How much use would you need to get out of it to make it cost effective to tie up that money when it could be invested elsewhere.

I live here full time and on my villa the owner makes a 3% rental return on its value. while my money is outside of Thailand doing a damn site better than 3% !! In purely cost benefit terms its not a sound financial idea for my situation.

Of course theres lots of reasons for home ownership beyond purely finance but thats my 2 satang.
