In buying real estate pre-selling units are often preferred because it can be more budget-friendly, but it does require foresight, planning, and waiting. On the other hand, choosing RFO properties might just prove to be the better option because buyers’ particular needs and preferences.
Here are some of the many reasons why RFOs might work better:
Available for inspection
With RFOs, what you see is what you can buy. The building materials, fittings, orientation, size, and even the view from the windows can easily be assessed versus what the developer promised in their sales and marketing materials. Since the property is already built, buyers can take a look at their potential purchase and determine customizations, improvements, or repairs that may be needed. This gives them leverage to prepare a budget and negotiate accordingly.
Shorter waiting period
Because the units are ready to be occupied, buyers do not need to wait for construction to finish, or worry if it will actually be finished. Investment risks are minimized with RFOs because buyers can already get a clearer idea of its current and fair value as it currently stands.
Established locations
Offices, commercial centers, public facilities, and other establishments may have already sprung up around the residence. As such, buyers can gauge if the unit is close enough to what matters to them today.
It’s tested by real people
With RFO units, there is no need to rely on publicity and advertising. Investors and homebuyers can personally easily learn about the property and the developer by asking around. A quick Google search can also show reviews and feedback that can reveal the developer’s reputation and relationship with real estate buyers.
There’s a built-in community
There should already be welcoming neighbors once the buyer moves in. Neighbors can be an added layer of comfort and security during a resident’s early days. They are also the best sources for recommendations on the best places for laundry, buying food, and other “local secrets”.
It can be maximized immediately
Purchasing RFOs means their value can be enjoyed immediately – as one’s own living space or as an asset to earn from. Basic utilities have already been installed and are ready for use, give or take some checking or updating. There are also public facilities that enable residents to maximize their time.
