Home Away

Your home away that earns while you're away.

This is a new offering from Homes by Rau — built for busy professionals, overseas Filipinos, and global investors who want to build passive income from beautiful properties in the Philippines and Florida.

Buy. Build. Earn. Remotely.

Invest in Sunshine

Our umbrella program that helps you buy, build, and earn from vacation rentals and income properties in sunny destinations — starting with:

Home Away Philippines

A fully remote solution for anyone who wants to own property in the Philippines — without the stress of managing it themselves.

Your all-in-one, 100% hands-off vacation rental investment service.

Whether you’re dreaming of a vacation home, a retirement property, or passive rental income, we make it possible from wherever you are.

Is This Right for You?

Home Away is perfect for:

  • Filipinos living abroad who want to build or buy property back home — for personal use, family, or future retirement
  • First-generation Filipino-Americans looking to reconnect with their roots through real estate
  • Foreign investors who see the growth and opportunity in Philippine vacation rentals
  • Professionals with no time to manage a second property — but who want passive income
  • Anyone who wants to invest in the Philippines but doesn’t know where to start, who to trust, or how to navigate the legal requirements
  • Buyers who want to build from scratch or renovate an existing property but need a team to oversee the work locally

Whether you want a beach house to enjoy on holidays, an Airbnb rental that earns while you’re away, or a long-term property for future income — we make it happen with full support, from wherever you are.

4. We Design, Set Up & Manage

Our local team in the Philippines handles furnishing, renovations (if needed), and even property management or Airbnb guest turnover.

5. You Earn. We Maintain.

Relax while your property works for you. Get regular updates, financial reports, and hands-free support from a team you can trust.
