Many Filipino families start renting a space before moving into a more permanent address, thinking that this is the most cost-effective way. However, in many instances, investing in a home is actually more economical in the long run. Instead of having your hard-earned money going to rent, it is much better to invest in a real estate property, the value of which rises year after year as your family grows. More importantly, your home would be in your name.
“Moving to a home of your own is a big step for every family. A lot has to be considered from location to financing among others. This is why we, at RLC Residences, commit to providing home solutions that are dedicated to addressing the urgent and long-term needs of a modern Filipino family,” said RLC Residences Marketing Head Karen Cesario.
RLC Residences has rounded up a list of things to consider when making the shift from renting to moving to your own home:
Location. Most of the time, people rent because they want more affordable access to the city where offices, schools, malls, hospitals, and other essential establishments are located.
Amid the new normal, being able to walk or bike to the places you need to go to is now also a main consideration. Most of these qualities are available on properties situated in key locations such as RLC Residences’ The Trion Towers in Taguig, The Radiance Manila Bay in Pasay, and The Magnolia Residences in Quezon City.
Availability. Availability of the unit is crucial for current renters, which is also an advantage RFO units offer. Once paperwork and requirements are complete, you can move in immediately and settle into your own home.
Amenities. Amenities are one of the things that hook buyers into investing in a home. With people spending more time at home, it’s important to be able to use the gym, the pool, or function rooms when the need arises or at the homeowners’ most convenient time. With RFO units, these amenities are ready to use upon move-in.
Security. Beyond the actual unit, homeowners must also think about how the property is protected. More importantly, how your family is safe and secure within the walls of your home. RLC Residences’ RFO properties, for example, have CCTV cameras installed around the premises. Having a friendly and smiling face at the front desk, ready to be of assistance to homeowners, is also a big plus.Investment .Buying a home is probably the biggest purchase one can make in a lifetime. This is why it’s all the more important to find one that is worth your hard-earned money. What’s good with RFO properties is that you can literally check every inch of the unit before making the purchase, instead of basing a purchase off a model unit.
“Moving into a home you can finally call your own after all the hustle and hard work is a milestone like no other. We are truly grateful here at RLC Residences that we get to help in realizing that dream,” shared Cesario.
