Where are you presently located at? I do know that CA and FL have a number of those in the financial tax advisory business who are well versed on tax and other laws pertaining to real estate ownership in the Philippines. I myself lived in the PI for 8 years. If you're military (retired or active) then that opens up a whole lot more options for you in finding a well versed advisor that can help with this and educate you on the options that may be available to you. Finally, which island in the PI? Luzon? Cebu? Samar? Or one of the other 50 plus islands?
