you say you can build different 😯houses in the Philippines's great to know . thank you so much
Yes but us foreigners cannot own in general.
@@Expat_Philippines general santos city?
Not only do I have faith and trust in you, you can see for yourself that I have confidence in us, our future together. Other couples try to do what we're doing putting our house together. Some other couples never do it. They're other people, not us. And we are our son, you and me.
At first when I read this, the wording and context made it sound like you and I were a couple lol
@@Expat_Philippines I was pretty sure you'd get there. There's people here in the States looking at me and my wife.....their eyes say what da fudge is that white boy doing with that (fill in the blank)...I look back at them and my eyes say....Tourist, what you're looking at is a dynamic in action.
@@Expat_Philippinesit made me think like that too...thought the message was for you😂
@NoToYellowpigs I know 😂🤷I think Dutch just used the wrong Grammer 🙏
@dutch1954 Thanks for the support Dutch
Being a good father that provides to his family is all that matters at the end.
Awesome Boss 😊.
Your a responsible man kowtow to you captain God bless you
Thank you!

You're a good guy Captain Trucker.
Thanks, I'm ok. I have some good and bad moments in life.

I can’t believe there aren’t more modular, tiny homes/Park Models, shipping container type alternate dwellings in Philippines!
That would be one of the opportunity for expats to invest business in this type of dwellings
That's a good idea...
The deed to my house in America is in my name , and i put it in my wifes name also, i am also going to pay for a roon in the family home in the Philippines. We have a nice apartment in Metro Manila, that i keep to.
7:02 yes, for a lot cheaper.. A house.. Not loaned.. Man
If the lot is already there I think 60-80k is pretty good for most people
It's true foreigner can't buy to own a land and a house here but, the foreign spouse can inherit a property just like a local spouse rights.
A spouse can inherit 50% of the property and the 50 is for the kids to share with.
But, If you don't have kids as long as the deceased spouse doesn't any will to order who can inherit automatically it would belongs to the surviving spouse
I like your points
Thanks 👍
You’re talking about Paul Mcgill old dog new trick. In my opinion he is doing the right thing. At least he will leave a better life for his younger wife later than when he first met her. In my opinion some American mentally has always been greedy for their loved ones, especially for their kids.
True
You will be fine as long you got yourself a good loyal woman.
For example, my sister will inherit one of my mother property. Her husband (US citizen that can't afford a house or land in USA) is LUCKY THAT HE MARRIED TO FILIPINO FAMILY THAT IS NOT POOR
Another example. I have a friend who married a gastrointestinal specialist medical doctor (specialist in the USA). Her husband stays at home (US citizen).
People get divorced.. You have child support.. Alimony and all that.. But we can't do the same for people we care about just bec they're from another country.
But yes, always think before making big decisions
Thinking is usually a good idea 😆
Awesome 👏
if u buy land make sure your name was in the Title too even your not married so no worries, they cant sell it..Just saying..or i think u can put it in Annotation..Thnx
I have no intentions of owning it...
I said "so forth" over a dozen times I believe 😆
I got 2 one in Timog n in Boracay. For vacation purposes I’m from Texas. In Saipan U.S citizens cannot own a land unless you had local or Chamorro blood.
Foreigners should not be allowed to own land for good reason.
Hey captain
Foreigners are not allowed to own property in philippines unless you are married to a filipina/filipino.
Foreigners should get out of the mindset of "owning" property in this country...
You can own a condominium or a townhouse if you are a foreigner. You can also lease land for 25 yrs and extend it to another 25 to 50 yrs. You can also have a corporation with 60% owned by a Filipino to purchase land which is not advisable unless you are a multi-national corporation. By then you should have earned a profit by building rental units or a farm if it’s an agricultural land. Then you die happy.
@@bayareatanders correct accrdg to Phil Condominium Act. But what im refereing to is “land”.
I'm faced with this dilemma, whether to get some land in the province for a mini farm/house. Of course it will need to go into my partners name. Always a bit tricky, if you do nothing you are reasonably safe but you never build a future so you are just marking time before you check out. Alternatively, you do build something and it all turns to crap and again you have lost time, money and opportunity. I will be talking to a lawyer when I get back to the Philippines to see how I can mitigate the risk, no doubt there will be ways to achieve this. At 66 yrs old I don't have a problem with making her secure when I pass on, in all probability long before she does, you can't take it with you. Time will tell. Cheers Aussie John
@1Thucydides Not too sure about either the so called "evidence or the alleged cognitive dissidence". I've spent my fair share of time in the Philippines, yet to be scammed by a Filipina that I've known/romanced. I realise that It can happen but I would argue that you have far more likelihood of being Financially Butt Raped in your home countries than by a wisely chosen Filipina. In our countries there are 50% - 70% divorce rates and as men we get totally screwed, my last divorce cost me well in excess of a million dollars in cash, more than that in opportu ity costs and many years of my life. Seriously, considering the costing in the Philippines, how much do you think a Filipina could cost me. You need to stop being a chicken little after listening to CZcams content designed to catch your attention and generate views. Yes, there are people who get caught, most of the time these people thought with their little head and they basically ally did it to themselves. We have all heard it ad nausium, "she got the scooter I bought her, she got the TV, I wasted money on her friends, I invested in a business that didn't work out ect ect". Like seriously, grow up. If you want to build anything then there will be risk involved. Like in the Shawshank Redemption " Either get busy living or get busy dying". Meanwhile time stands still for no man. Just my two bobs worth. Cheers Aussie John
Are you driving while talking??
Not usually...
PH is heaven on earth for rich Filipinos only & not for foreigners to settle Captain Trucker FYI foreigners in PH can't even own small portions of lands Filipino brokers telling you they can are scammers foreigners in PH can't own properties full business ownership have very limited rights & many are deported foreigners can be naturalized PH citizens if born & raised in PH like the prominent Spanish Ayala family which is not the case of newcomers like you Captain Trucker
The house is for my Filipino son, I have no intentions of owning it. If you watched the vid instead of trolling by you would understand.
@@Expat_Philippines I'm just stating facts about PH which you might be unaware of that's all its not my intention to be trolling
I don't need you trying to educate me. You know nothing about this video or channel.
@@Expat_Philippines I'm not at all trying to educate you I just stated facts on why PH is not the ideal country for foreigners to settle Did I offend you for saying so ? Sorry if I did
@@josepanicucci8591 I'm not offended. Just establishing the context of your comment and intentions here are meaningless.
If men are so concerned about the property they are buying for their filipina they can get a usafruct on the property.
I think the idea is if a foreigner plans on building a property they shouldn't expect to own it. Just the way the dynamic is...
@@Expat_Philippines a usafruct would give some of those selfish individuals peace of mind knowing there wife or girlfreind cannot throw them off the property.
I have property but l never put one on my place. I have a child with my filipina. We are close and both decent people so l dont think getting the boot will happen to me.
