They got a REALLY real good deal but this is not at all typical in Puerto Rico. Furthermore, what is not being said is that the average salary in Puerto Rico is much lower than that of the mainland United States. Wouldn't surprise me if they were only bringing in $50k combined. Also for those thinking it is a good idea to start house hunting in PR, the average rent in San Juan is almost $1700 for much less space. At $1000 per month, they are probably getting a hefty subsidized discount by a family member or good friend who is renting the space out to them. Other things to consider when you compare this to bigger mainland U.S. cities that have comparable rent: *Your salary in Chicago/DC is going to be 3x more than what I can make in San Juan.

They live in Hato Rey but the shots of them walking around outside is old San Juan. Little weird that the producers had shots of them walk-in in OSJ while she was describing them living in the middle of it all in Hato Rey. No big deal but I was confused for a second lol wondering where I’m Hato Rey it looks like that
What an awesome post! Beautiful aesthetic! You have created a lovely home, and I like that you include very practical advice for natural/weather issues unique to island life; but it is still useful advice for any abode....to include evacuation plans. Puerto Rico is lovely!
Valentina there is part of the high class in the island. She's paying 1k because she have high standards. But if you are a little humble and don't require to live in the capital which in my opinion is crap you can find whole houses for as low as $800 or maybe less a month in beautiful towns.
I moved to Puerto Rico 6 years ago and ALL my living expenses total to a bit less than $1,000. My mortgage is only $320 a month. I own a comfy 3 bedroom house with some land up in the mountains 45 away from the capital.
I was thinking the exact same thing. I have never and will never pay above $400. Hato Rey is not safe to walk at night and you have to drive to all the venues. I've seen lots of houses for reasonable prices in good places. Houses aren't too expensive, the problem is competition that is driving up the prices.
Very cool to see this story! My wife and I moved abroad to Asia after hitting Coast FIRE. The cost of living is cheaper here which makes our passive income streams from the US more valuable.
My friend, Hato Rey area is not good and her apartment is in old san juan in the shots. Plus you can get a house for less payment around the island. Shes actually loosing money.

Nice video, thanks for sharing, love the apartment, totally ideal, I'm from PR too, I never lived there as an adult and always been thinking about it in the back of my mind to move there, even for a few years at least, btw if you moving to another country I recommend Portugal/Spain with the Digital Nomad Visa that just came out, plus 2 years in Spain, you can get citizenship and no language barrier, its definitely in my future plans post PR
At first, I thought so too. But then I realized that it's still possible, especially if you notice how small is each of their rooms. For comparison, I live in a 700-ish sqft studio apartment. It's possible for me to partition this space and get 3 smalls rooms + a decent living/dining area.
It's moronic to rent forever, you never build equity and you risk being evicted when you can no longer afford the rent. These are the same people who cry about being evicted and not being able to afford rent when rent increases. If you buy a town house or Condominium you can at least keep your monthly payments the same for the next 30 years if you have a fixed interest rate with the option to refinance to get a lower interest rate. You also build equity in your property due to inflation and housing demand, the value of your property increases over time which you can then use for your retirement if you move some where cheaper.
Puerto Rico is NOT hot all year round. It's hot only during the summer months (just like you would experience anywhere else in the world.) Actually right now, as I write this, it's a bit chilly tonight. It's the 2nd of March.

It looks fake and its not the real Puerto Rican living is a tourist living cost of life what she is showing here.
