Yup,agreed 100%.I still wonder if anyone has noticed that Americans are always proud to brag how cheap they bought something and was a deal,where as people with new money tend to brag about how much they paid for something(Usually high price)
But to be fair, this is true in most developing countries where wealth is relatively new,

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]
Yeah,I bought Model x in 2015 but missed lexus lx 570 and went back to it in 2018.I booked Cyber truck which will come out in 2022 maybe earlier in NJ with SUMMON feature,AWD and 500 mile range on full charge.LOL paid over 2000$ to install super charger at home also which will finally be handy again.Even though it comes with free life time charging at Tesla charge points.Plus Tesla cars a basically maintenance free,no oil changes etc main expenses are tires & brakes. and 8 year warranty on battery.
I see maybe 15/20 electric chargers under Plac Kultury in Warsaw and all are always busy and people waiting in line to charge there cars.There are more electric cars in Poland then anyone here thinks of.There are all kind of models.Almost every manufacturer has a electric vehicle or coming out with one.
Your Tesla stocks will hit 600$ for sure as Musk will get 12 bil shares(or $ in shares as bonus i forgot).Maybe after it reaches that mark shares might fall or maybe keep shooting up.
Good luck pal.

Guess what?You are assuming wrong.Zlota 44 decreased there prices in 2019 to 22k a sq m furnished and my offer just to see there counter offer was 15k furnished,I would never buy anyway with such a high cynsz.They still invited me for further negotiations but I was just killing time.The prestige thingy is new yet in Poland and fading away rapidly,people are finally facing the reality.Then again there are the elites and the rich.
Managements in Poland are worse then municipalities of townships in USA.I usually dont pay more then MAXIMUM of 8/9 pln a sq m until its top class location and very high potential.

And Yes again Poland has more opportunities and less people competing to make it up there.I feel good that the govt is giving away money so opportunity to rise gets easier:) for the smart ones.

Not if the properties were bought in between 2000&2005 at 3800 to 5000 pln sq m.There yields are fantastic.Your 5% yielding property must have A grade tenant with prominent location.Yes in US there are some that yield even 4.25%.Normally now you can find properties that will yield 7 to 9%,this Jan I got one on Belvederska in Warsaw yielding 8.5%.If you look around plenty come by even lately these buggers are asking till 21k a sq m foolishly.Check your PM pls.
