Income Generating Investment

Bayo Condotel and Suites is a hotel like condo that can be purchased as a residential unit or a vacation house to buyers whom would probably only occupy the units no more than one month. The BALIK BAYANS or other Filipinos living abroad are the best possible clients for this. They can use the unit for 30 days per year and for the remaining days or months as an investment real estate that can generate income through the condotel concept. In normal circumstances the unit owner pays maintenance and upkeep of the unit for the entire year without deriving any benefit. However, in a CONDOTEL, during the time they do not occupy their units, the hotel management is the one who maintains and clean the unit in exchange that they will use the unit as one of their hotel rooms. The owner of the unit will receive rental income on their property making it an income generating property and self-liquidating investment with hassle-free property management as the hotel can rent out their unit with all services provided by day, week, or month.

Helpful Tips for First time Real Estate Buyer

When buying new property, it is important to look for properties backed by established developers and licensed real estate agents/ brokers, especially in cases of off-plan or pre-selling (the property is at the planning stages and non-existent during the time of the sale).

In general, property can be acquired by simple agreement. After deciding what property to buy as well as inspecting the premises and documents, the buyer usually signs a binding notarized Deed of Sale. Employing the services of a reputable sales agent is convenient because they not only provide vital information regarding the transaction and property, but also assist the buyer in getting the best quality property that they should have but rather give them the best service that they can give.
