Sorry, I doublechecked with the team: They are buying an entire island in the Palawan REGION. Palawan is also the name of the largest island in the region. So it is not to buy Palawan island but an island in the Palawan archipelago.

Hello, Just to clarify here: This is not to buy an island, it is to build a resort on an island. Joel

I have an information pack that I can email you. I will include contacts for the team as well as they will be better placed than me to give you details about costs. My email address is on my profile, send me your contacts and I will send you the docs + contacts by reply. Cheers Joel

I invested in the Belizean project a year-ish ago. Mostly because I knew the management (one was an ex-colleague), Belize seemed like a market ripe for growth through tourism and I liked their commitment to sustainable development. In short, I could make a nice ROI and doing some good. The first phase of the Belizean project is near completion (most of the infrastructure is there now and the environmental assessment impact is about to end). So far the land has doubled in value so I am quite pleased with it. Next steps will be for me to build a small villa for rent as part of the development. The project in Palawan is more upmarket and I cannot afford it unfortunately (not yet). If I had available cash, I would definitely go for it. I know the region for having lived in South-East Asia and it is beautiful. Hope that helps. Joel

It's not a scam (everyone gets so paranoid these days...). It's a friend of mine who set up this company a while ago. This is their second development. I invested in the first one and I am helping im finding buyers for the second one.

I have an "investment pack" which is more information about the resort, investment memorandum and so on. If you email me, I'll send it to you. It's a zip file with 4 PDFs document. If you are interested or have further questions, I'll put you in touch with the team. Joel

Own a piece of paradise, make a sound investment and be part of a like-minded community: A year and a half ago, I invested in Barefoot, a friend’s company building an eco-resort in Belize. Barefoot specialises in creating, building and managing very distinctive, mid-level luxury resort communities that are socially responsible and environmentally friendly. Members are educated and international young professionals (as well as some successful serial entrepreneurs and a UK MP…). This year, they are launching a new resort in Palawan, Philippines. The offer has just been launched and closes May 31st (first come is first served on property selection): 1. You’ll need US$100,000 of capital to invest over 4 years. 2. The proposed cash return is 42% on the original capital investment (over the four year Investment Period); 3. Plus, allocation of an improved parcel of land; 4. Plus, construction and fittings for a ready-to-rent villa which can be further customised and then used, rented out or sold. 5. Rental income is likely to start at US$10k per annum (US$250 per night), of which approximately 80% is returned to the owner. If you are just considering your return on capital employed: The best case scenario is $1 = $3.92 in four years. The worst case is US$142,000 in cash and an appreciating asset. If you are thinking rental returns, you still are promised a cash sum of US$142,000 after year 4 plus ownership of the ready-to-rent island villa. These will rent at US$250 – $450 per night and depending on how often you use it, rental income is estimated to start at $10,000 per annum of which 80% is returned directly to the owner. The all-inclusive annual fees are low (approximately $2,500) and if you do not rent your property in any given year (keep it as a private home), the charges are discounted. No debt funding is used for the project and investors retain a claim on all company assets (the island, equipment, materials and cash) until the investment is a success. The management team also defer their own profit-related rewards until the investors are paid. The investment capital is employed through a Limited Liability Corporation meaning that all investors are responsible for their own tax declarations - the company will not deduct tax at source nor declare assets or income on behalf of the beneficiary. Above all, you’ll do your bit for sustainable development and own a beautiful villa on a tropical island.

Of course, you can contact me directly for the full pack or more information (please look at the online presentation and their website first). Joel joelcere@hotmail.com Remove (NOSPAM)
