I hope that got your attention! As we start 2010, I’m sure a lot of you have a lot of New Year resolutions and plans.  There’s really nothing wrong with that. However, I can’t help but throw the same question to you as I did to myself, when I started to make plans for 2010. Actually, I am throwing the same question not just to real estate investors, but also to just about everyone who happens to read this. Let me try to explain below. Read the rest of this entry

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 we bid farewell to 2009 and I would like to take this opportunity to look back at 2009 for one last time. Read the rest of this entry

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, I’m glad I was able to attend but should you also attend? It really depends. Please continue reading to learn more. Read the rest of this entry

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.

For the very first time, I am featuring a listing of properties to be auctioned in a  foreclosure sale.

These are bank foreclosed properties or acquired assets and real property being sold through tax foreclosure auctions. Read the rest of this entry

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 post was already Act 3135 as amended by Act 4118.

Why am I posting these? For starters, I just want to be sure that we are all on the same page when it comes to extrajudicial foreclosure sales in the Philippines. Please continue reading to find out more… Read the rest of this entry

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!
