Since the epidemic is under control, every month, I only receive 5-6 million VND. Seeing that the situation was not good, I decided to sell it at the price of 1.5 billion dongs, a loss of 400 million dongs. Even so, my condotel has not been sold yet,” said Phuong Anh.

In the actual process of issuing red books for these products, it is necessary to be flexible, remove obstacles in administrative procedures to soon have enough legality, help put them into circulation, and create liquidity for the economy. , helping to reduce bad debt.


Mr. Tran Xuan Luong - Doctor of Real Estate (National Economics University) - shared, the issuance of certificates only solves disputes between investors and customers.
