Best, most informative video I have watched and i have watched hundreds. Really helpful for me because i am looking for my first rental. New subscriber here, two thumbs up!
Thank you for your support, I wish you find a really nice place!
Information on coconuts , glues, basketball courts = disco , flies, smells, great advice. Thank you so so much.
Thanks for keeping it real Alex.
It was my goal, thank you for watching
Appreciate the realism. Helpful info.
I'm glad that it was helpful, thank you for watching
Thanks for the video. You nailed it. You’re in their country. They won’t change their lifestyle for you coz you’re a foreigner.
Thank you for watching, despite all I mentioned it's a great place to live
Fair play - this is a fantastic upload. Nothing flashy, none of the natural beauty shots, no clever videography… just down to earth, useful information!
I’m tempted to make a second UA-cam account to subscribe again! 😂
Thanks guys. Ps. Beautiful family!
Thank you for your kind words, it was my goal to make it useful 😊
Very thorough Alex. Thank you for compiling all the things we need to be aware of and look out for in one video. of all the Philippine channels I watch, no one has put together such a comprehensive list
Thank you for watching and your kind words. I'm glad that it was helpful
You are right. No one else has compiled. Such a complete list of potential problems. Thank you.
Wow
Very straight forward and lots of good information for the non gated non secure regular community , thanks 😊
Thank you for watching and your support, I'm glad that it was helpful
Landlords here don't want to fix anything especially their attitude that you are a rich foreigner and should just do it yourself even for big repairs .
Thank you for sharing your experience, it is worth mentioning
That's why we built our own house. Even with my Filipina asawa, when we first rented we took care of our own repairs when renting. You're responsible for shower heater elements, aircon units, plumbing, association fees in the water bill, etc. The rents were cheap but the living conditions and heat and constant noise a pain in the ass. Enjoy our farmlot and home now where it's quiet.
@@Gregory-Masovutch I agree with you. I always thought about this kind of story when I hear advices from foreigners like you should only rent in the Philippines. Thank you for sharing
I have had only one bad one. All the rest have been great.
The benefit being a foreigner is that you can move :)
Thank you Alex and nice to see you again. Good logical information. Bob. NZ.
Thank you Bob, for coming back. How is Lina?
@@Alex_Kosh All good here in NZ, Alex. Returning permanently to Cebu late next year. Will look you guys up then. Bob & Lina.
Great, we wish you a smooth relocation 🇳🇿🇵🇭
Good radio in your English is getting very good! 👍
Thank you for watching and your support 😊
great video!...excellent honest review..subscribed!
Thank you for your support
Great Video! Never thought of looking for all the issues presented. I'll keep everything in mind when i move to my next location
Thank you, I'm glad that it was helpful
Golden info here. It's quite depressing, TBH, but better have low expectations.
You're right, low expectations create the opportunity for a pleasant surprise
Other vloggers they say it, but you show it and thats a real difference. Thank you. Pity you cannot give us the air pollution by video.
Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad that it was helpful
very comprehensive! the Philippines is so hot it's not conducive for walkers. the best walkers i know are those who live in the mountains. they say a place is 15 mins away but for us ordinary humans it's more like an hour haha
Thank you for your support. Yes and walking up is not the same as on a flat surface
Great video. All the real life issues we need to think about. I made a list before I get there so I can bypass most problems
Thank you for watching and I wish you to find a good place
Hi Alex, I just became a new subscriber to your channel.

@@Alex_Kosh Yes, enjoying cool summer her ;)
So informative. Thank you.
Thank you for watching and your kind words
Thanks for the information
Thank you for watching
I am a Filipina myself...I moved to the US for medical work and a better life for my family back in the PI,...but every time I came to visit,...its nothing but aggravation...yes the housing cost is less compared to the west but all the nuances that u mentioned are all true...I would rather stay in the US and have my peace.
Thank you for watching and sharing your story. I wish you to have your peaceful life there
You have a beautiful family Alex I really enjoy your video it was very interesting you are so green a couple years ago and now look at you stay healthy.
With a friend in the city, you can have stuff delivered there and you can pick it up at your convenience.
Thank you for watching and sharing your experience
Thanks for the helpful info.
Thank you for watching, I'm glad that it was helpful
Good advice, Ivan.

Thank you, Jack, for saying that. I tried to put information with visuals from the real examples. We're doing well and I hope you too
Great information and also I love the place for what I can see. Greetings ur new subscriber. Hi from Amsterdam (area)
Thank you for watching and your support
I enjoy your videos. Can you give a tour of inside your rental home?
Thank you, maybe I'll do it later
Great information thanks so-much.

Very informative video, Alex. Good job!
Thank you, Carl! I was trying to show the real aspects of life in our area so that people will have realistic expectations and can find a place without regrets.
Thanks for the information. You are doing good with yourself and family. God bless you and family.
Thank you for watching and for your kind words😊
Ok. The stuff about the nuts falling is pretty funny! Probably wasn't at the time but that's funny! 😃
And the first hundred times my wife did Oh, what was that?? 😄
One issue I keep running into is trying to rent a place for two to four weeks. There are times I want to get away with the whole family maybe eight of us and every renter wants to limit to four people.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I think it’s possible to find on airbnb. My friend has a listing there and didn’t limit amount of guests
Nice to hear from you again.. it’s been a while i didn’t see u blogging.. are u guys busy with your little one.. hope everything is fine..keep on blogging we’re here to support your channel.
Thank you for coming back and your support. Yes we were really busy with her but now it seems to be getting better
Very informative
Thank you for watching, I'm glad that it was helpful
Excellent video. Reality and facts instead of s. Vlogers give us. You may want to cut it into two and CREAT two videos out of one. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words and advice
Actually So you and others know, KAREOKE noise is illegal in the Philippines. Each Barangay and town or city have the Code with the acceptable hours for loud noise. All you have to do is bring a complain with the local "Pópo" and the will generate a "visitation" to the "perpetrators". The Only thing is they will know who generated the call, because thePopo will tell them......then you will probably suffer the consecuences of your "action".😱
You are right
Thank you for the update mate
Thank you for watching, I'm glad that it was helpful
I will be in Tambobo this week mate hope to keet youbin petson
Alex is 100% correct
Thank you for your support
Excellent video
Thank you for watching
Spasibo Aleksander
Пожалуйста
Alex from now just rent if ever you can decide to make your on shelter house because u have daugther who benefit but dont invest a lot of money for it just 2rooms 10×12 not small not big typical size cr kitchen sala peranda limit cost how much only ❤❤
Thank you for your support and advice
very informative. Thanks
I'm Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching 😊
All our places have had super tall ceilings very hard to cool the places down and waste of power.
Thank you for sharing your experience, good point
Always good info
25 pesos to have that kinife sharpened and polished at a local shop
If a local shop has a smart owner, they will gift you several of these knives as well as spoons and forks. As a result, it will be a pretty busy shop all the time lol
@@Alex_Koshif I ever come to live in the Philippines I’ll bring my late husbands electric blade sharpener.
Good info👍
Thank you 👍
Thank you Alex -- very much ! ! ! ---- We are not used to many of those 'customs' here in the US. Generally owners are 100% responsible for usual maintenance on property. --- So it sounds like 100% needs to be in writing or else the (expat) renter will be expected to fix - ''whatever happens'' to the place ? > That can be a good bit of $ - also - having to pay for previous use on other people's contracts ? (( Which is BS ! )) Really appreciate the warnings of all these possible $ grabs from us expats !!!
Thank you for your review, I'm glad that it was helpful. I wish you to find a great place

The karaoke music would be a hard pass for me. I would go insane 😅
It's more fun if you participate.
I totally understand you. My next door neighbors brought karaoke for a whole month and were singing from morning until 2-3 am everyday. Even not singing but shouting in the microphone. And many people like to turn it very loud and seat close to speakers so everyone can additionally enjoy loud squealing noise
What about renting an apartment in a highrise building? Would that help with the owner's responsibility to repair things??
I don't have such experience but I think a broken water heater could be broken in the house as well as in the apartment
I have a 268 watt BLUETTI power station 12volt and AC/ DC. Plus I have a “suitcase 100 watt solar panels”. Can I bring my small power station in suitcase or carry with me on plane?
I think it's possible but better to ask airline support
Your funny dude ! 😂
Thanks
Can you please rovide links for those devices for electric power?
You can find them using the search phrase "portable power station" on shoppe, lazada etc. There are many options with different power capacity
Спасибо дорогой! Продолжай делать видео! I'm going to watch it. Is your wife Filipina?
Спасибо за поддержку, да она филиппинка
You can just treat the knife he gave you as if its a tool that can rust, and keep it covered in oil or beeswax or Carnauba. That should protect it so it doesnt die!
Thank you for your advice. I chop wood with it because I can't use it for food. A knife like this costs less than $5 here.
ALEX!!!!
😄
Yup
thanks
Thank you for watching
What kind of visa you have to stay longtime in the Philippines?
About 2 years I was on tourist visa, now I became resident
Beautiful girlfriend. Cute couple. The house is also looking so nice. What is the monthly rent more or less?
I can't answer because this is the house of a friend of my friend and I have special conditions
@@Alex_Koshwhat conditions do u have if I may ask regarding the property u live in. It’s good to know what kind of bartering ( exchange one service for another, for example).
How much does your place cost to rent each month ??
I have special conditions because this house belongs to a friend of my friend
Очень симпатичное видео. Пишу по-русски, поскольку...ну, сам понимаешь, акцент неистребим.
На самом деле, понятно, что у всего в жизни есть плюсы и минусы. Зато конец всегда один, что радует)
Заметь, что сами филиппинцы вполне привыкают ко всем этим проблемам, а может, просто не замечают их, так что всё вопрос времени и привычки.
Очень понравилось приспособление из кривых брёвен для складывания и убережения от собак мусора. Стиль а-ля Робинзон Крузо модерн.
Я бы в жизни не поселилися в деревне, жил бы в городе, пусть в небольшом, зато сравнительно спокойном. Где и живу, хоть и совсем в другой стране.
Конечно, это было бы подороже, но, как по мне, и поудобнее.
Удачи! Это от всего сердца, правда😀
Спасибо, да у Филиппинцев ко многому толерантное отношение что бывает и плюсом и минусом. Я много лет прожил в Москве и городской жизнью сыт. Может еще в более глубокую провинцию переберемся) желаю и вам всего наилучшего
@@Alex_Kosh
Ну вот, мы, как выясняется, ещё и почти земляки)
Я тоже родился в Москве, и даже прожил там первые 26 лет моей жизни. С облегчением отбыл оттуда в 1988 году, с тех пор в Израиле, как раз в маленьком спокойном (насколько это у нас возможно) городке.
Но с большим любопытством смотрю, как люди живут в разных необычных живописных местах, как меняют свою жизнь.
В общем, вы молодцы, не сомневаюсь, что у вас всё получится.
Удачи ещё раз.
@@Greycat590 согласен что почти) тк Москва тогда, довоенного времени и сегодняшняя это разный город в одном и том же месте. Спасибо вам за добрые слова)
….above all, make sure you don’t have a blogger neighbor, especially a Russian one. JOKE!! 😂 Good Video, see you soon 👍
Your neighbor is my American friend, whom I enlisted in the KGB 😆
Its a darn mess. Really?? This is nuts.
What do you mean specifically?
What is the bug problem like renting there in the tropics (roaches, spiders etc.....). Is that a big problem you have to deal with?
Ants and Tuco geckos love to be indoors as much as you. Found a Tuco under my pillow once.
I don't like mosquitoes that's why I use mosquito nets and cover all the holes. For Filipinos it's not a problem at all. But if you're asking are there a lot of insects, the answer is definitely yes
20:28 - Internet: Takeover a service contract from the previous subscriber, of course all the equipment has to be reinstalled or the missing payment has to be made, it is the same all over the world.
I don't have experience from all over the world, but I suppose the same can happen in the US. However, in Russia, you pay for the upcoming month. If you stop paying, you won't have internet. As soon as you pay, the service will resume from that day until the same day of the following month.
Rusty in ocean part near to live salty moist all gadget damage while far away far from neighbor like vacant lot no neighbor cummunity a lot of nature tree
Thank you for watching and your opinion
Maybe now some of your viewers will understand why it's a smart move to buy your girlfriend's or wife's family their own pedicab or minivan. And keep that family close.
Actually I don’t see the connection with rental property
@@Alex_Kosh This is in response to your comment about being in the province and not being able to get a ride for your father to the airport. I will always have a ride if I need one.
@@dumaguetedreaming ok I got what you meant
