Today, TerraBKK Research has the answer for those who are undecided that which is worthier. In the mind of First Jobber who are renting apartment/condo, some is started question that, “If I take the money that I pay for rents pay installment in the same rate instead and get my own condo, live for a while and sell it, Is it better?

Purchase pre-owned condo in the price of 1,000,000 Baht, pay installments for 30 years 4,700 baht/month and sell it on the 5th year in the price of 1,200,000 baht” Ms. Dreamer has to consider thoroughly both 2 choice as below: Choice 1: Rent apartment/condo 4,000 baht/month for 5 years by rents can increase 3% every 2 years.
