I love videos like this. I think it's fantastic to get ideas as to what your money will get you for cost of living expenses. I think both places looked great. I also enjoyed your counting the electric outlets, I kept hearing the Count from when I was a kid. 1, 2, 3. 3 electric outlets. Ah ah ah
All Concrete building materials, bars on windows, bad workmanship on the construction and the suicide showers probably throws off Americans who never seen that before. But for under $300 bucks a month it's untouchable in the U.S. even in a horrible neighborhood.
I've seen a lot of those bad housing in the USA, dilapidated inside, dark hallways at 350 dollars 1 room apartment on government subsidy. It is a step up from the mobile homes. Concrete materials because typhoon and termites are prevalent in the Philippines
The biggest drawback to renting in the philippines is that the rent goes up 10% a year.every rental agreement i ever saw has that written in and most landlords try to brush that by you so you need to make sure what you are getting into or you end up having to move every two years.the rent always looks cheap to get you in but if you plan on staying awhile you need to be aware of this,just passing along my personal expierence that i learned the hard way.
Looks like a nice places, kinda looking for for furnished. But if I manage it, your advice'll invaluable. Like the slidin windows, like a balcony to sit on and have a nice quiet beer at the end of the day. I'll try a trike, less chance of me fallin orf. Done well again m8, thanks!
Hi, Brian I enjoyed your showcasing these two apartments you did a grand job. I would have to do a bit more research on the area, The price seems a bit high with there being no furniture. To set yourself up in a place at a cost of whatever your budget is. I would throw three grand $ at it to rig the place out for my needs. I would just stick to furnished places, less hassle and you don't need to tie yourself down to one place. This is for someone who has a connection with the area and has long-term goals in mind because investing otherwise is a bit foolish. Unless you're loaded and don't care about the money, then again you would not stay in these sorts of accommodations anyways lol Take care GOD Bless you and yours M
Nice apartments I don’t understand why they don’t have any ceiling fans in apartments there Being in the Philippines it’s a lot cheaper to use if you can’t afford the electric for air conditioners
Good service your giving Brian and it gives people some idea as to what you get for what you pay. Personally I could never live in either one of those apartments. Very poor building materials, the cabinets look really cheap and the echoing would drive me nuts. I don't think it was Brians microphone, it was the echoing from the design of the apartment. Good place for some, just not my cup of tea.
@@PhillyinthePhilippines I really like your videos Brian and what I really respect is the family outings you go on. Nice to see a man who has a happy family life.
AC was nice to visit back in the day, but the place is too noisy to live there permanently . Plus the whole bar scene/ pay for play atmosphere does nothing for me. I'll take my life in the suburbs of cebu city. Nice video, keep up the good work.
Rent is ok but 2 months in front never heard of it here in Dumaguete City one month is the deal here problem is some landlords don't want to refund as they have spent your money so we always run out the deposit we don't pay last month as landlord already has it in deposit also always film any damage one landlord tried to get us to pay for new bathroom floor tiles cause here they extensively use bleach to clean which had bleached and dulled the tiles by previous tenants it never gets better only more dulled and 10000 peso deposit for electricity never heard of that here also I would never pay it and there is no law always deal with a landlord work out if he or she is a decent reasonable person as plenty of other rental options and if there are plenty of vacancies in an apartment block take it as a warning and look elsewhere too many landlords here are like in other countries not reasonable and a pain to deal with we have had good and bad lost our deposit once got it back by getting some work done by the landlord who was honest but hopeless at running a business look around and you will see abandoned semi finished houses everywhere and on inquiring you are told no budget bad planning is endemic in Philippines even Jollibee runs out of buckets to put their chicken in and runs out of Coca Cola regularly Mc Donald's have 8 breakfast items on menu but on one occasion I experienced they only had stock of one left.
@@Grahamgringo I was in a solid house 3500 pesos month no yearly increase I painted it as just raw concrete paid the owners long overdue electric bill so company turned it back on landlord happy we got paid back the 3500 bill by paying less rent for a while was there 4 years only left cause of insane neighbour but landlord very happy with us as respected the property and did small improvements so cheap rents are available and do deals no deals just try somewhere else.
Brian, volume not that big a deal to me. Might not get a Oscar. Thanks for video ING the Apts. Your a big help. I wouldn't want to try to be a realtor either. Merry Xmas
I’m fortunate enough to be able to stay with my in-laws in Sta Ana near Aryat in Pampanga. I had a house in Timog near Clark but my health forced me to return home.
Hey, Phil.......as a point of interest, you said it is in a safe area, yet there is barbed wire all along the top of the walls. To me, I would feel like I was incarcerated living in that house. Does the PI have a housebreak problem or for what reason the wire.
When you move and live in a developing country, you must be open-minded. Our definition of quiet and safety in North America differs from living in the Philippines. There is always a compromise in place of a cheap cost of living.
Hey Brian my dear friend, both places are really nice. But, I liked the first 2 bedroom apartment just a little bit more. And the deposit is reasonable. The sound quality wasn't bad at all. And I don't blame the landlord either for requiring a 10,000 pesos deposit for the electric. It will be very interesting to see what you get for only 5000 pesos a month. Thank you Brian my dear friend for sharing this awesome video. Please stay safe and healthy, and God bless you, lot, Borges, Miguel, Hannah grace, Bing Bing (Sam), Reynalyn, and the rest of your beautiful family. And may God bless Batchoy, B-2, Rocky, Earl, and little snow always.😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Also looking for a 1 bedroom Condo about $600 -$700 a month in Angeles and Clark Area to get a break out the province some times 6 months our monthly rental is good thank you
Nice one like see what them look like If have time love to see a fully furnished one at a reasonable price sometime if you can Keep up the good work. Merry Christmas to you and your family, WillyAustralia
Most apartments are not fully furnished, you have to furnish it and make sure there is a working running water, the toilet is flushing and draining, apartment is cleaned before you move in because mostly it is not clean. Warm water is working before you move in. Check the closets because it might be broken just check every crook and cranny of the place. They might make you have it repaired if you move in without checking.
Not everything here is beachlife and pina colatas. You need to come over here yourself and make sure the island life on an archipelago that is far from your homeland is what you want. You need to physically come here for at LEAST a month to make sure this is the life you want. Typhoons, earthquakes, landslides and flooding is the norm over here. You are truly on your own when you get here and Brian can only suggest places, but it is on YOU to find out. Manila is expensive. Living further from there is cheaper. But then that presents issues also. Nobody can tell you what is best for you but yourself. Just remember this. You are a guest here. You HAVE TO abide by their culture and customs. If yiu can't do that then you need to stay home. That's just the reality here. I can tell you that money goes faster here if you are not careful. You MUST have a guaranteed income, ie Social Security, a pension or both. If not, you are looking for trouble. Do your homework before you come. After that enjoy all of what the Philippines has to offer.
Living in a 2 bedroom up and down echo chamber isn’t for all of us but good to know a typical whats available and how much. As far as $100 accommodations, do yourself a favour and pass on that. You have a good thing going with your TH-cam channel, and I can’t see it being advantageous to you, catering to the very bottom end. If you can’t afford at the very least what you just showed, you’re very likely shouldn’t even be looking at living in the Philippines for an extended period. Personal safety, comes into play, so you think you’d at least want to be able to secure yourself in your accommodations. These apartments clearly allow that from a minimalist standpoint. At least that’s my thoughts.
Hi Phil are there any fully furnished apartments 1 bedroom separate living area with kitchens about $600 to $ 700 a month in Angeles and Clark not looking for the long term because have a house in San Mateo Isabella short term only for about 6 month's while looking for a Condo to buy
Will be Condo hunting for about 6 months to buy in the area in March 2023 upon returning back to the Philippines from las Vegas Naveda love the province but need to be around Americans also
Depressing to think about going back to that kind of an existence again. I had my fill of living in cheap apartments and surviving on bologna sandwiches when I was in my 20's. I could never be happy living like that now that I'm in my 70's. But I can empathize with someone seeking to escape a predicament with the law or an ex-wife that has taken him for everything.
I agree 100%. Very poor quality building materials. An electric outlet in the shower WTF. I wouldn't stay there for free. No knock on Brian but I could never live in a place like that.
I'm with you. I've been paying $1000 per month my six years in the Phil's for beachfront, fully furnished places. If you're an expat on a $2000 or less budget the places shown in this video is what you should expect.

Absolutely!
Thanks for showing a nice place Philly 👍🇺🇲

Same to you!
You can get a completely furnished 2 bedroom apartment for less than that in Thailand.
Thanks for posting so I can gauge apartment prices 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Good morning brian nice apartment's the price are good thanks for sharing take care
Thanks 👍
I'm sure like you said, it's a safe neighborhood. From experience, I recommend bars at all windows. Yes even upstairs 🙄.
A lot of defects I noticed. Typical Philippines workmanship.
A bum gun is super fancy. I'm so used to a bucket of water when I visit the Philippines

I would agree to a 1 month security deposit but never a 2 month security deposit as the landlord usually never gives you your deposit back.
Good and interesting video. I be coming to the Philippines in May for two months. I have to start looking for a place to stay,
Best of luck!
Very nice apartments in a good area. Nice video
Thank you!

It’s more of a deterrent than anything but also keeps birds, cats, animals in general out.
It keeps the boa constricters out.
When you move and live in a developing country, you must be open-minded. Our definition of quiet and safety in North America differs from living in the Philippines. There is always a compromise in place of a cheap cost of living.
@@_skillissue_ .Yeah I agree, no dam annoying retarded Roosters. I HATE Roosters.
Just curious how is the electric over there? 110 or do you need a reducer like in Italy. What I'm asking is does American stuff plug in there
It does not...different plug, but still 110...watch Texas Filipino videos on his build. He has videos that break it down.
Everywhere I've been in the Philippines our 2 prong plugs work, but not our 3 prong plugs.
No refrigerator or stove. Unfurnished in U.S. includes refrigerator + stove.
Way do you yanks always compair other countrys to yours.
Philippines is not u.s.a.
You're not moving to US..
