😎👍🇺🇲 When you subtract the utilities. The rent is about 700 because normally you'd pay the rest separate. I think I've seen this place before. Central hot water is very unusual and cool. Nice place for the higher budget peeps. 👍
Amen. I believe when God blessess it exceeds beyond my expectation. I know my Father in heaven is a generous father who provides the needs of his children🥰
Great video! Sharing this type of video so viewers like myself can see the potential possibilities is awesome. Ali is most defiantly very happy by watching. I'm happy for him and his wife. The owner of the building did a great job!
I can definitely see living here it’s not bad with everything included . I like seeing the nicer places available for those who don’t have to budget their retirement
Awesome video !! As was the interview with Ali two of the best videos I've seen in a long time. I'm happy for him and his wife living in luxury and happy!
It's worth what people will pay. He is willing to pay. You or I might not think there is value in the apartment, but he and his wife do. I don't see value in watching the Kardashians on tv, but many do and can't imagine why people watch that crap. He said he watched it being built and told his wife he wanted to live there one day. "Veni, vidi, vici"
How much do you think it should cost? From what Paul and his friend are saying the place is definitely higher quality than others they've seen renting for $200-500/month.
Great apartment and tour! Ali looks quite happy. In your past videos, he mentioned working in sales at a car dealership. He deserves this now. He is past all those 12 hours and 6 days a week workdays.
Thank you for posting this. Thailand has a plethora of condos that are fully furnished and very nice. I have been waiting for more insight on what is available in Philippines.
Very nice Ollie is a likable guy! And that reminds me to put a grease trap, and the hidden lighting in my humble abode in the ceiling! I hope we can have a beer sometime at the little castle😀🌴🌴🍺

I find this to be a problem which causes a bigger problem for foreigners in the near future. This gentlemen just compared pricing with a property in California. As many TH-camrs point out you should always realize that you are In a Philippine Market using Pesos and should not compare it to the country you came from. What this gentleman should understand is when you are living in California we are talking about clean water out of your faucet, hot water, regulated electrical grid that does not go down, constant internet, great roads, traffic lights, cultural events, sporting events, fine dining and many other items that come with living in a country like the Unites States. I am not saying this is a bad unit. I m just saying do a better evaluation when you are doing a comparison. What we are doing here is inflating the prices here in the Philippines and we are doing it to ourselves.
Paul, that condo looks amazing for $950 per month - and a great deal for all the amenities included! Where I live, this much space would cost me at least two times as much, plus I would have to pay utilities! BTW: I'm a long time viewer and new subscriber to your channel, and will be watching much more! Kudos!
I wanted to call that out but everyone usually just wants to praise. Save this video. It will be the touchstone for the gentrification and price gouge to follow.
I was in Valencia last month, near the gas and go. ( bilabag east) my family rents a great 2 bedroom for 550/ month . Nice place for this is. Thanks for the tour!
My Girlfriend pays 16,250php($283US) for rent,WiFi,electric and water. 2 bedroom 1 bath with covered parking in a guard gated neighborhood in Manila(Caloocan City)
@@bigbearhugebear9018 Good question. She seems to have plenty of room for hosting her church greeters(15 woman) and other friend events. The bedrooms are very good size and house the bed and a dresser/closet for clothes.
Glad your showing this and hope more upscale paces like this will show up for the channel. Thats a heckuva window if you can see the sunrise and sunset from the same window. I am scratching my head a bit on that one. 🙂
It's probably a south facing window and he can't literally see the sun . Sunrise and sunset are horizon events. Fairly easy to see both. You do need to be awake though. 🙂
Don't forget that this is VERY expensive for the Philippines. Most lawyers barely make 950 $ per month there. The cabinets in the kitchen have a 70's touch to them. I can find much cheaper flats like it in Europe, like rural Italy, for example. Including all electricity it looks a bit better.... 😊
I also like living in comfort when im there, hes got it , Roughing it doesnt work for me in the philippines because of the heat, humidity , bugs insects. Ive rented both there Great find.
Wow that's 55000p a month. I came here to spend less not equal too or more. My last apartment in the US 2 years ago was 750. Dollars a month 1 bedroom with pool. In Philippines that could buy you a really nice place 3bd 3 bath but don't need to spend so much.
Yes but fully furnished and no utility cost. Since they never insulate the costs for running air conditioning in the whole house like this can be $250 month. Free parking another $100 month, no LP cost so actually you're at $600 for fully furnished.
This is the best apartment I've seen. I really like the large size with plenty of leftover room in the kitchen and living room areas. Efficient A/C's and heated water throughout. I'd like to know what square meters area this place has for comparison and how he was able to find this place.
Great video. Nice price with so much included. In SF that would be $4000. This is more what I’d be interested in if I wasn’t a SE Asian slow traveler. Ali is great guy. So many many choices in SE Asia. This is one
So he had to give 2 months deposit to move-in total130,000 peso. So why is he saying $950 including cable, parking, water electric etc..? Half of 130,000 is 65,000 peso = $1,129 just for rent. Am I missing something?
its not " $1,129 JUST FOR RENT" ( Its FOR EVERYTHING ALL TOGETHER) But I am confused on the 130,000 peso for 2 months, equal to 65,000 month.. =$1,129 month... which is correct $950 or $1,129 ? anyone ?
@@johninsocal8544it’s because he’s actually paying all the utilities and adds them in to his rent to come up with the $950 - $1,000 a month. He just explained it in a roundabout manner. Towards the end he explained it a bit differently.
@@charlesbronson5235that would make the math even more deviating. Because paying 130.000 for 2 months rent as deposit... But thats MORE than 950 usd. And if 950 usd is incouding a lot things, then the rent would theoreticly be even less than 950usd. Maybe 750 usd for base rent. Making the 130.000 pesos for 2 month rent even further from making sense mathematicly.
I live on the Maine coast. A place like that here rents by the night for $400 or so. So about $12,000 per month. We are in a tourist area so there are no long term rentals.
If you're paying that amount my opinion is just build a house (Nice place) but not too practical . Build a house with a nice man cave and a place to relax on an outside porch for a fraction of this cost. Also men moving over here paying this price is just driving up the market on other properties I wish everyone well thanks for sharing
I have a 3 bedroom 2 bath house in a good city decent size place with a mud room with running water outside. Sure it's not the greatest place ever but still not bad. This isn't worth it I seen a place I passed on for 750 with utilities fully furnished. It was a 3 bedroom 2 bath. Still nicer than mine but I don't like spending money I pay less than 550 a month with everything. But make 4k a month.
