How to Earn Money Using Your Condo

So, you bought a condo or are looking to buy a condo as an investment — and you want to make money out of it actively. Don’t worry, we’ve got you! Dormy has made it really easy to earn using your condominium.

Turning it into a rental

The easiest and surest way to earn money through your condominium is by turning it into a rental. Usually, rentals in Metro Manila go for about 12,000 pesos per month for studio rooms and up to 20,000 pesos for 1-bedroom units (note: this is just an estimate). You can already use this money to pay for your monthly installment on your condo unit, or for your ROI (return-of-investment).

But before you rent your unit out, we have listed factors that you should consider:

Furnishing

Do you want to rent out your condo unit as furnished, semi-furnished, or unfurnished? Let’s look at the pros and cons of each:

Furnished

• Pros: More potential tenants will be attracted to your unit and you can raise the monthly rental.
• Cons: You will have to shell out more money upfront and it will take longer before you can list your unit in the market.

Semi-furnished

• Pros: This is the sweet spot. You can easily pique the interest of renters because your place will have all their necessities while keeping the price within their budget range.
• Cons: You will still have to spend money on some furnishings.

Unfurnished

• Pros: You can instantly list your unit on the market without any waiting and spending.
• Cons: This can be a turn-off to renters, especially to those looking to share the room with roommates because they’ll have to spend more money on top of the rent just to move in.

Pricing

Setting a price can be confusing — you don’t want to rent at a loss but also don’t want to overcharge and drive away potential tenants. But don’t worry, you can consult us on this. We can check Dormy’s data on rentals to give you the best price point according to the market trends.

This is one of the perks of listing your rental on Dormy.

Terms & Conditions

Set terms and conditions that you’ll put into the contract. Decide if you’ll allow pets, roommates, and visitors. You also have to determine which party will be responsible for paying the water, electricity, wifi, and/or association dues, if you’ll ask for a deposit and advance; and if so, for how many months.
