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.

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.

One of my mentors, bestselling author Trace Trajano, recently posted a story about Anna, who bought a property in a foreclosure auction in the US. Take note that some of the things in the story might not be applicable here in the Philippines. Nevertheless, there are lessons here that are applicable to real estate investors  no matter where our locations may be. Before that, here’s the story of Anna… Read the rest of this entry

Here’s a heads-up for both Quezon City taxpayers who might be delinquent in paying their real property taxes and for real estate investors who may want to help. I accidentally found this notice on the same issue of the Philippine Star where I got the complete listing of tax delinquent properties from the Province of Rizal which was recently auctioned in Antipolo City.

As 2008 comes to an end, first and foremost, I would like to say thank you to all of you my dear readers and visitors. I created this blog only recently, last October 31, 2008 to be exact, and I am still dumbfounded by the number of visitors of this blog.
