both are very good ideas and i am sure its something that could be achieved by both of us working together, the most important thing for me is its a pleasure doing this and not having to worry about making enough to live, its just a thought,

I've got some rice fields. Doesn't make enough money to call a living, but really does put food (rice) on the table even in a poor year. I know very well that I'm paying over the odds for the caretaker etc but as long as it's working in my favour I'm happy.
If I had the money I'd venture into milling.
Also got a coconut plantation which also brings in some money for the family. I'd like to expand this business.
I have to be really careful not to screw anyone involved even though I know I could cut costs and improve margins. Keeping the business balance is VERY important.
with my very deep pockets, it takes days weeks and even months to think do i want this so thats way of being careful
Land prices just doubled (again) in Bohol whilst your short arms fumbled in those pocketsOriginally Posted by stevewool
Renting property out is something i would look into if you are planning to semi retire. Your Ems can be the marketing manager and it would keep her fairly busy.
the trouble is we are not there, another 5 years even before we we make the move, where do we buy and what , you have to see the place and feel the place too, unless someone can say i have this place its wonderful and its just right for what you are wanting , then we have no choice but to wait and planLand prices just doubled (again) in Bohol whilst your short arms fumbled in those pockets

Steve, during the next 5 years your property in the UK will probably increase in value far in excess of anything you'd buy (with all the hassle and risk that would involve) in the Philippines. Sit tight mate, and keep your money in your pocket until you're living there would be my advice.
Daydreams are much more forgiving than reality.
In Dumaguete there are a couple of Internet Cafe's owned by a German guy and his wife and they are always really busy!
Better idea than a sari I reckon but being busy doesn't always mean it's a good business. I'd be interested to find out how much profit can be made though as the Philippines is now the social media capital of the world and not everyone owns a computer and the like.In Dumaguete there are a couple of Internet Cafe's owned by a German guy and his wife and they are always really busy!
Jamie, i would stay away from a computer shop as they are so many. Bit like sari sari stores
At 10 pesos an hour you need to be busy, thats all they charge here.
I will try to find out if I can, because he's married to Maritess cousin!
wise words Graham, and yes you are right,, thanks
Thanks Steve. I'm really trying not to sound patronising though.
It's your money and your future.
[QUOTE=grahamw48;457158]Thanks Steve. I'm really trying not to sound patronising though.
how can you and other members sound patronising when it is people like me asking questions and seeking advice from people who have been there , done that and got the tee shirt also,
Yes its down to each of us to take the step ourselves but with all the free advice that is here we would be fools to take that step before listening
[QUOTE=stevewool;457170]
I know what Graham means and part of me agrees. My comment about land prices was said half in jest. Prices of raw land in Bohol will rise in over the next 5 years but it will only be in certain areas. You just have to choose the right one
steve like another poster said land prices are going up fast in some places like bohol .you really need to come out here fast and find a lot because if you wait 5 more years you may find it hard to buy a decent lot .
What about a sari-sari and a internet cafe combined which is attached to a pension house with an added attraction of having a python in the back yard. Has to be the largest python living in captivity though to bring in the visitors.

Forget the Python Jamie, but yes a good idea, just make sure your business is walking distance from a university or at least a couple of schools!What about a sari-sari and a internet cafe combined which is attached to a pension house with an added attraction of having a python in the back yard.

The best-selling line in my toy shop there were cap guns.
