Thank you guys for your replies. We are aware of the corruption happening in the Philippines. But that will not push us back from investing. We just have to make sure we purchase from a reputable developer. Aside from DMCI Homes, what real estate developer could you recommend?

You have a point here, but then online free ads advertising is also risky as scams and other perilous acts happen. I would suggest to be careful in choosing the right website to post free ads, check the current users, how often it is visited by people, also how often deals are made? Things like that.

you get more security than a ground level one

^^ Other than more security, how about its environment? Do higher level units offer more privacy than those ground levels?

Yes, you'll get more privacy on higher levels. Additionally, if the surroundings is nice, you'll have better view. And you are farther from noise polution.

Well said, to complete the answer, higher level units offers unobstructed view of the skyline, privacy as well and most importantly far away from noise pollution since higher levels are often less crowded in contrast to lower level units. Thanks for sharing your thought.

There seems to be many ways to make money from obtaining license to build, building a home, and reselling it for mass profit. Does anyone know roughly how much profit could be made from doing the same thing with a condo building?

In the case of condominiums, you will certainly earned and generate stream of income if you buy pre-selling property that has the ability to increase its value as time goes by. Just don’t forget to checked the mind behind the development which is the property developer, also consider purchasing property within excellent location.

Hello,
What are some big first time mistakes that I should avoid? Most of all, How should I start out? Buying a condo or low-income housing and renting it out? Please, if you have experience or first hand knowledge about real estate investment, I would love to hear your take on it and what you would’ve done better if given a second chance.
Thanks!

You must first set your goals of course, that is the very first plan you should do. Also it is important that you know the financial resources you are willing to take on, investing is taking the risk so you need to be brave and be prepared.

As they’re the ones supposedly bringing in customers to pay YOU the money, you’re the one who needs to answer those criteria, not them

You can get references and draw your own impressions, but what’s the worst that can happen to you as the provider? A customer who backs off at the last minute? Can happen anyway, and isn’t the channels fault.

Of course if they keep connecting you to tire kickers or just don’t deliver any customers, you need an exit clause (see above), but the majority of providing proof to claim is yours, as the end provider.

Does this make sense at all, or am I misreading your question here?

Your explanation makes sense sir zmagen, thank you so much for giving that polite idea.

We certainly do, and as buyers'/proxy agents who only sell services and not actual properties, it's easy –

option 1) – same country/"around the corner" – they advertise a general service and some sample listings to their existing lists/contacts, we share the comission on the first purchase – then they end up getting handsomely paid for what's not much more than an emailed introduction, we take one deal at virtually cost, but get to keep a new and happy customer, and everybody's happy.

option 2) – "far and yonder"/real distant lands/non-English speakers – we contact a few candidates and narrow things down to an "area manager" who's comitted to invest of their time and money, work hard etc – they become our channel managers for that area, and receive a regular 33% of all business derived from their neck of the woods, whether it's initial or repeat business. In this case they usually require exclusivity agreements, and rightfully so, as raising awareness to a new product in a new area takes time and effort – just need to make sure the contract has exit clauses in case they turn out to be the wrong agency for the job (for example, if the work doesn't result in three active clients within six months or so, you're free to try a different local channel

I admire the idea of getting in touch with other people who can potentially help in the due process. I think they become the middle men or simply a bridge connecting your service to people you are targeting. I have a question here, what are some ways on how to determine if the potential middle men are reliable person? Are there some set of standards to look into? Thanks!

Having a goal of home improvement and increased value to your property Landscaping is one of the best ways to improve your property curb appeal, for me it’s a good kind of home improvement. Most likely people always wanted to get in touch with nature and that is good example.
