KrazyK asked:


I understand that in both Philippines & Thailand will not allow me to own land, only own the house which is fine….BUT…. then there is property tax to take into consideration.

Philippines: (GOOD POINTS)

1. FOOD would be cheapest in
2. Renting/Buying PROPERTY would also be lowest.

Philippines: (BAD POINTS)

1. Property Tax (OWNING A HOUSE)

I believe what I read said that property tax is based on the value of your home, and you are taxed annually. So with a house worth about $100,000usd, expect to pay 25% of that amount per year? $25,000usd/year??? (CRAZY!)

Bottom line is If I choose to go to the PH I will have to consider pretty much renting If I dont want to pay property tax that is? Or if im mistaken how much is it really?

Thailand would be the same as Philippines except that its about (40-50% more expensive to live there) than PH. Upside to owning property is that they base it on your annual income? (property tax is 12.5%)

Many ppl say renting is the way to go rather than to buy a house, but then I piss away my money in away by renting because in the end I have no assets.

So…do I give up my dream of owning a house? Because I cant fathom paying more than $2000/year in property taxes. Thats just like renting in a way..only this way you get to say you own it…and you can make any types of changes you want.

So if I wanna own a house and pay the least amount of property tax Thailand is the way to go? If I want to rent a house Philippines?

What do you think? Am I mistaken on the % of taxes? Advice? Should I choose someplace else entirely?

I am absolutely though moving to someplace in asia wherever it may be.
I am certain property tax isnt that high in PH, I mean here in the states you only pay like $2,000/year or more. Why is it so high in some of these places?

I figure I only want/need the house for 20 years or a bit more.

What about leasing a house, think that would be a better decision?
