@@Bob-wm5pz any foreigner can own buildings and houses and vehicles. The land the building or house is on only a Filipino can own. But as a foreigner you can get a 25 year lease on the land and either build a house or buy the house sitting on the land. I’m very familiar with laws here especially when it comes to permits houses and land. You are the one who is naive. Actually you don’t even have to be married to a Filipino to buy a house or build one. Just secure that lease on land first.

I would turn the restaurant into rental rooms for sure. Much easier to make money, and zero overhead except utilities.

[@llothar68]

What is harder, finding people who want to rent a room or who got out into a restaurant? This is the philippines, there is almost no chance to have locals eating out in rural areas and who want to visit Leyte. This is a very hard business to ever break even in this location. I guess thats what he found out the hard way.

[@sidki8TT25]

You know, a place like this many foreigners out there would buy it in a heartbeat and not just because of the property. He just need to market it in America, or online to foreigners, and sell them the Filipino dream with a beautiful Filipina and stuff. There are tons of retirees with a LOT of money to burn waiting for this opportunity.

[@MichaelBuck]

I agree, its a custom home to HIS and his wife's specifications and desires. I dont see any comparable in the area, so how do you put a price on a one of a kind custom home? I dont see Filipinos rushing to buy this. It would be a rich ex-pat that maybe would take it as a turnkey operation. But its very hard to justify 340K on a home in the Philippines when IF I had that kind of money I can build my own custom home even better than his. SO no motivation for me to buy this home at this price point. And what if I want the home, a 2 bedroom only, but DONT want the Restaurant? Can I buy the house separately? Or can I sell the restaurant? But then again, what Filipino has the money to buy a restaurant? This home by itself seems more like it should be priced at around $150K for a 2 bedroom only, at least that's what I see on average for most 2 bedrooms in the Philippines these days. Again, anyone with money knows they can build their own custom home just like this guy did, so the motivation to buy this custom home is low.

This guy's a bit disingenuous, and you could probably get it under 11m. I just looked online and 2 months ago it was listed at 17m. Then there's a youtube video from last March that had it at 13m. He raised the price $100k - a special price for Tim's viewers, I guess. Be sure the restaurant income they say they are making are likely to be accurate. Their site says $200k pesos/mo, which I highly doubt in such a small town (but who knows). Buy this because you can afford to live your dream, not because you need the profits to sustain it.

Once they run things and live there for a while they can figure out if they love it then the sale will follow.

This house is oddly built with strange design placement. Can't say he has good taste

[@paulvandoorn9405]

Yes, the design is very chaotic. For the nice owners, they have to know that it is not possible to sale it for their asking price. Pilipinos do not buy this property. When they have the capital they go to the tourist places to show off. For most of the foreigners this is above their budget. Foreigners with this capital are now moving out of the country and invest in other asian countries . The moment somebody gives a serious offer , they have to accept it . They are going to loose , but it is better to move on when your decision is made. I hope the best for them but at 19 mln or 15 mln, years will pass by in waiting. It is a sad story, but their future starts today.

If I have the money I will buy it. I feel something beautiful on the surroundings. Love the ambiance.

IF you had $340K, why buy a poorly laid out home especially that so-called half bath upstairs...it's a closet, open ceiling and that door over the stairs?.....what the heck is that. The bathrooms esp. the master is so small; black sinks and stark white toilet and jetted tub? GAUDY!

Ive been in the construction Industry in SW Florida and the Bahamas for over 35 years and spent a ton of my life building and remodeling many on ocean front properties / homes. Been thru over 10 Hurricans from Andrew in 1992, to the last 3 which were the worst in recent years. hurricane Irma, Dorian and Ian. Dorian whiped out 1/2 of all the homes and businesses in Marsh Harbor, Guana Cay, and 4 other surrounding islands. The wind damage was devastating. The flooding of Irma was the worst in 60 + yrs here in Naples and Bonita FL. Im litterally finishing my last condo that was a 1st floor unit that got flooded. You couldnt pay me any amount of $$$ to live and buy a waterfront property unless it was raised 12' off the ground and built out if concrete and steel. Many of the older homes that still exist and were built @ 11' flood elevation which was increased to 12' about 10 yrs ago still recieved flood damage that were 1/2 mile in from the beaches. Many of the garages where flooded and people lost all their vehicles and home owner possesions . You built a beautiful home and spent the $$$ well on a concrete structure. Owning and operating a resturant is a ton of hard work though. Beautiful view and a piece of paradise.

[@tonybattaglio4625]

I just bought land in Samal a lil way from beach as that I lived through Katrina miraculously , now I want to go to beach not have the beach come to me.

[@kenthoover8427]

Thanks so much. Glad to hear from someone who actually understands. 5m Filipino house on 200 square or 17-19m western built on 2000 square. If you do the math it’s less half the cost per square. 25k per square versus 9000 per square. But people are saying 25k per square is a better deal for farm land with Filipino house. Average cost to build here on med range is 25k per square meter for a house. Not including cost of land. For those saying it’s expensive. It’s not really that bad for this area. It is negotiable for a real buyer.

[@justaguy-69]

I built mine only 20 feet from the waves and only 5 feet at high tides !! but its 4 feet up to the first floor and porch - all concrete and steel - and our 'ocean' is hiding on the west side of samar ,we are really surrounded by bigger islands, its shallow out to about 50 yards and in a cove. all the typhoons come from the east.. or southeast/northeast. they usually turn north to luzon or turn south to leyte/mindanao as they approach the east side of the philippines, I DONT KNOW WHY THAT IS..they extremely rarely cut straight across the center of visayas and if one does it has to hit leyte or samar before getting here, that would take the main punch and tide surge out of it. a direct hit of one like yolanda would be similar to it hitting ormoc, after crossing all of leyte first... from tacloban to ormoc. it would be rough for sure but nothing like facing the open pacific ocean on the east coast of the country. my biggest fear is sheet metal and parts of all my neighbors houses slamming into mine !

Just a reminder Tim that outskirt/rural Japan has cheap house/properties and is very cheap flights to and from Philippines. Just a thought about diversifying since they allow foreign property ownership. America is potentially going to be the #1 surveillance state if it isnt already. Makes Britain's CCTV look antiquated. I'm just approaching this from the idea that even rural Idaho can be ruby ridged but in a systemic dystopian round up way, and the Maui fires don't bode well for settling in blue state mid Pacific. We are what, half a decade away from AI drones and mark on hand or forehead prophetic territory. Say its a decade. Now's the time to have a de-urbanize pathway for your family, so that a well paying job can be quit and moved on from without catastrophic financial fallout.. sorry too much coffee
