Thanks for watching Jim! It really was a great place. Since everything was included, it was easy to know what your monthly budget was going to be

Thanks for watching pathkris! Fortunately most places do fall into the range that you are looking for. I’ll get some others up soon

@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 Thank you and appreciate it. I hope you have a great time and enjoy your retirement to the fullest.

Thank you Jeff!!!!! I can’t believe how fast the channel has taken off

Thanks for watching nick! Thailand definitely has better infrastructure, medical, and in my opinion food BUT most people speak English in the Philippines, people here are more friendly towards foreigners, and the drive on the same side of the road as the US. I was seriously considering Chiangmai. You’re right, it just comes down to your preference

King nick

Thank you for watching Brian! I’ll get some more options up soon. Are you considering the Dumaguete area?

Thank you for watching Gary! I’ll try and get some more videos on places soon. Thanks for the suggestion

Thanks John!

👍🏻

Thanks for supporting the little channel Bill! I’m glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for watching John! I appreciate it. That’s what I’m trying to do, is let people see what rent prices are today. A lot of people are throwing COVID rent prices at me, and they aren’t there anymore

Thanks for watching and subscribing napolean! We really did like the place, and it was great knowing EXACTLY what your expenses were going to be….food, gas for the bike, and laundry was it

Thanks for watching EMCB! The reason I say this place is a great deal is because everything’s included. I had 2 air conditioners going full blast 24 hours per day. Electricity is VERY expensive. Most of my friends only run their ACs at night to keep their electric bills down.

Thanks for watching Kelly! Yes, they make some good money, but I cut into their profits because I ran both ACs 24 hours/day and electricity is very expensive here

Thanks for watching bucket list! I understand the way you feel.

Thanks for watching ISSAY! Yes, but then you have to live in Manila😉. I’ll take the slower paced beach life any day

Thanks for watching Simon! Yes, and they also have their own trike that u can rent for the day. It was 400 PHP when we lived there for 8 hours!

Thanks for watching Long Thanh!

@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 Long is my Vietnamese partner

Thanks for watching Gericornista! Yes, you are right…..but if you’re like me, you won’t be in your yard much. I pretty much only slept at home. I have met SOOO many new friends and we are out doing things all day!

Yes, it would have been better if they kept the yard better maintained, that’s for sure but all the care taker has is a weed eater. They don’t even have rakes here. They literally sweep up the grass

If owners were to be "concerned" about property appearance then rental prices would be way higher than they are.

@@dumaguetedreaming Not necessarily - labor is so cheap ? - A little would go along way. -?-

@@frankkluz9787 And since labor is so cheap what do you think is holding the owner back from employing that labor?

@@dumaguetedreaming Matters not what 'I think' - matters what he does and if the people are satisfied who live there ? - I wouldn't be as is but it wouldn't take that much ? The rest of the place is terrific.

Thanks for watching! Do you live in the Dumaguete area? I’m open to meeting new people and collaborating

Bacong

Sure I'm not far from the 7/11 in Bacong

Yep, all you basically have to budget for is food and transportation

Nope, those walls were thick. I didn’t notice any noises from next door(I had a corner unit), but then again I had my ACs on full blast 24/7

Brownouts can be annoying, but I just go to river, Forest Camp, Tierra Alto or somewhere with friends and have a few beers and swim

Thanks for watching Acacio! Not sure where you are from, but this is what most Philippine places look like

@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 CANADA

👍🏻 Yes, the Dumaguete area has one of, if not the most dense populations of foreigners in the Philippines

Thanks for watching murray! I spend most of my time at the beach, river, or Forest Camp. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t come here to sit at home!!! I’ve got 10-12 great new friends and we are “somewhere” EVERYDAY! 28,000 to have a set budget was very comforting, I don’t have to worry about a $450 electric bill because the grid was stressed. Electricity is EXPENSIVE here

Thanks for watching and subscribing Alecks, you are correct. It takes 1K subscribers and 4000 viewing hours to get monetized. I’ve got a ways to go, but I’ve been growing quickly everyday thanks to people like you! Go ahead and skip the ads if you want to😉

@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 no way,i want to support your channel,thats why ,no skipping ads!

​@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 it is quite a bold move to start a channel in the Philippines atm and hope to make money. Looks like there is way too much competition. Every person who lands in the Philippines has YT in mind as a way to fund their travel or complement their SS

@@last_samurai6690 yes, I think it’s a requirement to get a travel visa in the Philippines now.😂 Fortunately I don’t do it for the money. My girlfriend gets all of mine because she does all of the editing and posting. I mainly do this because I can’t send videos longer than 45 seconds(at least I don’t know how) from my iPhone. When you see videos like the gym or the crematorium or apartments, it’s because someone requested it. I’m going to do a video on the 4th(1 month since being monetized) showing how much I made. It’s actually ridiculous once you see the math. You really need a lot of views to make any real money. I had coffee with Mike from “Mikes Philippine Retirement” and not sure if he was kidding or not, but he said “he’s just trying to make $20/day” and I believe he has over 15K subscribers and a ton of videos

The street noise was negligible. They had 2 roosters on the property, but I slept with a “white noise” app, so I didn’t hear anything

Thanks for watching! Yes, I thought the price was fair considering EVERYTHING was included. It’s easy to stick to your budget like that

@@TooMuchTimeonmyHands65 I like to see more with a 1 bedroom apartment or condo with price.

👍🏻

I don’t blame you Roy. The best thing about that place was EVERYTHING was included. I ran both, my upstairs and downstairs air conditioners on high 24 hours a day. Electricity is VERY expensive here. I’ve been in some friend’s places and they only run the AC when they are sleeping, so it’s not that comfortable

Thanks for supporting the channel keepyournoseout! Actually when you factor the electric is included….and I ran both of my AC units…1 upstairs and one downstairs, free internet, cooking gas, water(with pump so you have running water during a brownout, and up to 2 big bottles per week of drinking water PLUS being in a great safe and quiet location….$500 was a pretty good deal. Covid is over….prices are going up my friend!

Furnished accommodation with 1.5 bathroom for $515/month isn't bad at all, especially if all the essential bills are included. We're seriously interested, for when we next go there.

Don't forget that is Airbnb prices which he was able to eventually negotiate lower. I have been in some Airbnb that only had an Aircon in just one bedroom for the same price.

Thanks John, can’t wait till you come back. Looking forward to visiting Bohol!
