Finally Got a CONDO in MANILA | Dream Come True at 25!

Hello! I'm Dave, The Kuripot Traveler. For this vlog, I'll share with you my condo journey. At 26, I was able to invest in a rent-to-own condo unit in Metro Manila. This is at GA Tower 2, located in the heart of Mandaluyong, EDSA & walking distance from Boni MRT Station. Get to know the total price of the unit and how much I paid for the downpayment.

[@user-wm2iy7gj2x]

perpetual po b itong condo? for life nyo po own? kasi usually 50 years lang.

[@amielsena3649]

The GA tower was built way back 2005 no wonder why its much cheaper now

[@br0df1x76]

very true... saka pugad ng mga baklaan yang condo na yan GAY TOWER.

[@iodsojaop11]

dami daw dyan ipis kaya mura hahah

[@CherChloeCotton]

Scary diyan pero ang ganda lang ng location. I stayed sa Light residences eh as in across lang.

[@abundant9872]

@@CherChloeCottonbakit po scary? super curious po

[@CherChloeCotton]

​@@abundant9872 medyo gloomy po yung facade ng condo. Nag goosebumps ako upon entering tapos mga 9am po yun, di na talaga bumalik. Baka dahil luma na po yung whole bldg. Super laki kasi ni GV tower, Buti naman nag renovate na mostly mga tenant diyan.

[@jamrellb]

Wow nakaka inspire! Congratulations. So happy for you!

[@jkvsteps]

Congrats Dave!!! So proud of you..nakakapagtravel na, nakakapagpundar pa ng property. I hope God blesses you more mhiee ❤

[@DaveGuino]

Awww salamat mhie!! While traveling is a self-investment, iba pa rin yung ganitong investment. Haha.

[@lorraineboww]

[@vie_1774]

[@DaveGuino]

Awwww thanks po

[@markpua2486]

in real estate buying. please do not rush. u dnt have to jump into getting one for the sake of owning one. the units in this tower are selling cheap for a reason. hope you have done enough research.

[@unknownunknown5244]

Tama. Kaya Congrats pero good luck na lang sa mga upcoming na sakit ng ulo. 😅

[@castlecritique]

Binangit ba ung price sa video? Mukhang hindi naman...Average sa area na yan nasa 5 mil eh. Madami naman subs at views ung channel niya.

[@markpua2486]

​@@castlecritique watch the video. yes, binanggit.

[@sonsdulatre4518]

[@DaveGuino]

Thank you, Pauline. Taray ng condo era. Haha. Nakapagmove in na me. Di ko lang mavlog kasi di naman as estetik ng iba. Haha. Saktong matitirhan lang. And yes sa Korea vlogs. Lapit na yan!

[@zestianloveskorea]

[@DaveGuino]

Congrats Dave🤗🤗 Surely a dream come true for you!!!

[@DaveGuino]

[@kirbyisjaye]

Congrats. Kaka inspire

[@shumaiprincess]

Hi Dave congratssss! Happy for you and keep being inspirational! u have my support 100% 💕 virtual 4 leaf clover for more good luck 🍀 hihi

[@DaveGuino]

Hello po!!! Accepting that leaf!! Hehe. Salamat po, 101%!

[@fatasscchica101]

I’m in my 30s, wala pa talaga akong sariling bahay. And this vlog is an eye-opener for me to think about investments and do something about it talaga wag lang puro sa isip lang. Thank you, Dave! This will serve as an inspiration for me. 💖

[@DaveGuino]

To be fair naman po, in this economy ang hirap talagang makapag-pundar. Naswerte lang ako dahil work from home & had some revenue from UA-cam so nakaipon kahit papaano. At di me magastos. Haha. But yes, if may opportunity to invest, grab talaga. Go for it po. Lakasan talaga ng loob minsan, parang booking lang ng flight ticket. Bahala na next jk 😂

[@imeldalustado400]

Congrats sa iyong new condo. Good deal talaga yang nakuha mo kasi yang GA Towers isa sa mga naunang naitayong condo sa area nagkaroon ng problem at nakuha ng new developer. Ganda ng renovation na ginawa at may 3 bedrooms pa. Good location pa. Happy for you!

[@DaveGuino]

Opo, ganda ng renovation. Mukhang bago talaga. Pero pinaka-panalo yung location. Ilang steps lang to MRT. Huhuhu. Maraming salamat po!

[@imeldalustado400]

@@DaveGuino yes yan ang big advantage mo kasi ang lapit sa MRT station. Central ang location ng condo mo. I'll look forward sa mga vlogs mo sa iyong new condo. God bless.

[@jops1004]

congrats dave! sobrang nagbunga ang pagiging kuripot hehe you earned it!!!

[@DaveGuino]

Salamat po. Haha. Sobrang totoo yung nagbunga. Yun talaga. May nahuhugot sa pagiging kuripot HAHA!

[@OliveHampton-ee6kd]

Congrats sobrang sipag nyo po i can see that, went to that condo before mag rent sana ko, buti nlng nasa ibang developer or iba na naghahandle sknya kc syaang ang ganda ng location kaso napabayaan, mukang much better na sya ngayon compared 2016 nun nagtingin ako.

[@DaveGuino]

Salamat po!!! Bigay ko rin talaga sa sarili ko kasipagan. Haha. Yes po, mas maganda na siya now. Not as superb as other newer condos, pero okay na rin. Basta't may nauuwian at okay yung location :)

[@aiel1740]

[@joanrachelpizarra5396]

Sir paconnect po sa auntie nyo. Thank you po

[@TheYearOfJerome]

hi dave, kumusta naman ang elevators? balita ko before laging sira.. i live nearby, sa kabilang side ng mrt. 😅

[@DaveGuino]

Hahaha hello, gumagana na po lahat. I think grabe improvement.

[@markuchiha7737]

Details nga hm yan

[@theramoswanderer]

Good day po,, cno po ang sales person to purchase a unit po dito sa GA tower thanks po

[@mariya3006]

Pangit po dyan at maliit space. Mag California Garden Square ka na lang if balak mo bumili condo. Malapit lang din Edsa Shaw station.

[@jops1004]

share tips on financial management pls 😅

[@DaveGuino]

Hahaha as mentioned, laking tulong lang naman talaga ng work from home. At di ako masyado lumalabas at nagbibibili ng di essential. Matipid din sa pagkain, keri ko kumain ng paksiw for 1 week. Ganon. HAHAHA. Pero okay naman ako.

[@patrickgarcia2672]

2.8M? Gosh thats a tiny house all those 3 bedrooms combined is a normal size 1 bedroom. You should have spent more time researching.

[@MR.A-FLECK123]

What about the location as the main factor why it cost it that much. If you visit the areas specially the industrialized, 2.8M is not much.

[@bfdee1603]

Lacks storage. No cabinets or closets. Is that how condos r in pinas?

[@DaveGuino]

Not sure with others, pero ganito sa nabili kong unit. And totally fine with it.

[@user-wm2iy7gj2x]

​@@DaveGuinokamusta naman po, may ipis po ba at nasisira ang elevator? kamusta naman po ang mga other neighbors, ok naman po ba? salamat po, interested po kasi ako magbuy, any information would be very helpful.

[@bcd4328]

Kumusta na yung elevator situation dito sa GA?

[@NorhasimGSarip]

Worse!!!

[@user-wm2iy7gj2x]

​@@NorhasimGSaripsabi po nila naginquire ako meron daw new fast elevators. may mga ipis daw po ba? interesred buyer po kasi ako, pero d ko sure if tutuloy ako.

[@rafaeleliz3289]

Alam ko may pending case yan building na yan

[@ivanbasas9429]

Hi dave. How much monthly amortization?

[@DaveGuino]

Hello! Shy ako idisclose haha pero depende yan kung ilang years to pay. I think sa current price, may as low as 20+ thousand yan. Cheaper vs others talaga. Hehe. :)

[@farmgirl768]

Bongga, may 2nd floor yung unit mo?

[@DaveGuino]

Yes meron po hehe :)

[@user-mn8sk3bu3y]

May you share your auntie's info so I can inquire for a unit too?

[@DaveGuino]

Hello! You can search for her Facebook: Rhen Merro and her contact number: 09178062114 :)
