Is it possible to own a condo as a first jobber?
Are you bored with long hours of commuting between home and work? You might want to buy a condo that is close to your workplace, or more convenient for getting around. This might seem impossible if you are a first jobber with a limited budget. However, if you plan well, owning a condo in your 20s is not out of reach.
Expenses and transfer fees: On the day you take ownership you will have to pay the mortgage fee, which is 1% of the loan amount and transfer fee, which is 2% of the appraised value of the Department of Lands. There might also be other fees.
Monthly Installments: First jobbers usually have an approximate salary of about 20,000 baht per month and the maximum monthly installments should not exceed 40% of the income.
Other expenses: Condo ownership usually involves other expenses such as sinking fund, insurance premiums and annual maintenance fees.
