    Although location makes a difference, home prices have gone through the roof all over the US as well. So did interest rates on loans. Jasper you’re absolutely correct on your assessment re ROI. People should learn about ROI if they wanna invest in real estate. Never ever buy out of emotions, be practical instead. Do the numbers. You’ll be glad you did.

    I found your video very interesting. The condo market has changed over the past two decades and is not as favorable as it once was. My wife and I purchased a 98.75-square-meter (1,065 square feet) two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo at Robinson's Manila back in 2003 for 6.4 million pesos. Our unit is a couple hundred feet above a mall. Similar units in Makati were almost double the price. We lived in our unit for two years and rented it out for 8+ years for 45,000 pesos a month. During those eight years, we had two long-term tenants. A wealthy Chinese family and middle-eastern businessman. 75%-80% of our housing loan was paid by these tenants. I agree with you. The condo market today is overpriced and not of the same quality as in previous years, when my wife and I purchased.

      But America is a suburbian nightmare. I agree with him that BGC is quite overpriced now but BGC's convenience from everything (from hoispital, malls, resturants etc) accessible by walking is nothing short of amazing. In BGC, you dont need a car. If BGC cost around ~180K usd, I would get it in a heartbeat than a 120K condo in US. Comparing american condo to BGC is apples and oranges. There are reason why its only 120K.

    You get it! I lived in BGC One Serandra East tower. Paid 88K a month or about 1600.00/month. It was a nice unit at 82 sq meters. Those units sell for about 30 million- or about 500K ( all rough numbers) I moved to Cebu, have a 190 square meter oceanfront villa gated/secure beautiful view for 70K/month or about 1300.00/month. These units sell for abot 25 million or about 450,000 USD. Now, I also own a rental home in USA. I have always owned my properties. I would be a complete IDIOT to purchase these units at the price they sell for. It makes NO sense. It would take over 30 years just to break even at best. I wont bore you with the numbers breakdown as pretty easy to see the overpriced sell vs rent ratio. I own a new house I bought in Texas for 300K I rent it for 2,400.00 a month. Paid cash. Now that makes sense--- Thanks for post, very accurate and sooooo true. DO NOT BUY HERE_ just rent.

    Good talk on the issues with buying a condo and renting it out for BGC/Makati Philippines and I agree with everything you mentioned. I'd also add another issue for foreigners owning condos is the "skin tax" associated with repairs & remodels. I'm sure the foreign owners are charged more for stuff like that. I also suspect the HOA fees that the owners have to pay rarely has an appropriate amount of money set aside in reserve for structure repairs & maintenance when needed and likely is just pocketed.

    • @JasperinthePhilippines
      @JasperinthePhilippines  Місяць тому +2

      Yeah, exactly anytime you’re doing anything even if you have your Filipina at the forefront when they see you, the price gets higher when me and my girl have a maintenance man come by if I’m there the price is obviously tripled. If we try to hail a trike in Buckeye, the prices obviously gonna be tripled. It’s unfortunate but all you have to do is say no and some people some trike drivers. Some construction guys are honest and nice, but as a general rule, you’re looked at as extremely wealthy so the quote is always going to be higher. If you’re paying somebody by the day, they will work very slowly, knowing that they’re making a very small amount amount of money for the day so they will make a job that should be three months take a year.

What specific things should I pay attention to when looking for a condo not necessarily in BGC or Makati unless the price is right. I would be glad to pay for consultation if you offer that sort of thing.

    • @JasperinthePhilippines
      @JasperinthePhilippines  Місяць тому +3

      Yeah, I suggest buying outside of Bgc and Mikati perhaps Eastwood ortigas or Quezon City. Pay attention to the wear and tear and the upkeep of the building and if it looks cheaply slapped together or like some thing that is being maintained properly and is well built. Pay attention to the association dues and you can certainly get much more square footage outside of Bgc and Makati for a much more comfortable place. Many of the areas bordering on the super expensive Bgc in Makati are only a five dollar Grab ride away from them. Also, you can always get food delivered from any of the good restaurants with the Grab app so if I was going to buy I would certainly do what you’re thinking about doing by possibly going outside of those areas.

    Very true. The Philippine vertical property market is dominated by large corporations that dictate the prices as they please. You can't rent out your property at 1% of the market price, not only in BGC and Makati but in the whole of the Philippines. We live in our condominium unit and we could not believe that owners here would rent out their unit for 0.5% or less of the market value or only half of the monthly amortization of the unit. It's ridiculous.

    However, for me, at least, that’s still not worth it. The freedom and flexibility of being liquid, mobile and unencumbered cannot be beat.
    (And yes, I’m saying that as a US homeowner, haha… but in a few years I’m launching and I know it will be far better to be liquid and free)

    Thanks for making this video as most UA-camrs just want to paint a rosy picture of condo purchases. I have looked at buying a condo in Manila in the past but was put off after doing research on the price plus any potential future returns or benefits. The BGC prices are just mad as you say. Another point is how would you sell in future and make the killing the selling agents suggest you could make? From my research I see these places on the market for a long time with no sale, so to sell you would need to drop the price and you would likely make a net loss. Also as new condo building are coming up for sale someone buying is more likely to go for a new unit with all the incentives that go with it rather than pay top dollar for an older unit. When selling these units the seller agents will not want to tell you about the other maintenance fees you will need to be paying plus electric / broadband likely costs as you will not have a choice of what provider you can use. Finally I have stayed in some of these units under AirBNB rental and the build quality is not that great. Compared with Bangkok, for example, Manila is not the place to invest in condo's that is for sure.

    It's no different in the states. Take Los Angeles for example...a 'cheap' two-bedroom condo in Northridge will run you $470K. With a $30K downpayment, your mortgage will cost you around $4,450/mo. Meanwhile if you look at two-bedroom rentals in the same area...you're looking at $2,000 - $3,300/mo...so you'd be losing $$$ the moment you sign your closing documents. In BGC...you're just losing less or hoping to break even at best.

    The greater fool theory, they are only buying them to resell in the future at a higher price and so far it has worked for most investors. A lot of condo units just sit empty waiting for the value to go up and someone else to buy it, they don't even try to rent it out.

    It's the same anywhere! The one with the money sets the market. Been happening forever and will keep happening! Why buy ANYTHING like property or any type of motor vehicle? Rent!!! In the event you want to leave for whatever reason then hit the road. I lived in Angeles in 2002 for a year renting a 2/2 apartment. No way would I buy anything of value where I'm considering rich with basically NO RIGHTS because I'm a foreigner. I wouldn't do it even if I was shitting hundred dollar bills! That's for people who let their wallet do the thinking instead of using their brain.

    I agree, something I have saying politely to others for a few years that owning these Condos are not a good investment. The Builders/Developers have done their homework and for them it's good business. For those buying in the higher price point areas of BGC or other upscale nicer areas with worthy space it just does not work. The same holds true for most stand alone homes way over priced with nothing to Comp with to justify the outrageous asking prices.

    I visited Bgc about a month ago because I was interested in purchasing a condo that I saw on fb. I was able to see the entire area and in my honest opinion, the city itself is ok and I was not impress with the food in the restaurants. The Japanese food and the green tea macha from Starbucks is nothing like the ones in the US. Even the food at TGIF where I ate most of the time. Anyway, to make my long story short, the place itself is ok (Irvine Spectrum is so much classier and bigger) but I would not live there. The buildings are so packed, the condo are so little and overpriced for the shitty hot and humid weather they have. I’m a Filipino myself and I’m just being honest. I count my blessings all the time that I get a chance to live in the NB area in CA.

    Assuming a $500 / mo profit / housing benefit. That $6k /year. With a price of $250k, that’s like a 2.4% ROI. That’s not good.
    Even if your interest rate is like 3% then your mortgage is like $1250k/ mo. It’s all the more a bad deal if interest rate is higher.
    Renting is the better option right now, let the owners take the hit. These prices are not sustainable.

      Yes, I think the Chinese are using it as a place to park their money. Some of these are Pogo condos. Some are just parking their money and letting it sit vacant.

The condos are also poorly constructed and the buildings are not well maintained. Not even taking into consideration that almost all condos there are infested with roaches 🪳
