Owner Guide
Managing Philippine property while living abroad.
Distance can make small property issues harder to manage. A clear local process helps overseas owners keep visibility over tenants, documents, concerns, and agreed next steps.
What to organize
- A clear point of contact for the owner and tenant.
- Documented property status and important records.
- A defined process for maintenance concerns and approvals.
- Regular owner updates instead of scattered messages.
Questions to ask a manager
- What is included and excluded from the management scope?
- How are urgent concerns handled and approved?
- How are tenant communications documented?
- What reports or updates will the owner receive?
SIGMA approach
- Start with the property status and owner goals.
- Agree the scope and communication process before onboarding.
- Keep the owner informed as issues move from report to resolution.
