I’m deciding between a 130 m² villa and a similarly priced warehouse in Manila. The villa appears simpler to maintain, while the warehouse may offer more control but also greater exposure to irregular repair and compliance costs.
My comparison already includes vacancy, insurance, energy use, tenant demand, resale liquidity and management workload. I’m also trying to establish whether either property has shared-building reserves or costs that could produce unexpected assessments. I’ve requested the full statements and supporting figures rather than relying on another verbal estimate.
What costs tend to emerge only after the first year for each property type? A practical checklist would be especially helpful, including which documents or inspection findings could materially change the choice.
