Hi there,
I just came back from my ski holiday in Bulgaria. It seems this year the popular ski resort Bansko has turned into building site with many Brits and Irish snapping in frenzy off-plan flats that are never seem enough to satisfy demand. No surprise when this place proves to be both good investment with 30% annual growth and a nice place for ski holiday. Since I always wanted to buy on a mountain but the traditional Apline resorts are too expensive I have decided to join the crowds before it is not too late and started looking in property web sites specializing in ski properties in Bulgaria. I was pleasantly surprised that prices for ski apartments in another resort Pamporovo start at 20,000 quid for a studio in a luxury development. The big change this year for property investors in Bulgaria will be the arrival of more airlines, such as Ryanair and Easyjet, cutting the cost of travel from UK and boosting the number of visitors which I hope will help pushing up the price of my Bulgarian dream. One day I will sell it and hope to make a heathy profit.

What do you think about my plans?

If you want to know more and to see the prices this selection of agencies’ web links www.bgproperty.com is a good starting point. Of course there many other sites that can help you to get the full picture.

Nick

So your "Bulgarian dream" isn't actually about a simple life in a beautiful place; sharing the rich culture of honest, down-to-earth people; and skiing to your heart's content?

Your "dream" is to make a killing through real estate speculation?

Don't get me wrong...I'm a dyed-in-the-wool capitalist. I wish nothing but success for the people who are investing their hopes, energy, and money into this ski resort.

Forgive me if I don't share the same enthusiasm for a person who spams skiing forums in a lame attempt to drive up real estate prices. The people who do the actual work...building and running the ski area; cooking and serving meals; operating shops and inns...end up getting screwed. The money that should be circulating in the local economy, that should have been creating opportunities for them to improve their lives, has left the country in the pockets of scammers like you.

I sincerely hope that your despicable Ponzi scheme fails miserably. I pray that someday you wind up a beggar on a cold desolate corner; cursing at the pedestrians who cross the street to escape the stench of your vomit and feces encrusted clothes. Shivering in a pool of your own urine, you feebly attempt to shield yourself from the harsh wind by wrapping yourself in a discarded newspaper. A newspaper whose feature article describes the remarkable story of how a popular ski resort has brought prosperity to the people of Bansko.

Just before succumbing to hypothermia, I hope that your few remaining functional neurons allow you to appreciate the sweet irony.

Look further, and it might be good........

All: Bansko could be an excellent place for the hardcore skier. The peak, twadorka(sp) has some fantastic looking couliors and supposedly the powder lasts a great deal of time at the area. There is a fledgling guiding and catski operation there and if hit in the next couple years could be a very interesting ski. It's certainly on my list to try and check it out.
