03 · Know you can own it
A straight answer to “can I buy this?”
Filipino, dual citizen, former Filipino or foreign citizen: each project says what you may own there, in one sentence, before you fall in love with it.

Places worth a closer look
Chosen by our team, never paid for by developers.
Can I buy?
The question everyone abroad asks first.
The short answer for each situation. Every project page then tells you exactly what applies there.
Filipino or dual citizen
Yes
Condos, houses and land, anywhere.
Former natural-born Filipino
Yes, within limits
Condos, plus land up to 1,000 sqm urban or 1 ha rural for your home.
Foreign citizen
Condos, yes
Condo units, while foreigners hold no more than 40% of the building. Land through a Filipino spouse or a long lease.
Foreign, married to a Filipino
Yes, together
Your spouse can hold the land and house; you can own condos in your own name.
General information, not legal advice. Read the full ownership guide or ask a licensed broker about your situation.
Who we are
Two people you can check up on.
Trust is the whole point, so our names, our channels and the license number are on the front page.

Co-founder, the international buyer's perspective
John has lived the move. He runs a YouTube channel for Fil-Ams, Balikbayans (Filipinos returning after living abroad), and foreigners considering the Philippines, and brings that audience's questions to every project we list.
