Thank you thank you thank you for making this video! I am planning on moving in August and this gives me great guidance.
I am so glad I could help!
Sooooo helpful! Thank you!
You’re welcome! Thank you for the comment!
I love storage in this houses.... amazing use of space
Yup
I do miss you in Thailand, no one show a neighborhood like you do. I hope you go back soon. I enjoy you on a motorcycle or on foot going ...
Me too
Thanks
that's amazing!
Thank you for the comment!
Awesome 👍
I just like it thanks bro I am a student and coming korea with my friends
Thank you! I will do more videos for student rooms :)
Narrow spaces we use for detergents in Europe if next to sink but in this house sett perfectly for oils and spices ...they need be storage away from ovens hobs
Yup so much space here
Canadians can stay in Korea for 6 months with no visa normally, but unfortunately due to covid, Canadians are now required to have a visa since last June. This is due to Canada overreacting and imposing this requirement on Korean nationals first and Korea having to reciprocate.
Wow I didn’t know that happened. Thanks for the update
What do you expect with Justin Trudeau? Worst government in Canadian history.
Would love to spend three months in S. Korea, too bad Americans can’t do six months like Canadians. (Feels like we would just get use to the country and we have to leave😔)Would it be easy to rent/lease an apartment/condo for only three months in S. Korea? Would a place closer to Seoul be much more in rent? Public transportation would be our mode of travel as it’s not practical to buy a vehicle for only three months.
3 months could be tough but I remember tad saying there are hotels or facilities you can rent on base or something? My friend would just air bnb. If covid is over you can easily just visa hop to japan and back.
I love this apartment, would you please inform me, were is located?
I really like that apartment 💜💜💜
Glad you liked it!
Ok, I would love to know where or who you went through to find these places? My family are moving over in a few years so I would love to know more :D
It just happened to be the one my friend asked a random real estate agent. He wasn’t a great one either and they were yelling at each other in the end so we wouldn’t even recommend him. Either we got very lucky or as we suspect it’s pretty normal or a combination of both :)
How does one find living accommodations like this? My partner and I are wanting to stay in Korea for a couple months while doing working remotely, Airbnb is pricey.
Very nice
Thank you
is this property is available i am coming korea in may for study i like this apartment very much i would like to get this.
Where is this located? Gimhae?
I'm looking at apartments in Mexico. $500 a month gets you a thoroughly middle class standard of living place in a safe neighborhood in Guadalajara. WHAT is the appeal of living in the U.S. if geoarbitrage is on your side?
True
I love vanity and wardrob ...haha bathtun is tinnies hahahah and shower too ? How do you keep moisture out of stuff in bathrooms ???
Windows and fans take care of the moisture. Never had issues
G’day mate. Maintenance fees for officetels are outrageous because it is not regulated, unlike apartments
That would explain it!
What!?! I lived in Songtan up the road in 2000-2001 when I was stationed at Osan Air Base, I paid about $400 a month for 2 br. My friend who was stationed at Yongsan and lived in Itaewon paid $3,000 a month.. that was 20 years ago! No inflation in Korea? Also had to pay for my own kerosene for heat, it was like $2,000 whole winter.
Sounds like you might have gotten military pricing cause they over charge for military knowing y’all have housing allowance. And the heating is only that expensive if you are way out in the boonies where there isn’t a gas line
@@livetravelasia I was definately getting over charged because of location and allowance but it wasn't that much more than local rate my cousins were paying.
Whole different world now Korea is expensive everywhere with exception like this rent price(bc low interest rate over supplies etc), then you lived in expensive small America located in Korea.
What a 🤝 deal
This 600$ 2 bedroom is way nicer than the 1,200$ 2 bedroom (which is now 1450$ as I edit this) in the methed out American city I went to college in.
without deposit
I don't think its a luxury apartment because it's quite common for recently-bulit-aparments in Korea.and currently live in Seoul ( suburban area) but Im paying 650 USD for a small apartment every monthhhh with 20K USD deposit.so I think you're lucky
Yes for Korean standards this is pretty new for the new buildings but for my western audiences in America where we don’t have many new condos it’s considered luxurious. He did get lucky cause he got into the building when it was just built with only a few thousand deposit. I heard the price went up since
Yesss I love home
It’s great
Nice
Thank you for the comment!
perfect
Yeah it's a really nice spot for the price I was surprised
Hello. Thank you for your video. I was wondering if I could get the address or name to the place. I have a lease ending soon and this place looks nice.
Camus real estate near camp humphreys
Where is it plz reply me
So can I ask all the rent with like the fees and everything that's needed to be payed?! And the deposit
I go over everything in this and the other videos. But this one he just deposited 2 months rent and all the fees aside from rent were on that hoa schedule
I'll take it 😁
Need furnished villa or apartment in korea for two months.
can you please tell us about realtors?
Can’t generalize. They’re all different but one thing is certain, they want to make sure they find a place you’ll like and you’ll sign for. They’ll be pushy but you just have to be firm and communicate exactly what you’ll like instead of just asking them to recommend something
Where can I watch Korean real estate show? I have always been interested in Korean and Asia houses and planning
There’s a bunch on the Korean channels but never seen it made available to westerners...
Can one buy or rent an apartment like this one if they dont have a korean citizen ship?
Yes
This would cost around 900-1000k in Germany
Wow
Where did Tad buy his 1400 dollar vehicle? From a dealer or private party? Nice and detailed video as usual. Thanks.
Private party
Please what city is this , planning to move to South Korea and settle down there , but afraid of fraud as many friends got scammed with fake rent agents , this place looks amazing 🤩
Please read other comments
Can you please share me the cheapest best condo or apartment or goshiwon to rent for 5months in incheon?
There's new ones. Please check the sites or better yet I recommend you go to a local real estate office
Camus estate is a beautiful place i used to lived there with my family 😍😍
Wow what a small world! Thanks for the comment!
Helloo remember me do you still teach at elinggure? I dont know how to spell that hehe
Hi Punn!!! How have you been? I have t been back to Thailand because of the virus
Seems to be 1.5hr away from central Seoul
Well everything is like an hr away from the center of Seoul cause of traffic :(
Where exactly was this apartment located? I'm trying to convince my fiancé to make the move. He's open to it but only knows Seoul and Busan. Which city is this apartment located?
Its literally right in front of camp humphreys. I am here right now actually with another guy that lives here and they've increased the price too like 700 usd and they say the new people coming in now are paying even more. But checkout the korean apt apps and you'll find lots of places everywhere. Try gyeonggido province. It's the areas around seoul which are much more affordable and newer cities. Unless you have a particular reason to be in seoul, i wouldn't recommend living there
@@livetravelasia thank you! I really appreciate your quick response. Im not sure if you can answer this but my fiance plays a lot of pc first person shooters but he can't find info if Koreans play certain games he like. Do you know if Korea allows you to play battlefield or call of duty?
Korea is probably the esports capital of the world so yes they play it however Koreans seem to play other games more competitively. I see them playing this counter strike like game on tv but it’s called sudden strike or something. That being said I am sure you’ll be able to find people who play those cause they’re really popular games
how much was the key money/deposit?
this one was just one months rent in advance
Wow that’s a really good deal
How far is this apartment from Seoul?
It was about an hr by subway
I also want an apartment like this because I am moving out for studying
Yes it would be perfect!
So where can I find this kind of apartments? Like any address or something
Exactly where is the apartment located in Korea?
Literally right in front of camp humphreys main gate
In which place this apartment is ?
I want to know
Pyeongtaek area right in front of camp humphreys base
Where in South Korea is this apartment?
Near camp humphreys
Where is it
Near camp humphreys
where is this located
Near pyeongtaek
i will Take this Apartment when i have time to Moving out because I live in United States of America it is Going to be Far way From me to Travel it is Going to be 18 houra long fly
Great plan! They did raise the price in this building last I hear however but there are always great deals to be found if you shop around :)
Where in Korea is this?? 🧐
Near camp humphreys
What is the name of the apartment
I think it was Camus or something. Can't miss it. It's right by the camp humphreys main walking gate
Location?
Camus real estate right in front of Pyeongtaek-si
Where in Korea is this? This is not definitely not in Seoul or nearby. Is this really country side? Even in country side, 600 sounds too cheap.
It's actually on line number 1 subway. Right outside Seoul in Gyeonggido
I believe it is not in Seoul as you would pay about 1200-1500$ for such a house with a huge deposit (probably around 20 million won). lol
haha not that much for rent but a huge deposit yeah. Why it's not worth being in seoul. It's an old city anyways. Gyeonggi do is much more affordable and newer
where is this?
Right in front of camp Humphreys
$600 per month? What about the deposit?
was one month's rent but apparently the going rate now for most rooms is about 800 since I've shot this video. It's become quite popular. Everything is honestly negotiable cause it's private owners renting at the rate of supply and demand
600 a month US money or korea money?
it's in dollars so yes american yes
$2300 in Bay Area 😣
Yikes
I have Searched apartment on internet and they all was one single tiny room with $600 .. . Comparing to this .. this one is so cheap and so good .. can you give me contact no or something of the owner?
Is it Seoul
It’s near in a city called pyeongtaek. Right on line one of the subway so not far
Where is this please say me give me location please please 🙇😔
Pyeongtaek
Hello, I want to ask if this apartment is located in Seart or Busan City?
No it's near Seoul on line one
@@livetravelasia Did not understand, do you could explain more?
I am paying 400$ for a very small one room house in suwon korea 😢
lol sounds about right. Suwon is really nice tho!
I m payin 2500 for studio...without utility bill
Yikes
Omg how cheap its ...i m movin😃😃😃😃
Haha yup
In which state is this apartment in Korea?
"pyeong-taek".........not seoul!!
Pyeongtaek. It’s actually on line number one of the subway from Seoul.
Oh my gosh! Do not enter the house wearing shoes
In Korea, you must never wear shoes when entering the house.
How can I get into the house with those dirty shoes on?
We didn’t
Wow! Very nice for $600 a month
Yes I think so too
Korea isn’t a good place to retire?
I think it's a good place. Honestly any place is better then america but each country sorta has their pros and cons
I’m 47 and thinking about moving to South Korea I live in the United States as a professional hairdresser any suggestions where I should live don’t want to go over 500 per month
600 dollar a month ? no Pro Hour
month
@@livetravelasia wow that sounds affordable
what happened to your girlfriend from Japan? You still engage?
We were never engaged. We’re still together but covid so she’s in japan I am in Korea right now
Did you pay like $50,000 deposit to get this for $600 monthly? This is too good to be that cheap @_@
It was only 2 months rent. Those kinds of ridiculous deposits are only for places in the very center of Seoul
@@livetravelasia omg I really need to look for places outside of Seoul. Our budget is $1000 monthly and it's nowhere near this nice. 😔
you have a new girlfriend?
you have your exgirlfriend on the cover of your youtube channel why?
Cause she’s my girlfriend?
