Condo Unit Or House & Lot?


Recommended Posts

Which is one better, a condo unit or a house and lot

 

there are pros and cons between the 2..

 

condo unit:

 

pros: near your workplace,

near just about anywhere in metro manila,

low maintainance

secured

 

cons: expensive water,

expensive association fees,

higher risk

unnatural living

 

 

house and Lot:

 

pros: nice environment and community

appreciates in value

 

 

cons: far from metro manila

far from workplace

high maintenance

unsecured

 

 

so which one will you prefer buying, owning, for use as investment or for personal use?

it will all depend on you. just factor in the cost of paying real estate taxes sa house and lot and the cost of maintenance. factor in mo na din yung cost of parking pag naka condo ka.

 

it will all depend on your lifestyle. but yes, i have to agree na pag may kids ka, better ang H&L. pero kung single living ka lang. much better ang condo, dahil for one, its more nearer from your place of work.

I prefer a house and lot with a garden. Kahit magisa lang ako, bibili na lang ako ng pitbull. I'll make a small pond with koi. Maliit lang yung house para madali linisin. After coming home from work, kuha ako ng lounge chair, sit beside the pond, drink some beer at pat my dogs head. Gawa rin ako ng bar sa labas ng bahay para pag may inuman. :lol: Kung manalo ako sa lotto yun ang gagawin ko. hehehe

If you are looking at long term investment, the kind that even your apo will be able to inherit, house & lot. condominiums or buildings have life spans, after an X amount of years (usually between 50 to 100 years) the building will be condemned, the tenants will then decide what to do with the land, most of the time it gets sold and the tenants (or their descendants) divide the proceeds.

 

trivia: did you know that most of the land in Ayala are just long-term leases from the Ayala congolerate. they never sold any piece of land in there, meaning they will always own the whole area.

house and lot.no matter how small or simple it might be..as long as its mine

aside from mas tumataas ang value ng lupa habang tumatagal

no more association dues unlike in the condo..maybe meron village dues but maybe much cheaper

pansin ko din kasi kapag sa condo

walang pakialamanan ang mga magkakapitbahay.. kakaiba ang environment

iba pa rin yun mga lupa kang nilalakaran..

kesa puro bintana at pader lang ang nakikita mo

at yun ibang bldg sa palagid mo..parang nakakasakal

then kapag nagkasunog at lumindol sa bldg...

mangyari man yun sa bahay mo.. may lupa ka pa rin pwedeng patayuan ulit ng bahay..

mas mura yun kesa magpatayo ka ulit ng building diba? :blink:
