I always use Airbnb as I never spend more than a month in Cebu. So far for me Mactan Newtown is the best although its one hours bus ride to Ayala or 500 pesos by taxi but I get double sizes condo for the same price and no pollution like in IT Park.

These are great informational videos. I lived in Mabolo in a high rise Condo for 4 yrs in two different units. It's close to IT park but the rent is a little lower. I've walked around IT Park before and if you want the conveniences it's definitely worth it. I'm getting ready to return to the PH I miss flying into Cebu Mactan Airport because it's such an easy airport to fly into. I'd like to consider moving back to Cebu but a relationship is diverting me elsewhere in the Philippines.

Thanks for sharing Steve. Relationships is what drives many to a particular region. Good luck.

After talking to a few expats it seems you get more bang for your buck in Thailand. You can get a 48 sqm studio for $400 USD, in the Pattaya/Jomtien area. Prices in Thailand vary just like the Philippines and the condo owners in Thailand will negotiate a lower price. Infrastructure is way better in Thailand. Cebu city seems to be over priced when comparing price to the size. A lot of expats have moved to Thailand as the cost of living is lower and better food, plus a lot more choices on western cuisine. Thanks for the video

Good points. I have several friends who bounce between countries. Thai English...or lack of it is an issue for many. My friend just returned to Thailand and they told him he would have to apply for a more permanent visa as too many trips in as a tourist.

[@JosephThompson-mu4ey]

Great video! I think real estate folks in the Philippines can learn the real estate game from Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, and other southeast Asian real estate industry. The idea is to fill rental property with paying customers who will give them repeat business. I suspect the Philippine real property folks have over price and over valued their rental property. Thailand is a prime example of how to lower the real estate price points as well as include package deals with utilities. The Philippines is a developing country. Why would anyone want to pay high rent or buy these properties that are price in some cases higher than the western countries price points. Hopefully, the Philippines real estate agencies will learn how to play the game to win by providing value and package deals with reasonable price points. Just a thought but will probably never happen. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. Its a sad way of doing business but hey its the Philippines!

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

I am told developers set prices here Joseph. My feeling is that they are over building with thousands of units coming online in the next couple of years. I was told that happened in Thailand many years ago resulting in lower prices and competition.

[@JosephThompson-mu4ey]

@@AmazingPhilippines1 Thanks!

[@robocop581]

The Philippines has thousands of Call Centers and BPOs. The foreign companies usually hire Foreigners to manage these outsourcing centers and offices. The Foreigners are given a hefty housing allowance. Our condos in Manila are leased to Foreign Executives and their companies pay two months deposit plus one year's rent up front. So what is it that Thailand can teach rental investors like me. I'm curious

[@eduardomaldonado1647]

word of advice go talk to a local real estate agent who does apartment, house rentals you will get better prices for your money. The stuff on the internet is way overpriced because they cater to the foreigners.

[@bonzotalonzo9072]

I remember us meeting a agent once I believe at the Grand Residence in that area. How many units did u scoop up over the years Sir Rody ?

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

[@ceburockhead]

Its relative high compared to other Asian countries because of the demand specially foreigners ,,,IT PARK in Lahug is the most safest area in the City since if is managed like the security by a private firm AYALA , its like a bubble within the City . As you can see there are no sidewalk vendors ,. It has. clean roads, well trimmed trees , underground utilities cables , 24/7 security, w perimeter fence, manned security in the entry exit area, practically 24/7 retails shops

[@theblackboxpodcastshow1791]

So your Advice would be to rent an Air bib for a few weeks and then go rental hunting once I'm there, or should I trust the website to set up everything for me before I get there, because in person I can negotiate for leasing/deposit options?

I’ve found IT Park to be a nice location for shopping and coffee shops but, it is not on the level of Ayala Business Park. For example, if you need JRC Immigration Services, HSBC Bank, Utility payments, you won’t find it in the IT Park. I consider the IT Park to be just a smaller less affluent self contained community. The Condominium Towers in IT Park are very old and the condominiums are not furnished well. I recommend the Business Park over IT Park.

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

Interesting points rfisher.

[@scottmoseley5122]

Not my experience at All. The IT park Vibe is much livelier and Upbeat. Its safer and much more walkable. than Business Park. There are Brand new Condo Projects Opening all the time ...Food , Bars, Restos, Malls, conventice stores , spas everywhere..the place is alive at 2 am and 3 am bustling.. unlike Business Park. But Business Park does have HSBC....but its scary to get your money there after hours.. quiet dark corner. anyway.. just my 2 cents YMMV>

Why would anyone move to the Philippines, whether Cebu City or Manila or Makati, just to rent a tight crackerbox? These areas don't have subways as Bangkok or Tokyo, Kyoto or Osaka. It's either a Grab Taxi, Jeepney or Tricycle. Plus parking is not always available either. Unless you build a house or rent a nice one in a Subdivision or Farmland, then it's a total waste. Yes we live in the Philippines.

As you probably know Gregory, there are many reasons we move to the Philippines. It seems we have more freedom here than in the states and a lot less stress.
