How Ofws Can Own a Home from Miles Away

For OFWs, investing in real estate in the Philippines is a meaningful way to give back to their families and build a secure future for them and their loved ones. It can also be a great source of passive income while working out of the country. But buying from abroad also comes with its own set of challenges which is why it’s best to be well-prepared, especially if it’s your first time investing.

Want to have a seamless investment experience? Check out these tips to help make the process stress-free.



Know Your Investment Goals

The first step in your investment journey is knowing what your investment goals are. Are you looking for a property for personal use or for pure investment? This helps you narrow down the type of property you want. For a developer like Suntrust Properties, they offer its clients a variety of house and lot projects and condominiums in the country’s key locations—offering its homeowners and investors opportunities for growth, comfort, and accessibility.

No matter your preferences, it’s best to have a clear goal with your real estate property.

Research Complexities of the Investment Process

Because of their location, their access to the financing options and hand in the legal process can be limited. Research on available financial options tailored to your needs such as Bank Loans, the Pag-IBIG OFW loan program, or a Developer In-House Financing. It also helps to have enough knowledge in the legal aspects of the process like preparing the right type of documents and appointing a trusted representative for a smooth transaction all-throughout your journey.

Choose a Trusted Developer and Agent

For OFWs, choosing a trusted developer and real estate agent is key to a smooth and secure investment process. They ensure quality, reliability, and guidance while making the purchase overseas—especially when it comes to the complexities of every transaction. You will be able to invest with confidence with the right partners by your side.

Suntrust’s dedicated Property Specialists will surely be with you every step of the way.
