Condo Buying Tips Philippines: Mga Kailangang Malaman Bago Bumili (PART 2) 

I’m happy that you still found this video helpful even though I published this years ago 😊

Sige po 😊 Magkakaroon din po ako ng video na ganyan soon 😁

Welcome po 😊

Hello, sir, I’m slightly confused on the topic you’re suggesting 😊 just to clarify, Is it how important internet in considering a condo?

Congratulations 😊🎉

Hope you click the notification bell so you’ll be notified when I have new videos 😊💕

Yes, I’ll be releasing more helpful videos po 😊 Hoping you can subscribe 😁

Salamat po 😊

Hi, sige po. Gagawan ko po ng video yan 😊

awww... That means a lot to me po 😊

If there are still a lot of incoming POGO workers then it's okay for investment. If not, average Filipinos may find the rental price too expensive considering the unit's space too 😊

Hi, ma’m, pasensya na po. Wala po akong alam sa hbi urban loft po eh 🥺😔

All glory to God po 🙂 Salamat po sa pag-subscribe 🙂

Welcome po 😊

Soon po gagawan ko ng video 😊

Thank you for subscribing 😊🎉

That is great to hear po. We really need to prepare our personal finances since purchasing a condominium property is a huge commitment and investment 😊

Thank you very much po 😊

Thank you for watching my video 😊💕

Hi, if personal use, hindi ko po ma-recommend kasi medyo hindi maganda track record ni developer and based din sa mga subscriber na nag-share ng problems nila sa kin po.

Their financing options are definitely attractive. However, personally, I would rather get a pre-selling condo project from other real estate developers or buy a house outside of Metro Manila rather than buy from CDC Homes because based on what others have experienced so far, they changed the prices of buyers despite the presence of a Contract to Sell. Others who have paid in full amount have yet to get their Condominium Certificate of Title. Management is poor as well so it definitely will affect the quality of living. Hindi worth it yung mura sa sakit sa ulo para sa kin po 😀

It is a good location but it will take long for you to get ROI since the prices there have already been driven up by the POGO 😅

Hi, it’s really affordable or cheap even but you’ll get what you pay for. Sabi nga mga nakausap ko mababa ang quality of living at substandard yung materials na ginamit kaya may iba’t ibang problems gaya ng water leaks, manipis na pader, etc. So worry ko doon structural integrity lalo na di pa nangyayari yung “Big One” na earthquake. So kung ako, I would rather buy an affordable house & lot outside of Metro Manila kung kapos sa budget like Cavite, Rizal, Bulacan, etc. o mag-rent ng apartment. Mahirap ma-stuck sa isang property na gnyan kasi 😅

@@OwnPropertyPH These are great points po. Thank you so much! :)

Yes, ok naman po siyang investment kung may face to face class na kasi yung location ng projects po nila usually walking distance sa universities. Ang target market po ay students and young professionals 😊

I’m planning to create a video regarding that po soon since most of the people think that purchasing is always the best decision 😊

If you plan to live in the north, then Avida Land Sola Towers is a good option. It is in a good location since you’ll have an easy access to the train systems and bus stations. Right across the development is the Vertis North Gardens where you can enjoy a green space in the middle of a concrete jungle. If you plan to purchase a unit, I can assist you po. You may email me at hello@ownpropertyph.com 🙂

Hello, I currently don’t have access to the selling price of SMDC Light 2 Boni and I don’t handle Amaia projects so I couldn’t do a computation 🥺

Hello, ma’m, I don’t have po 😊

Wow!love the location of that Condo,but it so happened I wanted a unit that I can moved in rt away n so I can't wait until the project is done.Ain't got no bad reviews about SMDC builder since I check n read some consumer feedbacks before I started checking around.Anyhow,gudluck to us since am a first time buyer.Stay safe,kabayan.Salamuch fr North Carolina,USofA.

You’ll get what you pay for kaya hindi siya ganun ka-valuable. In terms sa quality of living, ganun din po kaya adjust nalang po ang expectations. God bless po 😊

Hello, hindi simple ang sagot sa tanong niyo po kasi kailangan itake into account ang mga kalaban na Airbnb listings sa Makati pati market demand para malaman kung magandang investment for airbnb ang condo doon. Kaya pasensiya na po at hindi ko masasagot ang tanong niyo po 🥺

The balcony is usually included in the selling price. There are actually real estate developers who classify units with balcony as premium. Balconies add value to the unit especially these days when residents are cooped up at home because of the community quarantine. Some also turned into #plantitos and #plantitas so they put plants on their balconies 😊

Yes po, I’m planning to create that video po 😊

@@OwnPropertyPH Thank you ♥♥♥

Hi, ma'm, I can't give advice without knowing your financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment goals 🙂

I sell both projects but most of my clients prefer purchasing DMCI units because of the value for money, build quality, resort-like amenities and not having single loaded hallways 😊 Suntrust is okay but I heard for some of their condos have problems with admin and maintenance. Hope that helps 😊

Is it for investment po or for residential use? I stayed in a Torre Lorezo unit nung college po ko for 2 years at ok naman po siya. Premium yung amenities yun nga lang as a busy student, hindi ko po talaga nagamit yung amenites 😅

Is it for residential or for investment? Cityland is okay since it's spacious compared to other condominium projects and it's fairly affordable but check closely if they already allow bank financing at the end. They have projects that only have in-house financing and the rate is high.

Sir, medyo na-confuse po ako sa question na ito. Ang question niyo po ba, bibili ng condo for investment o for residential purpose?

Yes, meron pong capital gains tax kapag binenta ang condo po 😊

Thank you so much po 😊💕

Thank you 😊

Hi, it's important for me to know your budget so I can suggest 😊 Kindly email me at ownpropertyphilippines@gmail.com.

I assume you’re already fully paid with your condo. If yes, you should already have your Condominium Certificate of Title by now and you need that so you can sell your condo as planned 😊

Hi, those are usually covered by the condominium association fees unless it’s DMCI Homes whereby payment for those are separate but they provide a breakdown of those fees in the Statement of Account 😊

Yes, most of the real estate developers allow it po 😊 I handle different projects from various real estate developers as well as assist in bank loan. If ever you need a real estate broker and someone to assist you, you may reach me at ownpropertyphilippines@gmail.com or FB: Own Property PH 😊

Yes I may need your assistance next time ❤😊

Hi, I usually talk and try to know about your the financial situation and goals of the buyer before suggesting any condo property or condo project 😊

Hi po, I regret to inform you that I can’t share an opinion yet since I still haven’t been on any of GFL’s condo developments. But upon checking the project details, the condo seems promising because it’s energy efficient then the it’s designed by Asya design. The location is also great. It’s just discouraging to know that for a project that was launched last 2012, they still haven’t completed the building. For a real estate investor, that is lost income and the real estate developer can be compelled to give a refund 😊

Hello, it really depends on the purpose of why you’re buying and the quality of living you’re aiming for. So I can’t answer your question without knowing your circumstances and goals 😊

Hello, sir, I discussed about it in my video “Is the Life Span of Condominium 50 years only?” 😊

Contract to Sell po at copy ng Master Deed po 😊

Hello, yung sagot po dito depende sa personal circumstances, financial situation, etc. kaya hind siya nasasagot ng simpleng ok o hindi po 🙂

Nakukuha po yung Condominium Certificate of Title after transfer process so need po ng Deed of Absolute Sale which nagkakaroon kapag fully paid na unit 😊

Based sa feedback nung mga nakausap ko, okay for investment yung San Lorenzo nila pero yung ibang projects may problema sa titling o kaya naman substandard ang build po 😊

@@OwnPropertyPH thanks po sa feedback!.. So I won't consider Highland City anymore.. Sorry lulubusin ko na pagtatanong, do you have any suggestion for a project that is good for flipping and/or for leasing that has a flexible or light dp terms? Btw since Megaworld owns Empire East as well, does its projects also has similar issues? Thanks and more power!

@@romualdosilanga4606 Malayo layo po yung Highland City at maraming buildings si developer doon sa mahirap i-flip po. PM me po sa Own Property PH yung preferred location niyo po 😊 Yes, similar issues po 😅 Poor quality of unit, delays in turnover, condo association managed by developer’s property management company, and delays in Condominium Certificate of Title.

Hi Sir Romualdo, I'm a Licensed Real Estate Agent in Empire East. I'm glad to help you regarding our projects.

Hi, ma’m, wala po akong feedback sa Ridgewood Residences kasi hindi ko po nahandle iyon. Aware lang ako sa location niya and it’s an affordable condominium in BGC. Meanwhile, for Sunshine 100, it’s more spacious for its price point. Kung mamimili ako sa dalawa based on location, mas ok po sa Ridgewood kung sa BGC kayo ngwowork po 😊

I’m so glad you did 😊

Hi, your question isn’t simple to answer since it will be based on your financial capability 😊 You may email me at ownpropertyphilippines@gmail.com if you would like to schedule a virtual meeting so we can discuss better.

@@OwnPropertyPH thank you 😊

Ok po yung City Land for families at kpag bibili ka po, buy using cash kasi in-house financing sila usually so mapapamahal ka po in the long run 😊

Yes, ok po sila 😊

Hello, low density po, below 10 condos per floor, medium density po, between 10 to 20. Pero usually depende rin sa project po 😊

Hi, thank you for your comment 😊 Hindi po kasi ako accredited ng Urban Deca Homes kaya hindi ko pa magawan ng review po

Both projects are offered by good real estate developers. However, the two projects have a different target market. SYNC Residences are geared more toward young professionals. Meanwhile, Allegra Garden Place is better suited for families, couples, or retirees. So whichever you choose will depend on your target market and the unit type you are purchasing.

mam marilou meron po akong kakilala na may condo sa san jose builders. Pangit po experience nila. LAte turnover po at mrami pa daw issue sabi sakin.

@@gotdlife2000 thank you sa info mam big help

Like what @gotdlife2000 said, maraming issues at problems. And problems persist kahit na turnover na po. So I don’t recommend it. Hindi sulit yung natipid na bayad sa sakit ng ulo na maaring ma-experience po 😅😆 Pero kung iyon ang swak sa budget, pwede ng pagtiyagaan po 😊

@@OwnPropertyPH That's what my friends told me din. San Jose Builders is not a really good developer

@@OwnPropertyPH Hi! How about po ang SMDC Calm Residences?

Ok po 😊

Hi, it depends on your real estate strategy. If it’s condo flipping, I think it’s a bit late already. If for long term lease, it depends on who your target market would be 😊

Hello, sir/ma’m, kindly reach out at ownpropertyphilippines@gmail.com so we can discuss better and we can set a virtual meeting 😊

@@OwnPropertyPH yo can we messenger instead?

@@GTA-om4iy All right, sir/ma’m. Kindly message me on Facebook:Own Property PH. I’m free po 9 PM onwards today 😊

Hi sir GTA im selling my condo unit po baka interested po kayo.

Hi po, it depends on the rules and regulations of the condo and the kind of the amenity to be used. For example, for the usage of the swimming pool, the registered owner may use for free then his visitor has to pay. Meanwhile, a function room can be used by the registered owner at discounted rates 😊

@@OwnPropertyPH Thank you po sa informative response! Napakahelpful po ng Vids niyo.

@@albertjacob328 salamat po 😊💕

Hello, I responded po sa similar question niyo po sa other video ko 😊

Hi, I can’t recommend Deca Homes because of complaints and bad reviews by some of my subscribers 😊

Hi, ma'm, it is best to reach me at ownpropertyphilippines@gmail.com 😊

Hello, look also for the License to Sell issued by the DHSUD formerly Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board 😊

Hello po. Kung condotel, anung condotel? Kung SMDC condo, anong project po? 😊

Pwede naman mag-flip ng 2 or more condo at a time and kahit magkaibang real estate developer. Basta ma-sure niyo po na may demand talaga yung condo projects. Kasi maiipit po kayo kapag hindi nabenta before turnover 🙂

@@OwnPropertyPH Thank You so much po. Yun din po naiisip ko buti talaga nagtanong muna ako para alam ma-antipate ko yung sinabi nyo. Maraming salamat po ❤❤

@@markataa.k.aagwayr6888 Hello! Ano po ang locations ng mga property (DMCI and SMDC) na you plan to flip? Thank you! :))

Anong developer po iyan and anung condo para maging aware rin po kami at makatulong din sa iba balak bumili? 😊

Yearly lumpsum to be paid for a preselling condo po? Or yearly lumpsum sa association dues po? 😊

@@OwnPropertyPH sa pre selling po

Kung pang new san jose builders ang budget, pwede na pagtiyagaan pero kung mas malaki pa budget mo po, mas ok na iba nalang para makaiwas sa sakit sa ulo po 😁

@@OwnPropertyPH ooppps haha mukang may laman yon a hahah

@@OwnPropertyPH salamat po maam..

Paminsan may construction defects and deliverable, paminsan overpriced po. Pero may mga ibang projects naman sila na okay din po 😊

@@OwnPropertyPH woah. Kakakuha ko lang unit sa cubao. 🥺🥺 Preselling kaya di ko pa makita. Sana okay naman.

@@OwnPropertyPH thank you for replying ♥️

Wala pa po 😊 Pinapaabot ko muna ng 20k views bago ako maglabas ng next para hindi sayang sa pagod po.

Thank you for sharing? 😊

@@OwnPropertyPH any thoughts with cainta royale palace thanks?

All right, sir 🙂 I thought the English subtitles below are already sufficient but apparently not. So I'll add it to the videos I have to make 🙂

@@OwnPropertyPH no disrespect. It’s just hard to follow

@@jlmarc01 I understand 😊 I’ll definitely make one and instead of PHP as the currency, I’ll use USD. It might just take a while since I still have a lot of videos lined up 😅

Maybe look for english only vloggers??
