The Art of Guessing: A Manila Rental Market Mishap
Do-Nothing Dave decided he’d “wing it” for his presentation on the Manila Rental Market Update, figuring he’d just tell people rent was “somewhere between affordable and ridiculous.” He showed up with no notes, no research, and only a vague memory that prices in Manila had been “going up or down, probably.” When asked about rental trends, he scratched his head and guessed, “Everyone’s, uh, moving to the beach?” It turned out the real trend was rising city rents, and his clients were ready to sign leases… in the exact spots Dave hadn’t mentioned. Lesson learned: in real estate, guessing is for game shows, not market reports.
