No Toilets. No Termites. Just Cash Flow.
Everyone wants to be a landlord until the tenant calls at 2 AM because the toilet is broken. If you want Real Estate ROI without the headache, look at the most ignored item in the auction catalog: Parking Slots.
H2: The Supply/Demand Gap
Metro Manila has a massive deficit of parking. Condo developers often sell units without parking. Years later, those unit owners are desperate. Banks foreclose on parking slots separately when owners default.
The Numbers
- Auction Price: ~PHP 600k – 800k (Makati/Mandaluyong)
- Monthly Rent: PHP 5k – 8k
- Maintenance: Zero. (Maybe sweeping dust once a year?)
The Micro-Monopoly
You can buy a parking slot for the price of a car, and it will appreciate in value faster than the car. It’s the perfect entry-level bid.
