Can foreigners buy a house or land?

Most foreigners cannot own land directly. Condos are possible if within the foreign quota. Long leases and company routes exist — get proper legal advice.

How much deposit is normal for rent?

Common is 1–2 months security plus 1 month in advance. Check the inventory list, meter readings, and contract terms before paying.

Are agents free for renters?

Often the landlord pays the agent. Confirm the fee and who pays before any viewings.

How long does a condo transfer take?

With cash and documents ready, it can be 1–3 weeks. Financing and due diligence can add time.
