If I rent just with minimum furniture I pay 1 month deposit. If the condo is really fully furnised with complete kitchen and AC and washing machine I agree with 2 months deposit. All depend of the value of the place you rent.
Good walk-around Will look into older condos with more space. Saw some good deals with Airbnb. High electric for townhouse is a deal breaker . Living at townhouse brings more disturbances . People selling stuff, kids playing . Like condos no one bothering.
Good points about townhouses Hong Island. That is why I shy away from them. Just agreed to keep the same place for the same rent going on 3 years, so I am happy.
Manila condo developers were constructing 20 sqm condos in 2010. My guess is that developers outside of Manila have learned to increase profits by selling smaller but more condo units in same-size buildings.
Always watching and always listening and always learning and enjoying.. Rod you are like Farmers insurance.. you know a thing or two about the Philippines because you have seen a thing or two..👍👍👌👌🐊🐊🤗😎🍺🍻... Hello from south Louisiana and I can tell you about the weather, that it is much hotter here in the summertime than it is there any time.. I live and was born and raised in a little town on the bayou between baton rouge and New Orleans.. we also get the same amount of rain as Cebu.. 👍 thanks 👍👌👌🤗😎🍺🍻
LOL! Experience is a good thing Richard and I continue to learn. I ahe been through that part of Louisiana many years ago and understand the "hot and humid" that you get.
When you say that an ATM or bank will only give you about 10k is that for the transaction or for the entire day?, Good walk I'm guessing morning traffic.
First, consider the limit your bank puts on you for withdrawals in a day Tony and the time zone difference. I think many banks here just limit you to a certain amount per transaction. I had a friend make 5 transactions in a row at one ATM bank at 10k each for 50K pesos. Not sure if they all will.
What is your thoughts on City Suites? I have a friend that lives in Solinea T1 and is interested in moving into those condos? I am in Padget Place. Found a month-to-month thru Rentpad. Found out about Rentpad from you! Thanks again!
I have mixed feelings about City Suites also called Ramos Tower Sylvester. I have lived there 2 years. I like the location and views from high up. They have raised the condo dues twice in 6 months per sq meter: 62 to 75 to 100, which is very high for an older building with no pool and a small gym. I have a good landlord or would move to a larger place. Crowne Regency owns and manages it and they seem to not want to be bothered by maintenance issues as condos facing south get water in the units when a strong south storm comes in. Here is a video: studio.th-cam.com/users/videoGjP-A4P6IS4/edit
I have read it was about $1500 Rich but there was an increase this years, so probably closer to $1650 for an average. Some make much less and some much more.
You were approaching Horizon 101, was there last week. HSBC, I approached (Cebu) as I have an account In the UK. They want 3,000,000php deposit now to open an account That's £45.000 ($53.695.68) BDO etc only require 10,000php for a full account. The old HSBC account that some have was discontinued 2 years ago, so I was told In branch (Cebu).
You have found a good deal Jim. There are lots of options. Just looked at their official website. Interesting info: cityofcauayan.gov.ph/know-cauayan-city/ Have you had any issues with typhoons yet? One day I hope to visit all of Luzon.
My wife and i rarely give money away to strangers on the street. Our reasoning is, if you consistently do this, there is a good possibility of running out of money for your own needs and those of your immediate family. Beggars are not my problem, they were there before i went there and will be there after i die, LoL.
I am coming there next week to retire. I am being forced to get the shot because It is almost impossible to get the anti-gen test in Ontario CA. Luckily I think, the CDC now says you only need one shot. This shows what I will do to escape the chaos of the US to get to happiness.
I was there last month I could not find condo for short time and price was very high I end up go to Mactsn New town that I did not like to far from Atala mall I never stay in cebu city anymore
I would really prefer seeing modest - even frugal - studios for the lower priced seekers out here ! -- Lots of talk about low cost living yet rent mostly for higher priced rentals ? - Makes no sense to be giving $300 & up if your trying to live on maybe $800 - $900 ? --- Wish someone would focus on some decent studios ?!? --- Frugal is necessary for many and desired by many others ! -- And it much wiser to save as much as possible especially on a low budget. --?--
@@AmazingPhilippines1 Very good - keep your eyes open & show them when possible. Many on those low incomes are watching & they need it worse than most ? - They will appreciate it & so do I !
Please get to the point talk about condo prices and where some one can find good condo price for short time You are talking about everything that are not useful to who want to come to cebu
There is this new technology called the internet. On the internet there are these incredibly helpful sites like Air BnB, Agoda, and Travelocity that have listing and prices and availability. It’s amazing what you can find online if you actually took 2 minutes to search. Next time, don’t be an a$$ and listen to what he actually says in the video. He mentions a few places you can look and inquire. Price is negotiable most of the time like he mentioned in the video. Do some searching for yourself and you will be amazed at how easy it is to find information these days.
Another interesting internet technology: You can increase the speed of the video to 1.75 or even 2.0, yes really, using the nifty wheel at the bottom of the video screen. Works wonders.
@US MAN. Did you know my friend Rod who produces many interesting videos of life in the Philippines, does so voluntarily and receives no renumeration apart from You Tube, for his efforts.
25000 a month, is not exactly a great deal, given u are stuck in a lease, what exactly do u get fir 25000 month, or does it include all utilities at that price??

Good info. Rental market has definitely picked up. In my experience it is easier to find tenants and rates have increased to pre-pandemic levels. 👍
There are lots of options Michael but still a very high vacancy rate in most buildings.
If I rent just with minimum furniture I pay 1 month deposit. If the condo is really fully furnised with complete kitchen and AC and washing machine I agree with 2 months deposit. All depend of the value of the place you rent.

Good video. That's a good place to stop your video and have a beer. Its been really hot for about 2 weeks now finally got a little rain last night.
Yes, watched a little sports while cooling off. We had some dark clouds come over and it looked like rain today but they have passed on by.
Manila condo developers were constructing 20 sqm condos in 2010. My guess is that developers outside of Manila have learned to increase profits by selling smaller but more condo units in same-size buildings.
Interesting. Thanks for the info.
Thanks
Thanks Sami!

Quick question..if u rent those condos..how often do they increase the rent or if they ever do? Thank you
That would depend on your landlord Joel. I just convinced my landlord to keep the same rate for the 3rd year.
How about doing a video on buying a burial spot and casket in the Phil. All burial costs. I am coming over there and won't be leaving.
Good idea Robert. I know of a few expats who have "gone" that way in the last year.
Hi Rod, what is the average pension?
I have read it was about $1500 Rich but there was an increase this years, so probably closer to $1650 for an average. Some make much less and some much more.
Do you have a pool?
No pool, and only a small gym Robert.
@@AmazingPhilippines1 Thanks
Could you do a few rentals for under 8000 pesos in Cebu I don't mind living like the locals I'm not really into these condos. to be honest
In my experience I found Market Place to have lots of rentals at reasonable prices. Use $100 USD= P5000 pesos.
That is how I found my last place also Carl.

I have a Brit friend with an older HSBC account also Martin so I understand the problem.
I don’t think I’d walk with my back to traffic, sidewalks aren’t very wide at all…thanks for the video and be safe
Good point Billy but sometimes little options also.
You Should Buy A Condo Building And Invest Its A Very Good investment
I own a Condo in Talisay City. Would you have a estimate on amount of Rent could get Its fully furnished
I would check online and around your area to see what others are renting and figure out the average cost per square meter. Good luck.
There Guy That I Flew Back From The Philippines To The USA 🇺🇸 Said If The Condo Market Is Good He Would Investment
I like this neighborhood . Ideal for what I’m looking for
💡👍
😮😮😮😮
👍✅😊✅👍
Thanks Mr Macau!
I'm paying 4,600 on 22 square meters way up here in Cauayan city, Isabela...brand new
You have found a good deal Jim. There are lots of options. Just looked at their official website. Interesting info: cityofcauayan.gov.ph/know-cauayan-city/ Have you had any issues with typhoons yet? One day I hope to visit all of Luzon.
Sorry my friend i somehow deleted your channel...just been busy...but I'm back...
Can I reach out to you

Another YTber said that gas was more expensive in the Phil than in the US. I don't see that on the signs. Way cheaper. What is the true story?
I think most gas is between 60-70/liter here Robert. 65 pesos/liter is about $4.28 USD/gallon I think. There is just under 4 liters in a gallon.
@@AmazingPhilippines1 ok, about the same as the US.thanks

Our reasoning is, if you consistently do this, there is a good possibility of running out of money for your own needs and those of your immediate family.

Except for Filipinos. Understand.😮
One has to know what their budget is and live within it as you know Bob. There are so many needs here...and everywhere.

Utilities are extra Eamonn. About 30k total or $555 USD at the present exchange rate.
Pretty steep ...
I don't focus on price, I'm a stickler on "value"
Dollar price is one thing, value is totally different
