Thai is correct, 1scorp for flips,1llc for rentals(later adding more llcs as you acquire more rentals if you wish)sorry about any double posting..phone is acting upSebastian

Thai, Vietnamese, Korean food fanatics will bring you to the east.  

@Huy Thai @Fred Heller info above was very helpful thanks.

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?

At the moment, THA is granting in most zip codes within (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Polk, and Pasco counties) a higher than avg. rental rates, which in terms are great for an investor looking to generate a higher cash flow.

That way if they grow - erm "herbal products", they'll at least be on the hook for the bill for the power that comes from the utility above your system's capability.

It may be another 5 years before I purchase something in another country because I would want to wait until the children are gone. we love Thailand and the Thai people I looked at condos there last trip.. but the reality of 16 hour flight to Hong Kong and then 4 to Pukhet even though we fly business class always.. its just too long of a flight.. to use often.. 

If you meant $1700 with interest and taxes, her balance after 3 years and 6 months would be $161839.62.
