I don't normally comment, but the property is beautiful, the house is great and cozy... and your fiance is lovely. I wish, both of you, all the best!

Get rid of that BLACK roof . I used BOYSEN B8500 Reflecting White Cool Shades from Shopee on my galvanized already painted white roof and it made a world of difference keeping our house cooler. The inside of my house is almost 3 degrees cooler then before it was painted and I have no insulation in my attic . My house roof already had 2 coats of ordinary roof paint. Don't let anyone tell you to use a dark color on your roof or outside house walls. My house in the Philippines is known as the white house on the hill. Only thing left to paint white is the chocolate brown colored window frames . If you want to know more about keeping your house cool let me know.

My wife is from Leyte, Leyte. We are planing on moving there in September. We have a house in Ormoc City and a farm in Leyte, Leyte. We currently reside in Kent WA. I work in downtown Seattle. I think that makes us double neighbors, let's have coffee some place some time.

What’s up Bro, from Seattle! I’m Brannon and my Filipina wife is Elaine! I’m 41 years old she is 40. We met here in Seattle at work over 18 years ago. I’ve been to the Philippines 20 times, just got back 2 weeks ago we enjoyed Christmas and new years there in Cagayan De Oro City. I work 2 full time jobs almost 100 hours a week for 5 years as We built our house there, we are almost done building our 5 story Beach Hotel, that opens next year! We will move there next year finally! I had to build an Empire first to move at a younger age. Love your story! Happy for you guys! You’re doing it right! Hope to welcome you guys later at OHANA BEACH SUITES!

We did a similar fence… I was shocked how quickly the bamboo rotted at the grass. We left it all in place but then bought 3” orange pipe and filled them with concrete and a wee footing. Now it’s been in place for 2years

All the best. Indeed province life is absolutely peaceful. Enjoy and take care

You could buy a wall bed kit so your bed could convert into a desk when not using the bed. Then it could be your office and guest house without cluttering the small space there.

Just arrived @ your channel,and Im really impressed by your property set up congrats well done indeed guys .

Wow! Another milestone. Congratulations, the place looks great.

I love your house. You were wise to have a wide overhang. Not only does it protect the siding, but it shades the house a bit. Excellent job, and worth every penny. And Brandon, you lucky guy! You picked one beautiful Filipina. Please look after her well! Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors.

It's really beautiful in the morning, watching the carabao eating grasses in the vacant lot!😍

Wow its a nice design and liveable for you and Arlene.Love the surrounding areas,peaceful and quite,water and electricity is a plus.Its a smart idea building a house for you to stay while on vacation than to stay in a hotel or rent.This is perfect place to retire,close to nature.Best wishes to both of you.

First time viewer, Like the Vlog and what a cute little house and you seem like wonderfull people. Im gonna check out some more of your videos now :)

New subscriber here. Watching from NY and S. Leyte. Congratulations on your new home… Great looking build 👏🏻👏🏻

Congratulations! I just made the permanent move to Cambodia after I graduated in December. I applied at all the schools and have been on the lookout for a good woman to start a family with. Life is great in paradise!

Congrats love the setup and the videos keep them coming!

Congratulations 🎉 on getting land Brandon and Arlene 😎💪im happy for yall

A little slice of paradise! Very happy for you! Will be leaving for my 4th trip to the Philippines 🇵🇭 on 1/25/24 to visit my fiancée, very excited! 🙏🏻🥰

It’s fun watching you and Ella. She’s such a well behaved daughter.

Congrats to both of you guys. Great idea starting with the guest house.

Wow, that's a really beautiful tiny house in a beautiful nature! I really love it ❤

We migrated in Canada year 2014 but my husband and I wants to retire in the Philippines. It is always my dream to have a big lot and small house because I want to plant vegetable. We don’t want to live in the city anymore. I love your property, I wish someday I can buy something like that.

We’ll, congratulations on your new home. Enjoy..

Looks good guys congrats 🎊🎉 that’s my next move after I get into my condo with my fiancé end of the year in Cebu! She’s also from Leyte, Leyte and I was just there last month and it was a blast!!

simple but very nice views and green sorroundings. goodluck

This is GREAT!!! Im definitely going to look into this in Pangasinan. The only thing im gonna do differently is pour a slab big enough to build my entire house but have this part just for my master bedroom. THANKS GUYS!!!😊

Great! I am dreaming about that. I will visit the Philippines end of this year for three months. THX for this upload, had lots of info I wanted to know...

Congratulations! Good work on the tiny house!

Congratulations on your new place! Looks great! Its nice of you to build her family a beautiful home.... im sure they will cherish it. Sounds like you have gone all in. I wish you the best and HOPE its a happy ending for you. Look for red flags.good luck buddy!

Wishing you two all the very best from the Cordilleras 👍👍

Happy to drop by your site. Yes, that's one way to do it. Start small and work your way with the larger construction with great detail and planning. Have 3 lots in Angeles City near Clark Airport. Holding off a 3 acre lot i bought in California so I can easily fund construction in Philippines. Just the way you're doing it. Nice decent home office. Very healthy atmosphere you got in there. I hope you consider fresh air entering your lot when you build 2 meter wall. All the best. Garry from California.

Nice work... subbed - best of luck!

its a good place you got there, fresh air in the morning

Looks great guys, we live over in Bohol with our daughter.

Congratulations 🎉 on your new home 🏠 !

I love the tiny house and the WONDERFUL comfort room, Brandon. You should really be proud of the small masterpiece you and Arlene's family have created there.

Congratulations to both of you!. I like your land and it's a good space you can plant some fruit trees ,vegetables,flowers,herbs, So happy for you guys!, I can't to go back home!! God bless you both!!🙏🙏🙏..

Congratulations to you both neighbors. We started our Leyte property 20 years ago and it's our getaway from Metro Manila. We are in Culasian Leyte and have 1200 square meters with our house that we escape to when we get tired of the big city. The bungalow turned out really nice and our best wishes for your journey together.

You should buy a microphone so the other person can clip on her clothes and talk too. For the next house, you should choose a white roof. I live in Florida and nobody would go for a dark roof because it makes the house very HOT, the light roof reflects the sun so it keeps the house cool.

This is a great idea. I’ve been in touch with a company in Baguio that’s building and planning tony house retirement communities. I like the idea of having a private small home but have shared recreation areas and things to do 👍🏻

You guys have a nice piece of land. Not only is fertile but the layout is well leveled & uniformed & the vegetation looks good. Congrats to your new accomplishments. Wishing u both happy times & blessings of health & wealth. 🙏♥️☦️🕊

That’s the way to do it! My wife loves the window in the shower!

Great job! Nice house! I was in Leyte 8 months ago. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The people are on the same level! Long live Leyte!

Great job , happy your LDR has worked for you two

New subscriber here. Look forward to watching your videos

WOW,....! Nice view

I hear that Philippine women are incredible. Your wife is like a poster for that sentiment! You just look at her smile and eyes. There is noting to see but kindness. Your a lucky bloke. I'm sure you'll take care of each other very well. Congratulations on everything.

Congratulations. Lots of luck to you and Arlene.

What was the cost of land and house (separately)? We bought a 1000 sqm lot in Camotes for P2M. 150 meters from the paved highway, 2 lane unpaved road to the lot, 75 m from the ocean. We plan this year to build similar: small building for vacation living off to the side., CHB enclosure. If/when we sell in the future, the new owner can live in the smaller house til a main house is built. Then care taker/ gardener can reside in the smaller. Includes 50-60 banana trees.

I just subscribe because you have beautiful scenery....

Congrats on the build! Very nice and exactly what we are thinking to do in the Bicol region. Same Vibes, thank you!

New Subscriber here and how old it is viewing your blog on your new build and land its awesome, how long you staying back in USA b4 coming back to Philippines to start the main house cos that's gonna be exciting seeing that being built for sure

Nice😍

Very nice job on the home. It looks great!

Your new house is very beautiful and excellent bro. I have not seen a new model house like this until 2024. A lot of money seems to have been spent. 6×9 size with bamboo bongs is very nice for lunch and dinner. I am very happy. In my life too, I should build it in the model of your house. I saw your video from Telangana State Hyderabad in India. Great video your new home. My best wishes to your family. Thanks brother.

Great job guys. Where do you do the actual cooking?

Very nice property and tiny house/outside setup... Congrats and you have a new subscriber (me!)... Will run through your other vids as I have time... How much is your total investment to date for everything? Great start to life in The Philippines! Cheers! 🙏🙏🙏 👍😎👍

CONGRATS GUYS, LOOKS GOOD.

Congratulations on your property. My feeling on concrete walls though, from my experience, is that they while they make you feel protected, it like being 'protected' inside a prison. The beautiful views are also reduced. Maybe a steel fence or a high chain link fence will offer pretty well the same security while not closing you in as much.

Very nice. Congratulations! $15900 was for land and house?

Im proud of you brother you marry a Pilipina woman mostly are seriously in terms of marriage life enjoy have more fun in the Philippines watching from Japan

Thanks for sharing your beautiful house. I know you have more in store for us in the future. Looking forward to all the construction you plan on building there. Your tiny house is awesome! Love it

Correction: You bought her a house and land. Very generous of you.

Awesome information Brandon and Arlene. I'm In the market of doing what your doing tiny homes 🏡 are a hit in the Philippines 🇵🇭.

I just recently subscribed, you are doing great job on your video production. I am wishing you both an awesome future on your journey. I am looking forward to watching your journey

You bought her a house and lot. I’m sure that you know the laws in the Philippines. Take her to the USA and you may never see that place again. You’re still young so you’ll have time to recover financially from it. Not trying to crap on your video but this is from personal experience and observations of other expats that have gone down this path. Wishing you good luck 👍🏻

I wouldn't buy a property in the Philippines especially in a remote area. You never know who's planning to rob you or end up in a very bad situation. Poverty provokes crime. Just saying ! Minsan walang kamag anak pag dating sa pera..

I chanced upon your channel n after watching decided to follow. Like the lot and little house. Very practical & functional. Love from Malaysia😄

I also didn’t see a uv light on your water filter system, that should be added to prevent parasites from living in your drinking water.

We: you bought a house for her&family. You own nothing!

Congratulations my Arleney.😘😘😘

Wow! love it!! very impressive.. 😍

Congrats!! Nice work.. waiting to see the new fence too.. Thanks

That place looks amazing. Sure it’s small, but perfectly comfortable. You guys must be really pleased with how it turned out!

Nice to meet you my wife is from Bacolod city..love your video..We now live in Canada

Such a beautiful place and I love to see the surrounding.

Only thing I would have done is construct it in a way you can add to the house so everything is connected instead of having two separate structures. almost like creating a modular home. you build it in segments.

Looks awesome, best of luck.

Really nice! Congrats

Congratulations. Looks great.

A 2 meters cement wall will certainly create some friends in the neighborhood.

FANTASTIC JOB I hope you two enjoy it for years to come! 🎉

New sub here and I will be settling down in Ormoc here in a few months. Beautiful tiny house and property. I love Leyte.

great to hear these stories,, My Fiance, our first year anniversay was 4-19, I plan to move to Bohol and I like what you have done here. Gonna steal this idea for our plans,, guest houes is great idea for temp living,

Congratulations Guys you have a new 🏡 ❤❤

Very nice. My wife lives in Naval. Ill be back there in April. I love the province. So peaceful.

Nice house build, office / guess house .. great job

i highly recommend to keep as many fruit trees as you can and even plant more.

The place and house are so nice very simple life but peaceful .

You can drink coconut water everyday with all those coconut trees in your yard. Is .Arlene still,working in the U.S., that’s good she can save some money for your house. It must be cooler there than in Manila. It’s nice to live in rural areas surrounded by nature. You can also raise chicken and have free eggs for breakfast.

Hallo guys.. I'm watching from Bremen Germany without sipping adds. Let's stay connected so that your coming video's will always be updated on me. Thanks for skiring your nice tiny house and the beautiful view of nature.😊

very nice. I love the simplicity.

Nice property you have there. Just along the road plus no neighbors yet around the area. It makes the area serene and beautiful

new subscriber here, love the peace and serenity. Look forward to checking out your other videos.

Looks great, thank you for sharing the process with us.

Congrats! I’m planning to move over there soon. Got my fiancé in a Condo in Manila right now but your video gives me an idea of what I’ll need to build a decent house!

Very nicely done!!

Just left Abuyog a week ago. Miss it already. Can not wait to get back there

You can build a few houses on that property. *That property would make a Great Compound... My Filipina Wife and I bought a 300 SQM. CORNER LOT in CEBU to build on. We've talked about building 3 to 4, 2bdrm. Small house's on it and just CLOSE IT OFF INTO A FAMILY COMPOUND. GOOD LUCK GUY'S...
