CAR or CONDO UNIT?

[109]

Thank you. Ang sarap pakingan ng "indulge! enjoy life.. buy the car of your dreams"

OO nga, kelan pa ako makakabili ng PORSCHE? pag Lolo na ako? Parang D.O.M ng naka SL benz? or mukha na akong nagpipilit pag matanda na ako and nakikipag-karera sa BRC? Kalimutan ko na nga yung condo.

meron nga ako kapitbahay mayaman, wala inisip kundi negosyo, return of investments, earnings, dividends, hindi binigyan ng pagkakataon ang sarili at kanyang pamilya na makapag-travel abroad, biglang nagkasakit CA, hayun hindi man lang natikman pawisan sa walking-tour sa alcatraz, hindi niya nalaman kung gano kasarap ang corndog sa disneyworld, hindi nya nalaman na mas okay pala ang Jolibee kesa sa mga spaghetti sa italy :bwahaha:

i think condo unit kasi tumataas ata ang value niyan unlike ang car naman bumababa...ok naman investment lalo na kung gusto mo na maging independent..

[Bogeyman]

Maganda naman mag-invest sa real estate, and it would certainly be prudent to prioritize a roof over your head (unless you don't mind sleeping in the car). But personally I would think twice before acquiring a condo unit of any kind. It's only as good as the building it's on, which is usually what, 30 to 40 years maximum? And you won't even own the lot it's standing on, unlike a real house and lot.

Ewan ko lang ha, but I've seen cars that can last much longer than that, given proper care. ;)

mas maraming nagagawa sa condo unit IMO. :D

Thank you. You are correct. To set an extreme example:

I know someone who is very rich and very hardworking. He has a business in Quiapo and he also lives here sa second floor of the building. He did not even own a real house. Never owned a real car in his life. Mga delivery vans lang ang sinasakyan. But he invested in lots around Manila worth millions. He died early.

To cut the story short, He never enjoyed his money. He adopted a daughter before he died and Ngayon, the daughter married a street smart guy. nakatira na yung adopted sa Valle Verde 6, with cars BMW, Expe, Patrol. Super yaman ngayon without any effort.

I think the moral of the story is to spend the money appropriately. Dapat may balance. Save a little for yourself for your little pleasures. beer, women and cars.

a condo is an investment, while a car is a liability. kaya condo or any other property over a car.

[ts1n1ta]

get both.
ahehehehe
some help i am.

3.5M ???

edl100, yung .5 ibili mo muna ng AMG Bodykit,Mags & Exhaust para sa 210 mo..hehehe. tsaka mo na lang pag-isipan yung natirang 3M..

[quiksie]

may mga kilala ako mga chinese ang gaganda ng kotse pero sa appartments lang nakatira.

Try to invest on a house and lot kesa sa condo. Condo units depreciates faster than a house and lot. Pero kung bachelor ka eh mag condo unit ka muna.

Kung naghahanap kayo ng lots or house pm me hehe may advertising pa

Correction lang guys. Most condo units DEPRECIATE in value nowadays. Hindi na kagaya nung 80's and 90's na pataas ang real estate. What appreciates now ay yung mga lupa, and in some cases nagdedepreciate pa nga.

Hi hens,
Oo nga. ganda ng body kit for the Benz. When I saw your Brabus Benz, I was inspired. Tulungan mo akong gumastos ng P500,000 (joke only)

[kimpOy]

3.5M siyempre condo sa eastwood...
pero mukhang kulang

Land is still safer, though... as even though some may depreciate initially, they'll at least hold their value in the long run... Cavite and Laguna lands are good bets, as long as they're near areas of development... if they're in an area that is already being developed, you'll be hit with too much of a premium to make it worthwhile.

Bilhin nyo nalang ang lupa ko... sige na... tambakan nga ng basura, at overcrowded ang lugar, pero oks lang yan...

[squala]

How about a mango orchard in Pangasinan, who's interested?

[ts1n1ta]

ehem *see signature* ehem
:hihihi:

[ranod55]

Condo na siyempre,ang car maka-carnap,samantalang ang condo eh walang condo-nap,he,he,he...

[Bry]

Of course. Land is always the safest bet.

Kaso lang, most people who buy a 3.5M car have houses/lands/condos/buildings already. Advise ko lang, if you don't have at least one of those, don't get a car that's too expensive.

[odell]

i'd get a condo at eastwood if im single :D
sarap after partying all night. hehehe

pero pag may family na i think ill just keep it or maybe do business with it..

kung ok pa naman car ko.. and wala naman problema hinde ko na papalitan

[Bry]

That's actually a good alternative. Pang-business na lang muna. Then if you work hard and get lucky, you could probably get both.

[oldblue]

again, if you have 3.5M and a 2nd hand car

mag-down ka sa bagong tsikot
mag-down ka sa condo na rfo na
bilhan mo ng basic furnitures/appliances yun condo mo thru your credit card thru installment
pa-advertise ka sa dyaryo, for rent for expat yun condo mo. per day or per mo.

may bagong tsikot ka na,
may income generating asset ka pa like the condo for expat for rent hehehe
