Real Estate In The Philippines

Vigan Colonial City in Philippines

The Philippines restrict foreign ownership to condos and in any given building foreigners can own only up to 40% of the units. Still, this country makes sense for both retirement and investment.

Real estate prices in some parts of it are unbelievably cheap. Focus on the more active areas where you would have an easier time reselling on the local market.
