I live in Cebu 3 years now. When I got here in 2018 I rented a Room at *THE ISLAND STAY HOTEL for 1 week and started walking around asking people about apartments for Rent. Within 3 days I found a nice 2 bedroom apartment in the Subdivision of FABRO HILLS ( across the street from the New Bridge going into Mandaue and not far from the Airport ) for 10,000 pesos. Today in 2022 I live up North in very nice 3 bedroom house in the Province of Balamban, Brgy. Pondol. *I am on a $1,500 usd. MONTHLY BUDGET... AND BELIEVE ME "I LIVE LIKE A KING" !!! -> 63 year old N.Y.C. 🇵🇷 BRONX BOY, U.S. ARMY RETIRED...

I was fine in a 26 meter place in Thailand. Sure bigger is nicer but if on a smaller budget and able to get your rent way down you can spend the money on experiences you like doing. $1000 rent in the US> $100 in the PI, 400 dollar car payment> $1200 scooter outright in the PI. Might be a small place but a guy on a say $1500 budget gets his freedom back. Coffee shops, eating out, local travel, etc. All within reach due to lowering the big overhead items.

For a single new arrival man , who is looking for somewhere to stay while he finds his feet . They are perfect

Wow that is SO inexpensive. It's small, sure, but if you're on a $1500-$2000 budget that sure gives you a lot of money back for whatever else you want or need to do. Great video. Thank you for showing it to us.

Wow! Super nice! Really like this. $170 furnished w/ ac? That's crazy! Thanks for sharing. Gonna' keep this place in mind.

If there are any of these apartments still available in early April, I’d surely be interested. They look perfect for a single guy.

Freaking Awesome!! Nowhere in this world can you find a great deal like that!!

So neat and clean apartment concept design, the choosing floor and wall tiles, the kitchen tiles, black compliments the interior colors... The design, the front door, so perfect for me! The color you choose for exterior so wow factor✔️ I rate this, 9 out of 10✔️

Beautifully done! Great price and seems quiet!

Hi Steven, those places look great, if I was planning on coming over anytime soon I would consider them. Thanks for the video. Take care of yourself and your family. Stay safe and healthy plus have fun.

Great presentation of a really affordable apartment. 👍🏻

Thank you so much for the update. I was wondering about the upstairs. I guess the shower is cold water only but then there’s probably no such thing as cold tap water in the Philippines lol. Now that Scoot Airlines has started up again in Australia I’m getting itchy feet and might make that leap that I’ve been dreaming of.

Also thanks for providing the contact information.

Wow that is awesome thank you for sharing this Steve I was actually looking for a new apartment.

Nice for a beginner. Good video Steve!

Pretty🥰Thank you Steve👍❤🙏

😎👍 🇺🇸 Great starter place. Tiny but very clean. A fresh Xpat wouldn't have much crap anyway. ✌️ Cheers.

Very interested in these accommodation videos. Will be trying the Philippines out in 29 months & 23 days. Would appreciate even more of these. Thank you!

It’s beautiful 🙌🏼🔥

I would rent 2 apartments side by side make living room the whole kitchen and bedroom the dinning room & next door would be my living room & bedroom

Being able to see over the wall makes this the better of the two.

Little tiny place like a tiny house. All things make it very nice, so affordable too.

These will all be long gone by the time I get to the Philippines so please continue to look for this type of apartments. One of these would be a perfect for a few months while getting situated and learning the country.

I am impressed. We are moving and our new apartment is $1,650 USD plus the utilities.

Damn good value. Best time to rent is new units

Here we use factor of 14 to compute the HP rating of your AC. So if you got a 14 sqm area, you’d need a 1HP AC.

Thats a fine apartment for a hundred bucks, that fire extinguisher is a good idea for everyone, make sure it's charged. Thanks

Nice! Thanx for Showing.

A verry nice place, for a good price !

Nice 👍

Great place

Someplace like that would be a great place to rent just to have somewhere to dump your suitcases. If you wanted to travel you could leave your clothes and stuff there put on a backpack get on your scooter and go. Right now I’m thinking Valencia But I plan to travel around before I settle down anywhere.

The quality of this place actually seems superior to many more expensive (and bigger) places. While I would like some more space, I think I could be happy here for a while.

Beautiful

like i said in ur earlier vid., that brand spankin' new place is easily 2k usd here in so. cal.

That's an insane price. & No Roosters included. BARGAIN !!

I would definitely rent it while looking for something with a little more space.

I like that one I want to find apartments like that

I dont care about high end switches….. what about where would you fit a stove and refrigerator? Absolutely no storage either. It’s great for $100.00 though

Gorgeous

Waitin on award from settlement lookin at end of April. That said id love one of those units furnished.

Nice. Great videos.

So good

I’ve got the land and thinking to build a apartment, just not sure how much capital I need. I still have 20 years before I retire. I love passive income

I would take all four on top and that way I could allow visitors or move next door when the wife and I fight 😂🤣😂 very nice apartments.

would love to hear more about rentals like these (small,for singles) when they come available!

im going dizzy when i watch this vedio

Wow my son told me he lives in a small one bedroom in Toronto. He is paying $ 1700 a month and others in the area are $ 2300 a month.

That be perfect for me

very nice Steve. thats much much better in the apartment where i rent. but same price! i want to move out here and move in there if its ok with dogs

Very nice

Again lookin for answer...what is up everywhere I look everyone has bars on windows and doors? I wouldn't want to look out my window and see bars.

Steve still have available on September… I’m interested this place … I love it

Nice and the plugs are 3 prong grounded plugs, too. Some places I see only have the 2 prong plugs. You can't beat the price either. I'd go for one of the furnished units; that way, I won't have to worry about furniture when I have to move. So you are responsible for installing the a/c unit?

A little tight but not bad. Kitchen area.needs some cabinets. How's the general area. Is it close to shopping? Does it have transportation within walking distance? Any crime issues? And last but not least do the roosters sing, lol. It really looks nice, great job😀

correction for (IC) it's AC my mistake

I'd be pperfectly happy to pay 3 times that rent, for 2 times the space.

nice n affordable

A Filipino worker could afford to live there 👍

That place is more my style Steve

Wow go you quick work buddy should be sold out in a week 👌

super nice place for under 200. Its sad that Philippines is like South Africa where everyone has to have bars on their windows and gates around their houses.

Im pretty sure Rock Engineering built that...same as Calvin's architect

Ill take it

I like that place, it's top floor and everything. But does the dude with the drum set live in that building?

paupahan support community management

Where is the stove and fridge

Loving these type of places. Is it easy to find decent rentals for between $100-$150? Are there many expats near by or expat bars?

I know u were saying there a Abundance of gated communities. Can u give a few names to look up? Thanks 😊

what?... Hundred bucks a month! wtf am I doing here in Uhmerika... my monthly apartment here cost over a year there! LOL .... WTF! I'M GOING BACK HOME!

What the square feet or measurements of each unit

I have no idea where this place is in the Philippines.

Fans are 100 bucks?? Yikes..lol

Hello. How much was the cost of everything here? Thanks.

My RV has more room, this is nice but too small, hot water?

where is this

It's a cute unit... How's the expat community in the area?

pricy 5000php witn no microwave gasburner and a fridge! rent should be 4000php

How much did you spend all in all?

Yeah but your nabiours will be hard to live around

Question; If I get the SRRV, would I still need a student Visa to take college classes?

Same outlets as US?

How is the weather in this area? How safe is from extreme weather such as cyclones?

Você teria a planta desse prédio?

just curious, why are the outlets phenominal? not being snarky

What is the reason for the bars on the windows? Is crime pretty bad?

Any left to rent? Looks like a great place to start.

So inspired to this apartment . May I know the sq meter of this 1 room ?20sq meter? Hope for response

still available fully furnished

I will consider that for a short term while looking for a house ..It's a big savings on my pocket . May I know the address ?

Would u mind.. Whats d floor area of every unit, and hm the total cost of ur apartment? Thanks

Location po my bakante pa po ba?

I don’t get those showers that don’t even have a transition or separator from the toilet. 🤷‍♂️🙄

Do you mind sharing how many square foot is the apartment unit? Thanks!

No closets? where do you put your clothes?

hi what is the size of each individual appartment?

Are there 2 bedroom units in this complex ?

How ma y sqm?

why do you always say the American toilet? 1775 Scottish inventor Alexander Cumming was granted the first patent for the self-flushing toilet :)
