    But dont be discouraged from investing. This is one really bad example. But there are many many good investments out there.

    BGC, Rockwell, Ayala triangle, the ayala davao waterfront development, Manila Bay area.....

    I have often wondered, hindi naman sa minamaliit ko ang Nasugbu, but who are Sta Lucia, SMDC, etc expecting to live in these condos being built in such places? Yung sa Tagaytay nga eh, pinapanood ko sa gabi from Talisay, yes maliwanag ang floodlights, but the windows are dark.

    yun nga din naisip ko. yung sa bagong project naman ng sta lucia na gusto namin tignan is condotel. so bibili ka ng unit tapos ipaparent mo pero sila na mag mamanage mismo. pero ang dami na rin resort don sa nasugbu. ewan kung napupuno ba yung mga condo na yun....

    A friend was selling me a project in Tagaytay (I think it was Alveo)

    I think a studio unit will cost around 8M. (have to dig my emails to confirm)

    You will have the option to ask the building management to have the place rented for XX years. They will manage and clean the unit for you (you don't even need to be there)

    If you need your place for a holiday, you need to inform management in advance and you will need to pay 50% of the rent.

    Good investment, I think yes since the condo will earn on its own. Again, you only need to sign a paper!

    Why I didn't buy a unit, wife didn't like the idea that the people there will be on constant vacation mode... Too many people using the facilities at the same time.

    Tagaytay?

    Buying property right next to an active volcano always seemed like a crazy idea to me.

    Not worth your money to have condo in Tagaytay.

    I guarantee you'll only used it a couple of times a year.

    Mag hotel na lang kayo hinde pa natanggap pera ninyo.

    An acquaintance used to frequent Tagaytay and borrowed a friend's house most of the time ... This person eventually bought the house ... After buying the house, he stopped going frequently to Tagaytay ... and now his friends are borrowing his house ...

    I agree. Not worth it. I've known lots of people who bought property in Tagaytay to serve as a weekend vacation place. The first few years, they were very excited to stay there as much they can. When the novelty and excitement wore off, the place was left to deteriorate, if not lent to friends.

    This is what happened to my Uncle and Aunt. They still go to Tagaytay regularly but not that much anymore. Probably got discouraged by the traffic in the recent years.

    I was planning to buy a condo pa naman in Twin Lakes but there was a good offer I can’t resist! recently lang for a lot for sale. 270k for 1,000sqm of farm land. Planning on putting my own house sa 500sqm and the rest will be for planting fruit trees and veggies! This is in Alfonso by the way.

    Ewan ko ba sa inyo kung ano nakita nyo sa cavite/tagaytay. Eh napaka-overrated. Ano ba magagawa jan. Bwisit yung traffic hindi worth it.

    Kung mag out of town ako malapitan eh maglalaguna ako. Hot spring i like !!!!

    If i want na probinsya feel but lapit lang manila eh antipolo is the place. No toll gate at maaliwalas dami farm lalo na yung pastraight to cogeo.
