Philippines RE Opportunity in 2024

First time poster and avid observer. I am a small time landlord with a few doors in the US. I am looking at expanding and finding it increasingly difficult to make the numbers work with leverage that is worth the effort this is considering i can let this grow at 5-8%+ in tbills, bonds, and hysa at minimal risk and higher cashflow. I am in a unique position having a spouse with dual-citizenship in the Philippines with solid liquidity. The cost of a cash purchase there is not far off from a down payment here for investment property 5-8M PHP will go far from what ive seen in researching different areas in land/house for sale groups. What are the largest opportunities and downsides to owning property in this country when buying cash? I have been before in a non investor capacity and see it being feasible with worst case you own a vacation home free and clear to rent on airbnb.

thought process of this being both an investment and for personal use/retirement many years down the line. Fully aware I can make more money leaving it in index funds with compounded interest.

*Areas of interest Cebu, Dumaguete, Siguijor, Siargao

Appreciate any insights in advance!

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear

Fast Rising HOA Fees on NYC Condo, No Budget Provided

My wife and I are first time homeowners and could use some advice on a situation we've been having with our management company and Board. We bought a condo in Brooklyn two years ago, and since then our HOA fees have climbed dramatically. In August of last year, our fees were increased by ~30% and just yesterday we received notice that this new figure would be increased by 16% as of June 1st. The by-laws for our building state that ten days before such a change goes into effect, the Board must provide unit owners with the itemized budget upon which the new numbers were based. This didn't happen last year, and when I asked the management company about it, they just kept vaguely insisting the Board had done due diligence. After I kept pressing, they finally sent a budget that was several years old, so obviously not the one that the new numbers were based on. When I asked the management company for contact information for the Board to get further clarification, I was told that th

Obtaining a real estate license as a hobby?

Hello, I am 24 years old - 2 years out of college and I have my main job. I was looking to get a real estate license (in California if location matters) as a hobby/for fun since I like real estate ever since I was in high school. In the past 2 years, I would go to open house in the weekends to look at homes for fun. I don’t plan to practice real estate full time as I have my main job but I am curious are there any benefits to this? In the future, I plan to own multiple properties and have rentals, so I was wondering if getting a real estate license can help me with it?
