I think it's a great idea that Jenny is working on getting her real estate license. As an American considering a part or full time home in the PH I'd feel comfortable & confident using Jenny as an agent. I will continue to watch your channel & wish you continued growth.

I also bought a unit at BGC. Purchase was transfer of right since I feel I was more “protected”. Every transaction was done at the head office of the developer. Doing secondary market can be scary but definitely it is where you get excellent deals. Also, I wouldn’t hesitate to give Jenny the SPA. Her honestly and sincerely are apparent.

Totally agree with you Jay better to buy than rent. Better to have a house that you can claim your own. Not have to worry about any contract whether to extend or find another place to rent/lease. You2 have your whole lives ahead of you. Sky’s the limit.

The problem with having an agent, they will sell the property according to their price, sometimes it's double the owner's price or even more depending on how they assess your properties. Of course you have to check the owner's authenticity, you might be dealing with fake owners. Bro, never have the ownership under your Filipina common-law wife's name. Because the moment she drops you, it's gonna be a long battle on your part. It could also cause you your dear life. I'm Filipino and I know a lot of stories like it here in my place b/w Filipina and foreigner couple. Filipinos sometimes turn greedy specially when financially embattled.

It would be nice if the Philippines has an Escrow (Licensed and Bonded) service to process everything just like in California. Anyway, you can hire a reputable legal firm to handle the negotiation, make the due diligence of checking documents, ownership, title, mortgage/iens/encumbrances... if everything is what is represented. This might cost a few hundred pesos but just add that to the cost of the Condo. Escrow service will also cost five figures in California.
@BGCDreams
Жыл бұрын
Agreed! It would add an additional layer of peace of mind for both buyer and seller. Wow, escrow services are quite pricey in the states... It's been many years since my last transaction, but wow, five figures sounds like a lot. I guess inflation isn't helping things... Cheers!

@BGCDreams
Жыл бұрын
I like the project and location but in terms of price, it's really hard to say since that's around the price range of what other developers are selling new construction units for. Actually, I think The Seasons is closer to 350-400k PHP and the new Alveo project will be around that range as well. So, relative to those two other projects, Uptown Arts compares very favorably in price. Cheers!

I have the same concern as you when I bought a piece of property from the secondary market thru a Real Estate Broker but if you are buying a property directly from a developer like new projects, I would say transactions are pretty much safe as long as youre dealing with a reputable company like Ayala, Megaworld, etc. and the Agent you're dealing with is affiliated with the company.

I know each investors have different strategies but im curious as to why not invest in the US instead? I know California is hard to find a deal but how about other states instead of the Philippines? Like for the cash you paid on the condo in BGC,you could have bought a few single family or multi family homes in the US by putting only 15% to SFH and 25% for MFH that cash flows and have the tenants pay the mortgage. Plus you can benefit a lot for depreciation and tax right off here in the US that lowers your taxable income. Or refinance them in future and get more cash flow which is a lot easier here in the US than in the Philippines.
@BGCDreams

Oh yes, of course investing in the states is an option as well if someone has access to that marketplace. For myself, I purchased several homes in California way back, like 10+ years ago and I still own them today. I locked in 30 years, fixed rate, low interest, and have been cash flowing them since Day 1 ❤ For BGC and the Philippines, I switched roles and purchased these units with the mindset of a home owner as opposed to investor. I only wear the "real estate investor" hat in California. Hope that helps explain things and my situation. Cheers! 🍻
