I am currently Reading RULE #1 by Phil Town -

http://philtown.typepad.com/phil_towns_blog/images/2007/08/10/rule1cover_2.jpg

This book is useful - dami lang pang-American setting na example not applicable to Philippines.

boys, ano tingin nyo sa atn? gusto ko na benta ito. kuha ko dito 3.95, ngayon pumapalo na 5.40s

Megaworld Properties looks promising compared to ALI! Even if I am selling ALI properties as a Realtor and at the same time stock investor.

Also, The TELCOs or Telecom companies like PILTEL and PLDT look good.

not necessarily. it would depend on the type of stock you bought. if you bought speculative stocks, then probably you will get stuck with it as the prices go down further.

 

that is why it is always important to check the fundamentals of the stock- there are some very good stocks whose current price is lower than their actual value.

I never like Cityland projects. They lack ventilation. I prefer the Ayala Land, Robinsons and DMCI projects instead.

Do you guys know any good and reliable sales agent/broker in any of the Cityland condo's?

 

I dont recommend the following agents:

 

Cindy G. Cityland Estacion St - doesn't call you back, for a licensed broker she seems clueless

 

Portia P. Cityland 8 on Gil Puyat (Buendia) - un professional, doesn't know what she is doing, doesn't know the concept of selling that when a buyer desides not want to buy she goes crazy. Stay away from her.

misterbig7... do you have any links or ebooks on how to go int the real estate business? or any one here at this thread that can contribute.... alot of people are making big bucks on just having real estate broker as a part time job.. minsan.. you just have a one major deal a year.. sometimes it is more than what you earn for a year while working on an 8 hr job...

 

thanks in advance.

There are many books for sale in national bookstore about real estate one of the local author is Edward Tan. His books are well-researched and give full insight on the trends of real estate in the Philippines. This cost about PhP 400 to 500 in paperback. Very useful for me as a real estate professional.

If you want to be a licensed real estate broker like me you should attend Comprehensive Real Estate Review and Seminar for aspiring to venture to this industry given by Real Estate Brokers Association of the Philippines (REBAP) or with Philippine Association of Realtors Board (PAREB) in your local area.

Be warned that there are too many competitors out there not only in Metro Manila but in provinces as well who are way excellent sales people as well.

Being in this profession requires lots of patience and sacrifice before achieving the goal of earning your first millions. Perserverance is also the key. There are many times that I had to endure 20 client calls and only 1 is going to buy a property which is true. I read a book on sales by an author from Cebu which I can recall (maybe some other time).

I admit that being a Real Estate Broker is my part-time job in current times and right now, I am still my holding my 8 to 5 job. Compared to my current 8 to 5 work. Being in the real estate gives you the freedom to be flexible in terms of time and efforts plus the financial stability you incur. I did earn my first PhP 100k in one deal for a house and lot package. If felt great and I felt the itch to continue this profession once I am no longer interested with the company I am working for.

When I was a young property sales agent I handed out flyers like what you see on the real estate people on malls who hand out flyers when you passed by them. Even if it is a very tiring and boring, I learned how to communicate and listen to the client's needs and wants and later on developed my selling technique and strategy. You also need training on sales, wherein I recommend The Harry Pound Company, Guthrie-Jensen Company, De La Salle - CSB etc.

I failed once on my first R.E.B. licensure exam in 2005 and felt the anguish and defeat in my tongue. I retook it again and passed it in 2006. The Department of Trade and Industry - BTRCP was then the one handing out the test. Right now, PRC is the administrator of the exams for Real Estate Brokers.

Hi! im new at this thread. I am also thinking about investing in real estate but I don't have enough yet.

For those who are looking where to invest, why not try buying pieces of lands in villages such as those in Bacoor Cavite, Laguna, and other nearby provinces.

Thay are cheaper BUT they also appreciate a lot since the need for land will always be there and people look at this places because they are near the cities but are not that polluted.

 

I plan to buy one lot here in our village when i have enough already

 

Condominiums are really tempting but i feel that land is more valuable.

Condominiums are very tempting but you should know which one you are buying and also how much it can give you on your Return of Investment (R.O.I.) it can provide you once you start leasing the place. The location of the condo is a plus factor also. If you want to engage in real estate property rentals close to U-belt I can sell you one if you like? These are still undergoing development and will be turned over to you in two to three years time. Patience is a virtue in Real Estate!

a follow up question ...

 

I have a friend who wanted to buy a piece of land na awarded ... it has a TCT however may encumbrances na di pdeng i mortgaged, transfer nor sell within the period of 20 years ... naka 19 years na kc ang lumipas and I think 1 year n lang eh lapse na yung encumbrances ...

 

question is, can I buy the land? safe bang bilhin yun? definitely ba yung encumbrances eh pde mawala after 20 years or may idadagdag pa dun? ano ano yung downside nun?

 

ang upside kc ... pde ko syang baratin ng konti

TIA

Like what happened to most of the resettlement areas in Pampanga. During the Pinatubo years. the national government gave lots to the victims of lahar. These resettlement are located throughout Pampanga. namely, Bulaon Resettlement area (San Fernando, Malpitic Resettlement Area (Mabalacat), Sta. Lucia Resettlement Area (Magalang) etc.

They have a patent awarded to the national government with their names on it but not really a TCT. They cannot be sold within 20 years time. Once the 20 years patent have lapsed then they could sell those properties they want to sell.

So are you a Registered Financial Planner or a Licensed Stock Broker?

hello everyone!

 

It's interesting to find this thread in MTC. Anyway, I am an Investment professional in one of the reputable trust institutions and a Finance professor in one of the top universities here in the country. I suggest that we get to organize something similar to Entrepreneur's "Networking Night" where people interested in investing can get together and learn more about investing and managing their personal finances.

 

What do you guys think? Those willing to participate in organizing please express your intentions through this thread or perhaps open an new thread. I am volunteering my services by providing "CONTENT" for the seminar... this will include guest speakers.

Well, Ateneo de Manila university and Confucius Institute has it. Even the Filipino Chinese Chamber of Commerce has a affilitation with a Chinese University offering language classes in Mandarin Chinese.

Harry Pound Co. has a seminar about Credit Collection from your clients who are pasaway. You can visit their website at www.harrypound.com. I hope this enriches your knowledge in this business.

CHINA BOOM is not what it seems.

They will thrive but somehow there is a downside after the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. As reported in C-Span and Fox News.

Business investors and speculator will probably move to Southeast Asian countries like Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore etc. giving back the glory of the old tiger economies growling again compared to the ballooning red dragon - China.

I have been reading this thread recently. Currently I am involved in Real Estate Industry for the past two years now and would to venture on other money making schemes other than Real Estate. I am also interested in investing for my future and the problem is that I am afraid to invest in our own Stock Exchange because of the corrupt practices in the past years although the stock are performing in an uptempo mood however I am still a skeptical about this like what happened when Chinese stock go down.

But anyways, would like to know more on UITFs which I have been reading in the Entrepreneur Magazine Philippines and also was discussed but not to the extent on Francisco Colayco's book like Pera mo, Palaguin mo or Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

DIO!

Walang Motel sa Dolores!

I know the area because this is my base of operations from Angeles City too. Laman ako ng daan because of my work and business.

You can visit Victoria Court which is along McArthur Highway, Sindalan, City of San Fernando, Pampanga. (Close to PTT gas station and Avida Residences San Fernando Subd. going to Angeles City). Distance is about 7 kilometers from San Fernando Exit, NLEX / SM Pampanga.

Miyabe Court is located along Olongapo-San Fernando-Gapan Road corner Lazatin Blvd. If you are coming from Manila just drive straight and you can easily view that once you reach the crossroad. Your landmarks will be the Patria's Resto or Fortune Authentic Chinese Resto.

Villa Filipina, Motel Tropicana and Valle Verde - I am sure with their services.

Bowliseum Motel and Hotel? used to be a good bowling alley. I hope they are no more pokpoks there.

Well, shifting to duathlon would be okay. I have been an employee in the past but now own a small real estate firm. My time demands meeting with clients, closing biz deals, looking after legal matters on properties for sale etc.

If ever I hit a jackpot on a million peso real estate deal. Why not I become a full-time athlete?

triathlon is not for you if you are a full-time employee.. i tried that and i just had fever from the hard training.. i run or lift weights in the morning, then swim in the evening..

 

the stress that my bosses give to me coupled with the stress that i get from the training is just too much for my body to take, and there was even a time when i had to compete even with a cold and fever.. i can't breathe during the swim portion of the race!

now i just focus on the running (my strongest discipline), and just crosstrain with swimming or cycling.. just to break free from the usual routine.. or swim or cycle during off season, or when i get an injury.. that is so far what works best for me..

 

why don't you try duathlon? if you are not a good swimmer but strong with bike and run, that is the sport for you.. some of my triathlon buddies shifted there, as they feel they have better chances of getting podium finishes..

QUOTE(THUG @ Mar 28 2007, 11:46 AM) *

1K??? or you mean 10K? there is no 1k run in any triathlon.. even sprint tri is a 5k run..

Hey Dirty Harry are you a triathlete too? I have sent you a PM!

To thug:

3K to 5K are the usual. I try to run 1K every other day which i haven't clarified in my earlier statements. Somehow, work is eating my time and I cannot train full time as a professional triathlete. The important is you run on every available free time on early morning or late night at 8 Pm and once your body adapted to the stress, pain and others. You will endure 3K to 5K in a breeze. Plus I try to swim twice a week. Work out in the gym twice a week or even play badminton too.

I am not Mr. Paul Uytengsu okay who happens to be among the best local pro triathlete and CEO of Alaska Milk or even the HSBC President in S.E.A. Well they asked their senior managers to run the company for them while they are running around in their company sponsored spandex suits.

Well I have to work in my office also that's why I cannot be a full-time athelete still have to think of my own welfare, build my small business and somehow have a family in the future.

I still prefer www.dot.ph for the hosting. I am assure with this company. Pay PhP 7K annually.

Yeah, I wish I was but my work demand in real estate means alot for me.

Perhaps you just haven't done the right formula since once you find it, you'll be able to improve your game big time....

As long as I have free time. I try to run or perfect my swimming form. So far my running skills have faired well. I am planning to sign up for another Triathlon Association of the Philippines (TRAP) event on April 15, 2007 at Lakeshore, Pampanga. This will be my second time. My first time was way back in Nov. 2005. I never got to be on top of the skill of the pros but I manage to finish it anyway. This has become a challenge for me.

i have been training to have lean mean body for the past year. Tried running and I lasted 5 rounds which is really a puny for me because I used to run 1K before when I was an amateur triathlete.

I was aspiring to be a COCC or Probationary 2nd Lt in ROTC. Turns out i was beaten black and blue by my 2nd class officer. It is hazing and I quit and shut up. :grr:
