  • Leading your own life not following others! Driven by your talents, your heart desires and your instinct of being young professional. Start a questions such as
    “You want to be in control of your life in 5 to 15 years from now?”
    “Financially stable?”
    “What will I become after 10 years of working?”
    To help you to become an effective leader of your life, make sure you “OWN YOUR DECISION, WITHOUT APOLOGY.” That will make you PUSH FORWARD and not pulling you back.
    Do not believe in save now to buy your dream house later. Your money will be nothing when the future comes because of many uncertainties. But...

    ...Own a house now to have your savings grow more valuable than ever.

    LUMINA HOMES will help you find it.

  • Planning for your own place located strategically within the city? Lumina Homes Iloilo is the right choice for young professionals like you. It is a value-priced property that is situated near schools, hospitals, churches, malls, and close to the airport. Family can access a wide range of opportunities to grow in a healthier community. It is equipped with various amenities like basketball courts, community hall, playground, and mini garden. Moreover, there are different model houses designed suited to your needs and budget.

  • While we all want the most significant and most lavish house to show off, you must ensure that it is something you can manage, and Lumina is one of the best choices. Many people's most significant financial choice is purchasing a property. The advantages of house owners are not without fees and constraints. A fixed-rate mortgage means you'll pay the same monthly principal and interest amount until the loan is paid off. Rents are subject to increase at each annual lease renewal, and you will not receive any of the money you pay in rent back. Monthly payments can be affected by fluctuating property taxes or homeowner's insurance, but this happens less frequently than rent increases. With low borrowing rates, owning a home is an excellent long-term investment. Because you own the home, you have the freedom to renovate it to your desire, which is something that renters do not have. It would help if you also examined the situation's stability, as moving in and out takes a lot of time and effort.

My experience in real estate motivates me to share with others the importance of investing timely and wisely. Have you read about the latest results from the 2019 Annual Poverty Indicators Survey (APIS)? Based on the data, only (64.1%) of families owned the house and lot they occupied based on the (14.8%) of families occupied a house they own but with rent-free lot with consent of owner, 8.3 percent rented the house/room including lot; 6.7 percent occupied a rent-free house and lot with consent of owner; and the rest either owned the house but the lot was rent-free without consent of owner (3.2%), owned the house but the lot was rented (2.4%) or with rent-free house and lot without consent of owner (0.4%). ( PSA, August 7, 2020, http://www.google.com.)

  • I will choose ARMINA SINGLE FIREWALL model to be our company staff house in Iloilo City, this is one of the best option I’ve seen. My two best options are ARMINA DUPLEX and the ARMINA SINGLE FIREWALL but I chose ARMINA SINGLE FIREWALL over ARMINA DUPLEX. They have the same measure and feature of the house like it has a living area, dining & kitchen, one toilet & bath, three bedrooms, a service area, and one carport provision but the advantage of this house model is, it comes with additional features like a free ceiling and tiles on the ground floor. And I also like about this model because it single house no attachment to other house my staff can move freely and have more privacy.

  • For me I prefer Armina Duplex because of its simplicity, practicality, and for the comfort of my employees because armina duplex is double so we can divide men and women for it is the better way to avoid any uncomfortable to happen, leading to a great work environment.

  • For me, I will choose the armina duplex for my employees because they have three bedrooms they can use the other rooms for their office, and also armina duplex have a living area, kitchen, toilet, bath and also duplex they have one carport provision it's important to my employees that have a car .

  • When our company is planning to buy a house in Iloilo City for the employees I could rather choose the Angeli Townhouse because this model of house is such a large area that enough to our employees. It also offered a firewall building that is important.

  • For me i will choose a safety environment for my employees, a house that complete room, have a kitchen, bed room, comfort room, meeting room, or office room .
