condo rental

[scottish-guy]

.. foreigners can't own homes here, the only way to have a deed in your name is a condo.

I'm sure there are ways round everything (you could put it in your BF's name) - but my comment was of course tongue in cheek, as is the immediately preceding one in brackets

For a foreigner to own his own home, the usual procedure is to set up a company with the foreigner as major share holder. When selling the home, the signatures of the minority share holders are required. I did this twice, once at Rabbit and once at View Talay Villas.
