In this video, I do a walk-through on a cheap Philippine house rental outside Bacolod City. It is the best of both worlds: close to a major metropolis while allowing you to maintain cheap living in the Philippines. This Philippine house rental is an example for foreigners who need to maintain a low monthly budget.
I released this video a while back, but I wanted to post it again as a reference point for the next new video I am working on.

I think you nailed it. live in a small cramped condo of live in a small, but much larger, free standing home. If you're on a budget then just being a little out of town helps a lot in not going out as much and spending. Also having a roomier home tends to help in not going out as much too. Regarding the aircon, I can't see the hole in the wall being a problem for the owner....but yeah, those portable ones will cool that small bedroom nicely although will take up floor space.
@imexpatbill 7 ай бұрын
I haven't gone by there for a while so I am not sure how well the portable air con is holding up. Window air con is definitely the way to go. I have a heart for my generation of boomers who are living on a fixed income, trying to make ends meet. For some, becoming an expat and living in another country might be an option and I try to show some of that.

Hey Bill, nice informative video. I don't think you need to build up rapport with the landlord for a year. Just a make clear contract, noticify him of everything, let him have a look, recommend you a few workers to paint and cut the aircon hole and finally, let him keep the aircon unit after you leave. That would sweeten the deal for him for sure.
@imexpatbill 6 ай бұрын
Thanks for viewing. I am sure you could work out some sort of deal with her (landlord). Not sure the person who is renting this place now will put any type of money into it. Really nothing a landlord loves more, than a tenant who takes care of the place and improves it. Before we built our first house, we lived in Bacolod City and the landlord almost cried when we told them we were moving. We left the place better than we moved in, air con holes, screen doors, a flower garden in the front, etc. I think the cost was 8K per month for a two-bedroom two two-bath place with a fenced-in yard and that was over 12 years ago, not sure what it would cost now.

Actually I think a lot of foreigners get caught up in the look of the outside of the place, we are used to siding, colorful paints, houses made of wood. Here in the tropics with typhoons, heavy rains and earthquakes you want a place that can stand and stay high and dry. Naturally the more money you have, the more you are custom to a different lifestyle. The place may not look great but it's in a gated subdivision with fiber internet available, big pluses in my book.
@franktaylor7617 4 ай бұрын
@@imexpatbill I totally agree. For a long term stay. One has to be able to adapt. Be able to see the potential. Like I said, that's a great fixer upper. After a month of improvements. Could be really comfortable. If I come to live there. I think I'd want a inexpensive homebase and travel around a lot. Making a rental comfortable for yourself is a pretty common theme in the Phils. I don't think people understand that. I had to adapt to several different places on my last trip. Most of the inconveniences were kinda comical. I hope to return this fall.

do they still chloroform people in their beds at night when they rob your house? in 1963 we lived outside clark AFB had a guard service that was in on the robbery they pretty much got everything I remember my dad being upset that they got his good suits and liquor...they took the family dog as a dinner treat as well . I was 7yo and remember the daily earthquake tremors as well with the furniture dancing around the room ....and rosie the maid ironing her hair with beer and shining the hardwood floors dancing on half a coconut shell. ah the good ole days eh!

@@imexpatbill those portable AC are not efficient because they are sucking in the cold air they produce from the room instead of drawing it in directly from outside into the chiller. and the negative pressure (from sucking) pulls in warm outside air into the room through cracks around the windows and doors.

@@kevinwelsh7490 I think you are correct in the sense it sucks in the cold air it produces. From what I can tell, the vent to the window blows out hot air like a hair dryer to evaporate any accumulating condensation.

I know somebody who has a portable aircon, spent about 200 USD on it. You need to run a vent to the window which blows out hot air and the condensation. He says it cools a small room but is a pain in the ass to move around. Not sure of the lifespan of such a thing, way better to get a window aircon with inverter.
