The old downtown area of Jungwon-gu, Seongnam, where four to five-story row houses are lined up.
There are many dilapidated houses built in the early 1990s, so there is hope for redevelopment.
It is said that there is a lot of demand for ‘gap investment’ because you can buy a house for tens of millions of won if you use a jeonse.
One of them is a row house.
According to the registration, the owner is Shin Mo, who was born in 1990.
In July 2020, I bought this 38-square-meter house for 175 million won.
It is a typical ‘gap investment’ method, in which, following ten days of the contract, the charter was paid for 120 million won and actually only 50 million won was spent.
Shin’s father is a candidate for Seongnam Mayor Shin Sang-jin, who served as a four-term lawmaker in the region.
At the time of the contract, Shin’s daughter, a 30-year-old graduate student, lived in an officetel in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, and still lives in Seoul.
A local real estate agent said that he sold 90 similar properties in three months, and the market price has risen by more than 100 million won now.

The area for redevelopment promised by Candidate Shin includes a row house invested by her daughter.
Candidate Shin explained in a phone call with MBC, “I bought it for the purpose of living when my daughter received 50 million won from her grandmother to get a job.”

“I had all the money I received from my grandmother, so I thought I would live following graduating from graduate school and get a job, so I rented a…
He also emphasized that he promised to redevelop several places in the Seongnam area as well as the area, and that it had nothing to do with the purchase of his daughter’s house.
However, when the conflict of interest problem was pointed out, candidate Shin said, “I will sell the house if I am elected,” and then texted once more, saying, “I put it out to sell to real estate.”
