    I've checked all your apartment hunting videos (I like those), and I can tell your current apartment is the best out of all of them.
    The size is perfect, the brightness is key, the living room is engaging, open, well oriented and enjoyable, the view is top, the location is top, the bathrooms are nice, (having two is a plus), having two bedrooms is top (the spare room can be converted into a work area, leaving the rest of the apartment to what it's meant to be: relaxing. You can also host a visitor/friend), you have a useful balcony, a full size totally fonctional kitchen, a washer, no deposit, a normally set up apartment, and your rent includes EVERYTHING.
    So, why don't you try to negotiate a yearly deal with the landlord and knock the rent down 2 or 3 mil (even 4) for the month ? You would be surprised what a yearly contract can do for you.
    One more thing: I'm a communication specialist, and I would advise you to NEVER, EVER, openly display your enthusiasm for a place you're visiting. Indeed, every time you verbalize your amazement and interest for the place, the message you're sending to the landlord is that his place is unique and that what he's asking for it is not enough for what it's really worth.
    Don't do that, as you're hurting yourself (closing the doors of negotiation and throwing the keys out the window, yourself) and hurting the overall market.
    Always keep your excitement to yourself, it will pay off at the end (remember what happened to the overall conditiins when you got back to that place you liked the most, to visit another unit).
    Take care.

      @@eicisback I agree with you that I think this is the best place overall. The problem is I don't know how long I will be here it could be one month or 3 months. Also my landlord I did offer to sign a 3-month contract if she will lower the price she did not want to lower the price at all even if I signed a longer-term contract.

    The smaller place in your current building was definitely the best, but if it isn't going to be a significantly better deal/negotiable, then at least you are in a great place at the moment.
    Hopefully the prices come down as the rains kick in.
    Also likely an An Thuong tax....Perhaps heading a few streets south towards Cho Bac My An or even inland a little towards the river (You'd still only be a 10 to 15 minute walk from the beach which will be bearable as the temperatures drop)....Even the other side of the river is alright - got your second branches of Gordon's/Bikini Bottom etc. and you can shave 30% off the prices for comparable quality places - $1.50 Grab to the beach.

    • @Willtravelz
      @Willtravelz  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@cookietulis6252 I like exactly the way you think. The only issue are I refuse to ride a scooter in this country so I can't go too far away from the area. 99% of everything that I do is right here in this neighborhood so I walk. Also I do not like the pub area down by bikini bottoms. Therefore I'm kind of stuck in a smaller radius of where I want to rent. I do not want to be by the pubs in the bikini bottoms area to live. And then the further away from the beach that you get is the more local cheaper area which is fine except for the fact that I would have to be backtracking and walking this way every single day to do my normal activities that I do here without a scooter. That's the big issue. A lot of people are going to say that I should have just rented the cheaper place in my apartment and paid the extra 20 or $30. But I'm in such a perfect position right now where I'm staying at that I would have to be talked out of it and given a great deal in order for me to move.
      So if you add in the $1.50 grab every single day to and from that adds another 30 to $50 on my monthly cost at that point I would have just been better off paying the extra $50 to stay in the Beach area.

I would imagine even if I ran two air conditioners all day it couldn't be more than double that which would be right around to $120. I would overestimate spending $100 a month if you ran one AC all day and use your electricity a lot. I'm more in the 60 to $80 a month range.
