The easiest and fastest way to buy a real estate in any part of the Philippines is to pay it in spot cash. Spot cash payment means the buyer pays the price of the property in a short period of time in cash which is usually one month after the date of reservation.

Disadvantages

Most people can’t afford to pay in spot cash
TIP: Most home buyers would choose paying in longer when buying a property. If you can purchase a property in spot cash, analyze your budget and state of finances first before making any decisions.

Bank Financing

After paying the down payment, the buyer loans the balance of the property from a bank. This simply means that the bank pays the developer/owner of the real estate property and the buyer pays the bank. The property will be under the bank’s name as collateral just so the bank can go after the property in case of nonpayment.

Longer the term, the more you end up paying (interest rates).
Strict bank terms of approval and on late payments
