“Full Booked.”
Try booking a hotel in Baguio in December. Or February. Or Holy Week. It’s impossible. That is why Baguio real estate is a cash cow.
The Terrain Challenge
Baguio foreclosures are tricky. You need to check:
- Slope: Is the house sliding?
- Water: Is there a reliable supply?
- Title: Baguio has unique titling issues (Ancestral lands, etc.).
This is why buying from a Bank is crucial. Banks have already vetted the titles. You aren’t buying a “Rights Only” claim; you are buying a Titled asset.
The Transient Model
Buy a large, old foreclosed house. Renovate it into 3-4 separate units. List on Airbnb. The “Group Travel” market in Baguio is massive.
The TPLEX Effect
The drive is shorter than ever. Demand is higher than ever.
