1. Insurance companies
From an equity aspect, these firms play a significant role as sources of funding
for real estate. Their lending is usually done through local correspondents. This
usually entails long-term commercial and industrial financing.
2. Commercial Banks
Commercial banks provide funding for a wide range of loans. While commercial banks
may occasionally finance long-term residential acquisitions, their principal real estate
activity is focused on short-term loans, notably construction loans of six months to three
years and, to a lesser extent, home-improvement loans. Through their trust
departments, mortgage banking operations, and real estate investment trusts, several of
the top commercial banks are actively involved in real estate finance.
3. Pension Funds
One of the options for financing real estate is through pension funds. These funds were
invested in equities and bonds, but their rapid rise has necessitated new investment
avenues. This increase, along with the attractive returns available from real estate
investments, has resulted in significant engagement in real estate finance.
5. Individual Investors
Throughout the Philippines, there are a number of significant investors that are
continually lending money to real estate developers. Individuals with accessible
finances, groups of investors looking to purchase a mortgage, and huge investment
firms looking to diversify their portfolios are among these investors. They work with
mortgage brokers as well as direct clients. Many of these investors also want to engage
in real estate as part of an equity holding. T. It is thus possible to raise equity capital
through syndication instead of relying
solely on mortgage funds.
1. Hedge funds
A hedge fund is an investment vehicle that caters to high-net-worth individuals,
institutional investors, and other accredited investors. The term “hedge” is used
because these funds historically focused on hedging risk by simultaneously buying and
shorting assets in a long-short equity strategy.
