Larry Gamboa, bestselling author of the book “Think Rich Pinoy“, is someone who I consider to be a great mentor and inspiration. I remember it was already more than  a year after I read the book “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki when I began to feel that the real estate investing concepts described by Robert Kiyosaki were hard to apply in the Philippine setting.

I recently answered an e-mailed question from a reader of Foreclosure Philippines who was also an attendee of the Think Rich Pinoy seminar held last November 21, 2009, where I was a guest speaker. Actually, our featured reader sent her e-mail last November 25, 2009, a few days after the Think Rich Pinoy seminar, but I was only able to answer her e-mail a few days ago… me bad!

Anyway, I noticed that I often receive very similar questions not only from other readers but also from people I meet who find out that I invest in foreclosed properties which is why I believe that it would be a good idea to feature it here, please continue reading below.

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

Robert Kiyosaki, bestselling author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad” often said that “Excuses are the words coming from the loser in you.”. I remember hearing this from one of his audio books some time ago but this has been running through my head often because there have been a lot moments lately where I notice I am making excuses when I am unable to do things which I know are essential in order for me to realize my goal of getting out of the rat race and achieve financial freedom.
