Hello,
I left the apartment and got my money back in half $ and half cheque. Deposited it in the bank and withdrawing it at 3900.
In the current situation it's a bad idea to buy an apartment unless you have CASH USD. If you do, then you can negotiate easily.
Not really because you cannot get your money from the banks and you never know if you will ever get them. However, every 2 months or so, I am buying a $2000 cheque for $760 in cash.
- $760 x 7500 = 5.7m
- $2000 x 3,900 = 7.8m
So saving your cash, getting cheques, withdrawing them at 3900 is...
Hi guys. Sorry for being away. Just an update for you: I decided to drop the apartment for 2 reasons:
- I don't want to continue paying in $ or put 1,500 in the notary and later go to the court.
- He is so slow in construction.
- I got a new job with fresh $.
I got my money back in cheque. I...
Thanks everyone for your input. It has been great and useful.
I decided to switch to a smaller apartment in the building. 2 bedrooms instead of 3. Not great, but better than nothing at this stage.
I asked him, if I don't want the apartment what will you give me? He said I will take $12,000...
Thanks a lot guys for your input. Thank you @Abou Sandal always useful replies.
However, if I pay him in cheques now and he refuse to take it, he will break the contract. What if he will give me my money on the 1,500 rate? Perhaps he might give me 50,000,000 which is less than $10k at the...
Actually I paid him April, May, June ($250 and 375,000). I wanted to buy him $ so I asked for his ID to go to Serraf and he said, he wants $500 now. I said our agreement was half/half. He said from now on, as you can buy $ you have to bring it to him. But our agreement was half/half till the end...
Thanks guys.
I know $500 is not a lot, but for now: I rent another house, I pay all the bills as I am a single child taking care of my mother. So I am the only one who is working. I don't want to pay him 750,000 LBP, because that's not fair to him. But I guess I will give him a cheque of $600...
Thank you.
I agreed with him to pay half USD/LBP, So $250 in cash and $250 in LBP (375,000). In that way we split the amount together as long as the official rate doesn't change. If it does, then I have to pay him fully in USD. Now, I tried to pay him half and he said he cannot accept it as...
Hello,
In mid-2018 I bought an apartment. The owner (his first project ever) told me in 1.8 months he will finish it. 2 years has passed and he is still working on it. The work is quite slow due to the shortage of $ and the crazy rates of $.
However, I paid him $40,000 at the beginning as a...
OK, thanks. I will apply to Hungarian then. I hope they will be nice ;)
The problem is I always travel and that's why I couldn't do it before. Yes will be applying in Lebanon, next month, when I will stay here for 3 weeks at least. Let's hope for the best :D
Because I have work unfortunately. And I am a big fan of Budapest since I was young, I know Spa is awesome. But during that time I will be busy with other work.
So I want to go to Budapest and Monza.
I didn't calculate anything yet, but I have the passes already which are free. So I only need...
Hello everyone,
I travel a lot, but actually never been to Europe before. I want to go to Hungary (Budapest) to watch F1 race (30 July till perhaps 10 of August). Then I want to go to Monza starting from the 3rd of September and for 10 days.
My friends told me applying for the French embassy...
