You are better off renting and sleeping peacefully at night...I wish I could convince my wife of that. She hates that we are "throwing away" money on rent.Ugh. The fallacy of "throwing your money away on rent". What about the ... Read More

Just remember 2 things: first is the limitation, 50 years for foreigners to own a property in Vietnam, you can renew afterward but the law has just been in practice recently so no one is sure about that. second is verification, just verify all the ... Read More

Don't know what Devere is but if I understand your question about where to spend your money, it's an easy answer. Buy low fee index funds in your own country. It's the simplest way to let your money grow with little tax ... Read More

I just stayed at VinHomes central park (airbnb) and was pleased. Which builders are good in HCM? I'm really interested in buying something in a year. I'm staying at Masteri right now, and I think the quality is a level down from VinHomes. Read More

Hey, off topic, but is Timo a good bank? I am thinking about opening an account there. I thought it might be easier to get around Vietnam with a local bank account (e.g. paying bills, etc.). I also have the 12 months visa. However, I heard a guy ... Read More
