Hi guys this is Rahul if you would like to check out other units in eastwood,newport,quezon city,mckinely hill and makati city you can contact me in this number 09151857022 and this is my email rahmotwani@gmail.com
Hi Rahul I heard that we foreigners can not buy property in your country unless we become citizens is that true?
Gabri'el Alexander you cannot buy house and lot in the Philippines if your not a Filipino citizen. but you can buy a condo unit even if you are not a Filipino citizen so foreigners can purchase condo units.
Yes you can purchase a condo unit
Gabri'el Alexander you can only buy condos but not house and lot
That's I nice unit, love the high ceiling in the living area. How much could I rent a unit like that out per month?
With great power comes an even greater electric bill!
haha, sooo true!!
🤣🤣🤣
for now only we are making solar farm bigger of all kind and we made our nuclear power
$250k usd no wonder it’s empty.
It's relative. For me, living in Los Angeles, $250k usd for a condo is a bargain!
bUT IT AIN'T la DUDE. LOL
duh.
DAVID SINGER l
Yeah...not. I have beach house on a remote island AND an apartment in the city here for ...You'd be shocked. Lets just say around 250 dollars. My house is 3 story concrete building with a huge deck over looking the ocean. This is a rediculous price. U can buy a huge ranch house and acres of land in the midwest with 250,000 u.s. dollars!!!!
The cost of the unit is 225,000 US DOLLARS. Not 12 million US dollars. That is still high considering how vacant the buildings are and how many are being built around you. I'm very curious what a 2 bedroom house on an acre sells for on the outskirts of Eastwood City?
The Condos in the Metro Manila are cheaper than Los Angeles.
would hope so for a developing country.....
12million is $240k USD you could build a mansion with pool and juccuzzi and buy a car and motor bike. This place is overpriced and overrated 😐
Well said ,Man it is truely very overpricing,I'm with you Eddie Goodman
Yes 12m in d province may get you a large house. But not in this same location .
Location location location.
Same thing with Beverly Hills is not d same as Compton. Or Hamptons vs the Bronx.
Condos specially in business and entertainment area is really expencive. Even in other foreign country thats a fact 😁😁 Yung mura lang naman yung medyo malalayo sa Main.
@@bisdakdiay True. but who wants to live in a closet?
Correction , the word boondocks was derived from the Filipino word bundok, which means mountain, the backwoods, countryside etc. the Americans who came during the Philippine American war introduced it to English, thus became an English word 😊
$250K can buy you a 4000 sq ft house in Texas with 5 bedroom, 2 living areas, 2 dining areas, 3 bathrooms, 3 car garage, a driveway, a pool in a 10K sq ft lot.
Speeding Pontiac SLE Texas is garbage so it doesnt matter
Super man 😃
Oh look! Another overpriced Manila condo....
Rohed Matthew You couldn’t pay me to live in an apartment... For $100,000. You can live in a very nice house. AC the works..Why rent.if you’re staying in the Philippines get something decent.
yes, and if you live in Philippines, get the best of it, don t life in a concret jungle :D
that s really not what Philippines best side.
There must be an association fee and a cost for the banquet rooms on top of the payment each month. and only a two year loan will leave many in a mess in two years and cause them to loose everything after two years. Kind of a scam! That is what happened in the USA that caused the real estate crash. Interest only qualification and in three years the principal kicked in and the payments where to high for the owners to pay therefore causing tons of foreclosures and crashing the CLO market!
AICS USA 11q
When you was showing the rooms. The video was very dark. Could not see. But I thank you for the tour of the building.
location location location this definitely is a prime location! @ 20+ k down and $1k a month is actually a great bargain! where I live condo starts at $500k and only 1 level and 1 bedroom in a not so great location like Eastwood. And if I was going to rent that kind of condo, that size on that same type location would probably be 4k a month!
you couldn't turn on the lights?
It's not in USD..
1M dollars = 50M Php
or 1USD =50Php
This is a prime location in the Phils. There are condo's in nearby cities which only cost 5M Php or 100,000USD or even lower.
Eastwood isnt a good area to live unless you work there. its a small compound with heavy traffic. for that amount it would be better to get a condo in Ortigas CBD, BGC, or Greenhills.
Eastwood is also very crowded, and no open spaces, parks, etc.
some were saying that this is overpriced well its not actually , it is the location and the amenities around it , the value of land in that location.. Eastwood has alot to offer , the mall is just right under your step , office buildings etc. the convenience... though there are also other condominiums nearby that a lot more cheaper than what is in this video ... you can also have a big house and lot in other areas with that amount , a small business and a car (if you are married to a Filipina/Filipino/ will be name under your corporation)... so really alot of options
Great video and thank you for encouraging my wife and myself to take it to the next level in life, to take the risk and commit to the adventure. I am 72 years old my wife is 65 years old and your videos are
Inspiration for us to continue an adventurous lifestyle. We've traveled to 35 countries and by seeing how you take on the challenges has given us the courage to do things that we have not felt comfortable doing. The bottom line we are getting out of the comfort zone. What advice would you give us? You're doing it and thank you for what you're doing it is appreciated all.Jerry & Lori
Live life to its fullest!! Thank you so much, its truly comments like this that keep me going!!
I like the layout but for P12.6 million condo that probably does not have parking and less than 100sq meters, I rather buy a new bigger house that is located in a province near Metro Manila like Bulacan or Cavite for under P10 million.
True. For 12m you can already get a decent house, which is bigger than a condo unit.
yeah, in Eastwood, Makati, and BGC you end up paying a bit more for location.
Actually if you think about it and if you look hard enough, you don't need to buy a new one. 10 to 25 year old condos with parking in Eastwood, Makati and Ortigas are bigger and cheaper. I was just there last fall and I saw a 15 year old 110 sq. condo in Ortigas selling for about P7M. Hire a good architect/interior designer to renovate the unit and you have a kick-ass condo in a nice neighborhood.
Foreigners can't own land for a house ( it's possible with a good lawyer). Thats why he shows condos which foreigners can own.put the house in someone else's name? Lol sure go ahead.
This was real informative. I hope you do a part 2 that covers the monthly additional cost for the amenities (HOA Fees).
I really enjoy watching your videos.
part 2 is filmed, hopefully it will be out in a couple weeks! :)
If it's cost of living, focus on the average costs of utilities like electricity, internet, and water, and the average monthly/weekly costs of groceries. Eating out vs buying groceries and cooking yourself. I think those things would be most useful for foreigners that are considering moving to the Philippines, or staying here for extended periods. Also, try featuring the not-so-upscale upper middle-class places that are still relatively close to business districts (assuming an expat would likely find work in a finance district) but don't have as high of a price-tag. Like say some areas of Makati (not rockwell, rockwell is pretty upscale) or some areas of Mandaluyong and Ortigas/Pasig. Taguig as well. There are some areas there that's relatively near Bonifacio Global City, but have a more affordable price-tag. Another idea would be to feature easily accessible areas outside of the Metro like Tagaytay/Alabang down south. Might be a better investment for them if they're willing to deal with the South Super Highway daily. Ask the local Korean foreign student community. They tend to stay near a CBD but still find places that aren't first class and still affordable. They're just students after all. They have a limited budget.
Yeah...not. I have beach house on a remote island AND an apartment in the city here for ...You'd be shocked. Lets just say around 250 dollars a month. My house is three story concrete building with a huge deck over looking the ocean. This is a rediculous price. U can buy a huge ranch house and acres of land in the midwest with 250,000 u.s. dollars!!!!
with 12M or less you can buy a nice single detached house somewhere in sta rosa away from all the bs in the city
true but expats can't own land so condos are our only option. unless we exploit some loophole or allow a wife to own the house.
YOU cant own a house only a condo. I Should never give it to my gf or vife that what you need to do if buy a house
instead of condo rent a whole house a mansion house for only 400 dollars or 20 thousand peso
Look like a really good fire trap to me. 12M including a parachute.
desanpedro1 SANPEDRO rope and learn to repel. Metro Manila is quake prone location, part of ring of fire.
When are you getting to the more affordable apartments???
Like for Rent. These places you showing are for Trust fund babies.
So you can see McDonald's from the window??? The people who buy these CONDOS aren't EATING Mickey D's Buddy !!!
hopefully I'll be able to do that on my next trip :)
Traffic in the metro can be unbearable. Residing near your workplace is best.
Among thousands of CONDO's which one Designed by Zaha Hadid , Herzog Meuron , Vinuelas, SOM , etc.
Thousand dollars a month is way too much OK in two years you could’ve bought a house there it’s only $24,000 for small house!
Unrealistic video for somebody who’s trying to live on $1200 a month because that’s what most experts are living on
@Wolf gang Lots of them out there. Seen one ocean front house maybe 70 m fore $400 a month rent.
Excuse me Sir... " CR" is comfort room po.
Really informative. Highly useful information. Good job you guys!
I really love how positive you are in your videos!
Anthony,
There's a nice place in Bagac, Bataan called Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar which provides a glimpse to the traditional culture and architecture of the Philippines. If you're roaring for a different kind of adventure, this might be a good place to visit. I hope that you would have the time to travel and take part in that idyllic preservation.
P.S
don't forget to bring us along with you in both your trusty camera and your lovable heart. Take Care and God Bless.
theres a lot of condo near of everything u need much much cheaper than on this condo . . or better live in province . . this condo is for the rich people live here in the Philippines . . . . .
Usually these places have monthly maintenance fees or homeowners association fees. Not referring to bills related to individual unit but for maintaining common grounds.
Can you please tell me how much the fee is ? Any other costs involved?
Thank you....
P.S I think its fantastic, truly a million dollar view!!
A $1000 a month? No. It's cheaper to live in the USA.. lol .. $252,000 can buy you a very nice house with a big yard in the US..
this is admittedly a high end condo... like buying an apartment in downtown new york.
You beat me to it. Metro Manila is like NYC in USA. And you aren't getting a condo like that in NYC for $1,000mnth. LoL
If you want to compare with a decent place, but not Metro Manila, it would be less than $300month. And everything else is way less in cost in Phi. Single guy can live decently for less than $1k month. Just can't do that in Metro Manila. hehe
And to top that..the people are outstanding! The most friendly people I have ever met. Have been to many countries. None have made me want to go back as often as I go there.
VERY true!
Must not be exposed to makati metro manila. Condos there cost 250-300k and speaking of the USS i live in california, you can even buy property less than 300k
But itis not New York.
My favorite actor, Jack Black!!! Nice video, keep it comin!
That's a great deal. I live in Ohio USA in a smaller community of around 30,000 people. I have a small 2 bedroom apartment with 2 full bathrooms and I pay 1300usd a month and have 6 months of crappy weather.1040.00 per month for that place is a steal....
The reason why it is quite expensive for some people is that Eastwood City is a high-end place in Quezon City...if you do not want to drive or you are in the older side...everything is walkable here...it is called a township...aside from condos there... are office buildings around(they call it IT/BPO)...then it has a mall, DIY shop, Banks, supermarkets(2), a church, restos of all kinds(Filipino, Japanese, Italian, Spanish-Mexican, Chinese etc.)...there is a bus that will take you to Bonifacio Global City(another township) and back...would you believe that the condo you have seen has 6 elevators...and they have probably almost a hundred restos to choose from all around the township!
I sublet at the Beacon in Makati for a couple months when I first came to the Philippines(the the 48th floor) love the skyscaper views. Manilla definitely can show the the meaning of "have's and have nots". Great video showing the high-ish side. Are you gonna show the flipside to the coin too? Awesome as always, db.
Too much expensive.... Run for your life Mr. Panda....
what I hate are the external A.C. unit for each room. They should have the HVAC system. An A.C. vents for each room
I feel you on that :)
for 12m . you can already buy house and lot overlooking taal lake here in tagaytay
"land, property rarely goes down in value"...Your American right, jeez... also the view, of other apartments, nice
thanks man very helpful, i wish i was in your shoes. new subscriber here
12.6 million pesos/PHP right? If so, that's quite a steal. You have to remember the area, the proximity to business, etc. Maybe get one on a lower floor and save even more money. Something like that in the US might be over 1 million USD in equivalent cities.
13.3 million pesos with 10% down not bad at all👍
Rich Area. Although if I had 12m cash, I'd get a large tract of good land near Tagaytay and build a house there.
If I have 12m I would invest it in stocks, make even more and then go invest again.
We are actually selling a lot near the road to Tagaytay.
Stock is a rip-off
sadly, expats can't exactly go around buying land without leveraging loopholes.
I'm interested in your Tagaytay property. How big is it and how much?
boondock aka bundok or mountain. sometimes we use it as adjective of being primitive.
We rented a three story house in Q.C. For 18,00 pesos a month on top of a hill beautiful view of Q.C. Up the third floor terrace and on new years eve view of fire works are awesome
Brother take it from a Pinoy local...this kid is selling you Crap condo...go check out Iloilo subdivision. You can already build or buy a mansion with $20,000.
yes I'm a Filipino you can do that have a friend Filipino and a lawyer a good lawyer
Sponsored to you by Megaworld the builders of East Wood City CBD, Quezon City.
lolol
CR stands for Comfort Room which is another way of using the term Rest Room and both nicer to hear than the word Toilet.
I love these vids mate.. maybe the smaller end 1mill to 10mill peso would be great.. if you could also look at how much potential rental income it could produce for property investors that would be AMAAAAAAZING too.. :)
Hi sir this is Rahul the agent from the video I could you with that we could meet in Eastwood and talk about it.
Hi sir I could send you a computation of a unit that's is within your price range
You're crazy.
is freetty theme expensive i pay land for 10 hectar on province
Modest Repos and condos to assume are a lot cheaper, some are as little as 10,000 US$. this condo is big and high end for rich people.
Great vid, I’m 2 yrs late, but it’s all still relevant, prices must be higher now. My point being, since lots comments saying ‘it’s too expensive!’ But if you bought two years ago, and rented since then, and then sold it today or just value it, you probably make 25% + roi. Correct me if I’m wrong. One things for sure, you’d be in the money! 💰
Pretty much all of these would have gone up in value by now.
I'm staying in one of these condos with AIRBNB next week. Thanks for the video. Are you still in Eastwood City?
Yeah.. thats true..bunducks brand (means mountain) was inpired by filipino..great video sir..
12m? I'll buy a farm lot in Panay, Negros or Guimaras and develope it for 5m. 12m in the city is too much I guess.
I like the loft design. I saw something similar that was pre selling for 7 million in Taft overlooking Manila bay 3 years ago because it's 51 stories high and the other buildings aren't tall even thiugh it's inland. But Eastwood just like Ortigas doesn't have soul. It's probably why it ranks the lowest among the CBDs in Metro Manila while bay area ranks about the same as BGC. I would look into investing condos overlooking the bay as property there is rising the 2nd fastest in the Philippines as there is proposal to reclaim Manila bay further beyond MOA reclamation to build , CBD, greens and resediential. I have family who have a couple of units there the rent has doubled within the last year and a few more a bit inland but still have a view of the bay which hopefully does not et obstructed with new developments.
very informative video and very nice condo to live
Thank You for the unique Tour, Al
Sweet vlog brother. Haven’t really searched your vlogs but do you have any advice on Bantanyan Island ?
Have fun. Relax, keep an open mind. :)
No thank you.I can build my own tiny house and have peace without thinking much about large bills.
Awesome and thanks for sharing your blog.
12M budget. I’d buy 12 houses with that. Good video sir
I feel that!!
And make money out of your 12 houses for renting out.
Let me guess ... its still for sale, Feb 21, 2019. Ha ha ha
It only means it's not for you. People have levels. You won't buy a condo worth 12 million if your net worth is 15 million.
Looks good where it is thank you for sharing👍.
It's funny reading the comments for all those people saying how you can build a mansion for that price out in the province its completely different lifestyle. Some people like living in a big city versus rural areas. It's like me saying why did I $700k for my place in Los Angeles versus $100k for my 5 acres ranch 150 miles away from L.A. its completely different vibes, I like the peace and quiet of my ranch but I love the city place way more. The place is the video would work for someone like me that likes being in the mix of the action and buy a second spot by the beach. It's all relevant to your own personal budget, not everyone is pinching pennies.
you are wrong it's different here in the philipines we have a lot of cities near the beaches and mountain Iloilo city Cebu city Davao city have beaches and mountain nearby half an hour walk
I would like to see this place when we come next year
Sir can I stay only for one month sir how.much what is the proceduee
Why were you not able to turn the lights on in the CR rooms?
Good video. I hope to be back in June this year. Very cheap cheap direct fights now from Jakarta to Manila. Just over 3 hours on Airasia. Btw, in case you didn't know, CR = Comfort Room. Cheers.
Can't you at least switch on the lights in the CR ? Cam't see anything
I would never live in a condo ...if things break down you cannot replace it ...if a big earthquake takes place it will be so scary or yet shake down the building I’ll be dead
That's a nice Condo! I am going to the Makati
boondocks comes from bundok (mountain) - FYI for others here
hmmm... so where does the word bundok come from? :)
I live in there!
Im 10th floor btw
What did you pay?
You’re such a geek. That’s not an insult.
the cleanest rubbery in the whole world man this is a hold up
Wow. That's surprisingly expensive!
Great video, as always.
$1000 a month would get you a closet space in NYC..... or a small studio if you are lucky.
Not bad but i don't want to go over 600 to 700 a month already furnish
Reminds me of Manhattan. Great prices with even great views. What about real estate taxes and condo dues monthly? Water/electric and other utilities. My former condo across the Hudson River, became unaffordable, because of increasing real estate taxes, condo dues, special assessments imposed by building management. Water and power shortage is common in the metro manila area. Its happening now because of government ineptitude. I should know I lived there 40 yrs ago. How can I be convinced to return and spend my retirement dollars there alone.
Is this a new building? Pause at 6:18 looks like big pieces of concrete missing in various places outside the windows on the right. Scary.
So, can you talk about mail? How can I get my credit cards and financial documents sent to me without losing it? Should I trust the phil mail?
I wouldn't. Not that it's seedy or untrustworthy, but because the infrastructure is... for the lack of a better way to put it... not what you may expect. Go paperless where you can.
That's interesting for a long time I been wondering if boondocks in english came from the tagalog word Bundok or vice versa..
I would seriously love to live there but unfortunately I’m still 15 yrs until retirement.
Only 12yrs now..
Bro I found your channel a while ago when you went to the gun show and I just happened to come back up on this video and I have to say I like your videos man but I want to ask you a question how accessible or wheelchair accessible is the Philippines
That depends a lot on where you are going. Big cities and tourist destinations will have good accessibility but historic and rural areas may be a gamble. I would assume that is true in a lot of places though.
go to Iloilo if you have less budjet
The difference is 2 dead French painters,one more apparently,interesting than the other.
lol. good one!
Really enjoyed your Philippine travel videos. You looked very much at home there. Are you planning to go back sometime?
I hope to get my finances to a place where I can come back to visit! :)
Was there a light for the bathroom, turn it on........!
Sadly no :( often units for rent dont have the power turned on :(
Is it ...safe? What about health care...??
I see a lot of comments ranting about the condos being overpriced. Well apparently, you are not the market for this type of condos. There are actual living people who can afford this and these condos were build for them and not for you. So stop ranting.
LeBRON bought the penthouse in LeGrand
what, really?
I wouldn't pay that much for a freaking condo. That's just insane. You can almost buy a huge house in the US for that price.
Jef Pduct , probably in Mississippi.
It's not in USD..
1M dollars = 50M Php
It's a prime location in the Phils. There are condo's in nearby cities which only cost 5M Php or 100,000USD or even lower.
This condo needs another bathroom on the second floor or move the bathroom out of the master bedroom. It's not convenient for the second bedroom occupant to go into the master bedroom to use the bathroom. Also the layouts of the bedrooms are kinda weird but that's just my 2¢
It is fun to live in Manila if you are earning US dollars. Otherwise you might find it cheaper to live somewhere else. When I say, fun, I mean being able to dine in cool bistros, hang out in hip bars, and travel to tourisy spots anytime.
I suggest living just outside an area like Eastwood, BGC, makati etc. like Pasig is really nice and budget friendly :)
Thanks for sharing..
That is one bad ass pad, for a grand US a month. I live in a 2 br in thailand, about half that, new, but not as awesome as this pad. Spectacular at that price.
Wow in usa my hugh home 3 bd rm 1 acre land 2 bath fenced yard central ac and heat 2 car garage mortgage 980.00 usd per month so cheaper in parts of usa
Small space when you enter just hop to your bed , it's cheaper to rent then buy nowadays .
great vid. 👍 #goodluck on your next ventures.....
