Stan Brinkman, mid-20s, Dutch, BBA Amsterdam. Deployed personal capital into one Chiang Mai freehold after 18 months of fieldwork. The framework that surfaced it became Brinkman Data.
The Bio
Every investment decision I make is driven by one mathematical absolute: opportunity cost. When I ran the numbers on Western property — 7% mortgage, three decades of interest, appreciation that loses to inflation once net of fees — the math was broken. Holding was a liability. That gap is also how my work differs from a real estate agent — the agent’s job is to close a transaction, mine is to underwrite one.
So I built a 5-step underwriting protocol, ran 1,000+ Chiang Mai listings through it over 18 months, and bought one of the few that survived all five filters: a 2.15M THB freehold, paid in cash. The net yield is documented line by line in the case study — verified on a Chanote deed in my name.
That single asset was the proof of concept. The framework that surfaced it became Brinkman Data — the firm now applies the same methodology and publishes the output as research, not advice — why I publish independent property research, instead of selling deals.

Buyer reviews and brand verification →The Thesis
The market has brokers, developers, and lifestyle bloggers. None of them are paid to publish the math. That’s the gap.

// Field Footage
“Exactly what I was looking to get started in buying a condo. I feel confident now that I’m not starting from scratch. Stan told me I could reach out to him if I ever got stuck — quite reassuring.”
