Real Estate / Poland top overseas property hotspot [29]

i am fortunate enough to work with an organisation that allows me to mentor the UK's next generation of business people, many of them potential entrepreneurs... Dragon Den type scenario if that means anything to you...

You tell the media the land in your area has plenty of gold and you have found gold worth millions and there are still billions to be found. Of course, you don't tell them you did a detailed research and only scraps of gold could still be found. But you have the proof the gold used to be there so people start buying off your land in the hopes they will find millions.

if one of them presented me with such an analogy my first question would be... where are the ethics...? once the importance of ethical trading had been established i might then suggest a closer look at brand management... when punters discover the promised gold they have spent their life savings investing in doesnt exist then your name will be mud... your brand useless... a waste, no point, a futile activity... this is very much an example of what i experience here in poland... little understanding of the broarder picture...

I would especially warn Poles who don't have money and think about taking a 30-40 year mortgage from buying a "property that as potential".

for most, buying a property is a substantial investment, perhaps the largest of life. as with any substantial investment i would suggest doing the required home work prior to spending the money...

polocy boją się kredytow... fear... because they dont understand how to make it work for them yet... most of them just see it as a ticket to something they otherwise wouldnt have, without realising it comes at a price, and with responsibility...

if you do your home work, and get your sums right, then there is nothing to fear from a 30-40 year mortgage... in fact... wait a minute... if somebody is gonna lend me huge amounts of money at a reasonable rate of interest and not ask for it back for 30-40 years then thats actually quite a nice deal... thank you very much... and if i can juggle my finances so that i only invest a fraction of my costs myself... and get somebody else to pay off my loan... then yes... i am giggling my arse off all the way to the bank... and why ever not...? :)

i know you dont post as hullo :)

i focused on your nationality for 2 reasons; firstly, the synicism that seems to be inherent in polish and secondly, your approach to business...

the longer i spend *trying* to do business in poland the more i think to myself *guys, you just dont get it, do you?*... i meet so many foriegners over here that are really keen to do business in poland but really dont want to work with the polish... coz they just dont get it...

youre analogy was very simplistic - first year undergad business studies 2:2 stuff... sorry... its not my intention to offend, this is borne out of frustration of trying to work with poles who expect to get paid when i have had to hold myself back from telling them theyre fired...

and i really dont mean to offend, hello, sorry if i have

Sure, I'm Polish

yes... this is painfully obvious... please, dont explain to me how business works... patronising analogies serve no purpose but to further humiliate yourself... if indeed you had been in-the-business long enough to know how it works you wouldnt have made such a ridiculous statement in the first instance

nothing more to say

Real Estate / Poland top overseas property hotspot [29]

a recent study conducted by property investment group Assetz places poland firmly at the top of property investment worldwide with a 165% total cash return in just the first quater of 2007

the study revealed capital gains of 33% were experienced by polish properties over the same period with growth linked to eu membership contributing significantly to the strong performance

Stuart Law, md of Assetz, announced that poland looks set to lead the way for emerging markets in 2007, with strong capital growth and excellent local demand fuelling the rise. property prices in warszawa remain amongst europes lowest and the continued support of eu funding and foreign investment is attracting an increasingly young and wealthy population.

Life / Polish Driving Licence. [314]

i have just come into possession of a number of genuine copies of fake polish drivers licenses which i am happy to pass on to all those unable to get one legally...

... there is of course a small handling fee involved, a mere 999 zl which i believe is the going rate for such items...

what if she gets pneumonia

having been diagnosed with pneumonia in Poland i feel it important to stress what we consider to be pneumonia in England is not the same as Poland...

but still... i imagine she might well be upset, regardless...

Language / Building my Polish vocabulary... [19]

remeber... for every one word you learn in polish you have to remember a hundredfiftynintymillion different endings... and just when you think youve worked out what somebody's name is, you realise that actually everyone is calling them something entirely different...
