I won't buy land in the Philippines. For one thing, foreigners can't own land - yes, there are "cunning schemes" but remember that the legal system can always be bought, so no legal document can be relied on.
Kay rents a place in a gated subdivision (a Camella Homes development) for P5K a month. The same house would cost P2M to buy. The maths is pretty simple...am I going to live to 90?
As the youngest child Kay will inherit her parents' place anyway.
My ex wife has the house I built for her in her home town - her mother and brother live there, but they don't maintain it and she keeps the deeds lodged with her UK solicitor because her mother once mortgaged the house and I had to get it back from the bank for her.
