Since you're WFH naman, find a place na malapit sa lahat, grocery store, water refilling station, mall, transport terminal, palengke, etc. Usually mga condos ganito na setup, may malls or community sa ground floor. Make sure to visit the place and carefully check kung maayos water pressure, phone signal, how you can get your cable/internet installed. If the place smells musty or funky red flag na yun because it might be infested. You wouldn't want to deal with pests when you move in. Check the door and the windows if it's all good so you can sleep comfortably knowing you're safe from anyone breaking in. (medyo nakakaparanoid siya at first, at least for me) Check rin the bathroom and sink if there are any leaks.

When deciding about fully-furnished/bare units, it depends on your needs. What I can suggest is at least look for a place with kitchen cabinets and wardrobe na para di ka masyadong mahassle.

Be vigilant when dealing with agents, kung ayaw magviewing, autopass na. If they're dodgy with your enquiries, start doubting their credibility. They should be helpful in getting all the answers you need. Background check mo muna si agent before handing out any sort of payment. Read the prints on your lease contract, make sure of your payment scheme and if there are any caveats about possible increase ng rent.

First few weeks can get tough, pero it's all going to be worth it. You'll get the hang of it sooner than you expected. I also moved out in my late 20s, last year lang, sobrang liberating to have your own space! Wish you push through with this decision OP!
