Looking for cheap condo or apartment in Makati, Pasay, or Mandaluyong.

Can I take the one you are in now off your hands?....i need a crash pad in that area. I'm living in north Luzon and come vthe quite often. That would save me big time in hotel fees.

Haha, well there's actually quite a lot of condos/apartments in the area I live in which is near City Hall in Barangay Poblacion.  Problem is....the condo building my wife and I live in is the ONLY one that allows pets or at least it seems to be.  But we can't move out until we find a new place to move to.  And yea, I had the same problem.  Visited Manila a lot and wished we had a place to stay.  This condo is OK if you do not give a damn about where you want to live.  It gives you a roof over your head, bathroom, sink, lighting, and an easy way out of the building cuz its on first floor, but the space is cramped up.  Like I said, my wife and I were rushing to find a place and now looking for a bigger space.

Back to the question at hand.... Can I take over the unit at that price. Obviously im OK with all that. As stated it is to be a crash pad in place of a hotel.

Hi tawatson15 ,
Are you looking for a furnished apartment or unfurnished?
My girlfriend and I live in a condo in San Lazaro near a SM Mall and the UST hospital and University of Santo Tomas.
If your interested in a unfurnished 24 s/m studio, I know they are asking 8,000 p.
But not sure about them allowing pets, but can ask for you if you want.

Just like everything else here offer a pet deposit non refundable... Money gets things done here...as long as the cats aren't roaming the building. There is no such things as no here when you learn to grease.
.I'm an expert at grease.

@sirrobcentral - What do you mean by "take over"?  Actually, my wife who is Filipino and is also a master of small-talking has never been successful in getting the managers at condos/apartments to be lenient about pets.  They always say "sorry po" and just smile or give a small laugh.  Only time we got passed the No Pets rule was in Dagupan where we accidentally became pet owners.  The security guard was trying to feed the cats roaming around in the parking lot and saw my excitement.  I asked if I could adopt one of the small cats and he said yes.  The landlady didn't see or hear about this until several weeks later and when she saw my cat in my unit, she was kinda stunned but allowed me to have the cat.  I'm guessing her and the security guard were related somehow....or she didn't want to talk to me about having a pet.  But anyways, that was just one scenario that occurred in Dagupan.

There's this notion that if you are a foreigner and you show the cha-ching, the landlady/landlord will allow you to break the rules a bit.  But I don't think this is true all the time and I think it is a bit steriotypical.  Some managers don't care about the money and really want to enforce the rules. 

@Dreal1 - wooohhh, San Lazaro?  Not a big fan of the area surrounding UST and that's a bit far from where we are.  Have to take a taxi to get to the UST area.

I truly feel for you. I'm a cat lover also. If they are going to be only in your unit then why announce their presence?

Because it raises a few eyebrows when you see a cat cage going into a room.  My cats also get stressed sometimes so if I try to cover them up, they will cry a bit.  50-75% of the time, they are inside the condo.  The rest of the time, they run around outside and have fresh air.  I trust that they will come back so I don't put a collar on them, which is recommended but eh....I trust my cats.  They ALWAYS come back 100% of the time.

I just recently connected with someone on facebook who surprisingly knew some condos in the area so I'll check them out.  If anybody has suggestions, feel free to post.

Condos are priced as Php 10k above. Now if you would to have more spacious one, you may consider an apartment instead. you're 10k will be much better to apartment than condo.

What is the difference between a Condo and an Apartment, in the Philippines?

A "Condo" is a separate living unit in a building.

An "Apartment" is a separate living unit in a building.

In the UK, we use the term "flat" for a separate living unit in a building.

in Australia the term for a separate living unit in a building is "Unit".

Near Makati City Hall theres a cheaper condo and along osmena highway where i live.

Po. . . . If I rent your condo can I post date the check 8 years?

Yes Bob 8 years ago, wonder how much the rent went up or still vacant?

Cheers, Steve.

@tawatson15 You can check out Lamudi's listings for condo for rent to get an idea of the available options in your budget range. You can access Lamudi's website from any internet browser, and I believe they also have an app.
