OFW Property Guides
Roughly 41% of Philippine remittances come from the United States alone, and the share of OFW households putting that money into a home nearly doubled in a single quarter. These guides are for that decision.
Buying a condo from abroad is a different task from buying one at home. You cannot walk the unit. You cannot queue at a Pag-IBIG branch. You are trusting documents, a representative and a developer you have mostly met over video call. Every guide in this section is written for that situation specifically.
