About Stan

Inside the map

No brochure. Just the law.

Six countries, one comparison table, and the universal due-diligence that decides whether a foreign deal is real before you spend a cent.

01
The one question. “Can a foreigner even own this?” has six different answers across SE Asia — and the word “freehold” on a listing hides which one applies to you.
02
The country-by-country map. Thailand, Bali, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Cambodia — what you own, the land, the term, the foreign cap, and how you register, side by side in one table.
03
The cost lines nobody prices. The gap between the brochure’s headline price and the all-in cost — the lines most foreign buyers never see until the notary’s desk.
04
The 6 universal deal-breakers. The conditions that kill a foreign property deal anywhere in the region — before you even open a spreadsheet.

If The Map Checks Out

The map tells you where you can own. The playbook tells you how to underwrite it.

The free map is the whole region at a glance. Each country playbook is the 5-step framework you run yourself — the quota check, the title verification, the fee stack, the net-yield math, the exit. Same methodology I ran across 1,000+ listings.
