$64 USD 2 on 1 Rental property in the Philippines HD 1080p 

You've done something kind of ground-breaking, imo, and that's why thousands of subscribers are watching your videos. For some reason, Western Men are indoctrinated to own, own, own the land, buy it, own it, and that's great sometimes in some places, but I think your strategy of a long term lease at very favorable rates is better, safer, and it creates a community. The Filipino community, your kind neighbors, landlords, the local government, they KNOW that you are a tenant, but also one who is making the property better, so they really appreciate that. It's probably comforting to them. BTW - Many countries have moved away from foreign ownership ... Canada, New Zealand, etc., because rich companies and rich individuals were buying up the best farmland or beachfront property and then using it in ways that are detrimental to the local economy, so ... a backlash occurred. What you are doing is the opposite of a backlash, the Filipinos are probably hoping that more people from abroad will do the same thing, rent / lease, improve the property, be a good neighbor, enjoy life, etc. Keep making the videos! I work, work, work here in the US, but maybe escape someday ha ha

Your place is looking nice. The owners are lucky you rented it.

As a student of biology, years ago, I was always fascinated by symbiotic relationships. What we now refer to as win-win. Asian business has this concept at its core: contracts can even be renegotiated during their term to ensure everyone prospers. Contrast this with our western approach. What you have discovered here is pure symbiosis. Both the host (property owner) and renter stand to benefit enormously. What a great example of a mutually beneficial relationship. Doesn't get better than this.

You can own 100% of the house on land you lease from the owner. Get a lawyer who is from a well-respected and large law firm. Don't put anything in someone else's name if you don't have to.

Your channel is unique, interesting, and inspiring. It's a dramatic change from many of the other Phillipine YT channels. Thx for sharing.

I was expat in Makati/Ayala Alabang for 2 years in 1999 to 2001. I was with my Scottish wife and kids (I’m Scottish) and then we moved to KL then Singapore. In total, we spent just short of 10 years in the region. Stumbled across your videos after seeing a ton of guys vlogging with their new filipina wives and girlfriends and your videos are a serious breath of fresh air. I’m now 60 and single and every intention to remain so, so it was good to see someone covering the country unrelated to women. Having watched your most recent 10 or so videos, the idea of deciding to live over there, even for just a year or 5, really appeals. I wouldn’t have “culture shock” in any way and know how life is. No, of course, I would not be “ex pat” but such a lifestyle was only necessary then for the wife and kids and boy, did we have a good time but I was stressed with being a “corporate man” running business there for a telecoms manufacturer and although stressed, for various reasons, I still enjoyed it but the two years flew by. The idea of living there totally chilled out and with that weather for a few years seriously appeals. The issue is the planning it all - renting out my home in Scotland and dealing with all the logistics etc. Do you still need to be vaccinated to enter the Philippines? I am unvaccinated and will remain so. It’s a pleasure watching your videos. They bring back good memories for me.

Fantastic ideas! Looking forward to finding something like this when I retire in 23 months, cheap enough as a home base with plenty of my pension left over to travel. Thank you! 🇨🇦

Thats a great place. I have to say after watching your channel I've completely changed my mindset on what to be looking for. Thanks!

Glad to see these updates. Keep up the great work

Would be a amazing learning experience finishing out the house. Thank you for showing us something I did not know existed.

Appreciate your videos.. Nice stuff and good ideas..

You are a bargain magnet. LOL Can hear the excitement in your voice.

If everything turns to crap here I would be selling up and moving over. Great video, well done!!

We are living up in Baler, Aurora and i never even entertained an idea like this! Love it! Keep bringing the videos! Thanks!

Thank you for the house hunting video… a great find and minimal work will make it a perfect home. 👏🏻👏🏻

Wow your so amazing vlogger and your all videos is so beatiful and nice stuff Good ideas...💖😊 (Antonette Castro Student)

I'm so glad I found your channel! I'm actually thinking about visiting the Phillipines to check it out myself. I'm tired of western culture.

Been watching and enjoying your honesty, you are what renters want.

Looks like a great deal, thanks for sharing. I would like to hear more about that or others, thanks

Amazing. Really love your videos and ideas.

What a great find! Glad I subscribed.

ive been wanting to do something like this for years...semi retired...was looking at buying property up north in canada but this might be a better option....and a warmer one lol ...im a new sub, and have just started going through your content and love it...one of these days who knows maybe we will be nieghbors

Awesome! Who knows you might even make a new expat friend.

WOW, you are so right, We cannot buy in the Phillipines but that property for $64 (or £50 sterling) is well worth doing it up for a property to live in for 7 years. Renting out the guest house makes good sense too. It could be really nice, and you don't have to buy expensive tiles, etc. Windows are a necessity, but labour is cheap there, and redoing all that concrete area to one new level will make a difference asthetically. The garden area you could put one of those native huts (are they called Nipa huts?) with a table and benches in once everything is done in both houses and plant some flowers it would make a nice shaded relaxing outdoor space. You couldn't go wrong with renting it for 7 years!

This is a potentially great idea.. Legal due diligence would be a must, along with meticulous documentation (just in case) 😉 Thanks for sharing this with us!

Man,, since I was a General Contractor for years,, this is a great idea,, Guess I might wanna send some of my tools ahead of our move,, great Blog!!

I used to Rehabs in an earlier Property Management job... I'm moving over in October or November this year. I plan to live in or near Cebu IT Park for six months or so, while I get my bearings. A situation like this or buying & fixing up an older Condo appeals to me.

Great video and amazing deal! I don't know if I would want something with so much work to do. I'm sure somebody will snatch this place though. I would need something almost ready to move.😊

Nice find all the best from the UK

Fantastic video. 99% of people who come to the Philippines. Would not have the courage to do this . May Allah bless you

You're very smart, it helps both parties, just make it a point that it's all in documents and that it's their property and it's not loaned or foreclosed, i hope this helps. I like watching your channel, just subscribed

I think it's a Great deal too. Their is so much you could do with that place.

Wow I've actually got family sorta in Olongapo Its a nice set up seen this video while back great place lots of potential

Appreciate your videos. I was going to move to Davao 10 yrs ago, but circumstances changed and had to change with them. Now I am planning to move there within the next 13 months. I truly love the Philippines and look forward to the lifestyle after living in the rat race of the Bay Area.

Ahh, another gem, told my beautiful Filipina we'll be visiting you when I can be there again, she just wants a simple life together with me and her son, you give a lot of examples just how to do that, I'd bring some tools myself and would sign for 7 years in a heartbeat 😊, need a few more years to realise that dream 👍

This guy is a genius , he deserve at least 100k subs

About 7 years ago at worked for a friend of mine that owned a luxury design company. Millionaires would buy old houses and completely gut them out. Then she'd turn them into gorgeous homes. Her work was always in designer magazines. So when I look at this video, I see so much potential.

I like the direction you are taking your channel🌟. Many expats are going to say why would I want to spend all that money on someone else property. I also would like to suggest if you can find a contractor who is will to finish the project because not everyone has a vision like you do. Lastly many expats are visiting Dumaghetti Valencia area and they might want to find rental in that area. You vision is amazing you could that that here in California for that price.

Good eye!So true!thanks for sharing

thx for the video.the house has a lot of potential--if someone takes the project on maybe you could do a revisit?

Unique find. Unfinished but a deal to finish and stay long term. Interesting. - WW

You have talked me into believing in the idea of using my own money to fix up a rental in the Philippines. An insane idea in America, but seems reasonable here if you don't get too carried away. Dinalupihan is a 38 minute drive to Clark International Airport. That makes this place an interesting option for a super cheap, seemingly quiet 'home base' for living and also for storing your stuff while traveling around SE Asia. Get a hotel or rental for a month or two until this place is a bit more finished and you are all set. Getting in and out of Clark Airport is really easy also compared to Manila or Cebu City. From Clark, cheap direct flights available to places like Bangkok and others. Thanks for sharing.

Have a great day sir. From wilcon depot ☺️

Another great video!

Love it, brother! You rock!! 🤘😁

You can do a pattern area in tile in the area with broken pieces if you don’t want to do the entire floor and it will look nice

Cool content

Air I am impressed, You are a humble man and you are good at finding deals, looks like you are fitting in well in the Philippines

I did quick math,, you would save at least 30 K over the term of the lease, even after doing all the finish up work,,

Great video!

Great find. Always appreciate your videos. Was hoping to already be there but imposdible for me to get a passport for my son any time soon. One day. 🙏

Wow you were right this an outstanding opportunity for someone great video 👍👍👍 so do you think a guy might spend around 5 thousand usd on finishing that beautiful house ?

The owners of any place you rent have won the jackpot: Free renovations/property improvement. It seems unfair that foreigners can't own land though. Could you imagine if we refused sales to foreigners in the West?

You're doing a great job with your videos Ex Pensive Expat! This is wonderful brother. I've only viewed maybe less than 10 of your vidz so I don't know if you've mentioned or not but since you're living in the Province have you experienced alot of brown outs? If so what were the durations of them and how often? Thank you again for sharing these wonderful experiences with us. New subscriber here! Take care...

KIX A FIXER ...COOL SALAMAT

😎👍🇺🇲 That's been a common theme with rental properties. Find a good location. A structure that suits your needs and then improve it. Add Aircon if you need it, update the kitchen and so on. Apparently finding a place that is perfect is really hard. You'll have to spend your own money making it perfect. If a new arrival keeps that in mind. Their living conditions will be much better. I've watched vloggers spend months trying to find a nice place. They pass on homes without aircon but everything else is fine. Most property owners are more than happy to help with the installation of an air conditioning system. I guess the take away is. Have an open mind and use your imagination.👍

You have great vision sir

Wish you had started this 5years ago Sir,😅 id be interested with this. But don't think the asawa could leave her family and friends, which I understand, but great videos 👍

it will be beautiful.. Get a water filter put on your faucet in the kitchen.. so you get clean water for cooking

Looking forward to the video on how to locate these gems

wow nice place for so little money

Holy crap! I'm sending my wife there right away!! LOL😉

New subscriber and really enjoy your videos. I was curious if you would mind telling how much a month for utilities in your home there?

WISCONSIN HELLO .. YES I SPANKED THE LIKE ! SALAMAT >>>>>>>

Put some shades on your windows. It will keep house so much cooler.

I’d fix up the guesthouse a little bit for the workers and how’s the workers and I put a big covered patio off of that roof in the front. Probably just a tarp type building to give them some shelter and a break area. That’s if they wanted to stay there and get the work done. If I put the work in money into the place, I would want at least a 15 year maybe even a 20 year guaranteed lease . Unless I want to leave. was there any chickens or barking dogs in the area? Have you been up in that area at night? Time on a weekend? Karaoke Central?

Once you've fixed it up, how much will it be par year divide by 12 ?

I'm convinced to go. I get steady pay. Been on the fence but you have really sold me on this. How can i be in good contact with you? :)

I get only only $1500 a mimth CAD but i wonder if i could make it work out there cuz i cant out here 😢 any advice ?

Great ideas for the use of this property, plus an income earner, and the price over 7 years is more than worth it. I would make that investment immediately. It was mentioned of a discounted rate if leased for 7 years. Are we talking about 2 - 3 years or the entire lease time and by how much?

Good job..

`cant believe a place like that so cheap,gives me hope

Lot of work needed.but yes will be nice place one day.

Curious about why everything is surrounded by razor wire or barbed wire and barred windows, is this just a normal thing in the phillipines? I know here that usually indicates a sketchier area.

I had no idea it was so incredibly cheap to live in the Philippines! Wow! I have a family of 4, we are both in education and it would be amazing to live there and teach remotely online. Are internet speeds and connections there reliable and fast enough to do something like this?

Longer videos 👍

Do they have lots of venomous snakes there? Have you come across any on your property? I looked online and it said they have spitting cobras and many others. Just curious if they are located in the area you are living?

Are you from Hawaii? I’m from Hawaii living in Tagum ( Davao) 1year 8 months, love it here.

Is your technique putting the word out that you are looking? Or is it driving around and then asking the neighbours? There are a suprising number of incomplete projects. My ex recommended searching for sangla tira places, because you lend for them for a minimum time and only surrender the place when they repay. Given the frequency of family crises there it seems a bit mercenary

Great vids and I know it's a boring topic but where and how did you sort medical insurance there isit easy?Also is your tenancy all legally done and what happens when your times up?

Hi where is this place located, new follower here watching from Sweden a filipina. Thank you for your reply.

Such a good price.

You may be the only person in the philippines wearing a winter ski hat. My thinking is never ever dye your hair or beard ever

Great deal 😊

Wow it's interesting

Would be all over that if I were a single guy. As long as there is fast internet (or Starlink) available it is a real winner for a remote worker.

Theoretically, could you fix it up and sub-rent it?

Can you say how you found those rentals please. Only because, and I shit you not, I'm posting my pension request forms today. I was moving there next year. But if I can get something cheap then I'm there. I reckon I'll be 2 months at most and I'm there. I'll be on a shoestring budget. But I'm good with that.

OMG, that place is Perfect. THAT'S the kind of info we need. Thanks, Hey bubba , pin it on a map and leave the link so we can see just where it's at. Thanks!! 😉☠🏴‍☠

Nace video wow

Very affordable, but is the stipulation of the price that the renter does finish the house & upgrade it along with a long-term payment?

The house I am renting in Bohol for $200 a month, was like this on the outside. I had the skim coat done on the exterior. It is a coat of white cement 4 coats so very smooth. $350. It would cost about $450 in labor to do the inside of this house.

Ex Pensive coming up big again . Don't know how you find these rentals. Like that you find places with good size yards. Saw condos in Subic Bay area that needed renovation. Renting / selling with very low price. Let me know if you see any updates about those.

*🔥 IMPORTANT 🔥* Rentals are never advertised. Rentals are only posted/word of mouth. All You need to do is, take a LONG walk.

By you renting homes and renting them back you bring jobs to that community.not many but work for some. Thank you

What can i do with $1500 a momth CAD

How is your life going? Can’t wait to leave this hell hole for paradise. 9 months left on my contract and will be there!

Hows the reno coming along hope all is well

WISCONSIN AGAIN ; IM A GENERAL BUILDING CONTRACTOR , VERY MUCH EJOYING YOUR VID'S ,,,,,,,,,, SALAMAT .........

Will you make a back story video about how you got to this point in your life?
