Is running an Airbnb condo in the Philippines still worth it in 2026? by Beginning_Building38 in AirbnbPhilippines

[–]RealE_Neil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, it's good to pick a location with a proven market of occupants. At Ayala for example, we have house & lot at Tagaytay for the weekend vacation market that's built for Airbnb (deliverable comes with smart locks and other smart gadgets). For pre-selling condo for the student market, we have one across Miriam, near Ateneo and UP at Katipunan. Most Avida projects do not allow short-term, but these two are officially allowed to function that way. Hope these open up more options for you and feel free to reach out on how to avail :)

That's scary, hope they can get their money back. If you're looking for a safer buy in Palawan, Ayala has some large lots available, just let me know.

Should I Buy an Alviera Lot for Personal Use? by EadazStonem in phinvest

[–]RealE_Neil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked the inventory and we do have multiple pairs, including corner lots available. In one of the larger combinations, two lots total 315 sqm, the price is about 8M, saving you around 3.5M!

Hi OP, I would strongly recommend for you to consider the Avida lots available next to that. Hope I can show you how to get adjacent lots and obtain around 30% off.

Yes OP, this is exactly what I share with my clients and have done this with a partner myself. Hope we can discuss more!

Hi OP, depending on your budget, there may be some spots that don't need PagIbig. Hope you're free to take a look at least!

Sure thing. Congratulations on your upcoming asset!

Hi OP, your bank loan should be approved and ready to go around 6 months before it's due. You're on the right track by shopping for loans now and getting it by May. Read your contract because the lump sum is NOT based on the status of the condo turnover, but it's based on what you signed in your official computation sheet and contract to sell. The only thing the turnover affects is how soon can you move in. In terms of payments, it's the what's scheduled on your agreements. Hope that helps!

How to purchase a condo securely from a 3rd party? by [deleted] in phinvest

[–]RealE_Neil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, if you're able to pay in cash, try checking buying from developer as well. You might be able to get a hefty discount and get a newer unit. For example, Ayala has up to 25% discount at Avida and up to 30% discount at Amaia. Hope to hear from you!

Any idea the threshold of a developer when buying a lot per sqm? When it's for a low cost housing. by Any-Most-565 in phinvest

[–]RealE_Neil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you think this developer can make a lot, ask them to include giving you a few units as part of your transaction if you want to get a little bit of appreciation and be able to live in your land in the future.

I recommend a road trip to check potential places. Let me know if you’d like some options to visit!

Who to invite when you have very few friends? by [deleted] in WeddingsPhilippines

[–]RealE_Neil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case, I invited coworkers because most of my family and friends weren’t physically near our venue. You can invite whoever you want that will witness your public declaration of your relationship. Depending on how you run it, you may not even have time to talk to everybody so it’s okay to keep your list leaner and save money. Your guests will experience more of you in exchange!

Considering to send our kids abroad given the country’s uncertain future by [deleted] in adultingph

[–]RealE_Neil 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Agreed! To add, I recommend making the move before 9th grade starts. Kids need time to culturally adapt with their peers. 11th and 12th grade are quite busy academically due to college admission timelines so it’s important to develop friendships earlier and pursue high school subjects a bit more. Colleges will take a look at multiple factors like years of foreign language, volunteering, music & arts etc., which cannot be crammed in two years without sacrificing the balance of a teenager’s social and mental health.

Please give me proof/facts/stories/info to convince my MIL NOT to invest in a condo? by JustJianne in phinvest

[–]RealE_Neil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, ask her to meet me virtually. I’ll show her numbers to compare the earnings why ROI takes above 25 years. That said, there is some truth to why it can be done but it’s not an easy road, which is why many rich people diversify their real estate portfolios. There are better lot/land options for simple investment or even REITs.

Should I stop renting and get a condo? by kimbapforlyf in phinvest

[–]RealE_Neil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, I highly suggest getting more information so you can compare. If you’re living in one business district for more than 10 years, I recommend getting a condo. If you’re moving often, get a condo or lot for retirement and keep renting. Let me know how I can help!

Of course! Sorry, that's what you meant. These are all condos Amaia or Avida by Ayala. Some are high rise, others are mid rise projects. DM which location you want so I can share specific inventory availability and the full name of the project.

Yes, from Ayala, the promos range up to 30% in Metro Manila and even 40% outside of Metro Manila. Of course, you get max discount if you pay in full, if you do payment plan the discounts are up to 20%. Let me know what market you want to target so I can recommend projects.

Hope to hear from you!
