Off-Topic / Funny mistakes by Polish users of English [34]

we still talk about it in family and joke that in todays date you would think someone is attacking you and if you are armed you will pull out your weapon before deciding who to fire at esp when they would just say "FIRE PLEASE"

Off-Topic / Funny mistakes by Polish users of English [34]

In early 2000s when I use to smoke I was asked in Poland for FIRE,initially I was like WTF?then I realised it meant lighter or a match to light a smoke.In US we say :"Can I have a light please",I dont know whats right though.

Work / A job at a real estate agent vacancy in Wroclaw [22]

Sorry man if I offended you in any way,I didnt mean to at all.I was just telling you with my experience as a non Polish person visiting Poland for the last 19 years every month.There are some crazy laws in Poland and as a foreigner one will not get them and learn by paying a price financially.

Real estate is big almost in every developed or developing country,I live by the shore area where summer rental houses can be over 50k USD a month also,even in Poland there are tiny shiet hole flats that they ask 45k Pln a sq m to buy and rents went down in around 2008/9/10 but are now coming back up.As a foreign realtor esp with no knowledge of Polish it will be very hard for you personally until you open an office and hire Polish speaking agents(in fact there are plenty I know in Warsaw from Ukraine,Armenia,Russia etc).I can never imagine a non English speaking or even English speaking Pole will ever trust a foreigner to rent his flat for a comission.Good luck any way in your venture.

Bud,flipping properties in Poland is usually not a good idea as you have to pay very high tax(I forgot how much like 19 to 23%) if you sell before 5 years until you reinvest in 1 or 2 years (I forget too,there is a loophole in that too with calendar years).

Also beware of taking advice from every tom dik & harry here.Ask for there business/practical experiences and not google expertise.

@cms,I agree with you,He should consider opening an Nigerian restaurant instead.Use to be one Anderska in Warsaw but has been shut down.Anyway most foreigners are more successful doing that until they are professionals in there field.

And to make contacts he has to be bilingual or open a real estate office and hire agents which takes a lot of time(in years).

Only 10% chance that you will ever will until you have an unexperienced foreigner.Do you really think landlords will trust you with there vacant property to rent it??WAKE UP!

Seriously dude,You think someone in Poland gives a flying fug who were you and where you came from doing what?


Dirk he can with the elite but with normal people he will fail badly esp in renting area.KNowledge part comes with experience so I can bet he should save enough to live for 1 year at least learning and gathering information.We know a guy here who has failed badly in his business venture of helping foreigners in there work including real estate.

USA, Canada / Packages sent from Poland to USA "held" in customs? [13]

NO matter how you send the package,it has to go through customs.I was at customs office in Warsaw and they have seperate enterances for bug companies and courriers to pick up there stuff AFTER INSPECTION.

Food / American baking products (bread, shortening, etc) [19]

Indian & Mexican food suks in Warsaw atleast.Its not at all authentic and catered to Polish taste.Fugging salatka with every dish almost and so is vietnamese.Lately I have been having dinner from Duzo Mia,vietnamese place by me on Zlota where I hate that they charge me extra 50 grolsh for take out.Once I had real good Indian in heenka market at a kiosk operated by a pakistani guy.he made really good meat dishes with chinsy/flimsy naans(they save on flour i guess)but too far to drive just for food.

Polish food is the best in Poland at those canteens in public office buildings esp outside Warsaw and cheap,I really enjoy that food.
In hardrock I only like there onion rings and Saigonkis.
@cms-do you live around there?
Der Elephan by plac bankowy has good seafood now though.

You might get a small percentage for bringing clients to them and they usually adjust to your/clients schedule also.In Poland residential rentals are usually for foreigners who use agents and overpriced usually.Locals mostly never use agents or try to beat you for comission.Commercial buyers usually pay 1% unless the property is hot then 2.5%.In Wroclaw there are lots of foreigners too so lack of Polish should not hinder you.

I am not an agent but deal with them on regular basis soknow little tricks.

Work / A job at a real estate agent vacancy in Wroclaw [22]


that dont mean more money.Whats you goal money or more work with less money.My motive has always been less work and more money.

For a rental you might make a months rent minus 50% agency fee while in commercial you might sell less but a deal can fetch you more with equal amount of work and not to mention not dealing with rogue(suitcase clients I call them) clients then financially stable responsible people.

You will need contacts though anyway with a Notariousz,lenders etc though.You can cater to english speaking or elite Polish clientele though with right strategy.

Life / Is it safe for Indians, Sikhs living here in Poland? Any Temple / Gurudwara in Wroclaw? [159]


I read about that one which was mainly catering to Indians,Also I suspect the same is happening in Poland mostly catering to South Asians.Little crummy office in a office building registerd as a university/school/college to get student visas for which agents are making millions of euros in Poland.

You want to do residential or commercial?sales or rentals?Sales is more money less hassel so is commercial.BTW which country are you from?

Law / Getting loan, overdraft or credit card in Poland [8]

There are some loan sharks I heard in Warsaw I think Armenians?Russians who charge 3 to 5% A MONTH(36 to 60% a year).
