I ordered a title search on the property, but I haven't received it yet and I'm looking to make my offer ASAP as there are already three other offers on the house.How would one include a contingency on the property being free-and-clear of all liens?

I currently own my primary residence & rental free and clear.

Btw, your buyer will most likely do a title search, and if he finds a lien/claim against the property, it will be YOUR responsibility to clear it.

By pooling money you are opening up all kinds of obstacles, but certainly none that cannot be overcome if everything is clearly defined on the front end.

Here are some things to consider:- REOs come with clear title and title insurance.

In 15 years you have all the equity free and clear, not to mention a cash flowing property.Sorry, just trying to figure out what you're doing.

It was a valid question when the law is clearly written to limit the liability of owner/managers.

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 was OK but after joining our REI it became clear that more useful information came out of each 3 hour REI meeting than any of our other sources combined.

Clearly we are on a real estate site and the sentiment will flow toward the real estate side.
