The kitchen is looking simply marvelous! It appears ya-all are on schedule for your move!😊 My wife & I are returning to our second home in Lingayen in December for 6 months, we should plan a meet in greet since we are just a little north of you guys.
It's easy for people to give out comments and suggestions when we don't have anything at stake or anything to lose. It's your house and always do what you feel is best for your finances and your family. All the best!
We live in the Philippines after building 6 years ago. However land prices here are not cheap and if you're trying to match exclusive subdivisions as America, it might cost the same or even more. Lot's in Nuvali Santa Rosa can be up to 50,000 pesos a square meter. Condos are also really small. Farmland is still possible. However check out access and hospitalization costs. You will usually need to pay cash. So sufficient reserves would be required. All I am saying is unless you are renting a small bahay, it isn't going to be as cheap as you think. However it's a beautiful country.
@billyjohnson9166 I guess it depends if we're talking short-term or long-term.....in Scott's case, it's short-term, and yes, sell while market is still good.
I'm sure that you will be fine living in the Philippines with the time that you have spent there. I agree with you that it's better to sell the house rather than to rent it out especially when renters can do lots of damage to the house then you would have to spend so much time going to court to get the money back for the damages. Like you I'm going to sell my house that my brother was living in. He unexpectedly passed away on July 9th. It's just taking a little time to clean it out and repair the little things that had wear and tear on it. The money will come in handy but I would gladly give that away to have him back. He was only 61 at the time of his passing. Wishing you all the best of luck when you move to the Philippines and hopefully you will get the most possible for your house when you sell it. Safe travelling to the Philippines.
Oklahoma the green country is a beautiful state. I am from Saudi and went to Tulsa in the late 80s for college (TU). Great memories including my son born there. Visiting the places 5 or 6 years ago was one of the touching moments. Wishing you all the best 🌹
I'm holding off selling until next year. Interest rates are expected to drop. Here in Phoenix many buyers have been believing videos predicting a 40-80% crash...no basis. Tubers and others have been making the crash prediction for 6 years. So a lot of potential demand has been waiting while their rents continue to increase. Something is going to change sometime. My bet is another market with 20 offers the day listed at some point. Just a bet. My house is paid for and yeah renting would be much better financially. Being a landlord is a J.O.B. If I want a job I go back to being a software engineer. I've been a landlord, money is good, but not good enough. I have enough. One of the weirdest part of getting older is reminding myself I don't actually need more money.
Ytbers have been doing all these predictions like getting nuked and all emp attacks pushing and scaring their viewers 6mos, 1yr, 6yrs later and nothing happened so kind of done watching those ytbers that just shortens my lifespan. So negative
Years ago, while living in Indonesia, one my co-workers rented their house in the U.S. The guy had problems, as soon as the renter found out he was on the other side of the world, the renter was late on the payments, etc etc. The renter had a good job with one of the oil companies in TX, but was constantly giving my co-worker problems to deal with on the other side of the world.
You don't want to try and deal with renters, repairs, etc while you're 6,000 miles away unless you had a close living friend/family member that you trust with your life to manage it for you.
Scott I liked your decision because its based on the practical needs you have. It was a well thought out decision and a smart move.Looking forward to your move to the PI and how life unfolds for you and your family in a way that is both fulfilling and supportive of your lifestyle. I wish you a happy early retirement and hope you have much success in Retirement. Looking forward to seeing more of your life in the Philippines.
SCOTT..I haven't been here in a while..Your kitchen looks very nice..I don't think you all will have any problems selling your home..Seems like you both take care of things..So best of luck..just wanted to say Hello and wish you all the best with the move..
Its a very tough decision my friend. Its a toss coin. Since it's your house, it's your move. Unless looking at break even or positive, It's very difficult to have a rental most especially across the globe. Should, would and tomorrow, no one knows. Think of all the so called experts during the 2008 housing crash. Funny, Rick (the good the bad, the Philippines vlogger) fr Nueva Ecija is selling and moving bk to Tx and you are selling to move to Pi. 😊. Your neighbor fr Abucay, Suggest, Sell, be wise and enjoy. Just do it.
Oh, so this is happening sooner rather than later. Wonder how Liam is going to cope. Do you have a daughter, too? Sounds like you're recording near an Air Force base. I know there are some out that way. Big points for your correct use of "as" in your outro slide about MacArthur! (from a novelist)
I should have my house in Yukon, Oklahoma sold August 21st. Waiting for the new iPhones to come out, sell my car then off to Philippines I go. I will probably leave October or November. Just hanging out in Galveston Texas for now. I might even start a TH-cam channel when I get to Phil but not sure what to call it. Funny thing is my name is Scott also. Hahaha.
What school system will your kids do when moved to the Philippines? We are raising two teen granddaughters that will do private online schools when we move there next year.
Do you have to worry about squatters in your area? I just read this week that the housing average home price has dropped for 1st time in over a year. Personally, I would list it with a firm price But it's a tough call either way
I would sale with a mortage beside rental a lot of stress i just sold rental house it was a money pit to maintaine My daughter will pay tax insurance on my primary house im keeping but not a rental businese more like a caretaker i will have u.s mailing adress inportant it put her 13 yr son in a better school district a place she normally could not affiord buy or rent for that matter. Cant wait to move philippines.
Wondering if you will bring your puppy to the Philippines. I have a Chihuahua that I bring to the Philippines four times already. I hope you bring him/her with you. Just wondering.
Nice video Scott. Your kitchen remodel looks really good - including the counter tops! Wishing you guys smooth sailing from here on out. Take care!
Thank you very much!
Sell now. The market can change in a year. You already know if you will like the PH. My 2 cents!
The kitchen is looking simply marvelous! It appears ya-all are on schedule for your move!😊 My wife & I are returning to our second home in Lingayen in December for 6 months, we should plan a meet in greet since we are just a little north of you guys.

We are very glad that we decided to buy our house there in 2019 when prices were much lower than now. We live in Balanga, Bataan.
I will sell it now. Never know market may drop and you loss all your equity,
You’re 100% correct. Housing market doesn’t go up forever.
It actually does go up forever just due to inflation. Otherwise, we'd still be able to buy a house for $1000 like our grandparents did a century ago.
@@AKAAAK overtime it does go up but in the short run it doesn’t always go up. Just like the stock market

Sorry to hear about your loss. Im sure you miss him very much.
I agree 100%..it's hard to get things done when your thousands of miles away...Safe Travels
You seem to have a relaxed mannerism and dont foresee you having any issues adapting to life in the Philippines.

We're glad to know that Oklahoma holds such a special place in your heart. Thanks for watching!

Sell it now with the market so high. You’ll love living in the Philippines. Market is due for a crash.

Welcome back and thank you!
You are making the right choice. Life much cheaper and enjoyable in the Philippines.🇵🇭❤️
Good morning! Let us know when you arrive. We were in the same spot as you a year ago. We ended up shipping 23 balikbayan boxes.
Three of my relatives and their families are moving nowadays from LA to Davao city and one in Siargao island.

Just do it.
Not possible to retire early in the US so thats what makes my decision for me. Thanks for commenting!
Good luck someone will come along eventually, took us 1 year to sell in Florida
Homes seem to be moving quickly around here. House down the street was up for sale one week.
Congratulations on your moving Wish I was ready but just not at that point right now.
Thank you!
Good luck with your house reno and moving to the Ph. I'll be doing that in about 10 yrs.👍
Thank you! Good luck to you as well.
@@Marker44 Thank you too!
It Will sell pass
Oh, so this is happening sooner rather than later.
Wonder how Liam is going to cope. Do you have a daughter, too?
Sounds like you're recording near an Air Force base. I know there are some out that way.
Big points for your correct use of "as" in your outro slide about MacArthur! (from a novelist)
I have three adult children and Liam. Thanks for watching!
Nice video
Might be better take the money and run like Warren Buffett doing.
Welcome to the Philippines soon!👍
Thank you!

Good luck to you Scott. Let me know when you get started and I'll give you a shout out!
Is there a one time tax except on selling your home? Then you do not have to pay so much taxes on income of sell.
We will have to pay tax on the profit from the sale.
What school system will your kids do when moved to the Philippines? We are raising two teen granddaughters that will do private online schools when we move there next year.
We are looking into private schools in Balanga, Bataan
Do you have to worry about squatters in your area?
I just read this week that the housing average home price has dropped for 1st time in over a year. Personally, I would list it with a firm price
But it's a tough call either way
Not really an issue with squatters where we are.
I would sale with a mortage beside rental a lot of stress i just sold rental house it was a money pit to maintaine My daughter will pay tax insurance on my primary house im keeping but not a rental businese more like a caretaker i will have u.s mailing adress inportant it put her 13 yr son in a better school district a place she normally could not affiord buy or rent for that matter.
