While any investment carries some risk, the consensus among property experts is that the robust Philippine economy, a large supply of condominium property, and growing demand for rental housing makes a condo investment an attractive prospect.

By investing smartly in certain condominium projects in the Philippines investors are able to generate 80% to 85% annualized Internal rate of return (IRR) . It's an opportunity created by the Philippines' booming economy, and one that uses a unique, staggered downpayment model.

Most off-the-plan contracts include a clause allowing the buyer a walk-through of the property on completion before final settlement. This provides an opportunity to identify any defects or spot differences or shortcomings in contracted inclusions.

In a rising market, it’s odds-on the value will have lifted between that happy day of perusing the plans, examining the model of the building and walking through a glamorous display suite, and settlement day.

The type of property, location, suburb and price point that is right for you will depend on your strategy. It’s worth thinking broadly about what you aim to achieve by investing, whether it’s long-term wealth creation, a passive income, a retirement strategy, or a combination of these.

Shopping has never been easier with the rise of the internet. Consumers are now able to buy almost anything they want, anytime they want, through the internet. May it be clothing, food, or even home furniture, all of them are available online and deliverable right to your doorstep. Many thought the real estate industry would never adapt to this online trend, but the rise of sophisticated technology made the concept of buying your home online not so farfetched. However, like any online transaction, you should always remember to be cautious and to approach each purchase with care.

We understand that the thing holding most people back from being successful in property is that first step. Most people never make money by investing in property because they never begin investing in property. That is why it is our goal to help you buy your first positive cash flow investment property.

Investment properties differ from your home because they make financial sense. Investors who treat their investing like a business don’t get emotional like home buyers often do, instead, they buy properties in strategic locations and at the right price. The properties themselves compliment their financial goals, not only their lifestyle ambitions. This means investment properties can create a passive income and meaningful capital growth, something which a personal home can never achieve.

The Philippines is still very much an attractive real estate destination. Its economy remains strong with a GDP of 6.8 percent forecasted for 2018 and 6.9 percent for 2019. This stable growth makes investing in the country a solid option not only for local residents but overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) as well. Vacancies in Metro Manila were reportedly on a decline for the first quarter of 2018. At a vacancy rate of 12.4 percent, it appears that residential condominiums can be a good source of lease income. This is an important detail to know for OFWs who are contemplating investing in real estate.
