An Underrated Investment Opportunity
Though the premise of shophouses is simple, another avenue homebuyers go down is to put it up for short term leasing. Since shophouses are ready-for-occupancy, investors can immediately put the property up for rent, both residential and commercial portions of it. Because of this, shophouses are more than a home and a store, but a long-term income generator. In addition to the proven value appreciation that Aboitiz Land properties are known for, shophouses in Ajoya are a good investment opportunity for interested investors.
