Condo buying tips … get 2 parking spaces with the condo. You can actually rent out the parking space or sell it. For investment, maybe 1 bd room unit might be better than a 3 bd room unit. For other costs - Check the association fee, they charge for the parking spaces and common area outside your unit so it might be as high as P10k monthly. Water charge might be higher since they charge you commercial rates over residential rates ~ 4k a month. Electricity ~ 10-15k a month. Property tax - yearly I pay about 25k to Taguig. Good luck in your condo hunt.

Making it Happen and Juicy Vlog are having a hard time selling their condos. Beware! If you really need to buy, there are lots of 5 to 10 year old condos that are half or more than half the price that new condos are selling for. Just have it renovated by a license architect or interior designer.

Truth! They fell for the easy installment payment scheme offered by Megaworld but they didnt do the math except for the fact that they can afford the monthly amortization. they failed to research the resale value and comparables of the units within their own buildings for their potential competition when the time comes they wanna sell. in short, like most buyers falling for the easy installment plans, they didnt do the accurate and complete math!

BGC is a sure bet, but I doubt that the subway would really make a difference for the actual residents. In the Philippibes, those who can afford 20M+ homes don't usually take public transpo - a hard lesson I learned. In fact, most upscale residential development try to stay away from mass transit stations to keep the ordinary crowd away and to exude exclusivity. Also, by the time the subway is built, there will be a new Manila International Airport in Bulacan

Another plus of the Uptown Mall area is, that the ISM International School Manila, as well as the BSM British School Manila and the Japanese School, are all just on the other side of the road. They all are top notch schools with great teachers. Even it is not so interesting for you guys, as you do homeschooling and are not at one place constantly - for other people who are there most of the year, and want their kids to have a more traditional school experience, this is an absolute plus, as they dont even have to worry how they get to school and back :) Maybe you guys could do a tour at the ISM? Even though your kids do homeschooling, because for a lot of viewers this could be interesting and make the step of moving to the Philippines easier, if they have kids.. (PS: Regarding other schools, depending on nationalit: Korean International School is near Venice Mall, also in the area. Only exception is the German/European International School, as it is in Paranque, for those who might wonder..)

I like UPTOWN because I feel the serenity of the place. It has a lot of open spaces and offer a little bit of greenery where you can feel a bit of the nature and my dog loves it there too smelling the grass and all. Parking business is really good for that place as my aunti has a unit in Forbes Town and the cost of 1 parking lot is 70k a month - not included when they've purchased the unit. So it's better to secure a parking and have it rented out for a lower price and that'll give you a stable income every month.

It cost half as much as similar unit in Los Angeles, but is newer, much nicer, and better located. And HOA fee will be about 15-20% of those in LA. One difference is that in US, one can put as litlle as 10-15% down, with a 30 yrs mortagage at 6-7% interest. In short, a monthly payment that's equal to monthly rent

Actually you can lease a land for 25yrs and extendable for another 25yrs. A good more time to think about owning and with leases you can actually take the property as if its your own. And probably in a few years you might just be able to own the property in a few years by law.

There is a more favorable property investment market in the United States. A condo purchase in the Philippines may be a good investment if you live in it long-term or use it as a long-term rental. The more expensive the unit is, the more difficult it will become to rent it out. A condo purchase for resale is risky. The market is flooded with condo sales and is oversaturated.

We like the Uptown area as well. If your son likes Mitsukoshi, how about looking into The Seasons? They're right above Mitsukoshi. Would be very interested what you think of Federal Land's developments. They also have newly built towers on the other side, just across Mitsukoshi. Good luck!

My husband and I considered buying unit in BGC but we changed our mind because aside from HOA you have to pay location fee monthly. Not only that, the guy that was selling us the unit didn't even mentioned it until I said something.

Typical lack of disclosure, and sometimes some agents outright being untruthful, while developer "fine prints" in contract disavow any claims by their agents. And that's shown to buyers only after taking a substantial deposit or downpayment. Housing regulatory board is almost useless w/ regards to consumer protection

I bet the "foreigners" who gobbled up the bulk of the 40% are mainland Chinese investors/speculators. I've known one that bought 80 units in one go, from another development. Funds are pooled from several other smaller investors

No bet needed, it actually is. But many of them are selling their properties because government is clamping down on POGOs and because of WPS issue so prices are seen to moderately decrease.

I’m just lucky I bought the condo in bgc uptown parksuites way back 2012 pre selling, still dirt no building at all. I got it 12 M for 2-1/2 bed room . When I bought it my husband doesn’t know because for sure he will say no 🥶Now the price is 27 M 🤗 he just found out when he received the payment receipts from Megaworld 😂🤨

You have to check the resale market prices, then youll have an idea if youll really net an income from buying and selling or youll actually lose money because other units similar to yours are selling for a lower price vs what you paid for because they purchased earlier than you.

plus you will find so many resale units that have been in the market for several years already with no takers. so many supplies of condos for sales but buyers arent that many even if Bgc is the place to be. theres just too many listings for sale from both the resale and preselling inventory.

Funny thing is, most Filipinos rather keep their condos in the market for years rather than sell at a lower price. And some would also choose to keep their units vacant for months orw years rather than rent out at a lower price. That, unfortunately, result in a stalemate with so many condos lying empty

Hello guys! I love your condo shopping, but I would consider buying a house and lot in Tagaytay worth Php 10,000-20,000 than buying an expensive condo unit along BGC area. Tagaytay is not that far in Manila, they have also lots of great restaurants and malls there and nice climate as well.

I would be very cautious with Megaworld developments. They have a history of overhyping their projects during preselling then underdelivering years after. Do your own research and due diligence with every developer before deciding on purchasing so you can manage your own expectations.

Selling condos in PH is difficult once you bought it. It is generally difficult to sell a used a property in that price range. Most foreigners & rich Filipinos would want to buy a new one & general population can't afford it. It's not like in Europe or US. I suggest you buy something for investment rather than a place to stay.
