Was talking with some friends last night, and we were talking about different way to finance the purchase of a house.

I seeking information as to how the following works if i/we don't buy with 100% cash payment:
Assume?
Buying from the developer?

Pro's and Con's of each of the above and how they work is what i am seeking information on.

However most developers and agents have a standard chart showing all the options and compares how the work so you can choose what works for you!

The Philippines has high interest rates - not like other developed countries...

Banks like BPI will finance homes. As Robal mentions, the interest rates are higher that in western countries, on the order of 8-10%, and the terms are shorter. Like 10 years as I recall.

Hi, can my girlfriend get loans if I put up the capital? Not sure the legality behind all of this.
