Part 1 $150 Bucks In Dominican Republic: ua-cam.com/video/N-PxFKGGDiU/v-deo.html If you guys want a part 3. Let me know in the comments and also like this video, so I know you like this type of content. Any questions on moving to Dominican republic, let me know.
@@jaredfontaine2002 Haitian are identified by being Haitian not really by color. ALot of black dominicans and I've never felt any "hate", since all families are pretty much mixed. "Hate" is word that doesn't really cover the political climate and the actual reality. Its like the Issues in the US with their border.
@TommyBryson yeah but there was some anti Haitian stuff going on down there. I am a Nomad living in Albania. Lived in Puerto Rico and Mexico. I just want to know if I am going to be harassed etc
I actually thought the exact same thing. Then I actually considered that actually some people might like to actually know exactly where his last apt was. Actually, I was thinking we might suggest he learn a wider vocabulary. Actually, this really works well now that I actually think about it. Actually all we have to do is say actually and everything just works. Lol
In the Caribbean the 'steal bars' on the windows/doors are called 'burglar proof'. They come in all sorts of patterns/styles to help prevent people from entering your property
Yeah this is great as long as you do remote work. Even 20k a year goes a long way in South America and the Caribbean. If you live here however, $280 a month is 50% of your salary.
Actually... I actually found your actual video very informative and actually descriptive, especially the actual description and actual limitations of the actual mechanical features (propane, hot water heater, etc.). And actually, I would suggest joining "Toastmasters" because you could actually have active support attendees to provide actual suggestions for minimizing the actually use of actual "fillers" during the actual verbal presentation.😄
Hey Tommy. Thanks for the tour. My cousin lives in Jarabacoa, La Vega, in one of the best neighborhoods in that province. She rents a 3-bedroom house for $275. Punta Cana is not the only safe place in DR, and if you want to live there, it's going to be very expensive.
3br for 275? Did she supply the stove fridge and all the furniture? That price in 2024 is unbelievable...would love to know where exactly that is if possible
That's what I keep telling people, Punta Cana and the capital are not the only places in Dr. It's like going to New York and wanting to live in manhattan, it's going to cost you alot
Im glad you said something about actually... this is my first time watching one of your videos, and all I could think about was actually actually actually
Salute to you Tommy! This is a dope change up from your typical videos. It’s definitely a lot cheaper living in the Caribbean especially if your salary is from the US. 2 things turn me off though- it’s always hot af and crime is nuts hence all the burglar bars everywhere. You get used to the paranoia after a while but I can’t do the heat 🥵 Visited Colombia recently and it reminded me why I left my island
The heat depends, the area where we live we have alot of trees around the area which keeps things cool. Crime also depends, like I mentioned, we have bars but more of a precaution. Like how everyone has cameras and security systems.
I live in Nigeria & I can see similarities to the DR. Rent is paid here annually. I paid about $1500 a year for 3 bedrooms & 3.5 bathrooms. Love your video
Put a small bucket of water in the DIY box!, it will help take care of of the air and lint when using your dryer! Theres also little round buckets you can screw into the wall and attach the aluminum tubing to the wall bucket!
A lot of good places, just don't rush it. Take your time when looking for apartments, and If you can get the basics and feel safe, it also works temporarily while you find something more permanent
Great video. But .35 for a 5 gallon botellón de agua??? Yea, bro lives in the countryside. 100%. Anywhere in Santo Domingo it’s 95-105 pesos. 😂 And in San Cristobal it’s 75 pesos. So you paying 35 pesos says a lot. Countryside ain’t bad but it’s not for most people. Very inconvenient for most Americans standards. Restaurants and stores very far and limited options. No jobs, education system is limited. But if you don’t have kids, work from home, and are a very old soul like Tommy, it’s great. It works. I just rented a 2 bedroom brand new unfurnished apartment in a gated community 10 min from all the action and I pay 400 monthly plus utilities. I have to install my own hot water heater and inversor but I’m happy as hell. A little extra month goes a long way. Nice apartment. Informative video.
I disagree bro. In the specific area where i live we have private schools, restaurants and mostly everything. And the stuff we don't have we can get to with a 30-45m drive. I would say though, the best education you could give kids is a home education. And the best amenities is living in a town where you feel safe and are sorround by solid people. Living in New York city I realized that having access to everything, doesn't really mean you'll us it, or that it's worth the money.
in bermuda every building has a water tank under the foundation that holds thousands of gallons of rain water that is caught from roof then 1 pump to send it in the house
Please tell your viewers where this apartment is located. When you say the Dominican Republic its kinda misleading. The country is large/ It is like showing a 3 bedroom house in rural areas of America.Yes its in America but I wouldn't tell anyone who is moving to the US to live there. I will say thats a nice apartment for the space and for someone who has some experience living in the DR or has a Dominican wife it would work, but not for a new person just moving there. Also thats a inversor not a generator.
Yo, after watching that video, I was gonna say the same thing. That price is not in a good area. You can find the same apartment for like a grand in some neighborhoods in Santo Domingo.
@@joshuahzgnah im from there and when you say a grand you talking top properties, you can rent middle of downtown with a grand, that is equal to about 59k pesos, Regular rent on a regular spot not a bad area but not the top area its about 250-400 dollars a month, Bad areas 150$ a month, so I wouldn’t say he is on a top area, but not a bad area either
Yeah this has to be faaaaaaar far from the city because trust me guys, I live in the city and rent is $400 at its lowest for a 1 bedroom/small apartment in a place where you actually have everything you need close by and it’s not super complicated to get to.
I remember you saying Puerto Rico. Didnt know you moved to DR. If you don't already have a video camparing the two places to living in the US and the pros and cons of each place, then can you makes one so I can see the difference? Seriously considering relocating! Thanks!
Make a P3 explaining/deglossing utilities qnd monthly and annual expenses. Include internet dependability and latency, transportation, fuel, insurances, mobile coverage and costs, etc. Thanks.
If someone thinks this is surviving, then they have no idea what merely 'surviving' really is. Compared to most places in the U.S., this is a luxury. Awesome find :)
I live in Dominican Republic and Yes $280 a month is good but it’s about the location and I can guarantee you that $280 is not going to get you a place in Piantini Santo Domingo. I pay $1,350 for a two bedroom apartment comes with a pool on the rooftop, 4 separate Jacuzzi on the rooftop, a sauna room on the second floor, and another pool(small) but more for kids on the second floor, gym, and a colmado in the building.
Actually, it's a nice apartment no matter where you are located, and for that price, it's a winner. One would guess that fir 1k you could live a good life, not just surviving. For me, I'd put the refrigerator in the wash room, looks like there is more than enough space to accommodate it. A part 3 would be nice, have fun , bro.
do more research before moving...go visit an area that is not a tourist area... Drive the roads where the so-called police will stop you and hustle. You for money or threatened to take you to jail.
$250 a month could not tempt me...the extreme cost of getting furniture and appliances can be overwhelming. The same with buying a car in DR. along with the high heat and extreme humidity and constant rains...no one on you tube showing cheap apartments talks about that.Plus many of the "nicer" condo and apartment areas are guarded by armed guards
Thank you for opening the doors to your beautiful home, such a bargain. FYI, I hadn't noticed how many times you said ACTUALLY till you mentioned it. 🙂
This is the first video i watched from you, and actually, you do actually say actually a lot. 😂 I didn't notice it till you brought it up. You can say what you want, man, it's your channel. 😂👍
Now I see why my hairdresser who works here in the US was able to buy land...build a house and furnish it with the money she makes here...I would love todo the same!
After you actually informed us that you say actually alot, I counted 24 times you said it till the end of the video, not counting before you made us aware,lol. Good video tho
Nice video, but you forgot to mention where the apartment is located, since in the DR prices vary a lot depending where you are, specially in the countryside where you have limited access to things like high speed internet or blackouts are more frequent than in the big cities. If you're happy living in the countryside good for you but us Dominicans avoid the countryside as much as we can
It means almost everyone in the DR prefer to live in Santo Domingo because there's nothing to do and resources are limited in the rest of the country, except for cities like Santiago, Puerto Plata and Punta Cana.
Damn. So cheap. I don't remember things being cheap at all when I was in the DR. When I was in punta Cana everything was even more expensive than where I live in Florida. Where do you live now? What city is this? Because food was more expensive. Taxis were insanely expensive, rent was way way. Way more expensive. $3,000 a month for the place that I was in temporarily. Cana rock.
@@TommyBryson I don't remember you saying your apartment is. Can you tell me what city you live in? I'd be interested in exploring getting an apartment like this
He’s purposely not telling people. For safety I can understand completely…but then on the other hand it makes his videos (particularly the prices we can expect) seem questionable as hell. It can be quite misleading for most of us that wanna live in the cities.
What a sweet little place you've shown us. Thank you, brother! Now, you "actually" need to consult a thesaurus to improve your presentation. Do it on purpose. You can practice reading so your mind and tongue have more to work with. You seem very trustworthy, do you assist people in finding accommodations? God bless you, brother.
I only actually noticed he says actually a lot when he actually said he says actually a lot and he’s actually working on saying actually less but I actually continued watching to hear how much more he’d actually say actually and he actually didn’t disappoint. 😂
I got an idea to move the gallon to the laundry area, which would leave us with more space. Moving the fridge to the laundry area would be a hassle for my wife and I
You forgot to show the neighborhood in which such living place is located, since there can be other issues with the Dominican Republic, like access to goods and services, transportation and particularly for darker skin people etc.

🤣😂. I actually am ok with his actually sayins. What I can't stand when people keep saying Um, Um, Um while talking and like, like, or like um..

$280 is dinner for 3 in some cities here..
That is crazy to think but very true
It's crazy
In NY, that will be about weekly pay for a room to share kitchen and bath.
@@TommyBryson
What City in Dominican Republic is that in?
So true
I actually can't unsee the multiple times you actually said the word, "Actually". My captions were on too lol. Good video!
lol we need a live counter, I think I can download the captions and count it 😂😂
Actually, I was about to mention that😅
It's as bad as someone overusing the word "Like"😊
If you got some Presidentes, take a sip/shot every time he says "actually" 😅🍻
Lol I don't recommend that
No! You’d die from alcohol poisoning 😂
...But before I do that 😂
That monthly rent amount is amazing!
Yup
Absolutely!
Where place in Dominican republic 🇩🇴
Hi Tommy, I am a retired US Navy and US marine veteran and I like all of your videos. Happy New to you and your family.
In New York City, alot of us have the steel bars on the first floor windows as well and our doors.
Wow, I love seeing how people live in other countries. Tommy, I'm so happy for you and your wife.👍💯💝😊
Thank you! God is good. 🙏😎
I hadn't even paid attention to the "actually" until you brought it up and now I can't help but to focus on it🤣
😅😂😂😂😂😂😂
same 🤣🤣
Same here 😂 it became annoying
In the Caribbean the 'steal bars' on the windows/doors are called 'burglar proof'. They come in all sorts of patterns/styles to help prevent people from entering your property
I would Never live in an area with bars on doors or windows. Dangerous neighborhood 😮
Hi, FYI: Avocado trees take about 15 year to produce fruit, unless you graft it with an producing tree.
also you cant start in water and then transplant. must org ne in dirt to grow proper plant.
My boy just thought he was eating avocado any time soon :(
Yeah this is great as long as you do remote work.
Even 20k a year goes a long way in South America and the Caribbean. If you live here however, $280 a month is 50% of your salary.

Lol thanks
You should put the water on top of the fridge. You just need a longer tube.
I thought 🤔 the same thing! 😄
That is a beautiful living space. You are a smart, business savvy man! Your family is truly blessed.
Hey Tommy. Thanks for the tour. My cousin lives in Jarabacoa, La Vega, in one of the best neighborhoods in that province. She rents a 3-bedroom house for $275. Punta Cana is not the only safe place in DR, and if you want to live there, it's going to be very expensive.
3br for 275? Did she supply the stove fridge and all the furniture?
That price in 2024 is unbelievable...would love to know where exactly that is if possible
Hiya. She supplied everything. The house came empty. Once you buy your own fridge and stove, you can take them with you when you move.
@@franksoto1020 wow thats great. Thanks for sharing

Wow! That's awesome. I want to move there. That's less than my grocery bill.
It's awesome, if you can make a good amount of money from here, it makes sense
Would love to see part 3 and the difference between small towns and big cities!
On the way
actually good for you that you can actually fully fit into this actual bathrooom and not only in parts

Word. How much could I expect to spend monthly for a similar apartment that’s furnished? (Specifically if I’m using Airbnb)
I disagree bro. In the specific area where i live we have private schools, restaurants and mostly everything. And the stuff we don't have we can get to with a 30-45m drive.
I would say though, the best education you could give kids is a home education. And the best amenities is living in a town where you feel safe and are sorround by solid people.
Living in New York city I realized that having access to everything, doesn't really mean you'll us it, or that it's worth the money.
I live in La Romana and I pay ,35 pesos for a 5 gallon water bottle. D.R. is a very inexpensive place to live.
I get water delivery in Santo Domingo for 75dop for a botellón. It was 60 a few months ago.
The hefty prison bars on the doors and windows tell me everything I need to know.
no really, even the president house has it. brother i live in very wealthy city of bergen county nj AND LET ME TELL YOU I FEEL SAFER IN DR.
That’s standard in Caribbean countries. I didn’t even pay attention to it until he mentioned it. It’s so normal.
Wish I had them and I live in Long Island ny
Yeah it's a standard here
It’s cheaper than what people pays for alarm systems in USA and other countries.
When you went to the roof, I can see all the greenery, looks like paradise 🍹
in bermuda every building has a water tank under the foundation that holds thousands of gallons of rain water that is caught from roof then 1 pump to send it in the house

Exactly
THATS MY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY!!! 🇩🇴 🇩🇴 QUE VIVA LA REPUBLICA DOMINICANA!!
I live in Dominican Republic and Yes $280 a month is good but it’s about the location and I can guarantee you that $280 is not going to get you a place in Piantini Santo Domingo. I pay $1,350 for a two bedroom apartment comes with a pool on the rooftop, 4 separate Jacuzzi on the rooftop, a sauna room on the second floor, and another pool(small) but more for kids on the second floor, gym, and a colmado in the building.
Thats fancy, location is important. I care more about safety than amenities.
Actually, it's a nice apartment no matter where you are located, and for that price, it's a winner. One would guess that fir 1k you could live a good life, not just surviving. For me, I'd put the refrigerator in the wash room, looks like there is more than enough space to accommodate it. A part 3 would be nice, have fun , bro.
Being a Dominican myself, you need 2 more batteries for the inverter, total of 4. It looks like 2.5 maybe 3 kilo inverter. You will thank me later.
Thanks for the tip! I'll have to upgrade!
This is actually informative I’m actually looking into moving
Thanks
do more research before moving...go visit an area that is not a tourist area... Drive the roads where the so-called police will stop you and hustle. You for money or threatened to take you to jail.
The steel bars are an issue if there is a fire and they cannot be opened or removed. You are stocked in. That happened to family I know.
Love these type of videos
More on the way
Move the gallon under the microwave put a hole into the refrigerator that should fix the problem.
Why don't you put the gallon in the laundry area and run a hose from there to the fridge? That way, the fridge won't protrude.
That's a good idea, I usually try not to put wholes in the wall, when I'm renting but this could be a good solution
This is a nice place! Did you have to buy your own appliances? Thanks for sharing
Yeah the apartment comes with nothing just the heater
My friend Brent and i made a drinking game out of him saying actually. RIP Brent.
Fabulous value! Some difficulty, but you're handling it well.
$250 a month could not tempt me...the extreme cost of getting furniture and appliances can be overwhelming. The same with buying a car in DR. along with the high heat and extreme humidity and constant rains...no one on you tube showing cheap apartments talks about that.Plus many of the "nicer" condo and apartment areas are guarded by armed guards
The cage fence with huge lock at entrance tells you everything you need to know…
Counted 28 actuallys after you said you were going to stop saying actually! 😂 great content
My goodness
I actually love this
Likewise
Make part 3 , good 💯. I hit like 👍🏾
Can you tell us in which city and neighborhood of DR is your home?
Let's think of his safety
Oh I could tell. That stood out to me the moment the camera hit it…
The only problem with DC is it shares an island with Haiti.......still interesting........
this is quite fancy for the regular house in DR as a Dominican. , most houses are build in he 70s, 80s and 90s and don't have heaters
I've been there. it's a great country we have to adjust to the living. Im coming back in a few months. Best regards
The island waits
Thank you for opening the doors to your beautiful home, such a bargain. FYI, I hadn't noticed how many times you said ACTUALLY till you mentioned it. 🙂
Congratulations 🎊 blessings 🌸
Genuinely though, your video did inspire me. Thank you again ❤
I'm glad to hear it! 😎
Campo Life. Gotta be clear what part $280us would be.
237 actually count. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I fug wit it
Is that a legit count ?
Turn the fridge to the side and get a tube long enough to put the gallon on top of the fridge

Dang you said actually over 100 times!!

U can put patio sofas and table and chairs on the roof. Bunch of plants too
I miss my country 😢 soon i would move there ❤

Said actually everthing, except actually what part of the Dominican Republic. IT WILL ACTUALLY HELP HOWEVER THOUGH TO SEE THE AREA.
