Best Posts in Thread: Any house for sale

I thought what Liverpool said was hilarious, "If that grandfather doesn't have a house for sale, what's your point?".
This post too is off topic but is a response. I don't have a house for sale.
Be aware that in Asia, especially poorer countries, relationships are often entered into intellectually rather than emotionally, even more so than in the West. Love can come later and usually does. I don't think grandpa really believes that young lady loves him just for his personality or great physique. They are both happy so what's the problem? Not our business.

 

SPOT on and END OF. Well said.

 

Do that twice divorced grandfather has a house for sale? If not, what's your point?

 

Visit the Loan Officer at the Rural Bank of Bacong or the Dumaguete Rural Bank Inc and inquire about Foreclosed properties meeting your specifications. Even if the starting price is beyond your budget they will negotiate.

Banks will not loan money on property with bad title. On good loans when they foreclose the title is changed at ROD to the banks name. A cash buyer at the bank has his/her name registered and receives the title. If part of the property price is used as collateral for a loan the bank remains the registered owner at ROD until the loan is paid then the ownership at ROD is changed to the borrower and the title is released by the bank.

This thread went awry when someone introduced age of wives/partners as an irrelevant matter - when, in fact, it is the sole business of the two people in that relationship.

 

I know this question was put to another on this site, but one good reason not to buy/build in a Sub-Division in my opinion is; most of us here are older than our partners and our reasons for buying or building here is to leave a place for them to live after we have gone, rather than them having to go back to the bamboo huts they were brought up in; but a SD is not a good choice for that as they will always have SD dues to pay, when you have gone where will their income come from? can you leave them enough money to last them the rest of their days? even if you can the family will wheedle it out of them, same goes if they sell the expensive house in the SD, there is also another problem with that the higher priced houses usually stay on the market that bit longer, so the Pinay takes out loans, then gets desperate for money and sell at a much reduced price.

Houses in good SD's usually are more expensive, rather than pay that extra for a house better to get something on its own and spend the extra on gaining more land, perhaps even to build a second house on it.

Added to the above if you can build a house that requires no AC add a solar system even better, then you have then left a house that is affordable on a very low income.

 

By the way, yes I live in a subdivision, and from your description I wouldn't be at all surprised if it is the same one that you rented in all those years ago lol,
As a rule, no cars are parked in the street here, there's no street vendors coming in, nobody has chickens/roosters, no free roaming dogs here, friendly neighbours, and karaoke, well, sometimes there's a party where the ladies like to sing, so what?
Does that mean it is paradise, no of course not. Wherever one chooses to live there will be issues.
But I am happy here, and so is my gwapa asawa.

 

Wooooo was having some work done on the house recently, so took the family to Aldea close to sibulan for a week , longest month of my life ...........CONCRETE JUNGLE, CONCRETE SHXXHOLE, better conditions if living in the wet market in the city......IMHO, they buy a house then think they can extend up or down, open a store, park 5 cars outside the house, clothes lines everywhere, then some houses boarded up, dogs a wild..........rant over
