House for Rent in M. Dela Cruz, Pasay City
Many people these days opt to just rent houses in M. Dela Cruz, Pasay City instead of building their own. The trying financial times make people think twice before investing in property. There are many options available should you choose to rent a house. Renting a house or building your own in M. Dela Cruz, it is still an investment with several things you should consider.
1. Neighborhood – do you and your family feel safe in the general location of the house? The house you want to rent in M. Dela Cruz, Pasay City may be safe and secure, but you don’t want to be kept prisoners inside the house.
2. How old is building- A new house for rent in M. Dela Cruz is rare. Usually rental homes are old and therefore have been occupied by other people. The newer the house the less problems you will have with plumbing, electricity, and the basic structure. A newer building will also have newer innovations that make it more efficient and safe for your family.
3. Size of the rooms- The kitchen, bedrooms, living room and bathrooms should all be in the size you and your family are comfortable with. Remember, this is a house for rent, not your own. You cannot make structural changes in the house without the owner’s permission. Many owners rent houses “as is”, meaning take it or leave it. If you opt to change any of the structure, if the owners let you, you may have to pay for it on your own.
4. Check appliances, plumbing and wiring – all appliances and furniture that come with the house should be in good working condition. Many problems are discovered by people who rent houses only after they move in. Have a trusted plumber and electrician check everything before you sign the contract. Any problems they find should be made known to the landlord and sorted by him before you and your family move in M. Dela Cruz, Pasay City.
5. Modifications – no house for rent will meet your idea of your dream home, but pick the one closest to it. Check to see if any of the things you want to change in the house will not require structural changes and massive expenses on your part.
6. History- you need to know the past experiences of people who have rented the house. An honest landlord will tell you if the house has ever been broken into, if yes, why? If it was a case of the house not being secure enough, have those lapses been seen to?
7. Compare- do not go for the first house you see. Check several houses you can find in M. Dela Cruz, Pasay City so you can make comparisons and may even be able to negotiate rates.
Where you live is very important. Many people live happily in a rented home. It is all a matter of making an informed decision before you sign the dotted line.

Cheap Condos for Rent or Sale in Libertad, Pasay City
Last year “condo” was a dirty word. This year prices are much lower and condos may be re-emerging as the darlings of residential real estate.
As with all real estate issues in Libertad, Pasay City, the chief concern is location, location, location. Before the condo bust, people were looking to live closer to their jobs and closer to the center of leisure time activities. Developers stepped in and built a slew of offerings in prime urban settings. Now these prime locations are available at much lower prices.
There are pockets of live-work-play condo developments all over the country. Metro Manila is a premier source of condominium gems in the Philippines. The Channelside district of downtown Pasay City shines brighter than most. Here’s why. It’s within walking distance of a thriving commercial center as well as many city entertainment outlets in Pasay City. It has many views of Tampa Bay. It’s a half hour from the Gulf Beaches. It has a year-round pleasant climate. And virtually all of the available units in the neighborhood are recent construction.
Whether you save money buying depends of course on the price you pay, availability of financing, your tax bracket, the cost of home owner association maintenance fees, taxes/insurance, how long you plan to live in Libertad, and other hard factors. You and your spreadsheet can quickly calculate these.
One advantage to a neighborhood like Libertad, Pasay City is that all the projects are new. Your risk of special assessments from the home owners association is low, but you should explore special assessment risk thoroughly in making your decision.
New construction in Pasay City offerings is also going to keep your remodeling costs down, but if you like to change your look every few years, factor in the costs of paint jobs.
Some people are genuine nesters. You derive comfort and strength from a “place of your own.” You take joy in giving it your special look and tweaking the look over the years. You will and should skew the outcome of the rent-or-buy decision to “buy.”
However, you should take care to have other factors in mind so that your decision is not overwhelmed by emotional considerations. These factors can be ruinous. Ask some questions.
- What is the number of foreclosures in the building?
- What can you find out about the management company?
- What do residents think?
Others of us are more peripatetic and are content to put their heads down in any peaceful place. These folks will skew the rent-or-buy decision to “rent.”
There are many condos for rent in Libertad, Pasay City. And there are also many condos for sale in Pasay City. In either case for the first time in a long time there is a legitimate rent-or-buy choice. Check out condominiums for rent or sale by owner below.
