How to Make Money with Junior 1-Bedroom Units in Firenze Residences, Iloilo Business Park
Small but mighty: The smart investor’s guide to rental income success in Iloilo City
If you’re looking for a smart, accessible, and highly profitable real estate investment in Iloilo City, look no further than the Junior 1-Bedroom units at Firenze Residences, located in the heart of Megaworld’s Iloilo Business Park.
While luxury penthouses and larger suites often grab headlines, the truth is: smaller units like Junior 1-Bedrooms offer some of the best rental yields in the market today—especially in high-demand areas like Iloilo Business Park.
Let’s break down why this is one of the most underrated yet income-generating strategies for property investors in Iloilo.
🔑 What is a Junior 1-Bedroom Unit?
It’s a compact but fully functional condo—bigger than a studio, with a separate sleeping area, kitchen, and living space—usually ranging from 30–37 sqm. It appeals to solo professionals, couples, balikbayans, or even digital nomads who want privacy, functionality, and modern design—without paying for excess space.
💰 The Numbers: Rental Income Potential
According to recent data from Airbnb, Booking.com, and Iloilo-based property managers:
-
Junior 1BR Units in Iloilo Business Park rent for ₱2,200–₱3,500 per night depending on furnishings, design, and timing.
-
That’s ₱66,000 to ₱105,000 monthly gross income at 100% occupancy.
-
The average monthly occupancy rate in peak seasons (Oct–Jan) hits 90% or more in Iloilo Business Park, especially during festivals, holidays, and homecomings.
-
Even in regular months, occupancy hovers around 70%, as the area is home to BPO offices, corporate headquarters, luxury malls, and convention centers.
Let’s be conservative:
Scenario | Occupancy Rate | Nightly Rate | Monthly Income |
---|---|---|---|
Peak Season | 85% (26 days) | ₱3,000 | ₱78,000 |
Regular Season | 60% (18 days) | ₱2,500 | ₱45,000 |
Yearly Average Income | – | – | ₱50,000/month* |
*Based on a blended occupancy across 12 months.
Now compare that to your potential monthly amortization of ₱18,000 to ₱22,000 (based on typical bank loans for a ₱4M unit at 15% down, 15-year term)—your passive income could reach ₱20,000+ monthly, even after expenses.
