    How'd you guys think of an apartment near the airport? By the way, our place is in the south, so I'm not talking about NAIA :D

    How do you guys evict someone who refuses or hasn't paid rent? may connection kayo sa local police para sila magpalayas? or do you go to a legal office or something?

    We don't have a rental business but my question is kinda similar. My Uncle is renting our house and we gave it at a very good price. Previously kasi my Lola was paying a caretaker to stay in the house (all utilities shouldered by Lola) so now at least profit kami instead of expense. Anyway, my Uncle renovated the place and he gave us the accounting, I almost fell off my seat. Na shock nga ko I thought he'd do that for free kasi the rent is so LOW. He said that expense can be deducted from the rent so he only pays half OR he pays no rent until the amount is covered

    50% of rent = 10 yrs for us to pay!
    100% of rent = 5 yrs

    My Uncle wants to buy the house kasi but we refused. I think he was hoping na he could deduct the renovation cost sa selling price

    Now I don't know if we'll go for the 5 yrs or 10 yrs?

    was there an agreement prior to the renovation, as to how accounts will be settled?

    if you are unable to agree on compensation,
    "fair market value of the rent" would be a good number.

    also,
    document the condition of the house. take lots of videos and/or pictures.

    None. We were shocked at the amount my Uncle spent on the renovation. Anyway, it's just the decision on whether we will deduct the cost 100% or 50% from the rent. I think my Uncle was banking on we'll sell it to him kasi

    Slow ROI yes indeed but my cousin has 200+ units. The usual problems he encounters are the "Professional" Apartment Peeps, increasing cost of contruction materials, etc.

    If you rent an apartment, it have this 3 months advance payment etc. scheme. So these kind of people used up all its advance payment and enjoyed a few months free while waiting for the apartment owner to evict them.

    according to my brother who works at the company which designed the columns, 15k/sq. m. yung the columns

    so that should give an idea of what kind of quality you can get for that price.

    to solve these "professionals" 1month - 2weeks pa lang before ng scheduled pag-alis nila dapat warningan mo na sila... and ilagay mo sa contract na dapat may buffer period na dapat vacate nila yun place 1 week before ending ng contract...

    what does PDC mean? ako din prefer ko one-year, basta merong contract para black and white.

    thanks for the advice. i'll keep that in mind. yung lot pala namin ay malapit sa local airport dun sa province namin. ang target market namin ay mga foreigners, pero kung merong mga family na maayos ang income, ok din
