NovComparing countries, cities and markets
A country comparison is useful only when the objective is consistent. Keep owner occupation, rental income, capital preservation, migration and remote ownership as different decisions; one table cannot select a market for you. Compare ownership form, full budget, tax, payment route, management and exit rather than one promotional metric.

- Comparing Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Dubai or Bali by price per square metre alone gives a distorted picture. Start with what a foreign buyer can actually own, how payments work and how realistic a future resale may be.
- The same advertised yield can sit on top of very different costs and risks. Vacancy, management, taxes, building expenses and resale restrictions matter more than a headline percentage.
- A more useful question is not which country is best, but which market fits the job: living there, rental income, capital preservation or an eventual exit. Once the objective is clear, many seemingly comparable options stop being comparable.
