Day 2 of Apartment Hunting in Boracay For $500 Budget Per Month 🇵🇭

[@Msfili]

seeing all those metal sheets as fences and the atmosphere brings me back to my childhood the i used to live there

[@danielnetz7539]

I've long dreamed of an extended (long term) vacation in Boracay. This video, plus the previous one, has been very helpful letting me know what's actually available there. Thank you for your effort!!

[@christinafite1812]

Congratulations on the new house ..very sweet house and gardens can't wait to see you guys in it and it all decorate

[@larry1541]

The first one is decent with the rent, utilities, and internet it sounds like housing cost will be between $700 to 800 USD. You gonna have to fund income of $2,000 USD a month to live comfortable and travel unless you deep into your savings. For me personally Cebu City with infrastructure, housing, restaurants and internet and convenience of getting to other islands offers better value. Good luck!

[@bashersbeware]

I agree. I live in Metro Manila but when I went to Cebu a few years back, it was the first place I said to myself that I can see myself living in. I love Bacolod too.

[@dennisdesmarais3778]

I prefer housing compounds or condo high rises.. The roosters and dogs are way to loud for me. Been there done that.

[@lucindabecenti2782]

CONGRATULATIONS 🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝🏝ON YOUR NEW PLACE,IM HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS

[@eddieboeing777]

i knew you'd go for the first one. exterior may not be nice but as they say "don't judge a book by its cover." the garden is definitely a plus! the plant you called cactus by the way will soon bear a dragon fruit, yes, that weird-looking fruit.

[@hrock9134]

We had a wall unit A/C in our bedroom in our in-laws house on Luzon. It was extremely loud, dirty, and drew a lot of electricity. See if they will install a Split A/C unit in your bedroom (the compressor portion of the unit is located outside the house). We had one installed in our bedroom over there. It made a huge difference in the our quality of life. It cut our monthly electricity costs in half, ended the constant rooster noise, and filtered out dust in the air much better. We slept better at night. It was cool, dry, and without noise. It can get very hot and humid over there! Also make sure the electricity is wired for your place only. You could end up paying for someone else’s electricity. Have them show you the electric meter. One meter might be hooked up to several units…..something to think about. My mother in laws house had a cousin next door wired to her house. I’m not sure how you handle property leases over there, but I am sure that it is way different from Canada. Keep in mind that you may want to leave early on your 1 year lease idea. How do they handle deposits, lease breaking, etc? I personally would not expect to get any deposits back on your departure.

hi guys greetings from Vancouver,Canada, just subscribed ..love the vlogs. FYI ! when looking for a place think about some natural disasters. The typhoons there are worse than hurricanes be aware of flooding , leakage etccc.... wish you 2 the best.

[@helenoharawhite7704]

Love your new place! And that garden is an amazing bonus to have. I'm sure you will make it a happy home and be settled in no time ♡

[@amelitamagtibay8908]

Yes i see it even in translucent glass window. Mean tinted glass One sided window

[@rhinomonton]

I would have taken that one too, great price and is so quiet.

[@mallorymorrison842]

YAY! So glad you've found an apartment finally! It looks awesome! Much love! ❤️🇵🇭🇦🇱🇺🇸💕

[@deniahenderson7178]

Yippee!!! I was hoping you'd take it! So very excited for you two. The yard and garden is perfect. Have fun!!!❤

[@floren879]

The 20k with great garden space outside is the ideal 👍

[@loyalhubby]

Go for the first one in this video. Exteriors can be improved, but the garden and spacious rooms are good. :)

[@roneladaro529]

For me I'll also choose the first house and have deal with them that I will shoulder the ACs but they have to lower the rent down to 15k to 16k per month for the entire year, not bad ryt? Congrats on your new house🤗🤗🤗🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@garrymasir1127]

Good evening. Love watching your vlog. Keep it up. Stay safe & have fun in your journey both of u.. ❤❤❤

this apartment hunting got me hooked.

[@JoanCottom]

Congrats its a nice big space...yes, the yard is awesome...❤️

[@sosodave4192]

the first house, that needs air conditioning and is 20,000 pesos per month, complete with the garden and the roosters, seems to be very typical of where I live in Panama as well. the moment that the house is weathered in, they concentrate completely on making it as livable as possible on the inside. new tile, fixtures, lighting, all of the amenities of a completely finished house. while the outside still looks like it was built yesterday, with no fit or finish whatsoever. it may seem strange to westerners, but it is extremely practical. the important part of the dwelling is that the people on the inside enjoy the space, far more than what the outside happens to look like.

[@-Cece]

I noticed the Nike black hat right away and then the switch back to your "standard" one at the end. Did you buy a new hat Michael? Lovely hair braid B! You look so naturally beautiful and feminine in your skirts!

[@BiancaBeyond]

No I have too hats but it's whatever one is there I grab, it's all about the sun more than anything

[@ericbown1551]

20k and out of the rat race, congratulations 🎉

[@BiancaBeyond]

Thank you

[@Mayann_siapno]

It's a dragon fruit not a cactus heheh. You can cut and planting more. You're lucky to have a dragon fruit in your house now.

[@whitedog510]

Have to say I’m a little worried about you giving them that much up front. Hope it works out! Love the house!

[@bashersbeware]

I bet ya if you made a strong enough haggle, you'd get that at P15k/month. In Metro Manila, decent middle class gated subdivisions, a lot of much, much nicer houses can be had for P15K. You should've tried one month first just to be able to have that settled in feeling. When the pressure is gone, your minds are clear, you will really know by then what you really want. As for the airconditioning, try if you can get them to buy a reliable and known brand. Because if they buy a cheap one and it conks out, you'll be trying to cool down using electric fans.

[@pauline_tan]

Finally!! You can travel a lot easier now with a house to leave some of your stuff 🤗 I just don’t get why the internet is soooo expensive!! Really overpriced though 🥲🥲 But so happy for you both!! 🤗 And B great job with your hair! 😘 Looking forward to your upcoming travel plans and videos! ❤️ Keep safe! 🤗

[@BiancaBeyond]

Yes the internet is more expensive (twice) and slower (at least half) than in Canada one of the most expensive places for internet in the world I thought

[@pauline_tan]

@@BiancaBeyond Haha very expensive! Triple the price of our monthly internet here in the city 😅

[@roneladaro529]

It is really expensive to have fiber internet in the island unlike in the cities coz I am paying 1699 for 300 mbps already. Your rates there are sky rocketing 😱😱😱😱😱

[@diabloprimordial5735]

If you can't find there, try Siargao and other island provinces with lots of tourist spots beaches like Negros, Cebu, Bohol, etc. There are still so many beautiful Islands that you need to know and explore (with great potential for doing resorts business). Local Filipinos called Boracay as "One of the most Expensive Island" in Philippines along with the Pamalican Island (Amanpulo). And Boracay nowadays is already packed with small and big Businesses that's why the land and hotel rentals there is more than 2x higher to other Islands and it is also because that area is world known for tourists. Expensive prices is just normal there especially if you'll love to stay in Class A areas... Sure you can find one there---lesser than 20k a month (good, clean,safe but not in hotspot areas like you need to walk or ride for couple of mins to main beaches), be safe with your travels...

[@diabloprimordial5735]

My cousin has food Businesses there (food stalls), but her main home is still in Ilo-ilo... She's just doing business there or visit Boracay for just a number of days in 2 weeks gap...

[@dawn9204]

Congratulations... 🎉🙂

I haven't found anywhere to rent for self ride, I think they banned that when they went electric only ;/

Are you gonna use that as your home base then travel around the Philippines?

[@BiancaBeyond]

Yes exactly right :)

Cool

[@davidsean290]

I’m actually jealous $400 a month are you kidding? We pay about half that for a parking spot in Chicago in the N 3000 block of LakeShore Dr

[@Collusion10]

My electric on El Nido is three times that a month lol

[@eprohoda]

how’s everytthing going?-enjoyed~you did splendid , catch you later-

[@incognitoone]

A bit of unsolicited advice. Talk to the owners as much as possible. You usually talk to caretakers. Normally, they won't be able to explain the merits of the place well. And you can make arrangements faster with the owners themselves if its at all possible.

[@ShawnsLifeInThePhilippines]

Awesome beach, I sent you a message on FB.

Moving to there no scooters lot of people from China own stuff a casino no thanks to many Islands that let you live a normal life it's to restrictive for me.

[@HisLife1994]

You can get $100 per month

[@damonottaway3648]

I’ve never been to Boracay, but that place seems overly expensive and those places don’t look that great. For comparison, I live in MAA, Davao City and my rent, in a nice quiet neighborhood, 2 big beds, 1 bath, huge separate kitchen, large living room, laundry room and a giant front lanai is only $257. Plus, it’s totally furnished and the owner pays the WIFI. Honestly, I think you could find much nicer areas to settle for a year. I hope you don’t get to bored there. Also, Boracay, as you probably already know, is one of the most popular tourist destinations. It could get really hectic there. And the amenities situation is very limited. I hope it all works out though for you guys. Safe travels🤙 Haha! So I watched till the end and see you are taking the first place. Nice! I tell ya, Negotiate a fridge and hot plate. That way your not stuck leaving it all there after a year. I can guarantee that they want your money and they won’t say NO!

[@bashersbeware]

Yup, it's overpriced. Your right about the appliances too.

[@damonottaway3648]

@M J I’ve lived in Davao for 4 years and there’s lots of expats that live here. Not once in my time have I heard one person mentioned that. Also, Davao City for tourists isn’t the greatest place. It’s not a city with lots of nice beaches close by. The biggest attraction is Samal Island.

[@davidkaiser810]

Knowing that China has a big presents there would be enough to dieter me from living there

[@rossthayne5446]

They have no idea what a patio is .. you need to say Balcony

Boracay is not the only beautiful Island to live in the PI. The Philippines consists of over 7000 island in the archepelago. Over 2600 are inhabited. Anywhere you live, from Luzon, to Visayas and Mindanao are beautiful beaches. I live in Lipa City Batangas where just a short drive are some of the most beautiful beaches in rhe PI at a fraction of the cost of Boracay. Very few brownouts, cheap food, rent, utilities and typhoons and all the malls and shopping centers without the congestion of Manila. Remember this, you can get to ANY beach or island by bus ferry or plane without having to get stuck rationing water and paying the higher cost of food, electricity and rent. Living on Boracay, or Puerta Galera or any of the tourist spots have their own challenges. Much more than living in Luzon or Cebu.
