Kabayan, exclusive investing tip from us at SMDC - TEAM CEB.

Possible ba na makatipid at maka-wais ka by investing in a condo na walang VAT? Or walang Value Added Tax?

Let's talk about it.

In the Philippines, residential properties such as condos are subject to VAT if the total selling price of the unit is Php 3,199,200 and above. This is the VAT threshold for residential properties as set by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).

So anong kinalaman nito sa investing journey mo?

You can invest in a NON-VAT condo unit and take advantage of it.

But first, this is what a non-VAT condo is.

A non-VAT condo refers to a residential property that is not subject to value-added tax (VAT), which is means, makakatipid ka na kaagad ng 12% from the VAT exemption.

Imagine, if the condo is priced at P3,000,000. You automatically saved P360,000 because of that.

That's already money that you can use sa pagpapaganda ng condo mo.

P.S.
As of the moment, mabilis maubos ang mga Non-vat condo. Pinagaagawan kasi sila ng mga expert investors.

So if you'd like to know more, we might be able to find you one.

Are you considering buying a condo as an investment in the Philippines?
It's essential to understand all the factors involved to make the most informed choice possible.
Condominiums have long been popular among investors in the Philippines. They offer a combination of features that are not easily found in other property types, such as high-quality construction, location in prime areas, and amenities.
Another advantage of investing in a condo is that it can be rented out at a higher rate than apartments, giving investors the potential to generate significant rental income.
Whether for home purposes or investment purposes condominiums can be flexible enough to be a good decision.
Invest now with SMDC.

Imagine, padala ka nang padala sa Pinas para sa construction ng dream house mo, pero pag-uwi mo nang Pinas, di man lang natapos.

Yung bahay na madadatnan mo, either walang pinto, or walang bintana. Worst is minsan kahit bubong di naipagawa.

I have seen many OFWs make the mistake of starting a house construction project in their home country, only to leave it unfinished due to poor planning.

While it is understandable that we all want a house we can call our own when we retire, the lack of proper planning and ex*****on can lead to wasted resources and missed opportunities.

Kaya wag mong gawin tong investment mistake na ito, Kabayan.

One of the biggest mistakes OFWs make is underestimating the cost of construction.

Many tend to rely on estimates from friends and relatives or try to do it themselves without proper knowledge and skills. As a result, they often end up with incomplete structures or poor-quality finishes na madalas, kailangan pang ulitin ang pagawa.

Another common mistake is we rely on their family members or hired workers to handle the construction, without sufficient supervision. This often leads to delays, mistakes, and conflicts that can further increase the project's cost. Minsan pa nga, nagagastos pa ang pera.

"Eh Cris, ano naman gagawin ko, pangarap talaga ng pamilya ko ang sariling bahay."

Madami na akong nakausap na kabayan na ganyan din ang pangarap. That is why, sa team namin sa SMDC, we try to offer an alternative.

Investing in a pre-built property can save time, resources, and eliminate the risks associated with construction projects. We can also avoid conflicts sa family finances because the money you pay is paid directly sa developer - direct sa SMDC.

Makakaiwas ka na sa problema, pwede mo pa itong maging investment na merong potential for passive income.

Buying a condo or house and lot in the Philippines can provide OFWs with a ready-made and fully-furnished property that they can use immediately or rent out for passive income. Lalo nang kung di mo pa ito titirhan. Kung kailangan mo naman tirhan na, you are sure na trusted ang developer mo.

The good news is with the proper guidance, pwedeng pwede mo talagang matupad ang dream house mo.

Walang masama sa pangarap natin na bahay. Kakampi mo kami jan.

is here to help you avoid this common mistake kabayan. We are here to help.

"Eh baka kaya magaling sya kasi natural na talent nya ang magbenta."

Heard of this? Malamang narinig mo na yan when you doubt your abilities.

In life, madalas natin maging discouragement sa sarili natin yan.

The quote, "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard," is a powerful reminder that effort is what truly separates the winners from the losers.

Whether it's in our personal or professional lives, our success is ultimately determined by the amount of time, energy, and dedication we put in to achieving our goals.

So, if you ever find yourself feeling like you're not good enough or that your goals are out of reach, remember this quote.

Embrace the power of hard work and determination, and focus on putting in the effort needed to achieve your dreams.

Sa tagalog, sabi nga ng mga lolo natin, "Walang matigas na tinapay, sa mainit na kape."

Keep the fire burning.
Don't be discouraged.
Hard work will eventually beat talent.

Investing in real estate is one of the most popular ways to grow one's wealth in the Philippines.

In particular, the market value of condominiums has been appreciating steadily in recent years. One specific example of this trend can be seen in the SM Development Corporation (SMDC) projects.

Pero alam ko nasa isip mo kabayan. "Cris takot pa kasi ako jan kasi di ko naman sure paano kikita jan.

You are not alone, most of our first time buyers in Team CEB also share the same fear sa unang SMDC unit nila.

So let talk about the passive way of growing your wealth in condo-investing.

Pag-usapan natin ang Market Value Appreciation.

Market value appreciation refers to the increase in the value of a property over time. It is an important factor to consider when investing in real estate because it can significantly affect the return on investment.

In simple terms, when the market value of a property appreciates, it means that the property has become more valuable over time, and its selling price has increased.

Ibig sabihin, over time, kumikita ka kasi lumalaki ang value ng property.

For instance, data from real estate analytics firm, Colliers International, reveals that the average price per square meter of SMDC condos in Makati City increased by 31.6% from 2016 to 2020.

A similar trend was observed in other areas such as Ortigas Center, where the average price per square meter increased by 40.8% over the same period.

The appreciation of market value in real estate is influenced by various factors such as supply and demand, economic growth, and inflation.

In the Philippines, the demand for condominiums has been driven by the growing urbanization in the country, resulting in a shortage of land and an increasing population density in cities. You can check our previous post related to this at sigurado you will appreciate it.

Moreover, the amenities and conveniences that come with living in a condominium have made it an attractive choice for many Filipinos, further driving the demand and resulting in market value appreciation.

Investing in SMDC projects can be a wise decision for OFWs looking to build their wealth.

The steady appreciation of market values in these projects, coupled with their strategic locations and world-class amenities, make them a lucrative investment option.

With the right guidance and information, OFWs can make an informed decision and achieve their financial goals through real estate investment.

That is our dream in Team CEB, for OFWs to become Overseas Filipino Investors.

Kung may questions ka Kabayan about inveting in SMDC, don't hesitate to ask. We are ready to answer your questions.

Sabi nila, "Kung san may SM, dun ka mag-invest. Kasi sigurado tataas ang presyo ng investment don."

Have you ever heard of that advise? They are not wrong. Dati kapag may mall na itinatayo, people would always expect more investments to be developed around it's area.

So let's talk about TOWNSHIPS.

As the real estate market in the Philippines continues to grow, developers are now focusing on creating townships as a way to offer a comprehensive and holistic lifestyle to residents.

These townships offer everything from residential units to commercial spaces, retail outlets, and even recreational facilities, all within a self-contained community.

Anong ibig sabihin no'n?

Before, people invest in condos. In house and lots.

Now, there has been a very big shift on how developers offer their projects. Developers now create townships and not just single stand alone projects.

Let's take Mall of Asia area for example..

Did you know that the SM Mall of Asia (MOA) area, developed by SM Development Corporation (SMDC), is now one of the most sought-after investment destinations for OFWs and business people in the Philippines?

Since its inception, the MOA area has undergone significant development and growth, transforming into a bustling and dynamic city.

Today, it features several world-class SMDC developments, including residential towers, a hotel, a convention center, and numerous retail and dining options.

It is also home to several SMDC condos.

SMDC's developments in the MOA area, such as Shore Residences, Sea Residences, and Sail Residences, have consistently delivered high rental yields, making them a great investment opportunity for those looking to generate passive income.

And because of the massive developement in the area, sobrang ganda ng effect nito for condo investors.

For instance, in 2010, the average selling price of a unit in SMDC's Sea Residences was around PHP 80,000 per square meter.

Fast forward to 2020, and the average selling price for a unit in the same development had increased to PHP 180,000 per square meter, representing an appreciation of over 125% over a decade.

In conclusion, the rise of townships in the Philippines is a trend that has greatly benefited investors and residents alike.

SMDC's townships, in particular, offer a comprehensive and convenient lifestyle to residents while promoting sustainability and accessibility.

That is the main reason why you should choose a developer that can make things happen. A developer that can turn a piece of land into a city that thrives.

That is why, you need to invest with SMDC.
