What are RFO condo units and what value do they give investors?
Real estate as a hedge against inflation
In times of uncertainty and increasing inflation, real estate assets stand out as ideal investments. Real estate properties have intrinsic value, and their prices rise with, or sometimes even outpace, the inflation rate. Furthermore, real estate properties are good sources of passive income. This is especially true for condos located in growth centers and other key areas where development is inevitable. Making money work hard for those who invest has never been this easy.
According to Colliers’ 2022 outlook report, the Philippine property market is on a rebound this year despite the lingering pandemic. The increased buyer confidence is also expected to drive up demand for residential units that will spur the recovery of condo prices and rental fees.
Condos are good investments—but which ones give the most value?
There are tens of thousands of condo units available across the Philippines. However, those who aspire for immediate returns and benefits from their investments can rely on RFO units. Why? Because turnover time for RFO units is significantly faster than pre-selling units. With RFO units, there are fewer delays, and investors can check the property’s condition before buying. Lastly, in many cases, buying an RFO unit also means moving into an established community.
How to maximize the value of an RFO condo unit
Location is important in determining the value of an RFO condo unit. Projects located in highly urbanized areas are generally considered more valuable. If an RFO condo unit will be purchased as a primary home, buying from a trusted developer like Camella assures that the investment is well-built, near essential establishments, and with choice amenities. These characteristics also ensure the property’s long-term value appreciation. Not planning to live in the condo unit? No worries. Renting out the RFO unit can be a profitable source of passive income. For RFO units in high-volume tourist areas like Puerto Princesa, rent is the main profit driver. If properly managed, rent revenues can even cover monthly amortization—making RFOs an investment that pays for itself.
