The agent can buy or sell the property only if the people are comfortable with him in buying or selling it. But is the market quite so? Can anyone make quick money by investing in real estate? Unfortunately, it is not quite so, although we rarely, if ever, hear people loosing money in real estate investment.* Mortgage loans from banks help in buying with or without personal investment. A week’s or a month’s prevailing price may not hold true for the coming days. This rarely does happen with real estate investors. This often is the case with freshers than with seasoned investors. Rising interest rates may divert the investors as the memory of the dotcom bust is still fresh. Due to lack of proper funding source, many deals can be lost. Yet the worried sellers get carried away and may falter in pricing it right which may turn away the buyers. Making quick money is something that takes a lot of preparation before investment, when you are still invested and when selling or closing the deal.6. Being a real estate agent demands a lot of patience and being responsive. So having a fair idea of pitfalls in the professions goes a long way in saving your skin in crucial moments. Sprucing up the home with some investment may yield you a higher price. Further more, the investment amount is not small too, which no one can ignore. This requires good judgment trait on the part of the agent. Lesson: longer you are invested better

The City of Manila (Filipino: Lungsod ng Maynila or Siyudad ng Maynila), or simply Manila, is the capital of the Philippines and one of the cities that make up the greater metropolitan area of Metro Manila. Manila is the center of government in the country and one of the central hubs of a thriving metropolitan area home to over 14 million people. It is located on the shores of Manila Bay just west of the geographical center of Metro Manila, also known as the National Capital Region (NCR), which lies on an isthmus between Manila Bay and Laguna de Bay in southern Luzon. The city is one of 17 cities and municipalities which form the metropolitan area.

Manila is the second most populous city proper in the Philippines, with more than 1.6 million inhabitants. Only nearby Quezon City, the country's former capital, is more populous. The metropolitan area is the second most populous in Southeast Asia. Manila is currently included in the roster of global cities of the world.

Well into the 13th century, the city consisted of a fortified settlement and trading quarter at the bay of the Pasig River, on top of previous older towns. The official name of the city under its Malay aristocracy was Seludong/Selurung, which was the same name given for the general region of southwestern Luzon at that time, suggesting that it was the capital of this territory. However, the city became well-known by the local name given to the city by its Tagalog inhabitants: Maynilad. The name is from the phrase may nilad, Tagalog for "there is nilad," in reference to the flowering mangrove plant that grew on the marshy shores of the bay, used to produce soap for regional trade. It is from the name Maynilad that the city of Manila derives its modern name.

Manila became the seat of the colonial government of Spain when it controlled the Philippine Islands for over three centuries from 1565 to 1898. Beginning in 1898, the United States occupied and controlled the city and the Philippine archipelago until 1946. During World War II, much of the city was destroyed. The Metropolitan Manila region was enacted as an independent entity in 1975.

Manila has been classified as a "Gamma" global city by the Globalization and World Cities Study Group and Network.
