  • Today we visit with a American house builder that has built a brand new home for sale in the Philippines. We do walk through this brand new home and all of it's features. No corners was cut building this home and the title is clear ready to transfer easily to the new owner. Three bedroom, 2 bath , swimming pool and a open floor plan of spacious living space. Quiet community on a beautiful road with views of the large mountain sitting as a backdrop.
    We are a Fil Am couple sharing our lives between living in Texas USA and Iloilo City on Panay Island Philippines. We share dealing with two different cultures, building our solid concrete cast in place home beach side and exploring/ seeking new things. We hope you enjoy and join to be part of a bigger family here on this channel.
    Thank you for being apart of our channel and lives.
    James and Melinda

    tell them part that non citizens can’t own land . buy the a house that you don’t own the property it’s on

      We all have heard this one million times and one million times we will reply with this: Do you truly own land in the USA or other countries? How many times has a divorce come along and the man or woman loses everything no matter who's name is on the title? Same here .. this is a communal property government and believe it or not foreigner spouses do get awarded estates here in the Philippines. It all begins with doing your homework before you buy or build. Now you buy it all in her name only and even BEFORE your even married well yes you was a dumbass from the get go and setting YOURSELF up for a loss. But..... not everybody is a dumbass or goes through life making bad decisions. For instance Melinda and I have been married for a few years and been through some testing times before we bought and built. The property was bought with her and I in a legal contract as to the terms of the property if we was to split. All permits was in my name and I am the lead name on the title. I DO HAVE RIGHT as a foreign spouse here in the Philippines and I know the laws and how to exercise my rights. That is the key anywhere no matter here or in the States. It is all about how you handle your business before you start. Dont marry a 20 year old bar girl and expect things to never go wrong. They are well trained to do one thing GET YOUR MONEY. Julian has been married 18 years with 3 kids...... do you think he is worried? Same for Melinda and I. We have a real marriage not a semi slave situation..... Do you want to know what I mean by that????? You find and married a impoverished low educated girl who her and her family is desperate, you keep her pinned down and never ever dare to bring her to your country or allow her to have independence to drive on her own or have her own money. You basically enslave her to your hand and wallet to do what you bark out or she gets no coins from you. She gives up her pride and dignity to be your young slave so she and her family can have a chance at something just a little better. In the end the young girl would have been better off without those things and just lived a happy but poor Filipino life. My wife was proudly brought to the USA. She was allowed to go as she pleases and make friends. She was allowed to make her own mistakes. She was allowed to go out with her friends without me checking on her every 5 minutes. Why because she is a human not a slave and we have a real marriage. We together chose to return here to Pi where she has a drivers license and freedom to come and go same as I have. That is a true marriage not suppression through the wallet. I have found most men who worry so much about this Foreigner can't own deal have worries because they know their shit is not real and they do scandalous things that will risk them losing their ass. Julian and myself like many others have rock solid marriages and no worries.

    Very admirable gentlemen. You acknowledge the skills Filipinos can bring into the building concept and their love for artistic design not here in the west are not adapted too but overall it’s really the collaborative venture of exchanging great ideas. Climate / weather as you know is a big factor there so you ensure that houses or buildings are built on good solid durable foundation.

Quality isn't the first thing that comes to mind with most residential properties in the Philippines. This appears to be a step above. If they decide to stay in the Philippines, they have a property that will last them years to come.

    There are 2 ways of paying for labour. The daily wage or a project contract. Have them quote the contract per project and negotiate. This is better than paying them daily unless u r like james who is the foreman and is actively involved. Reason being is that they will drag the work out so they can maximise what they can get from you.
