Pacific Concord Properties release its new Condo Hotel PowerPoint slideshow presentation for buy-to-let Condotel investments in the Philippines

Beth Collingz, PLC International Marketing Director for Pacific Concord Properties Lancaster Brand of Condotels in the Philippines said “When the unit owners are not using the condo hotel suite, the unit is put in the managed pool and rented out for them. The buyers have what is considered “hassle free” ownership. The condo hotel unit owners also benefit from having a professional onsite management company to handle to marketing, booking of their room and general expertise that they bring to the table. If a problem should arise with their condo hotel unit, the management company will take care of it instead of the owner having to worry about it. This makes the traditional landlord tenant issues a thing of the past. The Philippine buy-to-let condo-hotel investment concept is explained in our new PowerPoint presentation that can be downloaded from our lancastersuites.com website

Condo hotels have quietly become one of the hottest areas of the real estate market in the Philippines. The condo hotel concept provides buyers the benefit by owning a property in a hotel environment that they can use for themselves, and take advantage of the amenities not normally found in typical residential condominium developments. The condo hotel buyer sees the benefit to owning a vacation property that also has the potential to produce income for them. The typical condo hotel produces higher levels of income than the traditional vacation home (and less headaches), making it all the more appealing to buyers said Collingz

Developments such as the Lancaster Suites Manila Tower I was sold out in less than 18 months in 2007 and the building is now ready for occupancy. Condo hotels are different from traditional condos because they are sold “turn key”. Clients initially purchase the standard condo unit and then when the time comes for interior ‘fit-out’ they can avail of the in house Condo hotel package of furniture’s and furnishings for the unit. This means buyers do not have to worry about hiring a designer or contractor to come in to finish out the unit. Everything is included from linens, dishes, pillows etc…

Leading the way in the Metro Manila condo hotel market is Pacific Concord Properties Lancaster Brand of condo hotel investments. Pricing for condo hotels can range anywhere from $50,000’s up to $400,000 for Penthouse suites. Of course the pricing depends on location, views and types of finishes. The Lancaster Suites Manila Tower I development has enjoyed great success for its clientele with property appreciation reaching 100% for its initial buyers. Lancaster – The Atrium, the latest development by PCPI in Shaw Boulevard, Metro Manila, is currently on preconstruction selling and looks set to sell out within the next few months. Lancaster – The Atrium offers clients the choice of Studio, One, Two and Three Bedroom suites that all have kitchen facilities as regular residential condo unit. In addition, Lancaster – The Atrium, as with the Lancaster Suites Tower I, offers unit owners and guests an extensive range of services and amenities said Collingz

To be called Lancaster Atrium [which is the second Tower adjacent to the existing “Sold Out” Tower I] Condo hotel Studios, One, Two & Three Bedroom Suites are currently available to Property Investors adopting International Standard Escrow Trust Account “Buyer Safe” Easy Secure Payment Plans… with 6 year interest free payment terms or up to 12 year no prequalification “In-House” financing [available to all overseas buyers], full condo ownership, no management costs for condo hotel Suites and minimum monthly maintenance fees, as buyers or sellers of Real Estate you really should take a moment to look at this Philippine Condotel Investment Opportunity

Pacific Concord Properties recently introduced the new affordable easy payment plans for the Lancaster Atrium Manila condo hotel Suites where a Studio Unit can be purchased without any down payment, and 67% of the contract price payable over 60 months interest free and the 33% balance payable on turnover of the unit or to be extended for another 60 months through PCPI’s no prequalification no hassle finance plan, sales of the companies inventory of units will surely sell out quickly to investors seeking to take advantage of the Condotel Investment “Boom” in the Philippines.

New Philippine Permanent Residence Visa for Foreign Nationals set to boost Buy to Let and Condotel Real Estate Investments in Manila and Cebu

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

President Arroyo recently signed Executive Order (EO) No. 758 into law allowing foreigners to stay indefinitely in the Philippines provided they will employ at least 10 Filipinos.

The move is considered timely to help mitigate that negative impact of the current global economic meltdown that is expected to affect the Philippines by next year.

EO No. 758, which has the effect of a law, prescribes guidelines for the issuance of a special visa to non-immigrants for employment generation.

Under the guidelines, the Bureau of Immigration shall issue Special Visa for Employment Generation (SVEG) to a foreigner engaged in viable and sustainable commercial enterprise, trade or industry that has in its employ at least 10 Filipinos.

Foreigners who acquire the visa are considered special non-immigrants with multiple entry privileges and conditional extended stay, without need of prior departure from the Philippines.

The same visa may be extended to the visa applicant’s spouse and dependents under 18 years of age, whether legitimate, illegitimate, or adopted.

The guidelines also provide that aside from investing in a particular business, the visa applicant must have a genuine intention to remain in the Philippines and that he or she must not be a risk to national security.

We see this as another opportunity to boost sales of real estate and employment in the Country amidst the global credit crisis said Beth Collingz, Overseas Sales Director of PLC International Marketing Networks, the lead marketing partners for Pacific Concord Properties Inc’s Lancaster Brand of Condo Hotel developments in the Philippines.

Investors may now immigrate to the Philippines, purchase Condo Hotel commercial establishments and run their businesses in the Country taking advantage of the lower overheads and cost of living said Collingz
