A Typical $80 Expat Apartment!!! Expat Kenny’s All Settled In !!! Looks Awesome!!

[@MrPogiBalut]

Having lived in the Philippines 29 years and being American I would advise you not pour money into an apartment it’s not uncommon for the land lord ask you to move out and they re rent the place for more money because you upgraded the place I’ve seen that happen a few times.

[@chillinvillan5472]

I spent four years on nuclear submaries for three months at a time. An apartment that size would fit me just fine. Thanx for the info.

[@MrSteven5975]

I was on the 645 and 624 !!! 41 for Freedom !!! The Polk and Wilson !!!

[@Synfulz]

For $80 a month that is a nice setup. Comfortable living. A place like that makes a 1K budget feasible.

[@tberg6125]

Thats promising! I pay 800$ for just about the same in Norway!!!

[@LeahandBlair]

Yes cosy! Great 👍

[@paulducharme4237]

Very sweet little apartment 😊

[@MrJrweir]

Tastefully done, and his space utilization is on the spot, a new skill set, interior designer.

[@MrSteven5975]

Great place

[@rignacio9586]

You can't really beat that!

[@daviddarden1915]

That was a interesting condo view that size in the Philippines. Last time I seen something that size was when I was station in Japan. Which would have cost so much more money. Excellent setup. He even made it look roomy with the drum sets too. Thank you for that great view in the Philippines. From US American Air Force Security Police Military veteran who was station in Clark Air Base, back in the day.

[@ianphillips6871]

Unbeatable value

[@MrSteven5975]

Definitely

[@A-RHINO-IN-THE-PHILIPPINES]

Very Great job.

[@FOCUSonASIA13]

You can't beat that for $80. I will check out something similar in Angeles City area but I assume will hard to find anything in a decent area for less than $150. About to do a video on some hotels and apartments here prior to the "opening".

[@tinmanrobby]

Excellent, just what I need in the next few Months. Perfect.

[@wallylove]

thank you for sharing these sorts of videos, informative enough to consider moving in something like that when my retiring time comes around

[@napoleonmdusa8877]

Excellent! This is what I would like to have created when I get out there and live there for my "base" while also traveling to other areas and countries.

[@michaellee2652]

Very nice set up! Also like you have mentioned Steve with the local furniture makers you can customize everything and that's exactly what I would do. Have everything set up for you and you will be good to go! Great job Kenny!

[@gilberturesti338]

nice place, the rent prices vary according to location. In this video the rent prices are relatively lower. Living in places like Manila, Angeles City or cities near by the prices are higher, but way less than U.S. or European prices. This is a accurate video for a "single" expat wanting to move or temporary live in the Philippines.

[@blongsiab]

Nice good to know now you got me thinking

[@hg2.]

Fantastic.

[@sl123sl]

Done in very nice taste

[@saleemakhtar87]

Very nice !!!

[@teacherjohnsadventure9550]

The place came out nice..utilized the space quite well...I am interested in a place like that..thanks for sharing my friend

[@pilippepine3299]

Cool place..even room for is electronic drums..hehe

[@vavoom1022]

Real nice. The cabintry guy should really be complimented.

[@MrSteven5975]

Romnick is fantastic

[@wwtam892]

Cool...nice and cosy too.

[@Chu6um]

Seems nice and cozy! Nice that the owners let their tenants do some modifications at all. It's a win-win scenario. Stay safe.

[@dfiniin6820]

Great video. Do you have any videos on what other (bigger) places would look like? Maybe what a $200, $400 and $600 would look like. That would be interesting.

[@paulosterhout6573]

This is a comfy looking Apt. love those cabinets

[@cadizwilmo9687]

Wow big difference with his personal touches added to it. Thanks for the tour Steve. We love these kind of videos!

[@jonasaquilayan7777]

I liked it!!.... for 1 person should be enough.

[@daviddodge9607]

Nice quality little appartment for one ☝️. I would love one of that quality but a little bigger for a few more pesos. Love the woodwork.

[@Gurkha9]

Fantastic for the price

[@tomper2204]

Ahh exactly what I stay in as well, this is all you need, and if you have to walk away you have not lost much, question: did Kenny have to give the landlord a set of keys?

[@ariefraiser140]

$80 per month but he had to put in about $1500 renovations. It's not bad but you better be damn sure you want to stay long term.

[@craigmccracken3104]

He's done a good job! Amazing price also.

[@Sweet-T-Mama]

VERY nice! 😁

[@patrickmctube]

That is great!

[@delawaresurf5422]

Nice batches or pad, steve

[@marlecmarine5393]

Very nice little place, he has done a great job, small is beautiful.........

[@I.can.do.8]

Very nice

[@elitepctech]

Wow. That looks nice.

[@yollylewis9093]

Perfectly fine for even a couple! You have everything you need!

[@winduncan9818]

I guess my question would be how long of a lease could I get if investing $1400 into "pre paid rent". Place looks nice but if only a one year lease that's $200 a month. Still good value but I'd be looking for like a 3 year lease if going through the trouble.

[@mateor7302]

It turned out great and perfect for one person

[@thomasphillips2719]

Wow , thanks for the video and the tour of this apartment , I’m going to meet you soon I hope , I’m coming in the near future to meet my fiancé

[@nothing563019]

Love it ! thats literally all i need and the 1400 he put into it is money well spent. Only other thing id add is see if its possible to connect a small generator

[@I.can.do.8]

Beautiful!!!

[@pattskatoey3139]

It’s comfy. You can’t complain for the price.

[@elenaceleste4363]

Eventhough it's someone's elses apartment owner a tenant can improve a rental? This vlog is 2 yrsago. Nice improvement!❤

[@bobarnold5992]

Cheap but to small for us, just not what we are use to. We rented a 2 bed, 2 bath, 2 kitchen, 2 storey end unit town house with a small balcony & a covered parking slot just off a main road in a gated compound for $275 Canadian per month. It's new & only about a 10 minute drive to SM City Pampanga & the NLEX. We have room for guests to stay & even plenty of extra parking. I'm not saying your friends place isn't fine for one person just that it wouldn't work for us.

[@smokymountainmodeler3054]

Nice and homey set up.

[@maxbrown5471]

loved it Steve, great price, leaving more money towards the rest of the monthly expenses, thank you.

[@williamsinns419]

Good job ! Perfect place for single person

[@johnpaulwebb3440]

Very nice the way he organized things.

[@surreycase]

I could definitely live there. Just the right size

[@davidkaiser810]

This is definitely a bachelors apartment. I couldn't see two people living in this apartment

[@ronaldch7365]

Looks great

[@thomaspoore3615]

I always see the TV or stereo wires, speaker wires with a rats nest of wires. For 10 bucks buy a wire holder. Not only holds the wires but it holds your rats nest of wires hiding the mess

[@AL-vw7kx]

what? 80 bucks for one bedroom.. fk.. i'm going home! ... Here in U.S. for a studio and thats either the attick or basement with pipes for your ceiling for 900 to 1k bucks! that view from the window showing us is like looking out Cali or Florida! Where is this at?

[@beisdj0]

Thats a really nice set up! It's perfect for a single man or a couple.

[@joelajeunesse1900]

It’s small, but very nice. The rent price is also very very small. Thanks for the share.

[@CycoPatPonfe]

Wow $80? + $$$ improvements. And With that set up. That’s a steal! And very westernized Set up as well! Awesome. Salamat for sharing! 🙏🇺🇸❤️🇵🇭☝️

[@peternielsen203]

Another good informative video mate. Cheers. :)

[@JOHNHSMITH2]

I almost want to get me one and my girlfriend one separate next door for that price. Haha.

[@geoffhewitt2544]

thanks so much

[@paulz6491]

Very nice!! Even if he left after a year the money spent making the apartment comfortable would have been well worth it!!

[@MrSteven5975]

Definitely

[@gregc3947]

Definitely don’t want an apartment neighbor with drums lol

[@MrSteven5975]

He wears headphones because it’s electric drums

[@injanhoi1]

Wow 80 bucks. That is cheap and you get a great apartment. Is it easy to find a place that cheap? I'm planning to go to General Santos in 2024 to stay.

[@MrSteven5975]

It’s easy to find in my area

[@indidesitourer585]

That is excellent as just for 2 people it's enough space to live, just need space for laundry and parking

[@KinteDynasty]

That's plenty of room for me. May want something a little larger to accomodate "company" Like that price range. You may want to mention the total costs with utilities, food, etc. Yeah, the good 'ol Budget breakdown to get a fuller picture.

[@MrSteven5975]

You could live like a Cheap Charlie in this apartment very easily.

[@andersstreifeldt2990]

Rather unique? isn`t it? The standard and the rent. A lot of them in the area?

[@honeyhonesty3784]

It's nice looking definitely. My concern is what if the landlord raises rent too much or doesn't renew the contract for whatever reason, in that case moving everything to another place is doable you think? I know labor is cheap there though..

[@MrSteven5975]

Yes

[@tony-ce7qp]

i love that place you do great video!

[@MrSteven5975]

Thanks Tony 🙏🏻👍

[@welshxrp906]

Love this. It would be ideal for me. Have you any links to a website with such properties?

[@MrSteven5975]

Contact my girlfriend on Facebook at facebook.com/dhetterj77

[@MrSteven5975]

Facebook Marketplace too

[@methemonkeyking]

That’s unbelievable. I have a parking spot at BGC that I’m renting out to tenants for 5000 pesos per month.

[@MrSteven5975]

Love it !!!! Lol

[@RealGaryGibson]

That's really great for $80/month! There's no way to get anything close to that in the USA.

[@mikecapricciuolo9226]

nice

[@seanmurphy8674]

Wow what a deal what more do you need.for the money.

[@markmercury4401]

Nice decent Appartement. What area is IT please?

[@admindesk2760]

Impressive for the price! I might go insane in such a small space. The only way I could do it is if there was an outdoor living area that could also be enhanced. Like your outdoor Cabana area outfitted with a TV and all the trappings. Yeah, that would make this a contender. But as for Kenny, I hope he gets a lot of enjoyment out of it long-term. ... AND BTW, could you take a guess in how much square feet he has? I'm guessing 15 ft. X 10 ft.... that's 150 square feet???? Could that be???

[@walkerskii]

Nice video thank you! This is a sincere question, why does he put the TVs mounted so high up? It hurts my neck to look up like that, but maybe there is there a good reason he mounted the bedroom TV near the ceiling and the living room nearly as high?

[@MrSteven5975]

He likes them higher

[@Srichardson64]

80 bucks here you can't even rent a closet lol

[@tomassmith5461]

WOW! same size apartment in California would be $2000. Thanks for the video

[@barrythacker7281]

I hope the landlord does not go up much on his rent? My summer place is 350 square feet. I have a storage unit in USA that is that much$. Get you a moped and live good on the cheap.

[@miniwolfang9563]

What province is this located? It's so NICE!

[@MrSteven5975]

Cavite in Luzon. It’s in Trece Martires City

[@BELAIR2000]

What would the size of that condo be, about 24sqm or so? I looking at retiring in Cebu soon, how can I find such places their. I gonna try searching, but mostly cost like 12,000p to 18,000p So for $80 Thats a good deal....

[@mrbear3487]

2,300 apartment in Los Ángeles

[@frankkluz9787]

I do have to wonder just how long the owner will allow him to stay there for $80 a month - knowing he could get much more - now ? -- He could jack it way up next lease ? - Then it's pay a lot more rent or move ?

[@MrSteven5975]

They are all the same prices in this neighborhood

[@AGGirl]

Pretty dang cheap and it is for only 1 person is ok not bad better than no place to stay. Enjoy living in PI

[@jonasaquilayan7777]

May I know where is this located? That $80 is fixed? Do they accept short time renting like maybe 2-3 months only? Thank you

[@MrSteven5975]

It’s in Trece Martires City and it’s a fixed rate with leases.

[@aurelio-reymilaorcabal9669]

Less than $100/ month and $1400 in improvements for longterm stay is a deal! Nannies rent "weekender" rooms for $200 a month here in Toronto,and a batchelor apartment is $1000, ,one bedroom apartments $1200. We are expecting 20 cmto 30 cm of snow today to tomorrow, I still have to shovel the other half of driveway that got almost 2 feet of snow 2 weeks ago, ran out of places to throw it to. We need to start our Immigration process , regain Philippine citizenship.

[@nicoz7662]

How much did the TVs cost?

[@MrBillybathgate5]

Nice

[@patriotexpat]

Wow!!!!

[@DM-ng7ty]

Hi, where in the Philippines? Good video and sharing. Thanks!

[@MrSteven5975]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@vwandtiny3769]

i pay 100$ per month in Bayugan and did a similiar arrangement, still working on the hot water though, did he install that also? i also have a washer and spinner on the patio outback...

[@auckie]

so his neighbours have to put up with his drumming?

[@MrSteven5975]

Electric Drums are quiet with headphones

[@CycoPatPonfe]

Frugal living 👍

[@devonferris]

Where is this place? I am moving back to Phillipines at the end of April would live to get a place here for that cheap.
