Based on the most helpful WSO content, Korean real estate has some unique characteristics. The market is often undervalued compared to global standards, with Korean stocks trading below book value and management teams being criticized for not treating shareholders equally as owners. This undervaluation extends to real estate, where opportunities may exist for savvy investors. Additionally, Korea's technological advancements and high education levels contribute to its potential, but the market remains underappreciated globally.

I’m currently interning at a Korean REIT. Let’s discuss on pm.
It would be far more helpful if it was discussed out in the open so everyone could learn. You’re already anonymous.
Agree - how's commercial doing in korea rn? which areas most active in new dev?
In what kind of overview are you interested? Are you looking for market characteristics or what it's like to work there?
mkt characteristics - just curious, i'm korean and havent been back in a while. most attractive cap rates?
then on residential side, where are areas getting redeveloped, any places 미분양? thanks
Completely different than the US
Apparently, the construction company guarantees the construction loan at extremely high LTVs
and the developer can raise the rest of the funds/ do presales for apartment development.
heard there's a cap on the presale amounts - know what the regulatory standard is?
Could be wrong, but I think South is preferable to North.
I like the implication that someone downvoted you because they disagree.
I'm hoping its Kim Jong Un trolling on WSO. Can't be many people out there bullish on North Korea real estate that also have access to the internet.
Rent growth potential is much higher in the north, on a serious note.
