Comfort is at the forefront of many vacation homes. It’s a tricky quality to measure, but you can start by considering the unit’s size. After all, a spacious home translates to more personal space and privacy, and a designated area to accommodate relatives and friends.

It’s also the perfect spot for activities usually done indoors, such as reading, journaling, home workout routines, and meditation.

3 Life-Changing Benefits of Township Living for OFWs
For most OFWs, there’s no place like home. Even though they have the stamina and determination to work abroad, many of them still dream of returning home for good. And when they do, they want to be in a place where they can truly relax and feel secure.
Designed like a mini city in a larger neighborhood, townships are one of the best places to live for OFWs. These developments bring families together, giving them the space and the time to catch up with each other.
Townships like Anyana in Tanza, Cavite are also known for their high appreciation potential. This is something to look out for if building wealth is also one of your goals.
Township living offers more life-changing perks that you and your loved ones deserve. Here are some of them:
Enjoy City Life in a Suburban Setting
Living in the suburbs would typically mean you’re outside the city and far from its modern facilities. At Anhana by AMV Realty, everything is about to change. This much-awaited masterplanned community spans 192 hectares, complete with residential, commercial, and recreational components.
The project features a luxurious clubhouse, a sprawling commercial hub with a park, a church, a transport terminal, and provisions for office buildings and a school. The future looks bright in this part of South Luzon because residents will also be near Tanza-Trece Martires Road, which leads to the de-facto capital of the province. It also offers quick access to government offices and more commercial establishments.
To the east of Tanza, Dasmariñas City is just a short drive away. OFWs living at Anyana could easily reach the established schools, hospitals, and leisure destinations in this area. Further, the main spine road of Anhana will be linked to the upcoming Daang Hari Extension, connecting you to the Cavite-Laguna Expressway. This will result in less travel time if you’re heading towards Alabang, Laguna, or Batangas.
Live Together Happily with Loved Ones
What defines a happy home? For many upgraders and OFW families, it’s about having ample space to pursue individual goals and activities that bring everyone together.
At Anhana, the finest homes have spacious floor areas, allowing residents to live a more comfortable lifestyle. The project’s flagship development, Vel Air Centrale, occupies 21 hectares, with homes designed after the lifestyles of the rich and famous in Bel Air, Los Angeles.
In this enclave, you’ll find modern-designed houses named after popular destinations worldwide: Tokyo, New York, and Paris. Home options include units measuring around 100 to 158 square meters in floor area. Each of them has a minimum of three bedrooms, a balcony, and a carport.
Get the Chance to Run Your Own Business
Starting a business in a township is worth considering, especially if you have the capital and want to be home for good. Besides distinctive residential units, Anhana also offers commercial lots.
At Vel Air Centrale, for instance, there are 30 commercial lots with a median size of 300 square meters. These lots, along with the house and lot packages surrounding them, have direct access to the Country Club and Sunset Boulevard.
Anhana’s commercial lots are specifically located in its shopping strip, envisioned to offer a wide range of dining and entertainment options. A business here could attract upwardly-mobile clients or Anhana residents looking for outdoor fun.
Further, shophouses are making a comeback at Anhana. These properties combine dwelling and retail spaces in one structure. Usually, the ground floor of shophouses is used for commercial purposes, while the upper floor accommodates the living space. These units are another investment option to consider if you want to get into business.
You can start small once you have determined your niche and your products. At the same time, you can rent out the upper floor and give the rental business a try. Doing so gives you a chance to have multiple income streams that will help you build wealth.
When everything goes well, you can look forward to a life of financial stability. No more leaving abroad to support your needs and those of your loved ones. Most importantly, you’ll have valuable assets and a good life to pass on to your children.
A Millennial Investor’s Guide to Condo Buying
Millennials are a growing force in the property investment scene, and for all the right reasons. Many of them are eager to acquire condo units as they can produce positive returns through regular passive income and price appreciation.
If you’re a financially savvy millennial or aspiring to be one, saving money isn’t enough. Having a well-thought-out investment strategy is crucial for greater results.
Ready to dive into condo investing? Here’s a guide tailored specifically for you:
Create an Investment Philosophy
An investment philosophy refers to a set of guiding principles when making decisions as an investor. Think of it as your map that can get you where you want to go.
To create your philosophy statement, figure out your own values and beliefs about money. What’s your investment style? How will you earn returns from your property? A good example of investment philosophy is from John Bogle, an Investment Giant named by Fortune Magazine:
“Buy-and-hold, long-term, all market-index strategies, implemented at rock bottom cost, are the surest of all routes to the accumulation of wealth.”
If your own philosophy statement sounds similar to this, consider investing in a premium condo project like SYNC by AMV Realty. The longer you hold on to your unit here, the higher its value will be, thanks in part to its strategic location along the C5 Corridor in Metro Manila. Besides capital appreciation, it’s also ideal for generating passive income. SYNC is designed to accommodate the evolving needs of city dwellers, which can further increase its future rental demand.
Get Started with a Future-Focused Mind
What makes SYNC stand out among many options is its set of innovative features. The home of the future is digitally-enabled, and this is exactly what SYNC offers. Its recently launched N tower has units with smart home features. These product offerings will entice digital natives looking for a place that doubles as a workspace, complete with safe and energy-efficient features.
Units will have smart locks for an added layer of security, smart lights to easily change the ambiance of the space, and an audio-video intercom that allows residents to screen their guests before allowing them inside. All these digital features can easily be accessed through an app. They are future-ready investment options that can get you ahead of the game.
Think “Location, Leisure, Lifestyle”
Location remains one of the major factors to consider when investing in a condo or any property. But then again, it’s not just “location, location, location” that you should think about. A wise investor would think differently (and from a new perspective) since home-buying preferences also change over time.
That said, it’s recommended that you consider three crucial factors: location, leisure, and lifestyle. It’s not enough that your condo property is accessible. It will matter more if it’s in a walkable neighborhood. Property seekers are more concerned about their health and wellness than ever, so having a unit that enhances these would lead to earning solid passive income.
SYNC by AMV Realty is located along C5 Road in Pasig, minutes away from the city’s premier workplaces and vibrant lifestyle hubs. Some notable developments nearby include Robinsons Galleria, the emerging township of Bridgetowne, Ortigas Center, and Kapitolyo.
Leisure options are likewise crucial as they contribute to improving the health and wellness of urban dwellers. In a condo like SYNC, residents will be treated to world-class amenities. These include, but are not limited to, an indoor leisure pool, stylish lounge area, function rooms, well-equipped fitness hub, game room, and a garden deck. There is also a Sky Bridge to connect the four towers, as well as a Sky Deck from which residents can enjoy panoramic views of the city.
The availability of these leisure facilities, along with advanced safety features within the condo, leads to an upgraded urban lifestyle. This is the way of life that many city dwellers are seeking, and one of their goals is to find serenity amidst a big, bustling city.
If you can accommodate this need for a better lifestyle, getting excellent returns for the long haul is possible.
With SYNC, you can own an investment that meets your financial goals and grows wealth. A unit here is well-positioned and well-designed to help you attract future renters or buyers.
Amid Inflation Rate Hike, Real Estate is Still Top Investment According to Brokers
Real estate is still a great investment despite the rise of the country’s inflation rate, brokers shared at the recently concluded AMV Link, held on November 16, 2022, at AMV Realty Showroom, Glorietta in Makati City.
According to the report of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the country’s headline inflation rate stood at 7.7% in October 2022 from 6.9% in September 2022. This is the highest recorded figure since December 2008.
Myrie Meyers, AMV Realty’s broker operations head, said, “Real estate is still a good choice [because] it’s stable, it appreciates, [and] you can hedge for inflation. [I]f you make your client understand that, I think you will be able to sell both vertical and horizontal projects.”
On the other hand, Lyr Buenagua of Lyr Buenagua Realty Services shared that selling property amid the current inflation is an advantage. “‘Yung mga madaming naipon na nasa mga time deposit nila, nilalabas nila yung pera nila at bumibili sila ng real estate,” she said. (Home buyers who saved more money in their time deposit accounts use it to buy real estate.)
Saving money is the first step in securing a stable future. The next step is to invest that money to further grow and prosper.
From Simple Dreams to a Grand Reality
A rising realty royalty, Buenagua is the cover of BEST Magazine’s October issue where she is dubbed as the “Rising New Realtor Queen.” She was also featured in the Manila Times’ article, “A New Realtor Queen Rises.”
“I have been exposed to the real estate [industry] since 1995. I was in first year college when my mom, a housewife, became a real estate broker,” Sanchez shared.
On the other hand, Meyers entered the real estate industry when she joined AMV Realty in 2011. She previously handled the sales operations of Visayas and Mindanao and the International team, as well as Avida’s Corporate and Digital assets.
Now, Meyers is a licensed broker and the head of Broker Operations for AMV Realty. “I’m really grateful to AMV Realty because as soon as I joined, I really got that license,” she added.
Broker-Investors Add Credibility in Selling Properties
Different brokers have different practices that help them effectively sell a property and succeed in the business. As AMV Realty’s broker operations head, Meyers shared that it is an added advantage if the agents themselves are also home investors.
“They (property seekers) want to talk more to investors themselves than salespeople. [Because] when you’re trying to sell them something, it’s a whole different thing if you are really managing their investments, and you have credibility if you have your own (property),” Meyers added.
Meanwhile, choosing to work with the best people is Sanchez’ golden rule as a broker. “I really choose the people I work with. It’s part of my problem prevention. Instead of always solving problems—instead of putting out fires—I prevent fires,” she said.
The real estate industry is competitive, so it is important to cultivate hardworking and determined brokers to ensure a successful path in selling properties.
Payment Solutions for Any Type of Home Seeker
Having multiple options of payment terms and schemes makes property transactions smooth and fast. Brokers should also gauge and learn their clients’ budget to suggest the right payment option.
Clients may choose to buy property through a housing loan. Buenagua’s realty service offers a pre-qualification process through a partner bank. Brokers can adapt this efficient practice to avoid hassle.
“[I] have them pre-qualify for a loan for us to save time, energy, and effort of going through the whole process. I want them (property seekers) to take the first concrete step,” Buenagua said.
Meanwhile, AMV Realty offers flexible payment terms which are fit for first-time home buyers. “[W]e can sit with them (home seekers) and check how much they can really allocate for their first home,” Meyers said. If a client is interested in availing an AMV unit and turn it into a source of passive income, they also have a dedicated leasing service team that handles all the work.
