Condo buying tips โฆ get 2 parking spaces with the condo. You can actually rent out the parking space or sell it. For investment, maybe 1 bd room unit might be better than a 3 bd room unit. For other costs - Check the association fee, they charge for the parking spaces and common area outside your unit so it might be as high as P10k monthly. Water charge might be higher since they charge you commercial rates over residential rates ~ 4k a month. Electricity ~ 10-15k a month. Property tax - yearly I pay about 25k to Taguig. Good luck in your condo hunt.

My day off, and a new episode! Day is going well :)

Wow welcome here in Philippines all of you guys โคโคโค

Making it Happen and Juicy Vlog are having a hard time selling their condos. Beware! If you really need to buy, there are lots of 5 to 10 year old condos that are half or more than half the price that new condos are selling for. Just have it renovated by a license architect or interior designer.
-
I'm a new subscriber and I've been binge watching all your vlogs. I like how you present your vlogs. It's like watching a reality tv show.
-
Nice and informative content and yes your viewers benefited with all the ideas you are presenting
-
Whoa ๐ณ youโre New Channel Grows Fast, I Remember your Other Channel, Was a long time before u hit a 100k โฆ Happy for u Guys ๐๐๐โ๏ธ๐ช๐๐๐

A simple tip in buying a condo unit is to always ask if theyโre offering parking spaces, with or separate from the unit itself.
-
Uptown BGC is in fact in BGC. I would be cautious on the north side of the building. Thatโs the side next to their next project โUptown Modernโ.
-
We appreciate your vlog. It allows other people who wish to buy a condo to view their possibilities and what they should consider. Have a good one.
-
Highly recommended close to future Subway. My condo overlooks Makati skyscrapers across Mitsukoshi Mall...super like it.No regret.
-
Oh wow I think Iโm interested to buy one and sell it later. I like what the realtor said.
-
wow megaworld one of the best developer.
-
I currently live in One Uptown. Best place, love the view and waking up witnessing the sunrise ๐ wish we could be neighbors soon! Also, One Uptown guards and receptionists are soooo nice!
-
BGC is a sure bet, but I doubt that the subway would really make a difference for the actual residents. In the Philippibes, those who can afford 20M+ homes don't usually take public transpo - a hard lesson I learned. In fact, most upscale residential development try to stay away from mass transit stations to keep the ordinary crowd away and to exude exclusivity. Also, by the time the subway is built, there will be a new Manila International Airport in Bulacan

omg 5000 more and you'll get to 100K!!! woohoo!

Another plus of the Uptown Mall area is, that the ISM International School Manila, as well as the BSM British School Manila and the Japanese School, are all just on the other side of the road. They all are top notch schools with great teachers. Even it is not so interesting for you guys, as you do homeschooling and are not at one place constantly - for other people who are there most of the year, and want their kids to have a more traditional school experience, this is an absolute plus, as they dont even have to worry how they get to school and back :) Maybe you guys could do a tour at the ISM? Even though your kids do homeschooling, because for a lot of viewers this could be interesting and make the step of moving to the Philippines easier, if they have kids.. (PS: Regarding other schools, depending on nationalit: Korean International School is near Venice Mall, also in the area. Only exception is the German/European International School, as it is in Paranque, for those who might wonder..)
