Either You need to get it in writing per a contract with the collection agency that they will remove any and all instances of their company from your credit report after you pay them orThe option that best works for you…negotiate with the original creditor with the same contract.

I have a title agency that will do a courtesy close for a fee.

Taking the Government out of it what could you lease it for if you made the improvements and the Government agency bailed?

or is there any credit agency that I can report to so they credit score would reflect the late payments?

Down the rabbit hole: spending all day tracking down a property "owner"20 Calls later, with no less than 10 government agencies tacked on to the end, I end up with a final "I don't know what to tell you sir, we down own that property."

This can be difficut when dealing with gov't agencies.

a 65% LTV secured loan that we'd be offering would have the equivalent of an A rating or better (obviously you wouldn't state it in this fashion since your loan is not rated by a rating agency).Yes, this is relatively illiquid and as such, it would be strongly suggested that this constitute no more than 25% of an investor's assets.

And trust me on this point, I have litigated against some real fun cases before, like state agencies, you want some good times try that.

Im thinking of putting maybe half of it in stocks and other half in real estate.In bangkok, a newly built mid-end condo, with modern facilities, carparks,for a 1 bed, 40 sqm in good location, fairly near sky train and fully furnished is maybe around 3m-4m baht. agency says i cud get around 22k-25k baht a month but im guessing its prob more like 15k-20k baht. most Thai wages will not be able to afford the rent, but its ideal for expats working in bkk. so the return is maybe around 6% before all costs, vacancy periods and appreciation/depreciation.ive been reading a lot of negative and pessimistic views about condo as a buy-to-let especially in bkk. there r so many condos in bkk and many being built as land is not scarce yet cos old buildings can be cleared and new projects started easy. and other factors i dont know. also traffic is a nightmare and the condos that are centrally located (and most expensive) have one of the worst traffics (altho it wud prob be near sky train or underground which would be ok for expats.keep in mind that i ll be paying in lump sum, wouldnt mind to gain some real estate exposure (im fairly interested in the industry),do you think its worth it to buy a condo in bkk as a buy-to-let?

That is, we don't want to work for any broker/agency.
