BGC Rent vs BGC Buy — Which Makes More Sense?
Renting in BGC makes sense for expats on 1–3 year assignments or those uncertain about long-term Manila plans. Buying makes sense if staying 5+ years or as an investment. At ₱65,000/month rent on a ₱12M unit, you're paying 6.5% of the purchase price annually — equivalent to what an investor earns. Buying with intent to rent out produces 7–9% yield.
