Hey, has anyone investing in Apartments in the Philippines?

I am excited to be a part of BP.

How do I get MLS access without going through a real estate agent?

A decent amount of apartment building near downtown have been effectively converted to hotel due to the large % of STR's in the building.  

its hard to crack that nut thoughI tried it in Oregon on the coast with a 120 unit apartment complex I wanted to build..

it sort of depends if your property is an A or C property  on an A you should almost always go with new stainless steel In a dilapidated apartment with low rents I might throw in a used $50 appliance and if it breaks just replace with another as repairing usually costs more tha fixing  Nowadays you can get a new stainless stove for $400-500 so you might as well.

Shell I consIder buying a short sale house with out any interior access?

We have around $150k equity in our home and are considering selling and using the cash to move into a property that will give us an opportunity to generate some revenue through house hacking or finding something with a guest house or apartment we could rent out. 

I found them both when doing google searches for multifamily.loan.Realatom.com seems like a startup right out the gate that wants users to pay a one time fee for people to get access to your loan requests. 

What does the MLS offer that Loopnet doesn’t in terms of finding an apartment complex to invest in?
