I live in Cebu 3 years now. When I got here in 2018 I rented a Room at *THE ISLAND STAY HOTEL for 1 week and started walking around asking people about apartments for Rent. Within 3 days I found a nice 2 bedroom apartment in the Subdivision of FABRO HILLS ( across the street from the New Bridge going into Mandaue and not far from the Airport ) for 10,000 pesos. Today in 2022 I live up North in very nice 3 bedroom house in the Province of Balamban, Brgy. Pondol. *I am on a $1,500 usd. MONTHLY BUDGET... AND BELIEVE ME "I LIVE LIKE A KING" !!! -> 63 year old N.Y.C. 🇵🇷 BRONX BOY, U.S. ARMY RETIRED...
I was fine in a 26 meter place in Thailand. Sure bigger is nicer but if on a smaller budget and able to get your rent way down you can spend the money on experiences you like doing. $1000 rent in the US> $100 in the PI, 400 dollar car payment> $1200 scooter outright in the PI. Might be a small place but a guy on a say $1500 budget gets his freedom back. Coffee shops, eating out, local travel, etc. All within reach due to lowering the big overhead items.
Wow that is SO inexpensive. It's small, sure, but if you're on a $1500-$2000 budget that sure gives you a lot of money back for whatever else you want or need to do. Great video. Thank you for showing it to us.
Hi Steven, those places look great, if I was planning on coming over anytime soon I would consider them. Thanks for the video. Take care of yourself and your family. Stay safe and healthy plus have fun.
So neat and clean apartment concept design, the choosing floor and wall tiles, the kitchen tiles, black compliments the interior colors... The design, the front door, so perfect for me! The color you choose for exterior so wow factor✔️ I rate this, 9 out of 10✔️
Thank you so much for the update. I was wondering about the upstairs. I guess the shower is cold water only but then there’s probably no such thing as cold tap water in the Philippines lol. Now that Scoot Airlines has started up again in Australia I’m getting itchy feet and might make that leap that I’ve been dreaming of.
I dont care about high end switches….. what about where would you fit a stove and refrigerator? Absolutely no storage either. It’s great for $100.00 though
Very interested in these accommodation videos. Will be trying the Philippines out in 29 months & 23 days. Would appreciate even more of these. Thank you!
These will all be long gone by the time I get to the Philippines so please continue to look for this type of apartments. One of these would be a perfect for a few months while getting situated and learning the country.
Someplace like that would be a great place to rent just to have somewhere to dump your suitcases. If you wanted to travel you could leave your clothes and stuff there put on a backpack get on your scooter and go. Right now I’m thinking Valencia But I plan to travel around before I settle down anywhere.
Nice and the plugs are 3 prong grounded plugs, too. Some places I see only have the 2 prong plugs. You can't beat the price either. I'd go for one of the furnished units; that way, I won't have to worry about furniture when I have to move. So you are responsible for installing the a/c unit?
The quality of this place actually seems superior to many more expensive (and bigger) places. While I would like some more space, I think I could be happy here for a while.
hi sir i really appreciate the work you are doing.. hats off to you for these efforts. tell me ! could you give the plan so that I can keep it carefully for next year so that I can show it to my engineer?
I’ve got the land and thinking to build a apartment, just not sure how much capital I need. I still have 20 years before I retire. I love passive income
A little tight but not bad. Kitchen area.needs some cabinets. How's the general area. Is it close to shopping? Does it have transportation within walking distance? Any crime issues? And last but not least do the roosters sing, lol. It really looks nice, great job😀
super nice place for under 200. Its sad that Philippines is like South Africa where everyone has to have bars on their windows and gates around their houses.
what?... Hundred bucks a month! wtf am I doing here in Uhmerika... my monthly apartment here cost over a year there! LOL .... WTF! I'M GOING BACK HOME!
