RED2018 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Owning a condo unit is for those who can afford to shell out extra money. It would definitely be costly and impractical for those who don't have extra. But of course, having that extra and/or 'pretending' to be one has its perks: AmenitiesCondominium developments often provide access to certain desirable amenities that would not be practical or affordable for an individual house owner. Clubhouses, golf courses, swimming pools, tennis courts, fitness facilities and even the actual location such as a beach front property, malls, schools, etc. can be much more affordable when shared by a group of owners, rather than by an individual property owner. InvestmentSome buyers will be interested in purchasing a condominium unit as a type of investment, either because they anticipate the price of the unit will appreciate considerably over time or because they wish to place the unit in a rental program. Since condominium units tend to appreciate more slowly than single-family homes, many people who are interested in the unit as an investment will choose to capitalize on its rental potential rather than wait for the unit to go up in value. Beachfront condominiums, for example, may fetch many thousands of dollars per week during the summer vacation months; likewise, condominiums conveniently located at schools can bring in similar rental fees during the school months. If a unit has previously been on the rental program, the seller should be able to provide details regarding its annual rental income. MaintenanceOne of the biggest perks of condominium ownership is that the individual owners are not directly responsible for performing maintenance on the building, common areas or grounds. For many people, this is desirable because it frees up time for other pursuits. For others, it is a well-earned break following many years of home maintenance. In general, the monthly condominium fees cover all expenses related to the repair and maintenance of central services, parts of the building aside from the individual units, grounds and community facilities. But then again, ramdam mo lang ang mga perks na ito kung hindi apektado ang financial standing mo. Kaya yung nagpipilit magkaroon for status symbol or yabang, mahihirapang I-sustain and eventually fold up, and won't enjoy having one. Edited July 3, 2014 by artedpro Quote Link to comment
Nate Gray Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Long term, a house and lot is definitely a better investment. Quote Link to comment

Judge Mental Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 House and Lot is better Quote Link to comment
chessboxin Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 If I don't have kids then condominium unit definitely for as long as it's located in a peaceful place (Rockwell,Salcedo, Legazpi,BGC) It's nice to go home to a place with a lobby, a lounge and several staff at your service. I like the more intimate environment of the condominium din compared to the more solitary house and lot. Quote Link to comment

danielwtf Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 since i live my myself since i started studying in manila, i'd prefer a condo. my place, my rules. and it's a good investment for young professionals. but when i decide to settle down, i'd go with house and lot. (duh. who would not want to enjoy his/her own garden/backyard/pool/parking lot di ba?) Quote Link to comment

chessboxin Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 In all respects mas convenient naman talaga ang condominium living. Nasa prime property ka, may service staff ka pa at your disposal. If it were just me, I'd pick a unit at One Rockwell over a house at Ayala Alabang anytime if you remove the "investment" factor out of the equation. If you haven't lived in both a house and a condo, you won't realize the convenience of the latter. Mas maganda lang talaga tingnan na may sarili kang lupa, nasa village ka, may garage ka etc. Quote Link to comment
