You're gonna get milked. You won't live there and trust your in-laws to manage money? My suggestion to you is to join the Army. Get paid well to travel, visit the PI on your leave time, retire early at 40+, and then you will may have the experience to handle these things.

Ask about the issues with Filipino families and investment money on boards more populated by residents: livingingcebu dot com and theworldoffilipinas dot com.

They are gonna pluck you like a chicken...

Trusting inlaws/family/close friends is roughly equivalent to tossing your money down a toilet and bidding it adieu. This mantra cannot be chanted often enough. They will screw you in every way imaginable. I've heard too many guys, in my six years here, insist that: "Oh no, my inlaws are different than all the others," only to admit, several months and several thousand dollars later, that they wished they had listened to all the warnings. Unless you're perfectly willing to lose whatever money you send, DO NOT SEND IT.

[QUOTE=Laylow3]it's up to you guys. There's so much to discuss about this. I get excited about talking about it and I could go on and on but yeah i guess this isn't a farm board. I just like getting all the help I can get. So much knowledge/experience here. Maybe I'll update you all when we actually have some nice big acreage of land with animals and this "dream" actually starts to come to fruition which it will eventually.[/QUOTE]I think you should build this farm on Fantasy Island! Since you are going to have one of every exotic animal in the world can you grow some of those plants that produce bubble gum and chocolate kisses like in the movies.

I am strongly reminding everyone that this is a sex forum!

I also think laylow is so full of it that he has to be pulling our chain with all of this nonsense.

"I only have 70k to live the rest of my life on. Boo hooo. Oh thats right I forgot to tell you guys my wife is a medical doctor in the US. Oh and I forgot to mention she is a native born Filipina and I speak perfect Tagalog.

If you are even thinking in this mode you are so pussy whipped that a slap up da side a da head won't HELP. They will clean your clock - takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

Thai excuse "Water buffalo / mother / father / sister SICK" (pick one and recycle excuse as required.) Oh well, it's YOUR money (at least NOW it is...) and who am I to try to render sensibility (Yes, I know this is about Pilipines - only the country is different - the relatives don't change...muan gun Muang Thai - same same in Thailand)

You are welcome to say PW'd but please don't associate that phrase with my user name, RTFF to see who this is about. Thank you mr senior member.

Well, it was her idea anyway. but I think you guys are right so nuff said on that. We won't do it. I'll have to find someone to do it though...

Of course she will want her family to get paid. Everyone needs money. And I'm sure your wife will be pissed if you hire someone else. So you're jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire on this one.

And don't forget about squatters. You might have to consider the worry about squatters if you get land and are not monitoring it (depending on region and such). A mate flew back to deal with squatters on his dad's land as the dad is getting dementia and one squatter was cool and good hearted and good guy about things but the other had a band of guys with knives waiting for my mates arrival...

And he was not kicking them off just setting the record clear and straight that the land is his families and they can stay if they maintain it but that they clearly have no legal rights to the location. He wasn't even asking for rent. Obviously the one local squatter didn't see eye to eye with the outsider (filipino by birth but raised USA so he's considered an outsider).

You want to move to PI... don't study farming, study abnormal psychology.

I'm thinking in a situation like that, that problem should be able to be taken care of up front I would think. I don't know the story of course but I think things like that happen if people are evicted off of a piece of property suddenly when someone else purchases it. That's a good point. I'll make sure that no-one or organization has any ties to the land I'm buying from the get-go.

I agree. Reading the other reports by laylow point that out. And to think I answered one of his posts in a serious manner.

I never contributed to this debate because it all sounded so implausible. 95% of farmers in The Philippines live a precarious hand-to-mouth existence and I have yet to meet a gentleman farmer yelling at me to 'Ger orfff my land';).

Since it seems you like paraphrase then I suggest you quote exactly what I said instead of paraphrasing in regards to what you say above.

Implausible, in the opinions of some maybe but that's why my plans changed a bit after much discussion here. but i'm definitely not "pulling your chain". I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you. Just quote exactly what I said and you'll see what I mean.

70k is peanuts. Even in the Philippines!

I've been following your childish rant for a while and think the same way as Implausible!

Good luck doing a title search there. I don't even know if title insurance exists there and if it does, better luck in the filipino courts.

My missus, had a large tract of land 'stolen' off her by neighbours. The case has dragged through the local courts for a couple of years and turned quite nasty at times (threats of violence to relatives etc) and has still not been totally resolved even though the squatters have finally been evicted from the land in question. Title and land ownership is a nightmare in The Philippines. This I can assure anyone who is contemplating purchasing tracts of land, even in the name of a resident local.

@CS & Puerto - So you all and others who live there must have purchased only condos and not houses with land then?? I only ask because I wonder how you all are so lucky as to not have been plagued by all this evil-doing that is mentioned here....?? eh, there's always risk and where I choose to buy will be key. it's all about location it seems.
