    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!

      If it would be just the thing with the toilet and the shower, that would be fixable for a small amount as all is there, just not connected. But yea, if you have some time, look around a bit more.

    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 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.

    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.

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

    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.

      @@johncruz7895 I’m a set it and forget it kinda guy and when I negotiated a price that was less than 6 months of a single month of living in the US I didn’t see it as a problem. It was $365 a month inclusive of electric, water, dues and Wi-Fi which I still got after amending the lease. It was a really nice resort style condo in Manila so I got a little too excited over the deal, but luckily I came to my senses before signing the lease.

    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.

    Iloilo looks like a great place to visit but a bad place to rent/live. Was on top of my list to retire too but now it's not even on my list. Bad land lords are pretty common in the Phil. but there aresome that are great so just keep looking don't be in a rush, watch out for the scam, and remember "it's more fun in the Philippines". Lot of good idea's being stated here low rent in province means you could afford a scoter maybe. You don't need a big place stop thinking like a westerner your in the Philippines now. But do make sure the room's are tall enough for Mike 😄😄.
