Pire, my house is located in a ridiculously convenient location. Further, its close to a number of top notch embassies, UN Offices, ministries etc. 

But the problem is, my parents don't wish to rent it out to Indians ( mades ) or Nepalese ( which Nepali in his/her right mind be willing to shell out 200-400k/ month in their right mind anyways, regardless of how modern the house is ). They've prioritized foreigners working for embassies, INGOs etc and that's where brokers come into play. The foreigners and the offices that they want to work with always deal using brokers and the brokers are always looking for bargains. That's what has hurt people big time. 

We've tried advertising the house in various media but to no avail. Some say that the house and the land is too big while some say they'd rather find somewhere cheaper....
