What you receive

Pages from a real client report.

Anonymised: names, areas and links replaced. The numbers are real.

01One real client file · June 2026

12,097 listings in budget.

Every listing for sale in the client’s city and budget, in one workbook. Names, areas and links replaced. The numbers are real.

02Three checks on every row

Each listing, checked three ways.

  • Priced against its own building
  • Rent checked against real lets
  • Every running cost counted

03The result

Five survive.

Ranked #1 to #5: the five that survived every check, best first.

04What you receive

One page each.

Every pick gets its own page, with its live listing link (replaced in this sample).

05Every figure explained

Why it made the five.

  • Priced against its own building. 79% of the median price per m² across 36 sale listings in the same building.
  • Rent from real lets. 4 rental listings: same building, same bedrooms, matched on size.
  • Every running cost counted. The yearly service charge is in the numbers, estimated where it was not listed.
  • Estimated net yield, low–high: 6.26–7.31%. From real lets in the same building and every running cost. An estimate, not a forecast or a promise.

I’m Stan Brinkman.

Founder and property analyst, Brinkman Data.

I bought two condos in Thailand with my own money, and I publish both, including the one that nets less.

I take no commission from sellers, agents or developers. You pay for the research, so the only thing I am paid to do is tell you which listings hold up.

FAQ

Common questions

Does this work in my country?

Yes. The method works in any city where property is for sale, any budget. The examples on this page are from Thailand because that is where I bought my own two units. Put your city in the brief and I analyse every listing available right now, from scratch.

Why pay you when an agent is free?

An agent is paid when a sale happens, usually from the purchase itself. That is a fair job, and a different one. You pay me and nobody else does, so the only thing I am paid for is telling you which listings hold up, including when the answer is none.

Why not just search the portals myself?

You can. Portals show asking prices. They don’t show what other units in the same building are listed at, what the unit really rents for, or what it costs each month. Comparing that across every listing is the five days of work.

What if none are worth buying?

Then the report says so, with the reasons. That answer is part of what you pay for.

What is the refund policy?

The $99 Property Review, the $99 Home Shortlist and the $99 Custom Report: a full refund until research starts. Once research on the Report has started, a refund is proportional to the work delivered. The retainer is quoted individually; we agree its terms on the call. The $5 guide has a 7-day refund, no questions asked. Full policy.
