Vietnam
I live in Vietnam and when I look at the economic dynamic of the country I feel like it`s a right country to invest. I beleive, HCMC, Nha Trang and Vung Tau are the best spots for buying an apartment.
However, I see quite many obstacles and problems...
My questions are:
-Can I sell an apartment on a final stage of costruction without pink book?
-Can I purchase in cash, and do seller demand the proof of funds?
( My situation is that I stay here under tourism visa. I`ve made some money working on freelance basis. But, due to unability to transfer money abroad, I am very confused how can I transfer them out. Money Gram, Western Union and other money transfers are only acceptable to recieve money, but not to send. My brothet is going to send me some more money in order to buy a property. So,real estate investment seems to be a good option in my case...But I am confused if it will work well in practice)
-Is it possible to transfer money abroad in case I sell it later?
Thailand
Also, I have looked at buying property in Thailand, and I think there are some good deals too...
They offer fully-equipped apartments in the beach area for a very reasonable price..But, again, there are a lot of new projects coming, so it looks like there is no garantie I can make profit after buying one. And cash transfer makes it so complicated, unless come in and out Vietnam transfering cash with me on a hand bag...
-But, again, what`s the procedure of transfering money abroad in case I decide to sell it in the final stage of costruction?
-Is it better to consider Thailand or Vietnam?
Many thanks,

p.s. I`m sorry for any grammar mistakes and some questions that might be too obvious for experienced investors. It would simply be my first time dealing with real estate,so I`m looking for an advice, not a criticism)
