Poor experience searching for a Philippines home from USA by Peter2022

So, I cannot help but notice my poor experience searching for a home in Philippines. Almost without exception real estates and residence development ignore my inquiry. They won't return my emails or request to connect for more information. ...

Hi Spence, It occurred to me I should have first tested that email. Because now I realized it doesn't work. So if you sent me a response via that temp password I didn't receive anything. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks, Peter NO WAIT - ... Read More

Hi Spence, Thanks for the insight on the cost break down. Yes, I checked. At first they gave us the total price without details. After we placed down payment they gave us the break down item by item which still added up to the same total cost. ... Read More

You might want to check out Luciana 176sqm at this Suntrust location http://www.suntrustsienahills.com/sienna-hills-pricelist . On this list there's no break down for interest. But we got it for around 7,500,000 on 230sqm lot. They said ... Read More

Yes, same deal in Oregon. Lots and lots of over 55+ ranch house developments and they are dirt cheap. But the age restriction doesn't work for my family. We're fully invested to relocating to Philippines in several years. I'm very ... Read More

I agree. We'll have to revise the silly kitchen layout. Remove the narrow, space robbing bar stool divider and relocate the fridge against the door to make space for a normal sized fridge instead of the tiny one illustrated. Actually, ... Read More

Well, a long, long time ago I was a real estate agent :-) However, with that said, there are no perfect solutions. Yes, the houses in the developments are smaller and it tends to get pricey as we move up to more comfortable space arrangement. My ... Read More

Best place to shop for safe foods? by Peter2022

Hello Everyone, In a few years I'm planning to relocate to Lipa City, Batangas. Wondering what and where the best place to shop for safe, clean foods? Thanks in advance, Peter

Peter2022

Steve, In the states we stick with organic and non-gmo labels. Although not fool proof but better than nothing. So if I can find locally grown foods or conscientiously made home foods I'll be good :-) Thanks, Peter Read More

Thanks for the input. Yes, I'm aware there are big differences between the Google map images and the actual physical development. But my wife's brother took several pictures in person which confirmed that the lot was on a dirt road ... Read More
