Hi! I'm Emmeline Garingalao. You may call me Emm. I am a licensed Real Estate Broker in the Philippines helping people find their dream home in the easiest way possible since 2007.
There's no doubt that the past two years made us hyper-focused on our finances—either finding new ways to generate more income, building a solid financial foundation, or investing in various branches for income growth. Today, we'll be focusing on why it's smart to take the plunge and start investing in real estate property now.
Various areas in our lives have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including our finances. And with all the uncertainties still floating in the air, informed buyers are taking advantage of the special promos, discounts, and flexibility of terms currently being offered by real estate developers. The ancient proverb, “Fortune favors the brave,” comes to mind.

Of all the possible investments that one can choose, real estate has to be one of the best there is. It allows you to earn while you sleep through rental income, it is a means of safeguarding the value of your money from the high inflation rates, and it is a great way to diversify one's portfolio. Above all, real estate values will rise in the long term so when real estate prices rise, your wealth expands along with it—that is if you have invested! Hence the rich gets richer.
Why You Should Invest in Philippine Real Estate During the Pandemic
Reason #1: It's a Solid Investment During an Uncertain Time
The current state of the economy calls for a more solid investment, where your money is safer and more stable in case the economy goes into a downturn. There is just no other investment out there as stable as Philippine real estate at this time. If you think you cannot handle the severe ups and downs of stocks or cryptocurrencies, real estate is your best bet.
Reason #2: There are Numerous Benefits for Buyers
Like I’ve mentioned above, during this pandemic, developers are offering really good deals to buyers. If you invest in a property now, you get to enjoy special promos, discounts, and flexible terms that are not normally being offered when there is no pandemic. On top of that, banks are also offering low interest rates—making it easier for you to secure your dream home without the big cash out.
Reason #3: It's a Great Way to Diversify Your Portfolio
Diversifying your portfolio is important to somehow cushion your exposure to risks—protecting you from the fluctuating market of different investment instruments. As the old saying goes, “Put your eggs in different baskets.” So, when one of the baskets is unsuccessful, you still have your other earning baskets. Diversifying portfolio not only applies during this pandemic though. It applies all the time.
Reason #4: It's a Sound Financial Move
Relying solely on a single source of income would make you one step away from poverty. Take away that one source of income, you'll end up with no roof over your head and no food on the table. Unfortunately, this scenario is very common in the Philippines during this pandemic. So many were laid off by their employers. Unemployed with no second source of income.
Investing in real estate would allow you to have multiple streams of income. This would not only protect you from unforeseen events like this pandemic, but would also allow you to retire early, and enjoy life to the fullest.
