- My name is Kevin. I hope you will enjoy my videos of my great new life of early retirement in Dumaguete in the Philippines. Come along on my island hopping trips to beaches, snorkeling, mountains, waterfalls and other Philippine destinations. I’ll introduce you to friends, so you can learn about dating, finding a place to live, restaurants, and best places to buy groceries

Even by myself Id go crazy in that confined of a space.
He’s hardly home. He’s pretty active
Kevin, I really like how you're getting out and showing people the area and all it has to offer. I like the vloggers from Dumaguete but sit down talks and interviews aren't nearly as useful as what you're doing, in my opinion. Keep up the great work!
Thank for watching Steve! I appreciate it
I like it. With security guard ❤😊
Thanks for your informational vlogs, and for the full-screen pictures (instead of blocking out the scenery looking into the camera all the time like so many vloggers do). Good color in your pics.
Thanks for watching K! I appreciate it
looking forward to ur future videos on more apartments, hopefully near a beach that's clean, thank you for uncurated honest videos
Thanks for watching Sam! I’m looking
Nice Video , That sure is a great price
👍🏻
Hi Kevin.
Great video on rentals.
Keep up the great 👍 work and thanks for looking for the more "affordable apartments".
Thanks for watching Floriberto! I just messaged my realtor friend yesterday. Hopefully I can do some more soon😉
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65That's good news Kevin.
I'm saving all of your information on rentals on my " memory bank", so when that time comes for my retirement,..I will have some good choices in that area of the Philippines.
Thanks again.
It would be great if vloggers did more of this walk around type of vlogs showing the places to live and the cost associated....that would help people quite a bit in the decision process of where to live.
Thanks for watching egovorch! I appreciate it
It's a good price and a nice place 👍
The rooster would drive me nuts
Nice review. Keep doing apartment and home reviews. Also, hotel reviews.
Thanks for watching rusty, I appreciate it!
Hi Kevin, good to see you out and about exploring the places near Dumaguete. I would prefer to rent a place nearer the beach, as you have a Seabreeze because the temperature there today is about 35°C. That’s too hot for me. Alternately you can move up into the mountains where it’s much cooler. It would be good to see you make a video in a mountain resort one day. Have a great day 😊
Thanks for watching Alan! I hear ya. I’m looking for more seaside places
That’s perfect for someone starting out there on a budget of less than 75,000 a month.
Yes, although my buddy just moved up to Valencia…a lot of young people have moved in and are partying all night out in the walkways
it's perfect for one person. I have a girlfriend and that will not work for me but it is a good deal.. thanks for showing us rentals..👍👍🤗😎🐊🍺🍻😁
👍🏻I’m looking for bigger 😉
Thanks Kevin, this is really helpful info for those of us who are about to retire there. Well done, great content.
Thanks again space traveler! I’ll keep trying to find some more places
Hi Kevin my name is Mike and I'm retired from the US Navy. I was actually stationed in Subic Bay for many years when the US bases were still open. I can speak the Tagalog language fairly fluently and I must say that your presentation was very done. Dumaguete might be a place that im interested in. Thanks again for sharing and keep up the great work. Peace out brother
Thanks for watching Mike! I appreciate your service 😉
Great job on a decent apartment complex. Keep up doing all types of housing option videos please - very helpful!
Glad you liked it D. I appreciate you watching!
Really nice even with it being minimal may take a gander to see if something opens up, I'm actually close by looking for something more permanent would be nice if something opened up.
Thanks for watching D! I’m pretty sure my buddy will be leaving after May. His place should be available soon 😉
Good video as it helps us SEE not just the rental unit but it's surroundings. Maybe on a future video you could talk about how a new person who just moved there should go about finding a place to live? Is there a website where you can research what is available before you get there? Should you hire a realtor? I assume you would stay in a hotel or AirBnB short term while looking. Anyway, great topic on an important concern of everyone!
Thanks for watching Joe! I’m still looking for a site. That’d give me more places to show. I recommend Airbnb when you come over. You get a discount for monthly rentals, everything is paid for, and no contract. It’ll give you time to find a place
watching from san diego, ca. thanks for sharing. i hope it's still available next year.
Thanks for watching Nikki! There will be plenty of options available when you get here😉
Good info, enjoyed the tour and detailed info from Toronto Canada, your monthly expenses video will be nice, thanks
Thanks for watching! I’ll have to do the budget video next month. I have not been documenting anything this month and I want it to be as accurate as possible for y’all
Hi Kevin
Thanks for the video
Thanks for the £ prices.
Nice place good value.
Andy UK
Thanks for watching Andy, I appreciate it!
Free parking and a security guard plus the apartment being far from the street is awesome.
Thanks for watching Mark! It’s also in a great location, which I did not do a good enough job explaining that
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 Hello Kevin. I would like to talk to you on phone for a few minutes while you are here is the states if possible. What do you think? Thank you!
@@codywy5579 sure, I’ll be back mid August. You can email me at:
2muchtimeonmyhands65@gmail.com
Nice find, I hope prices are still about this price
Keep up the good work! More please.
Thanks again for watching! I’m always looking for more places to show you guys😉
That place is ready nice I like it nice outside nice inside small but very doable 👍🏽🇺🇸( everything is nice )
My buddy actually just moved from there…said it has been occupied by a bunch of MUCH younger people who drink all night on the balconies. He moved to Big Rock in Valencia
Focused informative keep em coming.
Thanks for watching Courtney! Glad you found this informative 😉
Nice apt and I like the price ! Locations seems really good and it's pretty quiet there from what I saw. Hoping to see more videos like this but Dumagette does look affordable to me. Thanks for the video !!!
the best time to move to the philippines was 15- 25 years ago even 40 yuears ago, but its too late now, its changed, if you dont live there now dont plan on retiring there.
It’s definitely NOT getting any cheaper 😉
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 cooking gas went from 700 peso to 1200 or more, a 3 wheel motorcycle ride in town was 20-30 peso now they all expect you to toss them 100 because others do it that are just visiting, same happened to mexico years ago. i tip good when i eat out at 50 peso but now they expect 200 peso tips, we all dont have vacation money to blow if we live here, we have kids to feed and bills to pay.
A video about your entire budget per month would be really great.
Include everything you spend money on each month.
Rent
Utilities (electricity, gas, internet, etc)
visas,
medical insurance,
food,
transportation,
Everything
😊😊😊😊
Ok prepper, my first month is up on the 17th. That’s when I’ll get my first electric bill. I’ll do it after that
Reminds me of when I got out of college and was low on funds and got a tiny apartment. Retiring to a tiny sweat box in the Philippines is not a dream of mine
You can find whatever place you want here JF! That’s what he chose. He’s rarely home except at night
I appreciate your videos . I'm getting ready to move to Dumaguete before winter and was wondering how my social security check would transfer there and if I should keep my bank here in the US. I was also wandering if my straight talk phone would work there. Thanks
Thanks for watching Mark! I’m too young to get social security. I highly recommend you watch my video “I lost my wallet”. It goes over some very important things that you should know…including your bank and phone. I recommend checking out the comments too. Many viewers added some great suggestions as well 😉
keep your bank in the U.S. and send yourself Western Union, Moneygram or withdraw from your debit card.
Thank you for the video! Love seeing things like this. Helps me plan for the future. Subscribed! :)
Thanks for watching lowtech! Glad you liked it
And thanks for subscribing!
Thanks Kevin…I hope to be there in August…I may have to get a Airbnb in Dumaguete at first then I will look for a suitable place for me and my girlfriend. Then I will look to buy a car as well as a motorcycle. I was there before Covid-19 and I drove everywhere with no problems, you just need to drive slow and watch out for the other driver’s. I will install cameras in my car in case I do have a accident I am guilty til proven innocent so the camera is very important. I no your channel is small but it will grow…I always give a like to all the Tubers I watch…Maybe we will cross paths once I get there.
Thanks for watching Marc! Sounds like you have it figured out. Let me know when you get close to coming 😉
Sure beats the high cost of rent here in the US.
Just saw a house for sale for 224,000.00 dollar's.
They bought it back in 2017 for 89,000.00 dollar's.
Geez.
Absolutely!!!! $650/month would be OUTRAGEOUS here, but could not get you into a 1 BR in NW Houston
You can build a nice one in the PH for 50K!
Great price.For 1 person perfect
I’m relocating to the Pi this year and this is a perfect start up for a single guy who is looking for a base to explore from I’ll be looking for something like this for at least a year , thank you for showing us what we can get for our money! I’ll be on a military pension but unlike my American cousins we Brits have to wait unti we are 67 before or state or as you say social security pension kicks in so good value for money is a must
Thanks for watching Tony! There are good value places around. You just have to find them😉
That prize is not bad, a senior studio apartment here in the USA cost much more than that almost doubled.
They just installed a HUGE generator. My friend says that makes it even more valuable. We have at least 1 brown out every 2 weeks, and it’s been more than that here in the rainy season
Nice grounds but the apt. is so - so in my opinion. The car spot / secure location is very nice & I can see where he sees the value in that. -- I would keep looking !
Thanks for watching Frank! They also recently installed a generator, that they turn on 5 minutes after a brown out…..that adds an INCREDIBLE value to the property!
not a bad looking apartment for the price, but the curfew is a deal breaker. feels like you're in a prison and get a daily furlough.
I spoke to my friend, and he didn’t even know anything about a curfew. He comes and goes as he pleases and has never had an issue with having guests. They may have put that up during Covid
Informative. Thank you.
Thanks for watching zalozalo! I appreciate it
LOOKS GOOD KEVIN
Thanks for watching Michael! I appreciate it😉
thanks keep up the rentals! and do you do homes /beach condos for sale ?
I can do some condos/homes for sale BUT as a foreigner you can’t own a home….you can the condo, but not a home. Are you getting married or do you have a wife? If so, you can put the property in her name
Thanks for the video. $55 usd for that small space with one small ac seems a bit high. Other then that nice and clean i would live there.
Thanks for watching RR! Yes, electricity is much more expensive here than the US. That’s the main reason why I recommend an Airbnb property. You get everything included and can run the AC 24/7 without worrying about a $300 electric bill 😉
Nice vdub in the carport, is it the owners? First vdub I've seen in any video of the Philippines in the year I've been watching vids. Oh and I did hear roosters when you were videoing while walking out.
Thanks for watching Lee! The guy who rents the little house in the front owns the VW. He seemed to be a cool guy. He was sitting on his patio listening to classic rock music. I’m sure that probably was a rooster that you heard. It’s hard to get away from them
Wow Very cheap The security guard is a great touch
That’s funny! I just replied to a comment that it was a ripoff. I guess it’s what you make of it
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 all perception. I thought it was a great value and looked very cozy
Possible to slip the guard a few pesos to choke the chicken (rooster)?
There’s not enough pesos in the Philippines to kill all of the roosters! They go all day too! Some people say they get used to it, but I’m not. Fortunately I live in a compound with 3 Rottweilers. If a rooster does screw up and get in, it doesn’t last long
Seem to be a nice small community
Thanks for watching Florence! Yes, he has made some new friends there
That's a great price of $235 for a small 1 bedroom or what I consider a studio apartment. Gives someone a chance to save some $$, while staying there. Do they have mailboxes, or how do renter receives packages?
Thanks for watching Michael! There is no Post Office or daily mail delivery like in the US. You can still get packages delivered, and apartments are good for that because they at least have a name. There are no home addresses here either. You give them a landmark and what Baranguay you are in, and they call you when they get close
I kinda understand that if you base studio on sq.ft. but I always considered if it had a bedroom then it was a 1 bedroom and a studio was 1 room with a bathroom. Where are you from Erik?
One of the few I've seen with a fire escape. Correct me if I'm wrong.🏝️
Thanks for watching ragjam! I think it’s mandatory in the newer complexes, but yes, not all of them have one
Gawd those chickens 😅
Welcome to the Philippines 😂
Nice apartment ok price , a lot cheaper than Cebu city.
I’m going to Cebu next week. I will try to find an apartment or condo to show there
Seems a bit expensive for that size. I have a 2 bedroom 2 bath place condo in Baguio that is 840 sqr feet interior space and I’m lucky to get 16-18k rent per month.
Thanks for watching Neil! Again, completely different island, supply and demand, if you want to live where this apartment is…10 minutes from Dumaguete, 10 minutes from Valencia, 15 minutes from Dauin…..then that’s what you have to pay
thats about right for my rental in august.
👍🏻
Nice place - considering it's gated and safe parking ! ---- 3 or 4 times more than I would like to pay. W/elect - he's at almost $300 ! --- I'd prefer the $150 for both (rent + ac 24/7) - in a place like Steve's on the Philippine Info Channel ! --- It would cost a couple grand to "make it yours" - but a long term lease would be worth it. 🤗 -- Then -- you would be 'comfortable' and not sweaty all the time ?
13,000 Pp... oh my!!!
Sign me up. They want 91,000 Pp for my Studio apartment- no bedroom, but full balcony in Toronto. For a 60 year old apartment with a thru the wall a.c.. That's $2,199 Can... And that's a steal in Toronto's Old Yorkville Village...
Thinking of a SRRV, for my early retiement, exxxxxtended Vacay, Tropical island Philippines experience!!!
Thanks for watching Glen, I appreciate it 😉
What a great apartment I am wondering who to get in touch with when I go to Manila in December 2024 to reacquired for my Philippines citizenship in Manila so that I can buy some land in Dumaguete late 2025. Pls include informations contact number or address to rent a space from the landlord or owners. Thank you!
You can probably take $30...$50 off rental because of the free WiFi and cable TV so it's good with security and nice area.
Thanks for watching James! Also, they just installed a HUGE generator right next to the guard gate that gets turned on 5 minutes into ANY brownout. I have recently realized how important that is during the rainy season 😉
B Brown
Thats a bargain
Need a video on that one
👍🏻
Hi Keven, you do a great job on your videos and cover all the need to knows pretty well.i like the JTJM Apartments and would hope to stay there when i come in November. Do they have many units open or are they usually full? what are the chances of finding a unit there when i come? should i contact that number and just hope for the best.
Thanks for watching Leo! Yes, those are monthly units, so you never know what’s going to be available at any given time
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 Yes ok Kevin guess ill just have to wing it when i come . stay at ahotel till something good open up.ok keep up the good work
Hi good evening , can you tell me where is this place ? Becouse im looking apartment thanks
These are the JTJM Apartments. The phone number: (0927) 399 6696
Curfew and no visitors! Is it a halfway house?
That's a deal killer. Not for me.
@@rustynail3630 -Exactly, it kills the deal for me also.
For Covid only.
I asked him about that and he didn’t know anything about it. He’s never had an issue coming or going, or had issues with guests. Maybe that was something during Covid
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 -Could be. I wouldn't want to live there.
Thank you for the info
Thanks Marcelle!
Hello is it possible for me to rent a one bedroom with ensuite for a month, so I can see how I like dumaguete for a possible long term rental thanks
Absolutely Joe, what I recommend is going to Airbnb. You get a discount for a month, all utilities are included, and it will be fully stocked with everything you need. That’s what I did
This is shocking--no guests allowed (as indicated on the sign at the entrance).
That’s not enforced, and my buddy didn’t even know about it until other viewers brought this up. Perhaps it was something they did during Covid. He’s never had an issue coming or going, or having any guests come and go
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 That's good to know. I was also thinking that sign may have only been enforced during the times when covid was bad and restrictions appeared in other places too.
i run a 2 bedroom apartment i fridge and freezer, washing machine, electric oven i run 4 fans 2 lounge if i,m home all day they are runing only use one in my room as its a 7 blader my powerbill is under 3000peso a month
Here in Dumaguete?
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 yes i,m living in Calindagan
You didn't delete the first try...
Nice looking place but too bad they didn't put split ac units in. Big mistake in my opinion. Good video
Yes, that is my friend’s biggest complaint is that little unit only cools the bedroom
Thats a rip off my babe is renting in bogo cebu a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom with laundry room plus 24 hr guard for only 8000 pesos mth.
That’s Cebu, not Dumaguete, not even the same island. It’s cheaper to live in Cebu because of availability. I’m sure I can look on another island and find a better deal than what your girl is getting. Just like in the country you live in. It’s all relative. Thanks for watching!
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 well it depends where in cebu you live mactan newtown its not cheap but mandaue and lapu lapu are .
@Bernard Brown Depends where you live and on the owner renting it. My 1 bedroom apartment is the equivalent of 170,000 pesos or $3,000 USD. I can go to the high crime ghetto near me and get a similar apartment for $2k a month, then if I go all the way to the middle of the country I can get an entire house for $900-$1400 a month but theres absolutely nothing around, no jobs, nothing to do, and the weather sucks. Location is everything.
@@bernardbrown2054 which is exactly what he described in his reply.
@@leebomccool8997 i get it dude ok
How to can I contact the owner please?
Good place for a single guy. Looking for a 3 bedroom house with a nice yard? 😊😊😊😊
Thanks for watching Mighty! Yes, he says he has no complaints
690 if you watch old dog I think he did a vid on a friend with a compound that might have what you're looking for.
Is there available unit?
A lot of foreigners live in this area which will push the price up.
Yes Ian, it’s a pretty good location. 10 minutes from Dumaguete, 10 minutes from Valencia, and about 10 minutes to Dauin
can you find another one like Mark n Jens place?
I’ll try, thanks for watching!
What's involved with getting a driver's licence if you have a US driver's license?
Go down to the DL license place and apply. Pretty simple. I don’t see the need to get one though
Seems way too expensive for the Philippines for that tiny place. If it was ocean front maybe I could see it
Thanks for watching Rick! If you know the name of a cheaper apartment complex in Dumaguete with car parking, let me know the name. I’ll go do a video there😉
Name of the apartment please every clean in peaceful..
They added a generator about 3 months ago making it even better 😉
Wow 13k a month looks like it should be 7 or 8 max that's expensive dont care how secure or what area its in
Thanks for watching! If you know of an apartment complex in Dumaguete that has car parking for 7 or 8000 pesos, let me know the name. I’ll make a video there😉
@@keepyournoseout1569 they don’t impose the curfew, and like I said….give me a name and I will go and do a video there. Where do you live? I’ll come and do your place
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 lol I've lived in mactan cebu I've lived in manila I've lived in Thailand im back in London now will be moving back to the philippines in 4 years permanently thats why I've been watching closely your videos and other channels keeping up with current prices just my opinion no need to get your knickers in a twist I just think 13k is way over priced with your electric and other bills wifi food ect ect you going to be looking at over 20k a month I've lived in much better for less in better and much bigger for less like I say just my opinion appreciate your efforts giving us the insight though
@@keepyournoseout1569 it’s actually cheaper to live in Cebu than it is in Dumaguete because of more availability. I have friends there, that that like you said, live in nicer places for less money. I do appreciate you watching and I’ll try and find some places that are more economical.
@@keepyournoseout1569 In 4 years you may be paying more than 20k for less than that but you're kicking the tires now and making comments on living costs a half decade from now? Should have minded your handle.
Where is this place.
The Dumaguete/Bacong line
im looking for something in Valencia or Dumaguete i should be coming there around the first of the year about 10 to 13 k if you can get me some leads it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for watching Bobby! I am meeting with my realtor this morning. I’ll see what they have. I’m pretty much at their mercy
Hi may I know which part in Dumaguete..
Sta Monica Rd and the national highway in southern Dumaguete….almost to Bacong
is safety really a concern in dumaguete
No, it’s mainly petty crimes like theft. I’ve had a helmet stolen off my bike, but nothing serious. You’re safe here as long as you stay out of politics and away from drugs.
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 thats so true tim! just like when i visited cebu city, told the taxi driver, no politics please.
Where is it located?
Thanks for watching RAF! This is basically on the Dumaguete/Bacong line, right off the national highway
I think I already saw this apartment on somebody else's channel. I think p13,000 is a good price and it's a good location. The only thing I would never want is a bathroom that has no separation between the shower and the rest of the bathroom. Take a shower and the whole damn thing is wet. But apart from that, I think it's nice as a starter's place.
You can install a rod and shower curtain, it should solve the issue.
👍🏻
$200+ for that? Seems pricey to me.
Thanks for watching Neil! That’s what you have to pay if you want to live in that location. Supply and demand
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 had a 36sqm condo in "The Base" Central Pattaya for $300m recently.
@@neildutton8077 exactly….not even the same island. If you want to live where this apartment is, then it’s actually a bargain. Trying to tell you….supply and demand
@@neildutton8077 if you’re in the US, would you pay more to live in NYC than you would to live in Omaha Nebraska? Supply and demand people!!!!! Don’t just look at the apartment! LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!!!!!

Yeah man, it’s crazy how fast the little channel is growing. I’m very grateful to everyone who has helped it get to where it is
We need the lowdown as to where the PH government is headed on marijuana legislation over the next couple of years please.
The Philippines are normally about a year behind Thailand, who has legalized weed. Last I saw was a bill was pushed to legalize medicinal marijuana at the end of February
just what they need is more dope heads lol
I’m hoping the Philippines never legalises it ever.
It’s unnecessary and invites the criminal element.
The Philippines is great the way it is.
They need to keep western ideas and ways out.
I’m sick of people coming here and trying to change it.
If you don’t like the Philippines the way it is then stay in the west.
@@prepperjonpnw6482 Yeah I don't really think there are any Westerners in the Philippines gov. making marijuana laws. Filipinos make their own laws.
Hi Sir , how i can contact the owner of this apartment , i come nex month to sleep dumaguete , and also i'am a new Subsciber !!!!
Thanks Roland! I apologize for the late response. It’s the JTJM Apartments. Their number is +639273996696
Its ok . Thank you so much !!!
I don’t understand. Thailand is much better.
That’s your opinion, which I respect. People here like that they speak English, they can read the language, Americans like they drive on the right side of the road, and the Philippines government is much more receptive to foreigners. I’ll definitely take Thai food, and their infrastructure over the Philippines any day though 😉
@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 True those are fantastic reasons. But most professional Thai understand English. Plus you can buy a translator
If you are a Brit, Thailand is a no, no for retirees, you will not receive your annual state pension increase, in the Philippines you will...
