The typical Filipino mentality in home buying is that the first home he buys should be his dream home and that is where he is going to stay until the day dies.. If you are looking for the key to money-wise home owership for the coming decade, keep this rule in mind: When you buy buy, make sure you buy with an eye to resell, sooner rather than later. This means that if you are a smart consumer, you

'll look at any house you're buying with a view to its resale-ability at maximum gain, probably within the next five to seven years. Even if you don't sell within the average time frame, you will find this buy-to-sell perspective will bring you sounder investments. Simply explained, the first home you buy does not necessarily have to be your dream home. You can use this first purchase as a stepping stone to eventually buying your "castle"? The important thing is for you to make that first step into property ownership: buy with the intention of selling later, and then buy again a much bigger one, until you reach your dream. Rule 1: The most important general principle in house-hunting is - location within the community will be the most important controller to your resale profit. Good school, proximity to shopping and transfortation, and accessibility to the central employment are are factors that make location favorable. A home purchase is tge largest investment most families undertake. When you settle in the community of your choice, you gain a stake in its future, its plans and problems. You will develop a sense of responsibility and pride in home ownership and, with your neighbors, will have a strong influence on the growth of the community. If you choose a home in the heart of the metropolis, you'll enjoy close aproximity to shopping areas and convenient transfortation. However, you may want to check on noise and pollution levels. Life in quite subdivision, which is a little further away from the metropolis, offers a lot more room in peaceful surroundings, but this may require longer travel time into tge city. Take time to weigh all tge possibilities before you reach a decision to purchase a home in a particular location.Rule 2: After you have determined the best location for you, the next time important factor to check out the reputation of the builder or developer.Making your FILIPINO HOME a reality.
