    The investment thread (Finally)

    I have invested in Philippines (Manila bay). Waiting for turnover. A few others trying to sell but find it difficult to do so before turnover. No agents seem to be keen. After turnover, there is 6% tax, among other fees. Do u have the same problem? Where is "space and Victoria melate"?

    Owner for ksl d'esplanade residence

    Hi, Thanks. Looks like no other way. i like it that the condo is above a shopping mall, for convenience. So, no choice. I suppose for projects with residencial blocks above commercial activities, the entire plots are commercial plots.
