75,000 Philippine's pesos=~$1,275 (USD) In California, you would get a studio in some dump area of town if you're lucky for that price 😂

Don’t put a deposit on a rental if don’t know who the owner is. It is a big scam to collect as many deposits as possible and then leave the area. When you first arrive here there’s almost no chance that you’re going to find a place that you were actually looking for. Move into something that is cheap and then you can take your time looking for what you really want. You will lose your security deposit but if you spend a month in a hotel it will cost you around $650 and you may not find a place in a month. I rented two places for I finally found what I was looking for and I had to wait to get it but now I have it.

If you like it stay, if you don’t move ! 🤣

Is there any sur fishing 🎣 in dumaguete?

Thank you so much Mike and Janet for allowing us to see your private home. It's a huge privilege. Big place for $600 sounds like a good deal.

I think rental prices will see a big decrease correction mid year in 2025 at least in the Manila area. The first of the year all POGOs are to be shut down, they employed thousands of Chinese that will be forced back to China since they will actually be on a Tourist visa at that time.

Good call, grabbing your home when you did. No rush to move either. Good video, Janet and Mike...Jim

Mike, I'll be in town tomorrow. Looking for a house rental, not really worried about location, but a big back yard and/or land is a #1 requirement for me. 20-30K per month, and where the owner will allow me to landscape the land, of course that means I'm okay with yearly leases. If you see something like this, let me know, I'd appreciate it.

Wonderful open floor plan!

Nice house & yard. I really like the gazebo for relaxing outside under a covered hut. Mike--good point about keeping your leverage by not paying a year in advance--that's something I could talk myself into without thinking about the consequences. I think Janet is addicted to shoes--I don't think I've seen such a large collection of shoes outside a home--is that a Used Shoe store or is it a part of "Dumaguete Rentals"? 😀

Cozy place ❤.. That's a real nice place you guys have. Good deal too Thanks for sharing your home with us.And the renting information pointers😊.

Hello Janet and Mike so sorry to say that , in my meaning the foreigner especially from the U.S. destroy the renting prices in the phillipines ! 600 dollar for rent without anything happy days in Germany more then 50 % of pensioners have less then 1000€ it`s nearly the same in dollar Pension it´s not a joke maybe we are poor like phillipine people ! Regards from Germany , nothing for bad Janet and Mike

You guys gonna run yourself outta dumagete with these videos. Prices going up cause everybody and their mother making videos about come to Dumagete. Start making videos sending people to other islands lol 😂

Mike the place looks nice plenty of room..bit pricy but pay for what you get...I didn't see any views. Out side . You two seem very relaxed and happy there. Brian in Australia.

Why even bother building a home? Your place is perfectly fine.

Very nice information, thank you both.

600 Dollars pM and then 300 dollars for aircon as PH has incredible height electric prices & then 350 Dollars for o International HeakthCare = PH is far to expensive in housing & electric compared to other Asian countries 👎

Can you make a VISA EXTENSION there in Dumaguete. ? Thanks

How many sqm is your lot?

I think your tips for finding a place in the right area are very relevant, Mike!

Good advice from you people have you seen your buddy pauls trenches😂😂😂. Go to cebu buy or rent in a sub division end of story😂😂😂

Thank you for this information!👋

We did something similar, when we found this rental house. We still had 2 months left on the lease to our condo in Pasig (Metro Manila), but we knew finding a house like this was rare, and we needed to get our Daughter enrolled in a school in Pampanga, before the new school year began. So we were still paying 23K/month on the condo, which really wasn't bad, since we had a place to sleep, on the weekends when we went there. But I was also paying my mortgage on my U.S. house, waiting for it to sell. And my mortgage was as much as my monthly retirement income! 😲 Plus the 35K for the rental house! Sure blew through a big chunk of my savings, during that time! Otherwise, we could have bought a much bigger house, than what we ended up with. Nice yard! Something that's hard to find, here! 😢

Janet, You and Mike have a nice home. I like how you said ”My Kitchen”. 😉🤣.

Nice house. Good tour Janet :)

Your problem in the Philippines is your rental prices . I was going to come to the Philippines but the rental prices are out of control, Compared to Bangkok, Bangkok is a third of the price and better accommodation. Philippines has become too expensive .

Very nice video... Thanks so much for sharing your home... You have a lovely place..

I'm wondering if anyone could recommend a Phillipinmes consultant who would assist with a move, visa, place to stay, and hiring a caregiver-cook. Any feedback is appreciated.

Hello you had a video that I can't seem to find was a lease a Hector going towards the Japanese shrine home needed lots of work etc if you could pass on the person who handles lease I am in dumaguete now thank you kindly

Always enjoy you and Janet's rental videos..👍👍

Does alma have a WhatsApp # ? Im interested if this is still available!

Very nice and it feels like you're in Florida. But, where's the shopping center in this area?

Greetings from Hoi An central Vietnam. 28,000 pesos equities to over 12 million dong that would get you a 4 bedroom house fully furnished down to the chopsticks, with a terrase and front garden.Couple of 60 inch TV, that in my case include free 5G internet. Left the Philippines 2014 and the prices have almost doubled since then.

Is this available?

Just trying my luck, is this by any chance, available now?

Beautiful :) Not the best place to watch a Typhoon go by, but perfect the other 99.99999% of the time. Best Regards and Best Wishes!

Is the price negotiable ?

$500 way to much money

Nice apartment. Is this in downtown Dumagetti?❤

In the US $5,000.00 a month. Not $480.00 USD.

People are always talking about being remote and no neighbors, privacy, privacy, privacy, ??? What is the privacy that you are looking for? Are you planning on coming outside with no clothes on? Or walking g around your house butt naked with all the windows open??? I don't get it.

HOW MANY DOGS AND ROOSTERS DOES IT COME WITH ? 😂 🤣 😂

What can you get for 5000p per month near DumaGuete? House or apt

Hi 👋 U2. Nice large gated area with so much greenery. Great place for the $$👍. Some lucky folks will be enjoying it soon . BOK BOK Blessings 🙏🌺🌼🌸

Wonderful home! You should have showed the view from the porch at the beginning...just a small critic 😊. Janet you look amazing! Lucky Mike! Lol

Mike and Janet, great looking apartment. Reasonable price as well.

Thank you for taking the time to show this.😊

Do folks in that market give a discount if 12 months of rent is paid in one payment? Or would that be a foolish thing to do there?

Been living here 4 months. Super happy here. Owner and staff are wonderful people. We were very fortunate to find this place.

3 bedroom 2 full bath with hot water , fully furnished in gated subdivision with pool and clubhouse… 4 split type air conditioning units, carport and yard with gate and fence around the home, American style homes… 25k pesos a month….Angeles city.. no brown outs .. 15 minutes to Clark international airport and SM mall .. 5 minutes to marquee mall (Ayala)… I think dumaguete way over priced… especially for a provincial area… thanks for sharing the places… great video.
