile or educated ones) are looking outside of china, in my short tenure as a property agent, i have seen rich chinese or arabian drop a few millions to snap up few properties without even as much as step a foot in the country, while they still have empty property sitting else where.obelisks wrote: 64 million empty condominiums in China.
the problem is that many people still have that old school of thought that properties are safe investment (because some wise guru told them years ago that there is only so much land on earth, but what the wise guru meant to say is that there is only so much "good" land on earth)
Money is not the problem, the problem is no money

Yes your right, but the Chinese can see big opportunities here , that is staring the Cambodians in the face and they cannot see it. That's why they will come, or should I say, a lot more will come, as there is already a big population of Chinese here already.

but the Chinese economy itself is heading for a crash according to this Chinese economist?
This economist thinks China is headed for a 1929-style depression
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/this-e ... 2016-06-30In a recent interview with MarketWatch, Xie said China’s trajectory instead resembles the one that led to the Great Depression, when the expansion of credit, loose monetary policy and a widespread belief that asset prices would never fall contributed to rampant speculation that ended with a crippling market crash
China in 2016 looks much the same, according to Xie, with half of the country’s debt propping up real-estate prices and heavy leverage in the stock market — indicating that conditions are ripe for a correction.
“The government is allowing speculation by providing cheap financing,” Xie told MarketWatch. China “is riding a tiger and is terrified of a crash. So it keeps pumping cash into the economy. It is difficult to see how China can avoid a crisis.”

Hey Duncan, buildings deteriorate very quickly in the tropics. In five years those buildings will need millions spent to tidy them up.

Re: Build it, and they will come
I'm liking the Prince Cullinan Bay one, is that the one nobody can work out where it's supposed to be? Near Victory Monument, eh? There's been fuck all happening at D'Sea-not-so-view for the last six months of rainy season. This was not long after they were driving piles and trying to do the foundations, so I guess they've found the half a mile of sticky clay mush that was underneath the swamp and have gone away to think about the 14 floors of underground parking they'll be adding.

Re: Build it, and they will come
Build it and they will come ? Yes indeed !
Once I finally put a for rent sign on my SHV apartments building and called a few real estate agencies, the 6 units I had available were taken in 2 weeks.
