    Good luck to him..the problem lies with the addressable market. Selling high end houses unless it’s in high net worth area will be problematic. It’s pretty simple, look at the surrounding properties..price ..how many sold ..how long etc.

  • @MikeHoncho884
    @MikeHoncho884 3 місяці тому +3

    Wow, that is a beautiful place!
    But man, if you don’t have it sold before you build it or know that it will sell you’re doing nothing but losing money. I can’t imagine building a place like that in the Philippines. Unless the price was so inflated, he could knock it down 20% percent.
    Not having that many more years left to live, I could think of better things to do than building houses .
    But I guess it’s to each their own . 👍

    We made them 50/50 cement to sand… very strong… Hollow blocks that are sold by others usually only use 20% or 30% cement… not good..

    The hollow blocks really don't support anything. The columns and beams are supposed to do all of the support. The walls could be bamboo and nipa. 19.5 million is a good price. He may want to raise it, because the right buyer would pay more for it.
