My mother-in-law gave me a copy of this listing of Tanay Rural Bank foreclosed properties which was listed in the September 2011 issue of District Dispatch, Centro East District, and I am sharing it here. Aside from foreclosed properties, Tanay Rural Bank also has repossessed cars and repossessed motorcyles for sale, just call them up directly.

According to the listing, the foreclosed properties can be purchased for as little as 10% downpayment, with the balance payable up to a maximum period of 15 years, at an interest rate of 15% per annum.

One thing in this list that caught my attention was it also include foreclosed properties that are still “under redemption*“.

*For those who don’t know, after a property has gone through a foreclosure auction sale, a former owner has the right to redeem the property for one year as per Act 3135.

The listing states further that “In case of non-consumation of sale due to adverse claim, buyer will be reimbursed the full amount with 12% interest per annum.”

Anyway, to get more details, please contact Tanay Rural Bank directly through the contact details on the listing.

The nice people from the Buena Mano Marketing group actually sent this to me through e-mail last July 19, 2011 but I only found this today in my inbox.

Yup, today is the last day to submit bids, and yet I am also posting this today. Before you say “Hey Jay, you should have posted this earlier…” please let me say this - I am posting this anyway because I am quite sure that not all of the repossessed cars on the list will get sold, and all you have to do is ask Buena Mano directly to confirm if the car you may be interested in is still available after the sealed bidding.

I am doing this as a public service, so I humbly ask for a little patience and understanding. I continue to post listings of repossessed cars for sale and car auction schedules simply because a lot of people keep asking for them. By the way, repossessed cars can also be referred to as foreclosed cars so they are still relevant content for foreclosurephilippines.com right?

Full disclosure: I am not an accredited broker for the Buena Mano Car Bidding Bonanza

PS. If you are not looking for repossessed cars, don’t worry, I will be posting the next batch of Buena Mano foreclosed properties in the following days.

PPS. It was an awesome experience to attend and be part of the Manila leg of the Money Summit and Wealth Expo 2011! I’ll be sharing some of my insights about the event soon. Please watch for it!
