Dipolog City - House and Lot For Sale

Original Article @ Dipolog house and Lot for Sale

The Philippines does suffer from a high average rainfall especially at this time of year with over 400mm in the current month although in the spring this from down to around 100mm many houses are built with tin roof with the result that heavy rain makes it impossible to hear someone speaking, added to this is the lack of rain gutters and downpipes so an artificial waterfall is created. Our house and lot for Sale in Dipolog city, is finished with shingle tiles which reduce the noise to nothing and we have long lasting plastic gutters and downpipes, rather that metal which deteriorate rapidly in the tropic,

As you can image you can collect a lot of free water and we originally had plans to place storage tanks behind the house filled by the downpipes rather that letting this resource go to waste.

The one good thing about tropical storms they are over quite quickly and soon the sun is shining brightly again.

Dipolog City - House and Lot For Sale

Original Article @ Dipolog house and Lot for Sale

out house which is for sale in Dipolog city is built on rock with a concrete foundation. The standard construction method locally is to use reinforced concrete pillars with hollow block walls. Problems however can arise due to the quality of the blocks which is not consistent and they will fracture under load, so in the event of an earthquake the walls are liable to collapse leaving only the pillars standing.

Our Dipolog house and lot for sale in addition to being built on rock also has concrete reinforced walls, with the concrete being poured, so that the the walls and the pillars are all tied together so that wall can support some of the load. One other advantage of this method of construction is a smoother finish for both interior and exterior walls.

Since we have lived in the house there have been a few tremors but no damage or cracks have appeared in walls so this method seems successful.

We are at the moment gathering information and planning our removals to Cyprus, its a bit of a gut wrench as we had expected to be here for some time, however our business comes first so move we must.

Well we have a house for sale in Dipolog city which is ready to move into, all you need to bring is your personal belonging we can even provide you with a car, so that you have virtually nothing else to purchase.

The house was completed earlier this year and stands in a gated community off the main road, it is in a quiet location with views over the surrounding area. There is a communal pool which is undergoing renovation. The gated community means you are protected from casual visitors who try to sell their wares door to door. The residents are mainly expats and include some affluent locals.

We have lived in the house since February and have found that the patio doors installed both upstairs and downstairs allows for good air circulation as a light breeze can flow through the house on most days. I you love the sun it shines on the garden throughout the day, although you can always find a shady spot to sit and read. If things get too hot for you you can always switch on the air conditioning to cool you down.

The house is ideal for a family with both public and private schools within walking distance. The city centre is just a short ride away by tricycle cab, which is the main form of transport in the city. Dipolog is more like a small town rather than a city and the locals have a laid back attitude.

Local markets provide the source of fresh fish and fruits such as mango, which are cheap and delicious. If you are partial to western food the large supermarkets are the place to shop, including Lee Plaza. Lee plaza is a small modern shopping Mall with good supermarket, general stores, food outlets and a place to gather at the weekend, it has a useful underground car park as well.

Creating serious wealth

Earlier this year became involved with some HYIP investments as a test to see if they worked. I had never really trusted them as they where attached to payments systems which I did not trust. However I found a couple that were supported by Payza, so I used that as a marker because I have used Payza and it predecessor for a number of years. All was going well until Payza without warning down supporting Hyip systems, with the result I could not withdraw my money.

I lodged a dispute with Payza requesting them to recover the money I had in the investment, not expecting to hear anything, then yesterday I had a pleasant surprise when I was informed that the had recovered 20% which actually matched by start up investment so it was a good deal. perhaps I was lucky, but I no longer would recommend anyone to invest in HYIP systems unless it is with money they can afford to lose.

My Pre-launch Forex business continues to gain with a further trade in the last week breaking through the $1,000 level, not bad for a free account with a credit of $100. the account is being managed at the moment so it is an easy way to start building up some capital for when the company launches, there is of course no risk because there was no start up cost.

I am now focussing all my efforts on ED Mercer's 100 millionaire's challenge project, the program has to be seen to be believed, There are not many people who have access to someone of Ed stature, who can provide advice on how to grow your wealth. Is is a serious business far removed from anything you have seen or heard about before. Ed Mercer has achieved virtually everything he has set out to do, so there is no reason to believe he will not succeed with his latest challenge.

Life in the Philippines -Business

Operating a Business in the Philippines

I have been reviewing my business commitments and as I have mentioned in previous posts the Philippines is a hard place to operate business, not only are the margins small but people who live in the provinces are on low wages.

I know of many people who have set up local businesses operating resorts, restaurants and bars, but they struggle to earn a living and have to rely on income from abroad to make ends meet. Don't get me wrong the Philippines is great place to live and your money goes a long way, but if you need to work the rewards are not worth the effort.

Yes you can hire workers for very little cost but to have good results you need to keep on top of what they are doing. The pace of life is slow here and you need to set aside quite a lot of time to get business transactions completed and there is a love of needing lots of paperwork.

I have been setting up a business connected with Ed Mercers 100 millionaires challenge and that has been a challenge and an eye opener in itself. As an Internet marketer branding is very important and one point I always stress is if the company has a website it is important that they use an email address connected to the website but here many companies just use a yahoo address. Just yesterday I received a reply to an email sent over a month ago to the manager of a company official email address, she apologised saying that it was a new address and she normally used yahoo. Is this the way to run a serious business?

I suppose local people who operates business just do as others before them and know no better, but for those who have dreams of expanding or attracting business from overseas they need to make great changes in the way they work, including removal of corrupt business practices.

I was happy to start setting up a business here but for the past 18 months have been banging by head against a brick wall, I now see that the time has come to move to an area where business ethics and practices are more inline with my thinking so rather than complaining, I am going to vote with my feet and an put together an exit plan in line with my goal for building serious wealth.
