As a single guy with a sizable disposable
income, my goal is to eventually have enough money and investments that will
take care of my day to day expenses without actually having to lift a finger to
earn it. Hence I became enamored or should I say head over heels engrossed at
anything that has something to do with investments and investing. My mantra has
become money working hard for me and not the other way around. As a direct
result of that fondness for investments and partly because of my reading of Donald
Trump and Robert Kiyosaki books, I became obsessed with real estate investments
as well. So began asking around to gather as much information as I can about
the real estate industry. I talked to people, I read blogs and pretty much
anything I could find about the subject. I am no professional, in fact I call
myself as an armchair investor, a dabbler but I am really passionate about it.
During the course of my data gathering
exploits, I came across a new development in Cavite City called the Lancaster
New City which is formerly known as Lancaster Estates. I got it off http://www.youtube.com/user/profriendsweb
. This is a development by the now
hugely popular Property Company of Friends, Inc. or simply known as Profriends.
When I first saw that the Profriends name is stamped on it, I knew that it is a
good development. It is a beautifully master planned city like no other I have
seen before. It spans across three towns in Cavite namely Imus, Kawit and Gen.
Trias.
It is already a given fact that this is a
good development. It has the standard menu of amenities that you would
typically find in high valued, premium residential developments like the
clubhouse, covered basketball and tennis courts, shopping complexes, church and
swimming pools. However, the feature that captured me most is the integration
of an I.T park or I.T hub into the community. This is the first time that I
have seen such an amenity offered in a housing development if it is even
appropriate to call it as an amenity. It is absolutely a good thing for the
residents and would be residents of Lancaster New City because they will have
the opportunity to work close to home which is a dream for most people who
makes their living through employment. The I.T Park is called the Suntech iPark
which is the first of its kind in the City of Cavite. Suntech will cater
primarily to BPO companies looking to expand their operations in provinces near
Metro Manila and to tap on local talents to work for call centers. This is where the investment opportunity comes
in for me. The property development expertise of ProFriends combined with the
employment opportunities that will be provided by Suntech iPark makes for a
prime real estate investment. That’s why I opted to get a fair-sized Alice
model townhouse that I can use as a rental property that I could rent out to
people who are going to work at the I.T Park. This is by far the best real
estate purchase I have made and I am definitely happy with my decision. It is an
investment that is really worth it.
