Hi fellow BP'ers,

I am trying to help a dear friend, who recently inherited a property in Suriname (former Dutch colony in South America) and needs to find out all she can regarding the property (registration details, valuation, etc.). What sources are available to the public and are any of them online? I read that there may be quite a bit of corruption going on there and I am trying to decipher what proper steps to take, in order to help her avoid trouble and get the most accurate information, promptly and securely. 

Perhaps you guys may be able to help: @Dave Arlaud, @David Smiley, @Jerryll Noorden, @Audia Linkers

Thank you kindly!

Hi BP investors,

I would appreciate any information you may wish to share regarding real estate investing in East Germany (e.g. Leipzig, Altenburg, etc.), preferably from personal experience. Anything will be helpful including the challenges involved, opportunities, expected CAP rates, preferred locations, areas to avoid and why, etc.

Thank you!

Thanks, @Steve Nowak and @Jason Bott, for your input. I was't aware that this type of clause was common practice, but I suppose that since it is providing mutuality, it is acceptable.

Hi all,

Hope you can shed some light on the following and perhaps help prevent a mistake that a good friend of mine might be in the midst of making. My friend is about to sign a Property Management agreement, which contains the following indemnification clause:

Owner will carry its customary insurance as shall be acceptable owners mortgage lender. Agent shall carry adequate, reasonable and customary insurance, including any insurance required by applicable law. In the performance of its duties hereunder, Agent will comply with all applicable laws. Owner and Agent each agree to indemnify the other for its (and its agents' employees) negligence or willful misconduct and/or breach of this agreement.

The is actually the first time I am seeing such a clause and I am a bit weary, especially with regards to the indemnification sentence. Are any of you familiar with this type of wording? What exactly does it mean and is it safe to sign, as is, or would you have any suggestions as to how it would be best to modify it?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Bracha

Hi @Pawel Zolkos

If you wouldn't mind sharing your thoughts about investing in Poland, which seems to be a slightly undeveloped market, compared to say the US, that would be great! Many of us investors are looking for interesting opportunities and many times investments in slightly undeveloped markets, can be very lucrative. What are the challenges & opportunities that you have seen and what types of future do you foresee for this market?
