70k a month is to much. I think 50k per month is appropriate. The reason those small kitchen appliances are in the cabinets is because there is only a small amount of counter space. The tv in the downstairs bedroom is at a bad angle. I would much rather have a cabinet/counter top w/sink than a pedestal sink. A beautiful pool and very nice room and roof deck is the best selling points for this house.
I sell Real Estate in Los Angeles CA, I like the way you show properties, I think I’m going to start doing videos on my listings just like your style of showing.
Amazing home. Michael, just a suggestion. I can't imagine I am the only one that has fallen in love with your entire family, including you. No homo. Perhaps it's time to update your outro with a clip of yourself, Kat, and Lara. The smiles when you are all together is just such a feel good moment. Your channel, your call, just a suggestion.
Is not what I am expecting. I live over there 6 months at the time and sometimes more. I come to realize that, they don’t built nothing for locals to buy or rent, and the reason is us. We pay what we think is cheaper than here, that way locals become homeless and squatters. You want to help Philippines get out of 3 world status and help local people have a life stop paying for a divided garage $400, and let a local family with kids rent it. We need to do our part.
Michael, this would be a great business for you. Using your platform to help foreigners find long-term housing options. Maybe have a channel just dedicated to rentals or sales?
Real easy folks house built with locals 12-15k peso per square meter, mid grade with a contractor 20-25k high end with contractor 30k and up. Land per square meter all depends where your buying it. Where I live it's average 4-5k per square meter (Cavite near Tagaytay). Buying a house and don't like something, well change it labor is cheap. I seen comments about no screens on windows, come on man buy some dame screens then. Local labor on average for a carpenter is 12 dollars a day and labor person 8 dollars. Sure they don't have MLS system here but there are plenty of land values, tax records etc in the city office. No one is just guessing prices, the ones who do and over price it just won't sell anyways.
You’ve clearly never had a pool next to the beach 😂 it’s quite nice Sometimes people want to just in for 5 min. Sometimes you don’t want to worry about marine life. Sometimes it’s hot and end of day. Sometimes it’s just nice to have a pool next to the beach I guess why own a car when you have to legs.
Good video, but don't like the jealousy windows, those are pretty old style. Its a good idea to have windows that can open up though. great price on the first home for rent though. On the second house what the heck was that next to the water pump? 8:58 Looks like a freezer but know that it is not. Nice Carrier unit in the living room. This would be a really nice short term rental. Nice tile on the top floor patio. Like the top floor room though, pretty cool. Nice place, too bad they dont pay the utilities though if you rent by the month. Looks like a nice subdivision to buiild on though. Thanks for the video, Michael...Jim
Both of these are excellent.. but one's first thought is, surely there will soon be other properties going up beside or around them..? They're on parcels of land that one assumes will eventually be built on. And when that happens you're living beside a construction site for two years.
The second home is pretty nice. Why no screens on the windows in the first home? Are there simply no screens on windows in the PH? Seems odd since it's a tropical location and things can both crawl and fly into your house.
The 70k one is good for 2 family's ,the should have put seperated entrys ,would have make it more afortebel for montly payment 35000 php ,is good if you would split the rent in 2 for 2 familys
Just came back from Phil with my Filipina wife. Probably looked at over 30 homes from Baguio to Caveti. What I realized is that almost ALL of the homes were brand new and never lived in. Point is...not only are you paying for the land, the home itself, but you are also paying for the profit the Filipino family who had the house built for the sole purpose of selling it or renting it would like to make and this often times has no basis. This is just the family wishing or guessing on a profit margin. Land, homes, rent really has almost no foundation or basis. Its literally all over the place. Even a fair deal is a fair deal based on what? There is not much basis.
@garrydye2394 You can buy a lot and build yourself. The profit is for those people who have put the money up front and gambled on a successful build. Thats what you are paying for if you have to pay for a home already built.
Based on what the buyer will pay for it. The highest bidder is always the winner on any transaction Seriously you sound like you’re 15. Is anything worth the price that is paid. Apple makes 30% margins on the iPhone. They aren’t really worth $999. But they are because people want what comes with it. And any starting company usually sells products for a loss yet they aren’t the most sought after as they are technically undervalued ( a Rivian is about 140k in costs but sell for $80k. So why aren’t everyone in the world flocking to buy a Rivian ) because it’s worth what people will pay for it! Go get an online economics class
@@ssing7113 it's not that simple in the Philippines. It's just not. In the west you have market pressures that are nonexistent in the Philippines. Property tax, Insurance, Interest, Laws even play a factor. Not in the Philippines, it's whatever they want and they'll sit on it forever. You also got owners charging one price for one demographic and another price for another. They'll literally change their price right in front of you, and if you refuse to pay higher they'll tell you to bug off. OP is right about no common sense in the Philippine Real Estate market, you can't just apply everything you learned in high school or college economics and apply it here. It's the Wild West, all of SEA is. The major cities are a bit more competitive and realistic, but not to Western standards.
45k tops. Thanks for the video but just for the area and the size of the place even though it has a pool it’s just not worth 70k. Price gouging the gringos big time.
Wow that is big money and to each their own i suppose. We prefer a nicer yard that gets us out of the house. Our beach house is quite big,too big for us and has a massive yard and our total budget excluding travelling is less than 40K. I couldnt justify 70K just for a shelter
I've got to agree with some of the others. I think both places are overpriced. The small house is tiny and unfurnished, so I'd think around 12,000 might be reasonable. As for the big house it's nice but 70,000 (and I still think in Canadian dollars) is pushing $1,700.00 a month and that's without the utilities. I also kind of wonder about bugs and snakes with the amount of uncleared property around the places. There's bound to be someone that rents them at those prices but my guess is they may have to wait quite a while to find the right (wealthy) people.
Good job on showcasing the properties but unfortunately they are overpriced. Not on the beach. I have seen houses for 650 U.S. actually on the beach with a guest house. So many properties with reasonable prices.
The wrap around balconies on the second home is not safe for children - those railings running horizontally gives them the perfect opportunity to climb and possibly fall over! Luxury is relative - Especially in the Philippines!
Bit to mutch for my walletthe 70k one ,but the 20k looks nice ,just about both the silence ,i don't know depending what the future plans are if the start building more and more houses there ,the beauty and silence can be so ripped away ,just that wal between living room and kitchen i not like mutch also the should have maked a corner kitchen would be bether ,just don't understand wht the put electricity abouve the ground with all thous wires ,should be bether in a water tube under the ground like the do here in Belgium ,would also bether against Thyphoons ,btw thanks for your Vlogs i like them all the time ,most time if see other vlogs alot are disrespectfull ,but your vlogs i like alot
hi cool homes 70,000 month in roxas city Cadiz no way I pay this amount its 3 storey and all stairs no lift u say elevators bugger those stairs the pool the best thing rent to high im sure a lot forigner with many friends or filipinos rent it as a few friends thats a lot money maybe 50,000 month they get someone loyal
Not bashing but Roxas seems very overpriced IMHO. You can get cheaper in nice subdivisions in the nice part of Cebu City like Banilad and Talamban. 20K for that small, unfurnished place is crazy expensive.
Hey brotha, is your family back home ok? I forget where you live in Canada but a 6.5 earthquake is still strong. Hope they are all ok. That 70k per month house is super nice for the price! Glad to see you back to making travel videos again!
That is not big money I pay 1000 wife pays 500 All household bills are paid 1000 is less than 40 a day Most make that in 1 or 2 hours. Just work 3 or 4 hours a day I did it for 24 out of 34 years. It wasnt hard at all. Can be 2 classes a day at a corporation or university.
if you pay 70k p/m, you are basically saying that is a $300,000 property. that is NOT a $300,000 property and! its in a 3rd world country!!!!! omg. some people are so dumb
@@Julian-ez3iq that's about correct houses like this sell for about 16m pesos. Not sure where you live in the Philippines but you should travel to actual 3rd world countries and you'll see why the Philippines has the fastest growing GDP in south Asia. Perhaps it's better if you share your description of what you think makes a place third world?
@@ThatPhilippinesLife coming over for my 4th trip today as it goes. . last time i checked, france where i am, (and from gb where i also compare prices as a developer myself), isnt a 3rd world country. the rentals and purchase prices i see there, are comparable to here. but, to be fair in the usa you are very well paid, (over paid), compared to the EU even..... so, if you have the money to burn, so be it.....
@@ThatPhilippinesLifeThe Philippines is overpriced. The bubble will burst soon. This property is no worth 70k. The rooms are tiny with no space LOL. Imagine paying 70k for a house in a place that has poor Internet, electric always cuts out, terrible health care and poor infestructure. Takes them months to fix a road.
These places are never available. I would rent it out anyway it is not next to anything. It is too hot. Nothings around to go shopping. Everything’s expensive go to Thailand. Things are cheaper.
@@quazimutato this is a four bedroom massive house with a pool and rooftop party place, how much would that be a month in a city near you? If you do the math it's probably relative and the Philippines is strict on citizens only buying land so it changes the market too. For example when I live in Mississauga Canada my tiny studio apartment was $2500 Canadian per month rent (that is now listed at $4k a month) it was an oversized shoe box
@@ThatPhilippinesLife That was Canada and this is the Philippines so it's an apples to French fries comparison..... That's like living on another planet. $1,300 per month for that house is highway robbery even by Filipino standards and it's far from HUGE, those bedrooms look like they struggle to fit a queen sized better nevermind a king size one. I wouldn't pay more than $900 a month for that place in the location it's in
Where in the Philippines is the average wage 44k pesos? It’s closet to 12k-15k. Regardless 44k is high. I never paid more than 30k for a very nice place.
I hope to find more to show you one day here, link to the contact for these two houses is facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057433659835&mibextid=ZbWKwL
Nice large windows with no bug screens. Priceless.
Finally a house I would rent!
Wow..way better than my house in Canada. It's luxurious even by Canadian standards.
Both places are nice and a great location
70k a month is to much. I think 50k per month is appropriate. The reason those small kitchen appliances are in the cabinets is because there is only a small amount of counter space.

That’s good value 👍
The second house is a really nice house. Good for a large family or a group of friends to rent.
Enjoyed the tours, thank you for showing a range of options. 😊
Nice places especially for the price. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
Mike this small house looks fitted for me. I could make my own furnishings. Put some solar backups here we go.
price is fair for short term rental . for long term like 3 years or more just find a cheap rental with a huge lot and build a swimming pool.
I hate to say this but that’s a garage divided in to small rooms for $400. We really appreciate your videos.
You're expecting 1st world luxurys in a third world country, get real.

Just guessing here probably because there is no gap between the cement walls and floor?
they fall off. Not easy to attach to the concrete and a hiding place for the bugs
