[Updated] 12,304 GSIS Foreclosed Properties Available via Lease With Option To Buy (2024)

March 4, 2024 – Here are the latest list of GSIS foreclosed properties, now under Lease With Option to Buy or LWOB. This is a different kind of “rent-to-own” scheme from the GSIS. Details below.

How can I buy a house from GSIS via LWOB?

To get a detailed explanation, I believe it would be better to refer to the general guidelines from the GSIS. See below:

General Guidelines for LWOB

In addition, here are all available downloads and forms (Guidelines, FAQ, Application Form, and Checklist of requirements) with regard to the LWOB. The links below are direct links to the files on the GSIS website.

How much is the rental rate?

I was wondering why the list of properties had no rental rates included, so I searched and found this in the General Guidelines:

“7. The minimum monthly rental fee shall be based on the comparative market figures and capitalization rate.”

Source: Item # 7 of General Guidelines

I could be wrong, but I believe they (GSIS) will determine the rental rate at the time of availment of the LWOB.

How much will be the selling price for the Option To Buy?

As per General Guidelines:

Upon approval of the OTB, the lessee shall pay the purchase price in manner provided in policy on disposition of IP-RUs,which is CMV of the property at the time of its approval or any offered amount received for same property, whichever is higher.

Source: Item # 27 a. paragraph 2 of General Guidelines

But what is CMV?

Current Market Value (CMV)–the value of the IP-RU, including the improvements built thereon, if any, determined on an annual basis by the Property Administration Department (PAD) based on recognized modes of real estate appraisal.

Source: GSIS POLICY AND PROCEDURAL GUIDELINES NO. 304-16

Based on the above, I believe the selling price will be based on the appraised value of the property at the time the tenant/buyer will avail his/her Option To Buy.

IP-RU refers to GSIS Investment Properties – Retail Units, which are the GSIS acquired assets and foreclosed properties for sale.

Is the Option To Buy for cash payments only?

According to Item 27 paragraph a. of the General Guidelines, GSIS members can avail via installment (non-GSIS members can only buy via cash). I have quoted this below for easy reference:

“During this period, and provided that the lessee has no outstanding unpaid rental, he may send GSIS a written proposal to buy the leased premises in installment (for GSIS members) or cash (GSIS and non-GSIS members).”

Source: Item # 27 a. paragraph 1. of the General Guidelines

Actually, this was a big turn-off for me because everyone knows that very few people can afford to pay in cash when buying properties.

Update: Lease With Option to Buy through installment up to 25 years?

A longer payment term of up to 25 years seems to be possible, based on a press release I found at the GSIS website. I’ll quote the relevant portion below:

“Ang installment sale naman ay available sa GSIS members na gustong bumili ng bahay sa ilalim ng programang Lease with Option to Buy o kaya sa public bidding. Ang installment ay maaaring bayaran hanggang 25 years. Kung condominium, ang term ay hanggang 20 years at kung bakanteng lote, 15 years to pay,”

~ GSIS President and General Manager Wick Veloso

Source: Press release – GSIS OFFERS HOUSING LOAN CONDONATION, INSTALLMENT SALE

This is definitely a welcome development! With installment terms of up to 25 years, this means that the monthly payments will definitely be more affordable and manageable!

However, I can’t find any reference to the installment option for LWOB in the latest guidelines/FAQ. So if you are going to avail the LWOB program, please make sure to ask about this.

Reminder: Avoid “Occupied” GSIS foreclosed properties

Keep in mind that a big number of GSIS foreclosed properties scheduled for bidding are “OCCUPIED”.

We highly recommend to avoid those occupied foreclosed properties.

The only exception would be for those who are the current occupants and would like to purchase the property, especially those under the LWOB program.

Note: The properties on the listings below are for sale on an “As is Where is” basis. To learn why we do not not recommend buying occupied properties, refer to the following article:

  1. Hi sir, how about lot po? I’m planning to rent muna this lot we saw near my parent’s house (for parking purposes). Then after a few months, we can offer to buy daw sabi ng GSIS agent I spoke with. The problem is, I don’t have any idea how much to offer sa rent. Please enlighten me. Thank you!

    • Hi April,

      Based on how I understood the guidelines, GSIS will be the one to determine the rental rate. If not, then I suggest you list down all the for rent properties nearby so you can establish the average and use it as a basis for your offer to GSIS. I hope this helps, good luck!

  2. Good day po! Alam nyo po ba kung pwedeng through loan ang pagbili ng GSIS property kung “acquired asset for lease with option to buy” yung bahay? At kung pareho lang ang ibig sabihin nun sa foreclosed properties? Thank you po in advance.

    • Good day Den! Sorry pero hindi ko mahanap yung may nakalagay na “acquired asset for lease with option to buy” sa mga listahan at guidelines ng GSIS. Saan mo siya nakita?

      Pare-pareho lang ang ibig sabihin ng acquired assets, foreclosed properties, ROPOA (Real and Other Properties Owned or Acquired), ROPA (Real and Other Properties Acquired), tsaka Bank Owned properties.

  7. Sir Jay, may question lang ako, medyo matagal na kasi ito year 2007 pa, i bought a foreclosed property in tierra de Sta. Maria, Bulacan, selling price is around 600k plus, nag down ako ng 57K plus that time and continuous ang monthly amortization for around 6 months until ipinasalo ko nalang sa isang buyer, we have an open deed of sale and she paid me around 7oK which covers pati mga nahulog ko, then eventually I went abroad. Now that I am back since 2017, i am with the government now and have this GSIS account. After I checked in Kiosk, it is showing there an my house loan amounting to 6oo plus and now 7ooK plus na with arrears. Ang question ko po ay ganito, if hindi na tinuloy nung tao ang paghulog nya, GSIS should foreclose it in 6 months? Bakit nasa akin pa din po ang burden to pay it? I am worried kasi baka habang naghuhulog ako ng insurance ko, eh ibawas doon in the long run. Please advise. Hope you can email me at josemigueldelarosa@gmail.com

    • Hi Jose, sorry ngayon ko lang nabalikan question mo. Minsan kasi natatagalan bago i-foreclose ang isang property, kaya siguro up to now eh hindi pa naforeclose yung property na pina-salo mo sa buyer mo.

      Habang hindi pa natutuloy ang foreclosure, maniningil pa rin and GSIS sayo, kasi sayo pa rin nakapangalan yung loan/property.

    • Hi Jenna, sabi sa guidelines, yung presenty occupants ay pwedeng tapatan ang winning bidder kung present at nag participate sa bidding. Eto yung nakalagay:

      “12. The existing tenant or occupant or his duly authorized representative through a valid Special Power of Attorney (SPA) has the right to match the offer of the declared highest bidder, provided:

      a. he/she is present during the bidding
      b. participated in actual bidding
      c. presently occupying the property subject of bidding supported by the following proofs of occupancy:

      c.1 Barangay certificate that he/she is occupying or residing in the subject property
      c.2. Any valid government identification document with his/her address similar to the address of the property he/.she is bidding.

      13. If the occupant will exercise his/her right to match the offer of the declared highest bidder, he/she need not secure another bank pre-qualification corresponding to the matched offer. Instead, he/she shall pay the equity in cash as stated in Notice of Approval of Sale (NOAS). The equity shall be computed as the difference between the Letter of Guarantee from the bank and the offered bid amount.”

  10. Hello I just would like to ask mas okay po ba na ipa foreclose na lang ang Bahay then bilhin na lang ulit kaysa bayadan ang sobrang laki na ng interest. Thanks po

    Reply
    • Naku, magiging blacklisted po kayo at matagal bago kayo ulit makakaloan dahil masisira po credit history niyo. Makipag negotiate pi muna kayo na i-waive nila ang interest, penalties, and surcharges. Good luck po.

      • Hi sir ask lang po sana ako kasi po sa ngayon binibigyan nalang po kami ng pag ibig until july 31 to settle ung unpaid monthly amort. Papaalisin ba kami agad ng pag ibig? I mean e foforeclose ba agad ung bahay namin? Kasi s ngayon di p namin masettle agad e. Kasi di p po kasya ung pera namin kasi I have to pay the full amount kasi.

        Your response is highly appreciated po. Thank you!

        Reply
        • Sorry to hear your situation Khing. Sa pagkakaalam ko po, hindi naman sila agad-agad nagpapaalis. Yun nga pong informal settlers hindi nila basta-basta pinapaalis. Pero suggestion ko po makipag ugnayan kayo sa kanila para kahit papaano ay magka extension, or ma waive yung penalty/interest. Gawa po kayo ng formal na sulat. May pagasa pa po na ma-save yung property niyo from foreclosure. Hindi ko lang po sure kung meron pa silang condonation program, pakitanong na lang din po.
