It is very easy to buy foreclosed property in the Philippines. The major banks advertise in the major newspapers and on their websites. The rural banks offer the better bargains because they don't have the marketing depts behind them. Better if you have a local GF to negotiate for you so do you don't pay too much. My GF got a lot for P2700/m2 in a subdivision when the market rate is P5000/m2. Great to flip.
The foreclosed market makes less sense now unless you see a strategic buy opportunity in rural areas. The banks are simply prepared to carry these properties since they go up in value, and many properties are simply not 'saleable' because they have issues like being a 80-degree vertical slope, or land conflicts, or uncertain title. There are however opportunities in rural banks because they have cashflow issues; but also some reticence to write down loss-making loans. i.e. Like the 80-degree property (slope) I saw. Nice view though. lol.
There are a lot of agents, but they are poorly trained so do your own research. Its getting to a point when foreclosed properties will make sense again, particularly as a lot of the banks are still carrying a lot of acquired assets. We are not there yet....but interest rates will eventually rise...property prices will get to bubble levels.
You can also attend public auctions conducted by some banks, others post their foreclosed properties for negotiated sale. Foreclosed properties that are for negotiated sale can give a buyer better prices because he can submit an offer that can be below the minimum bid price, subject to bank evaluation and approval of course.
