  • Traffic – Heavy traffic could eat up much of your time and could result in less productivity and more stress. Consider this when buying and renting your condominium.

Determine Its Reputation

When looking for your future condominium, make sure that the property developer has a solid reputation. If you are dealing with real estate agents, it would also be recommended to check if he or she is a licensed agent and do a background check if possible.

Explore Its Amenities

Are guests able to enjoy the facilities or require an additional charge? Do reservations have to be made?
