    Raise a reliable tenant’s rent or accept the gap to market?

    How comparable is that R$35,650 figure? Is it for occupied properties in similar condition, with the same furnishings, services and student-housing arrangement, or simply the advertised rent for vacant units? Asking rent is not necessarily achieved rent. I’d also want to know when the current...

    Seoul first-time buyer: is ₩40m enough cash after closing on a country home?

    Wait for the inspection before deciding whether ₩40m is comfortable. Ask for findings to be separated into urgent safety or weatherproofing work, items that could deteriorate if delayed, and cosmetic issues. A long inspection list can look frightening even when most items are optional. The...

    Offering 11% below asking on a Rio condo — sensible or too aggressive?

    My preferred outcome is to buy the Rio condo at a price that reflects its condition without turning the opening bid into a personal criticism. The obstacle is the evidence: it is listed at R$2,800,000 and has sat for 117 days, but I have not found enough completed transactions to judge the...
