Real Estate / Interesting Article on Polish Real Estate [33]

i agree with what youve said, and the results that irresponsible borrowing can have on individuals lives is tragic, but heartless as it may sound i find to sympathise too much with those who do - they must take responsibility for their borrowing

brokers number pmed - its not for the public forum

Real Estate / Interesting Article on Polish Real Estate [33]

If you've got a 350,000zl 30 year mortgage, your repayments are pretty much what you'd be paying to rent anyway that property.

my point was that many of the sub prime victims had been sold 100% mortages and look what a mess theyve gotten into

one of the things that I really like about Polish banks is that if you have property worth 200,000 Euros and you want to secure a loan of 50,000 Euros the bank asks you how you are going to make the repayments. if you cannot prove that you can make the repayment, there is no way you will get the loan. In the UK, if you want to secure a loan on the property you can do it over the phone and get an instant answer. OK you will have to fill in a few forms later but the loan is agreed in principle over the phone in a matter of minutes because the bank knows that if you default on the repayments, they take your house. then the bank can make additional revenue out of your misery/stupidity for charging you a fortune for putting your house up for auction to pay the outstanding debt.

quite, but this comes down to borrowing sensibly.

the uk system you describe above allows for the sensible borrower to prosper more easily. i borrowed for my first property in this manner, without income, and it was a sensible investment - i have prospered.

sure, you can argue that its the bank being irresponsible for the ease at which they hand out loans... but at the end of the day... when all is said and done... the bottom line is that the burden of responsibility sits squarley on the shoulder of the borrower

if you find one please let me know :-)

lol - ill give you then number of my broker... provided youre a sensible borrower ;-)

Many of these guys have re-mortgaged at home to raise the capital to invest abroad.

i think the majority of overseas investors will have raised finance at home and might find they need to make mortgage payments longer than anticipated - with obvious implications. as with this sort of situation elsewhere, there may well be rich pickings for the canny investor...

anyone else looking at american real estate?

what bank gives 100% mortgage then?

more to the point - who takes a 100% mortgage?

hi Deise - my interest is in overseas investors who have bought off-plan on borrowed money with the intention of a quick resale once the property is complete.

i am wondering if these investors will now find that their properties have not gained in value as hoped (or worse, are not going to be completed or have dropped in value, as suggested in above posts) and their rental worth is insufficient to cover repayments on their loans back home.

harbingers of doom are ten a penny on most property forums - anyone want to have a shot at what this will mean or offer advice to those who have invested in polish real estate...?

Wikipedia's data is totaly differant.

of course its different you clown - it shows 2 totally different sets of data

wiki shows suicide rate

the other site shows death by firearm - which includes suicide

the difference in data should be obvious

lol

check out this list of gun deaths per 100,000 population

USA homocide 3.98 suicide 5.92 other 0.36

Italy homocide 0.81 suicide 1.1 other 0.07

Switzerland homocide 0.50 suicide 5.8 other 0.10

"Data on suicide and firearms from other countries can be viewed as a warning to us in the UK of some of the effects of firearm possession. Most articles show that the storage of a firearm in the home predicts an increased rate of a violent death."

the choice does belong to you, and at the moment america keeps the gun. in the uk we had one too many tragedies involving firearms and changed our laws. guns are still a problem, illegal guns largely used for criminal purposes

You do have a point, but wouldn't you say that its a societal problem as much as the accesibility

its a different subject Filios - high suicide rates are obviously a societal issue but unfortunately a lot of people end up killing themselves with fire arms because of these spur of the moment decisions who wouldnt be at risk if the guns werent there.

many people wish themselves dead at one point or another - some go on to plan their death but most just get thru their down period - many people take overdoses because they are feeling sh!t with their life and then change their mind and go to hospital. you cant do this if you shoot yourself in the head

even if you got rid of all the guns in the U.S, the suicide rates would be the same

unfortunately this is not the case and again shows little understanding of the circumstances in which people kill themselves

broadly speaking people who commit suicide can be divided into 2 types - those who have given a degree of thought to taking their lives and those that kill themsleves almost as a rash decision - spur of the moment.

the ready availability of guns in both america and switzerland makes killing yourself as a result of a rash decision a lot easier than walking out of the house and finding a train to jump in front of.

its not a case of walking down to the gun shop so you can buy a gun and shoot yourself, its a case of having a fire arm at home, easily accessible in moments of distress. the process of putting a gun to your head and pulling the trigger is a lot easier then taking pills and lying down waiting to die.

if you put a gun to your head and pull the trigger you cant change your mind, call the hospital and get your stomach pumped

this is the reason why both america and switzerland have the highest suicide-by-gun rates - becasue the are sitting at home in the drawer

Whatever Bubba, I just pointed out that when you are out of arguments you're stooping down to personal attacks

as i said - when you have something inteligent to say i will give you an inteligent reply - when you just babble without thought i will call you a clown

BW...saying Switzerland has a high rate of gun-suicide is irrelevant to the topic.

???

suicide by gun is as relevant to the topic as homocide by gun
