Real Estate hits a new low in Poland [86]
i spend my time wandering from place to place bolek, taking opportunities as they present themselves. poland is one of the few countries ive gone back to - the tri city is a great place to hang out, i have good friends there and am guaranteed fun when in town
a few years ago i had the opportunity to buy property there so i took it - not much planning involved, just an opportunity that was presented and taken. ive never been interested in property that has yet to be built so bought old, renovated and sold - if you were on the ground and had time to look then there was no shortage of bargains to be found
i have a polish business partner - i put up most of the money, identified opportunities and he sorted it out all the crap which is part and parcel of doing anything in poland. we bought, flipped and re-invested for the future which was about as detailed as the plan got.
he is one of polands first 'next-generation' entrepreneurs and we have dabbled in a number of ventures together over the years - a small hotel in sopot a couple of summers back, buying and selling, event promotion, import/export etc etc
for all the fun i have when in poland the place really p!sses me off after a while and i have had no qualms expressing this here on the forum, whoever i am posting as.
i dislike the greed, the underhandedness, the lies, the deceit, rudeness, arrogance of many polish, the self-distructive, self-centred attitude which ends up being counter-productive so often. i just find myself looking at these people and thinking 'your a fukin idiot mate, arent you'. its become a joke - i just cant take many of them seroiusly anymore
anyway, now i have taken the next opportunity which has taken me to the next place. i still have property in poland and will be back at somepoint... but doubt i will have the patience to get 'involved' in anymore projects there
