I am currently in Thailand and will be coming to VN in about 10 days or so. I'll likely fly to HSM before going to Nha Trang and Hanoi. Perhaps we can meet over a drink so we can discuss this further? I'll prefer not to talk about my public ... Read More

Diazo, Based on what you are saying, then RE is a bad investment for local VN too? If foreign cannot do title search or have contract enforced, does it not apply to locals too? Thanks Read More
