    Imo, $500 is overpriced for this place. You can get a bigger apartment with a same price somewhere else. You can even rent an entire house with that price if you are willing to move outside of the center area.

      @@nofood1 makes sense because thats the average monthly wage of the locals. In Australia average wage is around $4400 a month and renting a house is around $3000 per month some places, cheaper if 30mins drive away from the city. Give or take still expensive if you do a comparison to Australia rent market but still cheap a whole house for $390 for expat!

    Great place Ty! That is the one I hoped you would get. As far as figuring out a maid service...umm you can clean. The place is not too big, I have faith that you can do a little cleaning. Frosty actually sent me a meow text and asked that you pick up a little. She likes pristine floors and dust free counters. She can't keep her gorgeous frosty white fur in a messy abode. Love you Son 😅😊

      @BigTimeBentley  Рік тому +1

      I usually set the A/C's at 27 Celsius when I'm just chilling (no pun intended), at like 23 or 24 C when I go to bed...They're decent enough to keep the place cool and comfortable. I had central a/c in the luxury apartment I rented (my first video on my youtube channel), but aside from that I've always had these A/C wall units. They definitely use less power than central A/C but the central a/c probably does a better job of keeping the apartment really cold.

    This is super interesting cause i just rented a place, and my roommate is renting a place (moving out of a sweet friend/landlord deal). $2k for a 1b/1b in San Diego with shared wall. $2k for a 3b 2b house in Colorado. Both of comparable quality to your place. I can only imagine what $2k gets in Vietnam.

      $2K will get you a condo in the most desirable complex in amongst the most exclusive areas. Life would be very good and I’ve lived in San Diego so can compare. Size for $2K would depend on the project you choose but you could live in any of them. D1, D2, D3. Want a San Diego vibe choose Thao Dien (D2) which is closest mentality wise. Can do well at $1K as well. Pay up because honestly very few can handle the grind and living in the local neighborhoods like Tyler can. You gotta be very easy going. If you can then you can save a lot of $ but try it for a few weeks first minimum.

    Pretty nice place for $500 a month in Saigon/HCM which can get really expensive because it's a big city. I probably would choose a smaller city so it's a bit cheaper like Nha Trang (foreigner beach city) especially coming from a big city in Los Angeles (skyscapers, tons of buildings jammed together, finding parking & having to pay for parking eww). I much prefer the quiet suburbs than big cities. But I guess the bigger city has more food options and for youtube content. 👍
