Dear Sir,
I really admire the work you did on this website, for you have openly shared your ideas and expertise in most areas, in regards to starting a business in the Philippines. I post this message to you and praise you for all your effort and commitment.
I have been visitng your site for these past few days and has read all your posting, taking into account all your interesting tips. I was wondering, especially with your sound expertise in Philippine economy and it’s consumer behaviour, will you be able to share your knowledge regarding real estate business. I have done few research in the past through reading articles online from real estate agent, but I consider very much helpful if I receive an off hand experience from an independent person like yourself. I would like to know more about “Buy to Rent”, “Buying Auctioned Properties”, “Best Financing Option”, “Best Location to invest in either House or Flats to Rent”, whether this is also a safe investment for Filipinos whilst living abroad, especially hiring property managment firm to handle the tenants and collect rents. All other suggestions and tips you may have will also be grately appreciated.
Once again I would like to take this opportunity in thanking you and I will look forward in hearing a reply from you.

Hi Powerhouse,
Thank you for visiting the site and for all the kind words.
Real estate investment is a broad topic to discuss and dissect. It also requires that a potential investor must have a huge amount of money in the range of hundred thousands to millions of pesos. Right now, I’m starting off with a series of home-business and small to medium scale investment that is affordable to most Pinoys. Perhaps I can feature the real-estate business later once I have all the information and resources with me.
You can email me if you want so that we can discuss it a bit more.
Regards.

ang ganda ng website mo very informative …. pwede ba dito sa mango,papaya ang jackfruit,(nangka in visayan dialect, langka in tagalog)
Eu-Leh Says: 9/03/2006 06:25:00 PM
Ka Henry,
Pwedeng-pwede din. It’s almost the same procedure, just substitute mango or papaya with langka. Isa sa mga paborito kong prutas ang langka.
Salamat sa pagbisita.
