There are two ways to use VND 2 billion (≈ USD 78k): buy a unit outright in that price range, or use it as a deposit and finance the rest. Below are the real numbers for both, from units on sale this morning. Note that Vietnamese banks rarely lend to foreigners, so financing usually means the developer's instalment plan or money raised at home.

Ask whether the price includes the 2% maintenance fee. Registration fee is 0.5% of the value. Add furniture if the unit is handed over bare. Keep about 3% to 5% of the price aside for these.

Tell us your budget and what you need. You get back a personal sheet: three ways to deploy the money, the cash you need each quarter, expected rent, and the resale price you must reach to break even at your own cost of capital.
A sheet for the exact unit you are looking at: the true total cost under each payment plan, the hidden interest in deferred payment, expected rent, and your break-even resale price.
Our promiseWe tell you the weak points too. If the numbers say do not buy, that is what you will hear.
I run a restaurant chain and a legal and investment advisory firm for foreigners doing business in Vietnam. I am also a registered agent of a primary property distributor, so I earn a commission when you buy through me.
I say that first because it cuts both ways. It means I have a reason to want you to buy, and it also means I have access to the live inventory and can count every unit every morning. The way I keep myself honest is by publishing the numbers, including when they say do not buy.
If you are a foreigner buying in Vietnam, I handle what comes after you choose: proof of funds for moving money in and out, the contract, and rental tax. That is the part a property agent normally leaves to you.
