    The value of that condo are the facilities and location. And the place looks well managed and maintained. Well presented video. I can see a 65+ year old choosing to settle in this resort type development.

    This condo was featured on Alma’s channel for 27.5m so it already dropped by 6m. You can get a 3hp carrier for 80k. It’s a beautiful condo but still overpriced in my opinion. I think 15m is more appropriate. Condos are overpriced generally in the Philippines and a correction is coming.

    The best is buy a land and built on it. Make sure you have a good architect and builder. My cousin in Cebu City had a good architect and the house was modern with high ceilings. If your older get a one story house. You don’t want to be climbing up and going down the stairs.

    I'm a real estate appraiser and can tell you that investing in a condo is not a smart investment in SE Asia. Condos especially are overpriced and you will never get your money back if you want to sell (if you even find a buyer). Better to rent. Don't build or buy. Westerners always have a built in default that makes us believe that buying means security (I've been guilty of that in the past). Fight the urge and rent. If rents to high there are many countries where rent is dirt cheap and so is the cost of living.

      You can walk for kilometers in both directions along this beautiful beach with brown sand. Just a couple of meters from the shore, there’s a stunning coral reef visible even with basic swimming goggles. Unfortunately, trash is an issue across most of the Philippines, with only a few exceptions.

    Investing $370k in the flip land is insane and why, what for 🤯 what’s the need unless you want become another expat statistic who lost big. There is a reason why that expat is trying to sell this property and it’s been on the market for at list 8 month that I know of or maybe more.
    Guys do not buy (invest) absolutely nothing aside from buying a motorcycle and car that are always easy to sell. You can always pick up and go move anywhere you want, nothing is holding you down like anchor plus your hard earned money must help you like invest in your own country’s realestate or better give it to me and I will hold it for ya 😊
    Happy new years to all, stay safe and be smart.

      Well to be precise there are a few specific ways for foreigners to own land. One is if their Filipina wife passes away, the foreigner will inherit 50% of the property (land and house). The other half gets divided among their children. If the children are young the foreigner will have de facto control. If there's no children then the remaining half will be divided among her immediate family (her parents and siblings). This situation might seem unrealistic but it does happen when the Asawa dies from cancer or other illness, or accident. The other way is to form a corporation to buy the property. But get a very good attorney to set this up correctly.

    • @Dilligaff-d2f

      @albathoughtsofficial yes that all works but the corporation side of it doesn't work

    • @albathoughtsofficial
      @albathoughtsofficial 23 години тому

      @@Dilligaff-d2f I'm not sure what you mean by "doesn't work"... But here is what the law says: Ownership through a Corporation: Foreigners can indirectly own land through a corporation. Philippine law allows corporations with up to 40% foreign equity to own land. However, the majority of the corporation's shareholders (at least 60%) must be Filipino. If there are 3 Filipino investors, each could own 20%. This reduces financial risk for the Foreigner and still allows him to own the biggest share. This is a commonly used method for foreigners who wish to invest in real estate while staying within legal limits." Now if you're worried about your 3 local investors ganging up on you, you would also put in place a separate contract, whereby the corporation agrees to lease the land to you for a period of X years, and make the lease agreement renewable. This is the basic structure. Its doable. Maybe technically you are not the majority shareholder (over 50%), but you will be by far the biggest shareholder and have control over the property, without having had to pay 100%. I have 3 foreign friends who did this. However the actual contract is obviously going to cover many possible legal scenarios and be a lengthy legal document.
