Good planning
We had been visiting regularly since 1998
We had purchased a few properties along the way just by chance really. We always had a plan to develop our beach property but we ditched that soon after relocating here.
So far we've sold up all but 1 and my wife keeps that going as a rental place. She's recouped all the purchase cost now and the monthly rent is very helpful.

During the past 12 months we've found 3 properties that we wanted to buy. Each time we would put down a non-returnable holding fee and each time we would decide against it for some reason or other.

We just spotted a bungalow and will try again.

It's more fun in the Philippines........but only if you have money
