Manila is Saturation Point. Look East.

If you are buying a condo in Makati or BGC today, your rental yield (ROI) is likely hovering around 3-4%. The entry price is too high to make cash flow sense.

Smart money is moving to Rizal. Specifically: Antipolo, Cainta, and Taytay.

The “Hybrid” Work Effect

Post-pandemic, workers don’t need to be in the office 5 days a week. They are trading the shoebox condo for a 3-bedroom house in Antipolo with a garden.

• Demand is up: Families are renting homes in Rizal for PHP 25k-35k/month.

Supply is cheap: You can pick up foreclosed townhouses in Rizal auctions for 2.5M – 3.5M.

The Math (Cash Flow Positive)

Let’s run the numbers on a typical Auction Asset in Antipolo:

• Acquisition Cost: PHP 3,000,000
• Down Payment (20%): PHP 600,000
• Monthly Amortization (10 Years @ 12%): ~PHP 34,000
• Potential Rent: PHP 30,000 – 35,000

You are breaking even or cash-flow positive immediately, while holding an asset that is appreciating as the MRT-4 line extends eastward.

Don’t Wait for the Train

Once the new transport infrastructure is finished, property values in Rizal will spike. The time to buy the “As-Is” asset is now.
