Some investment opportunities continue to be just as promising.
More so now that the Philippines is starting to see green shoots of recovery, investment prospects—such as those in real estate—are looking to be more encouraging and attractive. This is even further bolstered by forecasts of property consultancy firms such as Santos Knight Frank that some segments of the real estate industry will likely see a gradual recovery this year following a tumultuous 2020.
Although there are a number of asset classes you can choose from, an increasingly favored investment choice even prior to the pandemic would be the serviced apartments, which then catered mostly to business and leisure travelers who preferred the luxuries and amenities of a plushy hotel but also craved for the familiar creature comforts of home. It likewise appealed largely to the staycationers, who wanted a hotel accommodation but with the warmth of a home.
Today, while travel in general has yet to normalize amid the bans and border closures due to the pandemic, the potential of investing in existing serviced apartments remains uniquely attractive.
What draws many to serviced apartments is the fact that it can be a fairly simple, hassle-free investment that would be a significant addition to your property portfolio. For one, you will only have to acquire a fully furnished unit, which will then be managed and maintained for you by the property management company of the real estate developer.
Investing in serviced apartments would also be a sound, solid investment choice as it could offer an additional source of income for you. At the same time, a serviced apartment is a tangible asset whose value will likely appreciate over time. Effectively, this investment opportunity offers you a sense of stability, assurance and ease while providing a cost-effective way to earn passive income and to build real wealth over the long run.You can fully enjoy all the unique perks and privileges of such a solid investment choice with Rockwell Land’s first foray into the short term luxury homestay business.
