hoz 240 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 "Don't invest in condo" Just about universal. When I was a RE broker we said condos were for the "newly wed and nearly dead." 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Paul 55,114 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 When I was a RE broker we said condos were for the "newly wed and nearly dead." As a Filipino, Mr. Go would never have to concern himself with his wife taking his property from him. Foreign nationals, however, may experience that. As a foreigner, buying a condominium is one of the few ways to protect ones self from possibly losing a property to an estranged wife, ex-wife, or really pissed off girlfriend. She can't take it if it isn't in her name, in whole or part. 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Paul 55,114 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Stay on topic here, folks, or someone is going to have a permanent holiday. I'm already going through another thread and seeing who will be gone. I'm in the mood. So, I suggest you all stay on your toes, for sure. This isn't the day, trust me.

It was the price he said was too high and they built too many, not many Filipinos can pay 60-100k per square meter. He also believed that a collapse in the condo market would have repercussions throughout the real estate market.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
