You're not alone Tom, I read the post several times after seeing both your and Jim's posts and convinced myself senility had set in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking about if he ever decided to actually move into it some time in the future...? Then it might become an issue? Yes Tom, it's not like houses are noisy here, is it! Seriously though, unless you're living in a relatively isolated spot noise comes with the territory here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, unless you're living in a relatively isolated spot noise comes with the territory here. Yes, HK you are right. However I am thinking back (another senior moment here) about one of the members who purchased a condo in a resort that was built for seniors and very quiet... I would have to look it up. His situation sounded really nice - a resort with all the amenities plus peace and quiet... It doesn't get much better than that. Our house location is - so far - rather peaceful. Only a couple of dogs and they stop barking after they make their point that they are there and just seem to get used to our interference with their adjacent territory. I can live with that. Sometimes there is karaoke, but far away... I know it will change - that's inevitable. And senility? I forgot what that means... 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P. T. Kelly Posted August 17, 2019 Author Posted August 17, 2019 I thank you all for the input, I will add the wife has a house in dasma and I would get a "giant" (i know, it's still small) 2 bedroom condo for personal use and another one or two to solely rent. Ultamately it would be an occational use place when visiting taygaytay. I stay there very frequently using air BNB so I really know what the condos are like. I just want a place to stay when I'm there and rent out when I'm not using it. I see how the air bnb condo owners are making the places pay for themselves. I am right now considering the side by side as was mentioned earlier how I can make the transaction to buy one or more. We are going in may with a fist full of cash looking to invest in our future and trying to get as much input as possible. I also wonder how as a foreigner who for the time being can purchase something like that on loan while working out of the country. I do have really good income but when I retire I want more than my pension to depend on... Thanks all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post graham59 Posted August 17, 2019 Popular Post Posted August 17, 2019 Personally I'd invest the money 'back home', if you have it to spare. Probably save 10 years stress. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was snowy79 who wrote about a cool condo in a resort where it was quiet.... It sounded like he had an ideal situation there... that is if someone is looking for peace and quiet...

Who is going to manage Air Bnb rentals for you? That is a lot of work and if you don't have someone really good doing it, the units will get bad reviews and you won't have anyone renting from you. Even more importantly, and this is only my opinion, caution should be used when buying condos in the Manila area right now. Tagaytay is not directly in Manila, but Tagaytay investors are. Manila condo prices are up 40% in the last year or so, due to the Chinese POGO operators. I think it is a bubble getting ready to burst and if all the 100,000 to 250,000 Chinese POGO workers get sent home, boom! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
