Just finished watching your Blog it’s always fun and entertaining 👍🇺🇸

Keep your head up Michael & DB...find what is acceptable 100 % and reasonable.

The best way to do to own house here in the Philippines are to buy a land property,and build your own house .in the province the cost of land are not so high and you can choose beautiful view etc...and you can do whatever tou want.bcoz most of the foreigners here owned their land

The 1st place in your other vlog in Jaro was nice and new too.

It’s tempting to flip houses in the Philippines. So many houses need renovation. Then sell it at a profit

The two homes featured here were obviously refurbnished by the owners rather organically. Yes, the single detached rental housing market is tight. Most rentals are apartments or condominiums. Most single detached homes are new and for sale. These are almost all out of town too, like Pavia, San Miguel, Oton and Leganes. The place you visited near a hospital in Jaro in a previous video is actually a short walk from the main bus terminal heading north to Boracay. Numerous city bus slash jeepney routes start from that terminal too.

Love this house hunting series!🤠

You'll definitely score a nice spot for $400. I found a 3 bed, 3 bath, full roof deck with gated Parking in Taguig near McKinley Hills. It took like 4 months of hitting the bricks like you guys are doing - But if I can land a deal here, you can definitely hook one there.

Hey there :D I live here in iloilo and i just found your channel. Im also looking for my own appartment and this really helps, ill be checking around if there's one that suits my taste. Thanks for the content my man😁

i can clearly see the point and its right like a sun shine straight line 👍👍

Keep looking guy's it will come when least expected !

Awesome 👏

I'm sorry, Michael, about the first house, the ceiling is too low for you. Also being too close in proximity to your landlords is not really a good thing. Also the second one 's toilet without a faucet on the sink and a shower? Honestly? Forget it! I'm sure you can find better places. I'll pray for both of you!

Maybe, best thing get a realtor for you guys to find easier and more choices good luck and for sure you can find a new house to rent love your vlog you guys are amazing ❤

It looks nice! I mean the first one. I hope you'll be comfortably lives in your new place to be. Good luck! Also, they offered you a very good price for the rent! I think it is a very friendly price. 😎👌

Sending pull support bro have a good day

You can eat mud crabs Michael, chilli mud crab is very popular here in Darwin NT Australia mate I highly recommend that dish very yummy 😋

wow awesome beautiful place

crazy thing is to make it higher during construction costs next to nothing..just a couple more rows of blocks.

I would rather stay in the taller building beside the smaller house. Top floor for me for sure, the balcony is awesome. It looks newer and cleaner.

Still haven't figured out How you chose Iloilo as your Homebase ?? There's plenty of other places where you can definitely afford a nice Western style home and services.. 🎉

Amazing sheridan resort🔥

Man i hope you guys find a house soon. Its' the Philippines, so everyone will try to help no doubt on that. God bless

Now Michael if you were 5ft like me, you would have no issues with showers. Might struggle reaching high shelves but it's a balance 😂😅 Keep looking and be patient, I'm sure John & his family want u to find a great place so don't jump into somewhere too quick. The right place is there just waiting to be found I'm sure. The Sheridan place looks very nice - another hidden gem discovered. Good hunting to u both - sending lots of good luck 😊 xxx

Have you looked into some High Rise Condo blocks. They are $500/month, but are really lavish from what you are looking. Pool, Weight Room, Spa, Local Malls...has everything.

Watching your blog from janiuay,iloilo

And, also the neighborhood looks good.

just get a monthly rate at a hotel and take your time to find the best place. I stayed at a hotel for 20k php in Dumaguete for a month until i found my beachfront home.

Hello !! Long term rental for condominium unit in iloilo city is good for you.complete amenities a & safe for both of you.

Villa Arevalo is really a good area as it doesn't flood as much as other areas

lovely bali theme resort.

Get a house not too far from the main road. Coz most of the businesses are on the main/major roads. Likewise, when buying something, food or anything to commute going to stores won't be a big issue. Consider also somehow near to public market.

That’s always an issue with being 6’. Looked at quite a few homes and came upon many of the same issues. Very different thinking.

Alas there seem to be many rough houses for rent …. How about a condo unit within a new large condo from some company like Megaworld or SMDC? I feel unless you get lucky…. Renting a unit in a house could be a big challenge…. Thanks Mark Euringer

I hope someday, future homeowners do the architectural standard ceiling heights, bathroom and kitchen especially Philippines is a tropical country.

Iloilo has so many beautiful places which is just a stone away n not to expensive.

look for a rental house with own electric and water meter and not submeters coz usually landlords add more than what you expect to pay for the bills.

Go with the renovated house. Cleaner, less bugs, maybe they even got the electrical circuits right 🙃

Davina wasn’t there for the Santa Cruzan cruisin’, (luv that phrasing btw)….So she missed the sweetie pie princess astride the UNICORN!

There's more beautiful places in southern part of Iloilo from Oton to San joaquin..I hope you could come and visit too..😊

I sure hope you both can find a appropriate home to rent soon. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Here in Pampanga you can find renting house. They are very nice

They usually use poor quality of faucets, in the shower washbasins and lavatory etc. I say this as per my experiiencebinmy house hunting and during my renting. It was a new apartment. but in a matterbof three days. The shower head telephone type was damage.

BYO aircon 🙀 first time for everything

adding atleast 1 count on your subscribers and not skipping ads. its the least i can do for you guys im sorry for what happen to you with your previous house and the place owner. hope i made a little help with you

Plan a house for you and for Bianca's Mom she can return to... on Canada's harsh winters...

Oh my so sorry you hot a hard time looking tor a place i couldnt offer mine because it needs repair and takes a while hope you can get one if its 400 dollars might as well look for a condo

Hi guys found a house on Facebook that looks nice

Mostly of the houses in the suvdivision are fancy looking but of not of good quality materials used.

GET A PORTABLE AC UNIT THAT YOU CAN VENT OUT THE ON WINDOW, FOR THE PRICE ITS RIGHT

nice place but the ceilings are WAY low, that open wall to the stockroom is not good, and the fact tht you gain access to the CR by going thru the bedrooms...not so good.

Greetings guys! I’m from Guam, u s territory to your east about 4 hours. I too like you guys will be leaving Guam, (retired) towards end of this year. Therefore, I was wondering what part of the Philippines have you chosen to set up camp, I’m assuming you’re not there forever? But have enjoyed your vids and believe they have been helpful with things to think about when that time comes. Thank you, Your neighbor to the east Guam

KEEP SEARCHING YOU WILL FIND ONE !

Reminds me of Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever".. Looks like a NO GO Zone to me Bro.. You just left 1 rental trap.. No need jumping into another.

Try to ask your friends in Iloilo for available house to rent.

You guys should add some protections for yourselves in the next lease because the leases here in the Philippines favor the landlord far too much. I was staying at an Airbnb that I really liked and wanted to extend my stay with a 6 month lease but I made sure to add protections for myself after the landlord didn’t seem interested in replacing the broken water heater. So after telling them I would no longer be giving them 6 months in advance, and making amendments to the proposed lease, the water heater replaced within a few days. What I added was: The lessee will notify the lessor of any issues with the property and if the lessor does not resolve those issues within 30 days then the lessee has the right to terminate the lease and the lessor will immediately return all deposits. The 30 day clock starts at the moment of notification. In the event that an issue arises that isn’t within the lessors control, like natural events or pests (I’m in a condo so roaches are a concern), the lessee has the right to terminate the contract after 30 days if the issue isn’t resolved with the immediate return of half the deposit. I didn’t think it was fair that the lessor be punished for natural events so I only required half the deposit. Just make sure the lease is fair to both parties. I also made clear that the landlord is responsible for all repairs and replacement of items that come with the property, as long as those damages aren’t at the fault of the lessee.

Don't Rush just keep looking

I say keep looking

Are Single Story houses or Ground Floor apartments available? I had too many ear infections as a kid...

So Michael if I am understanding correctly, you have limited options because of the price range you desire?

HD a brand new house in dasma 130 wow did rent go up there

Pick a good one. Explore Iloilo muna. Try Pavia also.

Go to mandaluyong, we have condo there and it’s in good location. We can give you a deal , I don’t intentionally trying to rent it out but you guys are looking trustworthy renters. Is it fully furnished and renovated

Try another City....travel. explore. Dont get tied down... yet!! Baguio, Davao, Puerto Princessa. 🎉

No hood fan for stove that is so weird compared to canada it's fire hazard here

I suggest you go to Bacolod City, there are lots of houses to chose from.

House hunters 👍👍👍

Phase 1 sir.. im from villa as well

Sheridan is indeed a secret place. Only true locals know that place. Try to look appartments more in arevalo area like sto.domingo and sta.cruz near mohon terminal.

How are the mosquitos in the Philippines? I would imagine that you would be swatting them away if you had dinner in that restaurant.

I think what you’re looking for is in the 500 to 700 a month price range, but I could be wrong…..

First house is low ceiling and it's lacking in natural light.

So you're in my district now. And walking around my subdivision. Haha

You can also take consideration moving to Bacolod.. lots of choices near the city proper.

Just my opinion but you are both young,you should be moving back to Canada and securing your future and consider moving to the Philippines when you are older and are able to buy or build your own home ..Renting doesn't get you anywhere,as you would know...just my opinion

Type Market Place... Then Type House For Rent ILOILO Then you will see all Hoyse fir Rent Places here in ILOILO...

Rent is so high....here in cavite u can ren 10 thou

Puerto Real, Iloilo City?

Don’t the builders follow code? Those ceilings are too low.

Be patient finding a place that place sucks, you just stayed at your freinds it's not even close to overstating if you think that their not your freinds

The people are super nice at the first house but it's really just not a good fit.

as i said try to look at Westwood

Why don't you look for a condo unit instead? Find a place that is accessible to you

Make sure landlords don't take advantage of you both being foreigners. They might rent it to you double or triple if it were locals

Hi guys! Dont give up! Just a suggestion. Why dont you move to another nearby provinces to give u more options. What about thinking to move in manila or makati. Gazillion choices of condominium residences own by SMDC within your $300 to 400 monthly budget for rent. Plus will give you more ideas for your future vlog content. Just another idea.

Check first termites, learn your lesson, don't sign for 6 or one year lease???

Just get the land build a house your own instead renting js ^.^👍 good for retirement plan in the future 👍

What about rent a house in Manila? 🤔

Buy a lot Ang build a house that's good for you!

Are u in cebu

Seems expensive for barely adequate housing.

You are forgetting to check for TERMITES

The ceiling is too low and I don't understand these people, they're renting out their place yet don't even bother clearing out their stuff and cleaning the place to make it look presentable. Also I don't know why it's not a priority for Filipinos to invest in nice beds. The beds always have thin cheap mattresses that are just rolled up hence it's like they won't even appeal to you. It is not a priority too to have toilet seats. It is so uncomfortable to sit on a toilet without any seat.

15,000P a month to rent that place is a steal especially if they fix the plumbing.

You can actually find a $200 house or even less

If your wife is flipino wlhy you guys dnt look for a property to buy and buuld a house if your long term plan is dyay in Philippines

You're not too tall, the CR is too short.

It is too pricey

Just curious why you guys are so set on staying in Iloilo, if all the doors were slamming on me I would leave, but thats me.

😎👍🇺🇲
