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.
