Or should he put the property all in his name? He is aware of the sad stories of foreign men who had put the properties soley in their Vietnamese wives' names only to be divorced many years later and could not 'salvage' back the costs of the properties. This is to safeguard his interests.

Can foreigners own properties in Vietnam?

Property ownership in Vietnam goes by 99 years lease and freehold like in Singapore?

Must property owners pay for the right/Government permission to farm the land or to build a house on it?
Foreigners cannot own land, but if she can be trusted,the land is as good as yours.

But the question is, buy and build house for who and for what?
