Affordable 3-Bedroom House for Rent for only $280 per Month!

[@michaelthomas115]

Just found your channel a few days ago. Thank you for showing a view into yours and your families life. I plan to retire to PH in about 15 years if not sooner. It's very helpful to get a idea of what to not only expect but to look forward to. Thank you for always being a cheerful host while inviting us all into your lives.

[@filipinalifewithmia5208]

Thank you very much for your wonderful words! I'm happy that you found my channel interesting and that it gave you insights into living in the Philippines. I appreciate your support and I'm excited for your retirement plans. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

[@camcameron7681]

Americans coming to the philippines, know your level of living! You need at least 1500.00 usa dollars a month! A nice place in the philippines will cost over 20,000 pesos a month, or more! I am living in the philippines now! Be aware!

[@kiwipinos]

Hahaha 😂 all these yanks that need their comforts of back home. What a laugh!

[@richardhowe5583]

​@@kiwipinos you are 100% correct my friend.. I am in my late sixties and I was born and raised in Southern Louisiana.. the heat and humidity is much hotter in during the summer in Southern Louisiana then it is in the Philippines.. when I was younger I worked in the heat and I played in the heat and it never bothered me but in my older age the heat does bother me.. paying a couple hundred dollars a month for air conditioner is no problem for me in Louisiana or the Philippines.. yes sir I have to have my creature comforts..hehe.. big screen TV hooked to the internet and a really comfortable easy chair and a big kitchen to cook some good Louisiana food. When I was younger I raced motorcycles and had several motorcycles I would ride on the highway.. at my age I have lost lots of my agility and my ability to react to situations on the highway so I quit riding motorcycles on the highway about 15 or 20 years ago.. after I arrived I will buy a nice little car with air conditioner that gets good gas mileage.. whatever house I rent I will also install a portable bathtub and if I had that house I would put a hot tub on the balcony.. yes my friend I am a spoiled old Western American man but I ain't no Yankee.. I have nothing against Yankees because we are all brothers and sisters but people from the deep South do not like being called Yankees.. Yankees are the people that live above the Mason-Dixon line it's what we call them in America....hehe.. I wish you and everyone else good health and lots of happiness 👌👍🤗😎🍺🍻😁 and yes my friend in Southern Louisiana we eat alligator and lots of boiled crawfish that are in season now🦞🦞🦞🫕🫕🫕🐊🐊🐊🐊🍺🍻😁👍👌🤗😎

[@andrewbrann6231]

I live in US in Tennessee on less than 1600 USD. You can live in 80% of the world on low income. The issue is what your lifestyle is. Most western people can not live on what I live on. I even purposely lived in a storage metal building with no insulation for over 1 year for 35 USD a month to save for my 2019 trip to Philippines. That is extreme but for me I can do extreme. Also both in Philippines and Thailand I stayed with someone with no rent because the place was paid for. I helped pay food at grocery, gas for trips and utilities at both places and it was not much money.

[@franktaylor7617]

@@kiwipinos What's wrong with wanting to retire in comfort? We are willing to accept the sacrifice of living with the lower costs. Trading lower rents for a budget that allows Aircon, hot water and other comforts is pretty understandable. Rents in the US can eat up 3/4 of someone's monthly income. Doing the math isn't hard. Nevertheless. There's a balance. Some sacrifices are too big.

[@miken.2847]

​@@franktaylor7617 nothing. If you can afford it, be comfortable. If a nipa hut in the province is your dream, then enjoy. Honestly, I think this hater is just trolling (which I respect). He's probably the youngest in his family and is a born shit talker. It's our cross to bear.

[@keithd1219]

Great presentation.👍

[@homebasebelgium359]

p10,000 = $180, not $280. If it had been $280 I would have found it too expensive because the rooms are very small, no place for a dining area inside, and I would definitely require a hot and cold shower in the main bathroom. For $180 I think it is a fair price.

[@matthewgraham2546]

Mia, thanks for the tour. Only $280.00 monthly, wow. To put it in perspective, I live in Clermont, Florida or Central Florida my electric bill is about $266.00 per month.

[@PaleRider54]

If you have an wctric bill that high each month, you must not have a heat pump. Make the switch and you'll be amazed.

[@dumaguetedreaming]

While rental apartments are a good deal when you throw in transportation, food, visa fees, resort fees from using their facilities and higher prices for everything else since it's imported you may find it all equals out after all.

[@sandrabentley8111]

@Matthew Graham. Something wrong with your rhetorical system. I live in Lake County, in Tavares and pay $180 in the summer running AC 24/7. I work from home also.

[@CaptainKremmen]

Given how cheap rents are and the cost of living, do you know why hotels are so expensive in the Philippines? Compared to other neighbouring countries (Malaysia, Thailand, etc), hotels there are terrible value.

[@filipinalifewithmia5208]

There might be several reasons for the Philippines' high hotel charges. High demand for tourists, restricted competition among hotels in some places, and the high cost of hotel operations and maintenance are all possible reasons. Furthermore, certain hotels may target higher-end guests and provide luxury services, which can push up pricing.

[@johngatliff7648]

Thank you for posting this video of you and your husband's new home, Mia. The place looks awesome; it really shows that a simple life provides for a beautiful existence, especially when you have the one you love, and family. You are most fortunate. Questions: what city is this in? (This is the first video I've seen of yours.) What are the costs for the utilities you mentioned? (In Pesos is fine, I can do the math!) And thank you for being a breath of fresh air in the world!

[@user-DrJoe-Future]

Thank you for your nice video Mia. I always enjoy watching your videos. Home is what you make it. I am sure you and hubby will make it nice. If after a year you want something different, you can always look around for something with a bigger kitchen and better couch:). I have seen Expats in the Philippines making many moves to different houses and locations. Not unusual.

[@catherineH4785]

Yes I noticed the kitchen is small with not much bench space for meal prep. But otherwise a nice house, I'm sure your family will be comfortable there.

[@filipinalifewithmia5208]

Thank you very much for your nice words! I appreciate your support and am happy that you love my vids. You're correct; home is what you make it, and we'll do our best to make it beautiful. If we sense the need for a change in the future, we will look at different options. It is not unusual for expats in the Philippines to relocate several times before finding their perfect living environment. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!

someone confirm or correct me on this (in regards to expats). but I was told in the PH, you will never rarely get your deposit back but instead the landlord will let you apply it to the last months rent. how often do they not do this and scru u out of your deposit (considering you left the place the same as when you moved in).

One thing that is advisable when looking for a short term rental is what kind of access road they have. Anything not off a main road can have really convoluted access to the actual property.
