I live and work in the US, no children and married. I'm in my late 30's. My husband and I were thinking of financing a house and lot in iloilo, but in our case i think its impractical. Small condo unit i think is a good investment. We can have it rent out while we are away. By the time we are both retired, when we go home to iloilo for a looooong vacation we have a place to stay in the city. Having a bigger home is not practical for seniors especially with no children, small condos are easy to maintain.

@@mariatinazaldivar8054 In 2017 I lived in Iloilo. I hope to move permanently in 2020. There is enough to do in Iloilo and Smallville has everything you need for nightlife. I believe that one of the best things about Iloilo is the lack of establishments for the sex tourists. Keep these perverts out of iloilo and I believe it will stay the same, nice place as always.

I live in United States, but i never dream of living in a high rise condos cuz i just don't like the idea of being in the elevator everytime I have to leave my house. Plus if there's fire is not easy to scape. It's ok to visit but not to live. I remember when my husband was stationed in Yokosuka Japan, one of his Co worker with filipina wife living in the high rise military housing on Base they invited us to their house cuz I'm also filipina, they lived on 18 floors i thought that I'm going to pass out when I look down below. Plus the elevator ride it sames forever 😆 so i never went back. So now even though i live in Florida, I just don't like high rise. Thank You for sharing!👌

the feel of the rooms couldn't be more SM-y. arguably the best location in the city for probably a while but SM condo units give me a really basic feel. the fact that there are 5 of those 16-storey buildings doesn't help either; it's like a housing project, but who knows...could turn out nice. yeah. condos in iloilo city are selling like hotcakes (i've been monitoring since megaworld's one madison). cebu landmasters is building a few high-rises as well right in the downtown area (calle real), hopefully, that would be the one for me. btw, give the turnover date an allowance of 2 years. megaworld's palladium's TO date, if i'm not mistaken, was originally 2020 but they moved it to 2022. could be an isolated case, but still... SM builds fast though. i won't be surprised if they do reach their target date.

The price is 158,000 psm for that Flex 31 sqm unit. I figure the rental rate at that SM Condo in Iloilo will be 400 psm which is roughly a 2.5% net return for long term lease. You'll need to do AirBnB on that SM unit to get a decent return on investment.

Thanks James. This is one reason to go with a larger experienced developer. SM is huge and it they did not get built it would hurt their reputation considerably so I wouldn't worry too much about SM developments.

They made some mistakes and had some delays. 22 sq meters has been the new "normal" for about 8 years as they try to fit more people into the same space.
