<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">There are quite a number of reasons <b><u><a href="http://investapropertyinphilippines.blogspot.com/2014/04/old-homes-seven-reasons-why-people-buy.html">why buyers prefer an old house</a></u></b>.
There’s the factor of location as majority of the prime spots no longer allow
new constructions around the area thereby leaving homebuyers to bid for
something that’s already built around the place. Then there’s the size aspect
that promises bigger square footages. The distinct appearance and unique
features are big attractions too. Not to mention the profitability element
where after fixing the necessities and emphasizing the charming attributes, it
can be worth more than what it is today which makes it highly profitable for
future resale purposes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the exact year when the structure was originally built. Doing so will give you
an idea on how stable and solid the foundation is. There are some homes that
have cracks on the walls, damages on the floor, crumbling bricks, mold in
certain places or termites in some rooms which make it very hazardous to live
in. Take time to do research and consult either someone who has an experience
in architectural history or a professional inspector who is knowledgeable on
these types of residences. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

How is it heated and air-conditioned? Identify if they are outdated and in need
of replacement. Find out what type of plumbing materials were used so you’ll be
well-aware if they are likewise ready for retirement. Are the electrical
components and wiring system compatible with modern appliances? Make sure that
it will not be a cause for fire hazards later on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

inspected by a pro. Read the latest report and use it to weigh the pros and
cons before making a final decision. If it has been years since an inspector
checked the entire building out, contract someone who can do a thorough analysis
and can give you detailed estimates for repairs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">Find out
what attracts people to buy such houses. Let this guide you through when making
a homebuying decision regarding old homes. </span></div>

has always been a prime factor in homebuying. And there are instances when most
of the sought-after locations no longer allow new constructions around the
area. Your only choice is to build one a few kilometers away, which is a bit
far from the local shops, schools, coffeehouses, stores and other amenities and
conveniences. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

often than not, these residential types come with bigger land areas and square
footages. This translates to larger yards which then give you an opportunity to
own wider and luxurious space for garage or outdoor shed. Likewise, there are several
rooms too instead of the usual two to three-bedroom units found on the usual <a href="http://www.amaialand.com/"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Philippine real estate</span></b></a> modern houses. </span></div>

speaking, it will cost you less to purchase older properties compared to a

certainly have them. They look better with their interiors and exteriors, with
features ranging from built-in fireplace, beautiful garden, mature landscapes
with age-old trees, impeccable craftsmanship and architectural elements like
arches and special window treatments which are already considered as “upgrades”

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;">
Nowadays, migration from one city to another is becoming highly popular
due to the lower cost of air transportation than it used to be decades ago. Many
Filipinos from the provinces in Visayas and Mindanao travel to the National
Capital Region because of the many available job opportunities, not to mention
that it has the highest minimum wage rate at P466.00.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
However, living in NCR is not without its drawbacks; there is the
never-ending traffic, pollution and overpopulation, to name a few. These
drawbacks are especially common in business capitals like Makati, Ortigas, and
Quezon City. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Parañaque City, on the other hand is more of a residential district.
Although it is considered as one the highly urbanized cities in the country, it
is not as crowded and is more laid back than its counterparts. That is why it
is one of the best places to acquire <b><a href="http://www.amaialand.com/philippine-properties">real estate property in the Philippines</a></b>. Land and property prices are slowly
increasing as the city gains popularity among the migrants from the provinces.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
National roads, such as the Dr. Santos Avenue, South Luzon Expressway
and Carlos P. Garcia (C-5 South Extension), traverse through Sucat and Bicutan,
making them more accessible to people from the other cities of Metro Manila.
Shopping malls, train and bus stations, government offices, and industrial
facilities are also found in these areas. Therefore, it is wise to acquire a <b><a href="http://www.amaialand.com/condominium/paranaque-city/amaia-steps-sucat">condo in Sucat</a></b> or <b><a href="http://www.amaialand.com/condominium/paranaque-city/amaia-steps-bicutan-phase-1">Bicutan</a></b> as these areas are
inclined to become more progressive than the rest of the city. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Owing to the overpopulation in the Cities of Makati and Quezon, new
migrants choose to live in Parañaque than in the nearby provinces of Bulacan or
Cavite. Transportation to and from Parañaque is more accessible because train
stations are available; and also because nowadays, provincial buses are not
allowed to enter Metro Manila anymore. Another reason why migrants choose to
stay in Parañaque City is because of its proximity to the airport. Due to the
fact that these migrants have hometowns in the provinces, it is understood that
these people will have to travel more often than those who are natives of Metro
Manila.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
It is only a matter of time before <a href="http://www.amaialand.com/condominium/paranaque-city">Parañaque City</a>
reaches the spotlight. Soon, it will become one of the most popular
destinations for those who wish to work and live in Metro Manila. For now, it
is best to start investing on properties in this city before that time comes.<o:p></o:p></div>

MANILA, Philippines — Property giant <b><a href="http://www.amaialand.com/">Ayala Land</a> </b>Inc. grew its net
profit last year by 30 percent to a record-high of P11.74 billion,
exceeding targets on the back of strong growth across all business
lines.
<br />
With this performance, ALI exceeded its target to breach the
P10-billion mark in net profit one year ahead of the timetable in its
five-year plan.
<br />
<br />
“Strong growth by each of our business lines showed good
execution of the growth strategy with the increased delivery of new
products in new geographies,” said ALI president Antonino Aquino.
“Market acceptance of the products was enhanced by their presence in our
integrated mixed use communities across the country and the strong ALI
brand.”
<br />
<br />
ALI’s five residential brands launched a total of 28,482 units
worth P108 billion last year. It broke ground for three new estates last
year: the 21-hectare Circuit <b><a href="http://www.alveoland.com.ph/condominium/makati-city/the-columns-legazpi-village">Makati</a></b>, the 32-hectare Atria in Iloilo,
and the 100-hectare Altaraza in Bulacan.
<br />
<br />
This year, the company plans to launch 30,000 units across all
residential brands, anticipating continued demand for houses. It plans
to launch 78 projects this year with an estimated value of P142 billion.
<br />
<br />
“During the same period of high profit growth, ALI also doubled
its landbank, improved its organizational capability and strengthened
its capital structure. These foundations will enable ALI to grow further
in the years ahead,” Aquino said.
<br />
<br />
The company’s consolidated revenues reached P81.52 billion, 36
percent higher year-on-year. Revenues from <a href="http://www.ayalalandpremier.com/"><b>real estate</b></a>, which comprised
the bulk of consolidated revenues, increased by 40 percent to P76.34
billion, driven mainly by the strong performance across the property
development, <a href="http://www.ayalaland.com.ph/commercial-office-space-philippines"><b>commercial</b></a> leasing and services business lines.
<br />
<br />
ALI spent a total of P66.26 billion in capital expenditures in
2013, seven percent lower than the P71.29 billion spent the previous
year when it forked out more for landbanking, particularly for the
acquisition of the FTI complex.<br />
<br />
For this year, ALI has allotted P70 billion for capital outlays,
primarily earmarked for the completion of ongoing developments and new
launches. ALI said this would help sustain its growth trajectory in the
coming years.

lot of people during long weekends, holidays, and vacations. The combination of
sun, sand, and sea makes the beach a perfect place for relaxation and
unwinding. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMczC8h-3LCglSbMlV0kwHxWtJ5nRcOOkqtXyUMm9UOgvt1jccO0Z-nRmPc2zJbq5IhidBHrx9xwyLOxSmzbcVXOM6bNZV49ITNCCgSAkvhLjpQsQvLhvfJ_3d_t-Y7CQ6oFhiBztuAgY/s1600/index.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMczC8h-3LCglSbMlV0kwHxWtJ5nRcOOkqtXyUMm9UOgvt1jccO0Z-nRmPc2zJbq5IhidBHrx9xwyLOxSmzbcVXOM6bNZV49ITNCCgSAkvhLjpQsQvLhvfJ_3d_t-Y7CQ6oFhiBztuAgY/s1600/index.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Some people love the beach so much that
many dream of having their own beach house to go to instead of going to a
resort. <a href="http://www.amaialand.com/"><b>Real estate in the Philippines</b></a> has adequate offerings for those
looking for a beach property. There are even some who take their love for the
beach to the extreme by wanting to live right by it. Some choose to live not
quite on the beach but somewhere close enough like a <a href="http://www.amaialand.com/house-lot/batangas/amaia-scapes-lipa"><b>house and lot in Lipa</b></a>.
But is it a reasonable option, especially for those who have long been urban
dwellers? Below are some of the benefits of living by the beach.</span></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Permanent vacation. </span></b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Living
by the beach would seem like a permanent vacation. The usual grind of
day-to-day life will still be there but it would feel easier to manage because
it would be easier to relax as well. The simple act of waking up right by a
beautiful beach is a great start to any day.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Less pollution. </span></b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A
lot of people who have decided to live by the beach have done so because of
health reasons. The air is cleaner and fresher by the sea and there is so much
less pollution than in crowded urban areas. People with respiratory problems
are among those who would benefit the most from the cleaner air.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Lower cost of living. </span></b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Living
away from <a href="http://www.ayalaland.com.ph/malls-restaurants-philippines">malls</a> will do wonders for your finances. Aside from not having access
to non-essential items that eat up a large chunk of your budget, food is more
affordable in rural areas like communities by the sea. Seafood, some of which
can be quite expensive in Metro Manila, is so much more affordable. You will
only have to wait for the fishermen to come back from their early morning
fishing and you to buy from their fresh catch for very low prices.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Simpler
lifestyle. </span></b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">If you are a true beach lover, then you
know that there is very little you will need. Although you can surely do something
so that you have all the comforts of an urban lifestyle, but you will not be
moving to the beach for that. Many who choose to live by the beach are so into
it, they would not go looking for other luxuries.</span></li>

people will opt to have it within 60 to 120 kilometers from their primary
residence. For instance, if you live in Manila,
finding <a href="http://anyaresidences.com/tagaytay-homes.php"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">homes in Tagaytay</span></b></a> or in Batangas City
may be a perfect choice for you. Before you seal the deal, ensure that you
visit the vicinity during both dry and wet seasons. In this way, you’ll
experience first-hand if it’s an ideal getaway during summer or rainy days. For
all you know, the roads are impassable in the months of November or December or
the stores are open only on the peak season. Get to know the area and explore
the neighborhood. Is it near a frequented spot?</span></div>

It is understandable if you’ll have no immediate plans to make a <a href="http://www.anyaresidences.com/philippine-investments.php"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Philippine investment</span></b></a> out of it and instead use it for future generations. Keep in
mind though that as more people get interested to rent the place for themselves
during the holidays, its value increases along with your money’s worth.
Therefore, when shopping for a property, treat it as if it is a venue for
recreation. How convenient is it for prospective visitors? Is it just an hour
or two hours away from the city? The closer it is to the metro, the easier to
check it out at any time and do proper repairs and maintenance. Does it have
hot tubs or swimming pool? What amenities are currently being offered? Always
develop an investor mindset.</span></div>

accentuate luxury and sophistication – navy, jade, amber or gold. Lean on deep
and rich ones that set the ambience apart from the normal or bland-looking
ones. Keep the shades in balance. For instance, if you have a deep blue wall on
the entertainment room, select light-colored fixtures to match them together.
You can also go for black for a more subtle impression. Browse through
magazines for ideas and inspiration.</span></div>

textures and patterns that are nice to touch and classy to the eyes. To cite an
example, the fabrics to use on your living room pillows or dining chair slip
covers should go in the direction of silks, velvets, linens, woven fabrics or wool.
Mix them up and test which give the most stylish touch. Do not go overboard
though. Remember that your goal is to create dimensions that would add interest
and contrast so incorporate them well and in moderation. </span></div>

makes a huge difference in the total feel of a room. Invest in a couple of
elegant-looking lamps. Install a system that will allow you to adjust the
lights to a dimmable version. Luxury homes usually have higher ceilings so to
achieve the same effect, hang your curtains and drapes from the ceiling and not
right over the window. </span></div>

several luxurious houses, more often than not, you’ll notice orchids and vases
of tulips in the focal points of each residence. So accessorize your rooms with
fresh flowers. They are guaranteed to liven up the entire mood of everybody who
enters in. Place large bowl of fruits too – in the coffee table and dining
area. Putting some metallic accents can define richness as well. Opt then for
metallic frames on your wall paintings and pictures.</span></div>

involve staying in a five-star hotel each time you’re out of town, eating
dinner in fine dining restaurants, wearing trendy and signature clothes nor
owning the latest gadgets from laptops to tablets to smart phones. It’s all in
the manner of thinking and how you look forward to each day of your life. You

positively. Here are the first steps in attracting a luxurious lifestyle. </span><br />

First, you need to accept that you deserve the best things this world could
offer. You may have no job or no means to earn income right now. You may be up
to your neck with debts which makes you financially broke at the moment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All these do not really matter. If you
believe that you are worthy of getting the finest luxuries, everything else
would follow. It’s basically how you redefine the term to make it attainable.</span></div>

is one of the keys that would help you define your lifestyle. You may own a
posh <a href="http://www.amaialand.com/condominium/quezon-city/amaia-skies-cubao"><u><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">condo in Cubao</span></b></u></a> but if you’re workplace is in <a href="http://www.amaialand.com/house-lot/cavite">Cavite</a>, the whole concept of comfortability would
certainly take a new meaning. It would automatically be redefined to staying in
an apartment that is within walking distance from your place of work. On the
contrary, say you grew up in the Cubao area and spent your high school and
college there, and every time you’d think about the place, it would bring you
only happy memories. Then, keeping a <a href="http://www.amaialand.com/condominium/quezon-city/amaia-skies-cubao"><u><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cubao condominium</span></b></u></a> certainly makes
sense, doesn’t it?</span></div>

equal to quality. Not necessarily. At one point, it’s true that some of the
most expensive things have the best features. However, would you prefer an
all-expense paid world cruise if it would mean you’re going alone and not have
your significant other with you? Would you choose a five-figure job at the
expense of your health? </span></div>

is the main point of luxury living. It is meant to give pleasure. What pleases
you? The ability to love and be loved? The freedom to do whatever you like?
Remember that your experiences contribute to your pleasurable journey in this
world. It’s just a matter of making each experience count. </span></div>
