House or Condo is a Wise Investment – Owner’s POV

Hi, I am a proud owner of a condo unit. I bought my first condo unit last Y2012 from SMDC – Green Residences. It’s the condo beside DLSU-Manila’s Andrew Bldg. I saw it as a potential renting space for DLSU students or anyone that needs a place to stay along the University belt. Back then, it was pre-selling which is why I locked it for a total contract price of 2.7M PHP (57, 400 USD). Now (Y2016), as it reaches its turnover date, the same floor size (sqm) as mine but located at a different floor is now being sold at 3.5M PHP (74,400 USD).
