My goodness. I’m shaking my head smiling and laughing. I started to go down that path. But then i realized it was just more stress than I wanted at this point in my life. Now I’m in monk mode and renting. I can do anything I want. Not tied down. Peaceful. Stress is gone. I no longer have to figure out what folks are talking about. Don’t need translation. Don’t care. Thank the Lord.
Believe it or not, but I’m finding myself thinking of Mark’s next videos while driving home from work after a stressful day. Always something to look forward to. I never get bored with his videos. This man and his beautiful family deserves all the love from us.
Very enjoyable video... the way you're teasing / negotiating with Fatima and some of the looks that she gets on her face are so cute. You're doing the right thing and keeping it enjoyable for all involved... congrats.
The negotiations have started. Great work Markitos but in this initial stage one of the great lessons you have shown is 'buyer beware' as all is not as it first appears. Very amusing exchange too. By the way, be careful about that tent being open while you are away. We had a caravan years ago and somehow a family of field mice got in and nested in the mattress.
Marcos... You could easily build a small concrete block house yourself, it is not too hard at all if you keep it medium sized. Just run some mason lines with simple $2 line levels to level the lines. Yep, tear it down right away, and start brand new on everything. The ladies can help out a lot too. Everyone needs to learn some skills.
If her grandma owns the property then she already owns it, just needs her grandma needs to sign it off to her. If other siblings are involved you will need their consent and have them all sign off on it. If they want a portion you will need to get it split up which will involve getting the property surveyed and split up fairly. Good Luck Marcus!
How much for septic tank and well? how deep do you have to go for good water? Just curious. I know no one has toilets there but one day the king might want to sit on a throwne? Keep the great vids coming.
Missed the premier but watching now. I want to say, I think it’s an amazing idea to get that lot n make a home in the village. Y’all are there a lot anyways and Maria and Forest would love it!! Even if it takes time cause it can be a slow process, please Mark film the whole process! It would be so cool to see everything from start to finish. What a blessing it is for you to do that for your wife and kids. Even I’m excited about it. 😅
Ok finally going to bed I got so excited I was just reading everyone else comments lol love the videos Mark and thank you for sharing the simple life in your wife’s village and the Philippines.
It’s the lot I would be looking at. Location, size and if it’s flat. I would prefer a small house because of less maintenance. lol also I’m pretty sure I heard Fatima say in a video she would rather have a bigger yard and a small house. 😊 she’s smart if you ask me.
There was that many people watching? 😮wow that’s amazing I knew I found a great channel it’s so addicting watching a great family channel with funny loving people and to see how they do things n live is cool. I love watching other cultures and how simple they live. Seriously doing something right when it’s so simple and still have everyone happy!
1. You need the land deed. 2. Go to local municipality and request land size survey. Cost 1.5K 3. Have an attorney write up sales contract. Cost 4K. 4. You need to have all living children of the deceased mother sign the sales contract. 5. Register land sale to local municipality. Cost 3K. 6. You also need to register at main land tax office in your province. They will tell you if any back taxes are owed on the property. They will also ask you if the land is developed or not developed. I'm sure Fatima family has never paid any land taxes. You will have to pay any taxes if any owed. That's how to properly purchase land in the province.
@@RichardMorse-h6r No, they don't do that. That is false information. There is a set fee for everything related to government dealings for any human. It's not a public market! LOL.
These beautiful ladies are outstanding and so helpful and loyal. I love learning from you all and I thank you for teaching me. /cheers! 🍻 edit: 8:43 Exactly ! Skinny jeans? Not for men.
The King: One of my favorite parts of your award winning shows, the fact Fatima is herself the whole time, she’s not acting, bragging or being fake. It makes it even more real than it is. Beautiful family as always my friend
Build a simple house just like vacation house,so everytime you and Fatima visits the village you have a place to stay and sleep.It doesn't matter made of bamboo floor and tin roof.So simple but with no water installation.As long as there's electricity you're good. Buy a big water barrel and save rain water,for laundry and shower.Drinking water can be purchase anywhere. Forest G and Maria would b very happy too they have their permanent place called home.
Marco this project will be a long term revenue stream for u from TH-cam. I could not wait to start watching building Fatima's house in the village. By the way this episode is number 1 for a lot to come.
Zippers and general tares can be fixed at a good canvas shop in the city,,so tent can be repaired easily,,just taking it to the shop is the hassle,,wait till you have a lot that needs fixing and then go.. our tent is 8 years old and lots of patches..works..take care..ours is also under a mango tree..😊
Do they have Prefab, Modular or RV/Mobile Homes available in P.I.? Great lot for Glamping in a RV Trailer with slide outs, outdoor kitchen hook ups, AC units and a screened in awning over a deck ... Adirondack chairs and big big screen TV. How about drilling well water on the lot, no go?
Best thing is to go land/property management office find out whose the legal owners and if title is legal or not. and also find out if there is back property taxes. A lot of times titles aren’t clean and legal.
Dear Mr Overstay Road.,you Are Reilly a Mr DiY..Macgyver Al rolled in One. innovative, Creative "Action Man".. that sees " Nothing will go to Waste. '..❤👍👍👍👍👍🍸🍷🍻 .. Cheer's..to you.I salute You Sir.
Why nice in the bathroom? lol sorry I’m nosey but I was just curious like are they not nice in the Philippines? When I visit my husbands grandmother her bathroom was on a bucket with a hole at the bottom on two 2 by 4’s over the river or creek lol 🤷♀️
@@WildToBeMe cleanliness and hygiene are two things i prioritize most, I learned that from my parents! if you’re used to live in a dirty and filthy environment it’s your own affair.
Typhoon Odette knocked stuff down. You just go find the walls and put them back up. My friends family had to do it. It was built out of bamboo and used metal roofing to begin with. In Dalgette Cebu in 2021. It was back up i 2 weeks. ❤
Go to the municipal and ask who owned those lot... And if you have time visit LRA Land Registration Authority and you will know everything about the lands.
Keep a place as in rent the house still? Mmm idk Mark seems smart I see him on mini vacas with his wife n kids like to the beach or camping etc but a smart man like him knows Fatima’s a good woman and he’s buying n building for her yes but it’s going to be his home as well. Good man he is and Fatima knows that. That’s why she continues to treat him n do him right. 😊❤
Don’t even think about buy property from the relatives. Don’t build anything of value there either. Greedy relatives will try take it from her once it’s built. When it comes to money and property family turns on each other.
I don’t think that’ll happen. Actually I think the opposite will happen and more family get togethers n stuff will go down. Which I hope we get to see more of because I also notice those videos get most views. I’m excited for the kids n Fatima! Plus Mark sounds too smart n will probably make sure nothing of that sort will happen! You’re a great husband n dad Mark n we here cannot wait to see updates on this! Now when you go to visit your family they will be surrounded by family to help out with the kids! 😊
And fear for your safety, forget the lost $$$$" check asia news today, u tube, without vlogers you will never be known John Dow, ps they don't keep records and the familys keep very stom
I have nothing but respect 4 mark " I appreciate someone " that can take a joke...this man is probably about 5"3 with he's boots 👢 on " but still has a heart of a lion 🦁
@WildToBeMe that depends on what mood he is in ' who he is talking to..and if he is Drinking alcohol or not " the more he Drinks " the taller he gets. Hahaha 😆
IF HE'S ONLY 5'3" THEN THE MILITARY/ MARINES >>> WOULD NOT HAVE RECRUITED HIM. THINK ABOUT IT. ASSESS THE FACTS JAX ! HE'S EX MILITARY. I THINK MINIMUM 58 INCHES OR 5'9" ~
I think if Marcos is doing this slow rebuild to stay sober and provide his people a place to live in the future and he’s not spending crazy money to do it and he’s involved a lot himself shoot I think it’s Awesome!
Houston Texas checking in. Disco night! Man I need to get back to the Philippines. El Nido has been calling me. And Marco I think this is a great idea on the renovation keeping those girls buys lol.
Good luck finding the rightful owner. My guess is the family has been there for several decades and probably were sharecroppers living on the sugar cane plantation at the largesse of the owner. Landowner papers might be in DaanBantayan or might not exist except in someones cabinet, and if so and they hear about a sale, they will step forward with demands. Good luck.
If nothing else but some great content happens I'm always down for it. But it would be really cool to see everything transpire. Especially if you guys get a chill spot in the village.
If trees 🌳 can survive or crops without irrigation then ur water table is good enough to drill. Maybe I wrong but I know this. The first thing u look for before buying or trying to build in the filipines is hard roads and a source of running water .
I got an idea to insulate a dwelling so your a/c bill will be lower. Take leaves, dry them in a tumbler over a low fire. Then run them thru a commercial paper shredder. Make rectangular mactans, 10" thick and line them with plastic and pour in the shredded leaves and attach them to the walls. Do the same with the ceiling. Perhaps the shredder can be skipped by running over the leaves to compress them. A couple feet within the entry door have a curtain of 6" wide strips of heavy clear vinyl as used at the entry to the cold room at the grocery store. I suspect this should reduce a/c and the leaves are free from the forest but you have the processing cost and mactan container cost.
This is a great idea, will be fun seeing the progress and how you can make it happen. Modern Kubo, partial concrete and bamboo.....gonna be fun! Tons of views am sure!!! End... we will.have King Marcos 2nd floor sipping that coffee in village with the kingdoms view! Make it happen fam!
I would slowly fix up a house in the village. So then you guys gotta place to stay for a few nights. The tent is ok. But gets old after a few. Get solar panels and wire it in.
If you buy a house make sure you always do every day vlog and a look ive talk to us about your life in the province so that some viewers help by giving Little earn for your efforts for us. I know i am on of your supporter and of all the vlog channel o ever watched your vlog are the best of all. Not boring but very interesting i always watched 2 to 3 times each vlog you are doing. God almighty and lord Jesus Christ bless you and your family circle.
Bought a 15ha farm in Kabankalan that was green field and fenced it, boreholes, house, garages, storerooms, built a weir, 900m of electricity laid on, livestock sheds etc. Be prepared to sink a lot of money into the project if you are going to do it properly to try and earn a living. Luckily I am a farmer from Tanzania all my life so it is nothing new to me. Before anyone comments, the land is in my wife name though it does state married to ……….on all documents. I have a 30 year lease agreement from her to me.
Most Karaoke the equipment isn't good, and they don't know how to adjust properly. I own several Battery Operated PA speakers. Bose S-1 Pro good, sound but not loud enough, JBL Eon One (Non Compact), louder but bulky. EVE verse 12 (They make an 8 almost as good) This speaker is the best, slightly larger than the Bose S-1, but it has a 12" Wolfer, 400 Watts as opposed to 50. Also longer charge life.
I wonder how some people ended up owning land and others didn't. The communities and villages were originally different tribes and the barangy was the chief. And where you lived probably has always been where you lived. Unless you were a mountain tribe that came down to find work in the sugar cane fields. And they let their workers stay in areas that they couldn't grow cane in anyway. I'm a history nut and I always wish I could have lived there then but I probably would have ended up with my head chopped off. Lol. But the Phillipines history is so interesting. The different islands were invaded by different countries and you can see it in the people. A history that is so vast because there are so many islands.
You are so intelligent I think that would be awesome I'm late I'm just clicking on it so you said something about buying that old building that's falling down that's all right it's concrete you can do it
It's Smart move, he got leave his kids something if he not on this earth if somthing happens! They have a place to stay! Wounder how much land you get from it!
Marcos buying your wife and kids a house is a smart move , in 2017 I was thinking if i passed away who would pay my rent for my family so I did the math in my head and it came out to 5 years rent to pay for a 100 square meters house so I spent 22% of my savings and built this house . No more rent and last month I figured it's paid for itself in rent If I was renting . Like anywhere prices are going up not down so good luck bro .
I suggest checking the Landbank and the local Barangay. Next time you can buy a bigger tent, ship it to the Philippines. I invested in farmland 15 years ago, 70K pesos per hectar sold it last year 500K, and 600 sq meters for 90K sold for 1M. You can never go wrong investing in the real state.❤❤❤
I think you are doing the right thing by resisting these expat traps of buying land, building homes.. I am here only 18 months so far, but I have NO interest in buying land whatsoever. I can find beautiful homes to rent in many beautiful places. Trading those experiences for the misery of dealing with a home build in the Philippines is a non-starter.
All siblings need to sign to sell land, but apparently anyone of them can pawn the land without the others knowing. 20 years later when the rest finds out, the intrest is more then the land would sell for. My wifes mother went down because siblings needed her to sign for selling land. But when she come there it turns out it was already pawned long time ago and they just wanted her to come to try to scam her into paying their otang and when that didnt work they borrowed her phone and begging her relatives to sendmoney. Noone fell for it since she never beg. I understand why she dont really have contact with them any more.
For some reason I just listen to the entire conversation on the couch the last 10 minutes. I'm now questioning my plans to visit and possibly move to the Philippines next year. 😂
That house your talking about is on TH-cam prior to a couple years, maybe even 7 years. He's related to them. Him and his wife were OFW workers with 2 kids at the time. They came back, built the house. Than...like you said. A falling out between family members and hot arguments. Plus the road was to hard on his vehicle to. Basically they became citynized! They missed the luxuries and amenities of city life. The dude up and left with his family for the city? Which one, I do not remember. Plus, it was getting pretty serious with family and him being back. I only seen a couple if vlogs and his videos disappeared. But I always remember that house, the..Y..road and fields. Maybe you can find his videos?
My goodness. I’m shaking my head smiling and laughing. I started to go down that path. But then i realized it was just more stress than I wanted at this point in my life. Now I’m in monk mode and renting. I can do anything I want. Not tied down. Peaceful. Stress is gone. I no longer have to figure out what folks are talking about. Don’t need translation. Don’t care.

Fatima deserves nothing but the best! Great mother! Happy to see y’all in her village with her family and kids seem so happy too.
Thank you for making these kinds of videos. It makes me 100% certain I never want to deal with any of that shit!
Believe it or not, but I’m finding myself thinking of Mark’s next videos while driving home from work after a stressful day. Always something to look forward to. I never get bored with his videos. This man and his beautiful family deserves all the love from us.
I agree! I keep checking to see how many hours left till the next one 😅

Nice to hear that, not bad if you have your own house to stay in the village, i'm excited for that...

Bro. That was too funny man .I am sitting here laughing my ass off. You got the patience of a freekin saint lololol. A friend from Canada.
Hahaha meanwhile I was losing it when they kept talking over him but I get it, they’re excited. lol
I think buying a house in the village is a great idea though. When you kick the bucket you'll know your wife and kids have a forever home ❤
How much for septic tank and well? how deep do you have to go for good water? Just curious. I know no one has toilets there but one day the king might want to sit on a throwne? Keep the great vids coming.

That's not a fixer upper. That's a complete teardown and rebuild.
looks like a death trap.
Great bones!
Tear it down!!! Get price for materials
I believe he said it in a joking sarcastic way
It’s the lot I would be looking at. Location, size and if it’s flat. I would prefer a small house because of less maintenance. lol also I’m pretty sure I heard Fatima say in a video she would rather have a bigger yard and a small house. 😊 she’s smart if you ask me.
a lot of American men would be condescending at some point but not Marco its really good to see this. i hope people take notes
Mark.. I just finished the video!! There were 1,100 people watching.. I couldn't believe it!!! Great video once again!!

And Only She Can Do That Not Mark ! Great Information ! 🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍
Yup
Overstays can't buy land.
Is it possible the government owns the land and Fatima’s family just has the rights?
Also, have Fatima and her family do this without you. If they see a foreigner, they will charge 3x more.
@@RichardMorse-h6r No, they don't do that. That is false information. There is a set fee for everything related to government dealings for any human. It's not a public market! LOL.
That was super funny, thanks to everyone involved.
Looking forward to seeing how you do all this, I’m thinking about this too in the future, your channel is the best channel for information.
Tent is an excellent choice, we use it often up north in Luzon,,big plus no flys or mosquitoes,, summer weather great place to take a nap.😊

BUT I'M NOT SURE MANY WOULD / OR COULD LIVE WITH HER.
Good one Marcos,well done.
I've had a house since 1990 on Leyte, and have no regrets. Always love going there

Luckily I am a farmer from Tanzania all my life so it is nothing new to me. Before anyone comments, the land is in my wife name though it does state married to ……….on all documents. I have a 30 year lease agreement from her to me.
When's the move? Baguio is waiting.
Most Karaoke the equipment isn't good, and they don't know how to adjust properly. I own several Battery Operated PA speakers. Bose S-1 Pro good, sound but not loud enough, JBL Eon One (Non Compact), louder but bulky. EVE verse 12 (They make an 8 almost as good) This speaker is the best, slightly larger than the Bose S-1, but it has a 12" Wolfer, 400 Watts as opposed to 50. Also longer charge life.
Hello to the kingdom from Lake Erie Pa.
Gramaw is lookin' gooood! (Yes, I have been drinking. Heavily.)
JUST DO IT ! WILL SUPPORT YOU WITH LIKES.
I wonder how some people ended up owning land and others didn't. The communities and villages were originally different tribes and the barangy was the chief. And where you lived probably has always been where you lived. Unless you were a mountain tribe that came down to find work in the sugar cane fields. And they let their workers stay in areas that they couldn't grow cane in anyway. I'm a history nut and I always wish I could have lived there then but I probably would have ended up with my head chopped off. Lol. But the Phillipines history is so interesting. The different islands were invaded by different countries and you can see it in the people. A history that is so vast because there are so many islands.
All you need is a really good coat of Rustoleum paint on your dream home and you are set. Throw some palm leaves on top, good as new.
At least you have your own place to call home here in the philippines, good investment.
This should be interesting…. I’ll try to join the live if possible. 😊
You are so intelligent I think that would be awesome I'm late I'm just clicking on it so you said something about buying that old building that's falling down that's all right it's concrete you can do it
It's Smart move, he got leave his kids something if he not on this earth if somthing happens!
They have a place to stay! Wounder how much land you get from it!
Yup smart move, but he’s still young and has so long to enjoy his family and home.
Hey brother how you all doing
Marcos buying your wife and kids a house is a smart move , in 2017 I was thinking if i passed away who would pay my rent for my family so I did the math in my head and it came out to 5 years rent to pay for a 100 square meters house so I spent 22% of my savings and built this house . No more rent and last month I figured it's paid for itself in rent If I was renting . Like anywhere prices are going up not down so good luck bro .
what change your mine..you was against buying ans suggest only renting
I suggest checking the Landbank and the local Barangay. Next time you can buy a bigger tent, ship it to the Philippines. I invested in farmland 15 years ago, 70K pesos per hectar sold it last year 500K, and 600 sq meters for 90K sold for 1M. You can never go wrong investing in the real state.❤❤❤
Yes I see the stress you are under!!!! Haha. Good luck. I hope it comes true. Will be an interesting story.
I think you are doing the right thing by resisting these expat traps of buying land, building homes.. I am here only 18 months so far, but I have NO interest in buying land whatsoever. I can find beautiful homes to rent in many beautiful places. Trading those experiences for the misery of dealing with a home build in the Philippines is a non-starter.
I'd love to live in a tent year round 😎 but unfortunately I'm not living there 😢
All siblings need to sign to sell land, but apparently anyone of them can pawn the land without the others knowing.
20 years later when the rest finds out, the intrest is more then the land would sell for.
My wifes mother went down because siblings needed her to sign for selling land. But when she come there it turns out it was already pawned long time ago and they just wanted her to come to try to scam her into paying their otang and when that didnt work they borrowed her phone and begging her relatives to sendmoney.
Noone fell for it since she never beg. I understand why she dont really have contact with them any more.
Castle building count me in!
I'll take vacation from Dubai and volunteer for the barn raising! Hell yeah
For some reason I just listen to the entire conversation on the couch the last 10 minutes. I'm now questioning my plans to visit and possibly move to the Philippines next year. 😂
Lol dude you are funny and bold ❤❤❤ I love the channel
Another hilariou Vlog😂 loved to hear Fatimah say( Gosh) When Marc irrateds her😂❤❤❤
Excellent choice....Go for it....!
Hilarious bro…this isn’t a travel show, straight comedy.
To figure out what Mark needs to do to purchase the land is like Abbott and Costello’s ( Who’s On First) 😂😂😂😂😂
That house your talking about is on TH-cam prior to a couple years, maybe even 7 years. He's related to them. Him and his wife were OFW workers with 2 kids at the time. They came back, built the house. Than...like you said. A falling out between family members and hot arguments. Plus the road was to hard on his vehicle to. Basically they became citynized! They missed the luxuries and amenities of city life. The dude up and left with his family for the city? Which one, I do not remember. Plus, it was getting pretty serious with family and him being back. I only seen a couple if vlogs and his videos disappeared. But I always remember that house, the..Y..road and fields. Maybe you can find his videos?
Would make for a great video series! Make it comfy for when you visit.
Marcus, plz give us an update as you patiently deal with this extended family.
You got good point on that building on that property. Definitely be iffy
You are looking good Marco!
What I also love is the dogs, they are everywhere,.
Lovely family love watching
