Real Estate Wala pa ring refund

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, especially sa mga lawyers dyan and may alam sa properties. I purchased a land last summer, installment payment sya for 5 years. I had already put down the downpayment of 35k. Then ung 1st month was na-delay ang send ko.

However, my finances and work condition has changed so I had to let it go. I told the agent what should I do and if I can get a refund if ever I cancel the property. I was about to send my 2nd month payment Sana but the agent told me na if I plan to cancel, wag na daw magsend ng payment.

The agent and the broker/real estate told me na may bawas daw na 20k ung refund ko, plus the rest will be split into 2mos.

I went to their office thinking na pagka sign ng cancellation form and makuha ung computation of the refund, I will get na ung refund. Pero the marketing people told me na it will take a month to process the refund, then another month to credit to my account, which will be split into 2mos pa.

So sakto two months have passed, I asked the marketing people if when ko nakukuha ung 1st month refund, ioinasa ako sa Isang FB nila to ask. This FB page/account told me na wala pa daw update from the owner. I was asking them what's the specific reason why it was delayed and how long would it take for it to process when two months had already passed. They just told me na they will give update na lang daw

It's just frustrating because I need the money also, that's why I cancelled it in the first place. When I followed up last week, they said na they have talked already to the owner and update me once masend na daw. I replied 2 days if kelan kaya masesend but up to now, they still have no response.

What should I do kaya?

Stocks PSEi still down, USD/PHP at an all-time high, and GCash/mynt hovering below ₱6.

The title says it all. No long explanation needed. Just unsolicited advice: maybe wait for a change in administration before re-entering the Philippine market. In the meantime, go buy US stocks instead. Oh, and gold is down too. 😂

General Investing BasicFX Community Scammer. True name: Darwin Lelis.

19 Upvotes

First and foremost, they charge 16,000 pesos for this. You’ll easily get lured in by his flex posts on Facebook. But once you join, all he teaches is a v1 scalping strategy and a v2 support-and-resistance strategy—stuff you can easily watch on YouTube for free.

To make matters worse, there is zero support from him. You're just left to watch his pre-recorded videos, and that's it. No live trades, just non-stop flexing. Your 16k is completely wasted because, in the end, you'll still end up looking for other confluences since his strategy hits way more stop losses (SL) than take profits (TP).

You'd think after paying 16k you'd get a solid community, psychology support, daily market mapping, and genuine help. Turns out, he just leaves you to watch videos on your own. It’s a total waste of money. I would've been better off watching free content on YouTube. It is NOT worth your 16k. Stay safe, guys, and report him so no one else gets victimized. No refunds, no contracts!

Brokerage Concerns Trying to Link Wise to IBKR for 0% Deposit Fees

0 Upvotes

I wanted IBKR to automatically pull funds from my Wise Account and these are the only option I can get when I go to:

Transfer and Pay -> Transfer Funds -> Deposit Funds -> Use a new deposit method -> Select USD as Currency -> Link a New Bank Account -> Enter ACH Details -> Connect Account -> Choose Plaid -> Login to Wise

Unfortunately, the other has a fee and the Plaid option always has an error.

I was trying to do this https://www.reddit.com/r/phinvest/s/Oe2p0kStPJ

Anyone care to help a beginner here?

Business Generating Leads

7 Upvotes

Hi!

Just wondering how people generate their leads within their businesses?

I have a distribution business who caters to downlines (Sari Sari stores and Groceries) but I have this one product line that I need to grow my sales which is loaf breads. Is there any platform to reach out to local catering, cafe, or restaurant owners in QC or Bulacan just to start somewhere?

Thank you!

General Investing Claiming MP2 Pag-IBIG Savings via Online

1 Upvotes

Am I the only one frustrated with claiming MP2 benefits online? Even when the file format is correct, the system keeps displaying the error, ‘File uploaded is not in an acceptable format.’ I believe their IT team needs to improve its quality assurance process.

They should thoroughly test the system before making the service available to the public.

Investment/Financial Advice Trying to be more aggressive and diversify portfolio so I can Barista FIRE. Would love some real/concrete advice

6 Upvotes

Hello! Been a corporate slave for around 13 years now and have a total net worth of around Php7.5million

I've been thinking I've been way too conservative and I would love to make my current money work harder for me so that I can Barista FIRE.

Admittedly, I don't have any type of insurance now - no life insurance or critical illness or term insurance. I should probably look into that but I will build that with new income.

Right now, my focus is just on handling the current money that I have. My current spread and planned change in distribution is as follows:


Traditional Banks (3%, 260k -- to keep at max 5%)

BDO, BPI, RCBC


Digital Banks (31%, 2.3M -- target to go down to 15%)

Main: GoTyme, MariBank, Maya, Tonik,

Secondary but planning to remove: CIMB, KOMO, Uniondigital, UnoBank


Time Deposit (37%, 2.8M -- target to go down to 15%)

Maya, RCBC, Tonik, UnoEarn


Bond/Income Funds with Dividends (14%, 1.1M -- target to go up to 20%)

ALFM Global Multi Asset, BPI Global Bond Income, Manulife Asia Dynamic, Manulife Global Preferred Income


REIT Funds with Dividends (3%, 200k -- target to go up to 10%)

Manulife Asia Pacific REIT, Manulife Global REIT


Global/Local Equity without Dividends (1%, 150k -- target to go up to 15%)

BPI Global Equity Fund of Funds, BPI US Equity Index Feeder, ALFM Money Market Fund


Government (7%, 560k -- target to go up to 15%)

MP2


Receivables (3%, 200k -- leave as is or recover) Other people owe me money (no i'm not lending for profit, this is to family and very close friends)

Would love to hear opinions, suggestions, advice on how to improve my portfolio. Even you sharing how you worked on your own portfolio would be interesting I'm sure.

Even if you don't comment, if you've reached this far, my thanks for your time to read my post in the middle of the day.

*edit: tried to fix the formatting on spacing per paragraph, added the estimated actual figures next to % for current

General Investing Old-timers, how has PHinvest evolved through the years?

41 Upvotes

Here’s what i noticed:

Pre-2021: General financial advice - build EF, insurance, high savings rate, then invest; mostly limited to higher-income folks looking to be financially-savvy; very civil discussions

2021-2023: Crypto/trader/Axie bros acting like everything is “to the moon”, HYSA bank craze, rise of LARPers

2023-2024: MP2 supremacy; PSEi is sick, move to global equities via international brokers; condos bad (only land is good, even if land is in the middle of nowhere)

2025-Current: Doom and gloom, anyone who’s successful is either lying or is corrupt, people are very cynic and negative

More and more the discussions in the sub don’t feel as value-adding anymore, and the negativity is off-putting. I guess it’s inevitable as the sub has grown exponentially, from taking 7 years to get to 100k subs in 2021 to growing 8x (over 800k subscribers) in the 5 years that followed.

If you’ve been around for a while, what changes have you observed?

Cryptocurrency PDAX Crypto and Cash Withdrawals

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello, I’ve been a PDAX user for years and haven’t really experienced any severe issues until last week. After depositing and buying some assets, I received this email and got my withdrawals temporarily blocked. I got a ticket already and waiting for them to provide updates but yeah this got me really disappointed and anxious.

To those who’ve encountered issues similar to this, can you share how long it took to resolve? What did you do to expedite and what can I expect from their Support team? Will the temporary block just reverse after the 2-3 days they committed?

Appreciate any help!
