[Retyred]

Hi everyone. My first post. Currently living in Oz, house on the market, extracting wife from somewhere on my back & looking to make a fresh start to a better life in the brave new world of smiles. Hoping to ply some much important knowlege from you guys. Would love to pay for any free advice with free beer/food/ girls with you guys! Any hotel owners BM's? Have visited many times, with & without wife, & now looking for a business so I can semi-retire. Is this possible? Can locals be trusted to carry on unsupervised at times? I have been researching Hotels/Resorts for sale & know of a few for sale with a portion of vendor financing. Registered company etc. Vendor financing is quite common? Only when times are tough? Are times that bad over there? The current real estate prices seem stretched. Are they very negotiable? Are farangs difficult to deal with in these situations? Lots of Q's!! You guys know the things that I need to know, anything you would like to add would be important & appreciated. Will ask many more Q's i'm sure. I play golf, dive, fish, drink, eat & have fun. Hope to do them with you all soon!!! Cheers, Al.
