2009

We say goodbye to 2009 and give thanks for a very memorable year. In 2009, we marked the first year anniversary of Foreclosure Philippines, although I never got around to creating my first anniversary post. Actually, October 31, 2009 was the day of our first anniversary. Nevertheless, I just want to mark that day as [...]

I attended the first day of Philippine Housing Fair yesterday and I’m glad I did. Aside from updated listings of acquired assets and foreclosed properties, I was also looking for any free seminars or talks about topics that can be of help to anyone who wants to get involved in real estate. For my purpose, [...]

Last December 10, 2009, CBRE conducted their Property “Pac-yawan” Bazaar,  and as what commonly happens to public auctions, quite a number of the acquired assets for sale remained unsold. I would like to share the post auction listing here, courtesy of Mark Del Rosario of CBRE. I was unable to attend because I simply had no [...]

For the very first time, I am featuring a listing of properties to be auctioned in a  foreclosure sale. During the past year (Yes, Foreclosure Philippines is already more than 1 year old), I have been featuring information and listings for the two most common types of foreclosures we can invest in here in the [...]

As mentioned in my previous post which contains the full text of Act No. 3135, I am posting here Act No. 4118 which amends the original Act 3135. However, after reading the contents of Act No. 4118, I am inclined to believe that the full text of Act 3135 which I shared in my previous [...]

During our lunch break at the office yesterday, I begged off from doing something which I have dreaded for the past 12 years in the corporate world, Christmas party presentations! You might be asking what the heck does this have to do with investing in foreclosures in the Philippines? Read on to find out.

If you want to learn more about investing in repossessed cars in the Philippines, please visit my first post about bank [...]

It has been quite a long while since I last posted a list of bank acquired assets for sale from Banco De Oro (BDO). I often ask for a copy of the BDO Asset Magazine whenever I get to visit any of BDO’s branches, but the friendly people from BDO often tell me that they [...]

I attended a seminar on how to prevent foreclosures more than a year ago and I often heard the speaker talk about Act No. 3135 which is An Act to Regulate the Sale of Property under Special Powers Inserted in or Annexed to Real Estate Mortgages. I can’t remember exactly who gave the seminar because [...]

I was cleaning out my archived emails in preparation for returning my company issued laptop when I stumbled upon this very interesting story in one of my emails in my sent items. I forwarded this same story to my friends way back in January 2006, a few months after I first read “Rich Dad Poor [...]

Post by Cherry Castillo In my research on foreclosed properties which I found on bank websites from my husband’s post: Ultimate List of Bank Websites, I became interested in a foreclosed property from Asiatrust Bank which was located at Pinaglabanan Ext., San Juan, priced at around P1.5M so I called up their Acquired Assets Group. [...]

This is just a reminder for interested parties to get ready for the 2009 Philippine Housing Fair which pushes through on December 27-29, 2009 at the SM Megamall Megatrade Halls 1 and 2. Originally scheduled on October 27-29, 2009, the 4th Philippine Housing fair was postponed, most probably due to the complications caused by Typhoon [...]
