HOUSE HUNTING IN KINGSTON JAMAICA- Ep 4

[@Rochielin]

Guys remember you have to watch and email me the same day the video is posted and up to a maximum of 2 days later. After that the house is inevitably gone . So be quick on the draw if you want to get one of the properties shown in the video!

[@vincentgregory5539]

Have you found an apartment you like ?

[@kevinthompson6178]

ok sounds great

[@mytime9627]

I watched your videos because of your beauty and personality Hope I can find a girl like you one day or you Sml

[@rolstonamos682]

This reminds me of house hunting in Atlanta, Georgia. Just keep an open mind. Only looking for one house but look at a thousand homes and compare before deciding on a house. Fun fun fun !!!

[@brendamarie558]

This is nice. Can we put in our own furniture?

[@rushaned.2867]

To the people saying if you have ability to pay 70k you should consider buying a house. While I agree for the most part, remember most people who are searching for rental spots are young and just getting started with their own lives. They are not ready to have a permanent home. But nah tell no lie, before I pay 70k to live in somebody house I go back to country go live with mi granny

[@mariohall2631]

I agree but the idea is to start the savings from you young, so when you get older you can afford your own.

[@bitmogul5586]

dwl I agree 100% if you're young and not ready to own a place you will be paying that amount for a few years... best to just do it from early

[@aniquemckie3252]

Mi nah look pon ntn above 45k inna my young age 😣😣😳😳😳

[@jhanabarnes2270]

The places she looked at were two bedrooms, so the cost would typically be split between two persons (possibly a couple). Just because your combined income can afford to rent one of these places, doesn't mean you're ready to or want to purchase a home together. Additionally, what price home can you access with a 70K Budget and I what location for a mortgage? For persons looking to live in Kingston, this isn't always realistic. The housing prices are crazy to live anywhere even semi-convenient. This isn't even taking into consideration the upfront cash needed for the deposit and closing costs.

[@gabbilicious20]

Facts 😂😂

[@edithmartin8233]

Why the people don’t clean the house/apartment. They want so much money and don’t keep the place clean.

[@myeshapayne6295]

Would you consider doing house hunting in Portmore? (idk, maybe this could turn into a whole series lol House Hunting with Rochie) you could check out other parishes too, just for your viewers to get a feel of what to expect when looking around (just a crazy idea)...Loved the video btw!!!

[@Rochielin]

Don’t spill the beans 🤐 lol thanks hun thanks for watching! 😬

[@kwabenankrumah3514]

Nice nice nice.

[@badgyalfireal]

Yes it would be great if she did st ann

[@RichelleTHenry]

Even though Im not loking for a house, I find these good...... Gives me an idea of what house hunting is like!

[@JuniorLexus6692]

I always enjoy watching your vlogs you have such a nice and warm energy about you. Your mother raised you very well nuff respect to her as well, I also love the healthy mother & daughter relationship that you both have with each other.🏡🏠😊👊🏽🇯🇲🌴☀️🌴

[@Rochielin]

Thank youuu! Thanks for watching 😁

[@AlandreaAllyson]

Lady listen, dem video yah mek mi head hurt mi. Imagine paying close to 100k every month (MORTGAGE MONEY!!) for somewhere you dont OWN? I cry.

[@jenniferbeathea7906]

😣😭

[@teejlawson5837]

Saying the same thing!

[@rolstonamos682]

Those prices were for monthly rent? Kockafoot. I said to myself, those prices are good. I wouldn't pay those prices even if the whole building is made of gold .

[@jackierobinson1432]

Are the prices in Jamaican dollars?

[@briannasolman3839]

@@jackierobinson1432 yes

[@JuniorLexus6692]

The first couple rental properties that was displayed are definitely a step up from the ones in the last couple videos..meaning you get your money's worth even though they are expensive.🏡🏠 The one that you said was worth the 50k wasn't bad as well. Hopefully you can find something perfect for you as far as location and convenience. Well one thing I learned from your vlogs is how expensive it is for the average hard working productive Jamaican to live...especally when you want to emancipate yourself from certain criminal elements that lurks freely commiting self genocide. Ps: many blessings to you.✍🏽🇯🇲🌴☀️🌴

[@ricardodavis4863]

85k and above If you're able to pay You should consider purchasing and seeking to qualify for a mortgage.

[@lucozadeja.3331]

Yes indeed!

[@gillianthompson6867]

It mi seh to matter of fact from 60 and above

[@bitmogul5586]

true

[@aniquemckie3252]

Totally agree

[@Izlandprincess1]

This is true. I think some persons need a place right away and dont have the money upfront to process buying a house in terms of downpayment and processing fees etc. But if you can get cheaper and work towards saving then it's better.

[@ronaldotblake6816]

I discovered you today. I'm not looking for apartments but you have a nice energy. I'm subscribed now 😁

I love house #5, and I am so happy that these landlords take time out to show the places and also Mummy is right there at your side good job.

[@PaynefullyJordan]

These house hunting videos are always so helpful. Top Tier content

[@rushaned.2867]

I would love if you continue this series and go all over Jamaica! Like in Trelawny(my parish).

Mommy's rendition of your lets go! lets go! lets go! Nuh sound too bad. 😂🎶😂🎵😂

[@jodi-annjames3520]

Gwerl I love these videos! My kinda thing! Jamaica version of HGTV's House Hunting 😀 keep it up!

[@joannmcfarlane9788]

Make sure to ask about water tanks when you go apartment shopping. The water situation is serious!

[@rolstonamos682]

That is one thing I would check out. I know people in Ewarton and Rosehall and water gone weekly. I cannot deal with that rubbish. I must have water in the pipe everytime i turn on the tap .

[@shenz4]

Loving these videos because I have to move to Kingston next year. 🙏🏽

[@tifft876]

The cost to live in Kingston is hefty. Damn. 85k for rent? 😣 my goodness man. Thanks for the tour tho girl. Nah look noweh but I’m here for it. Didn’t see any ads on this one tho. I might be here too early

[@alanastv1204]

What a way mommy love the "let's go" song lol

[@Rochielin]

Lol I know right

[@QueenKhanz]

"Mommy weh u think?" Let's Go Let's Go 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

[@rolstonamos682]

Very informative. You and the lady in the orange shirt are totally cool. I love how she join you in saying " let's go, let's go, let's go". I love the showing of the properties. I grew up in Spanish Town and never thought about living in or around Kingston . I have heard of crime in Kingston but my eyes have been opened. There's good and bad everywhere. Thanks again. Cheers

[@sutandy]

Watching these videos, as well as seeing a few rental properties myself, I've realised how most of these places don't adhere to certain rules, like bedroom sizes, and arrangement of spaces/entry. For example, did yall know bedrooms should be a minimum of 12 x 12 feet (not including the closet space)? Yet, we are forced to pay so much money for substandard housing at times out of desperation. Its ridiculous.. I must add, I love these videos, and just the overall Jamaican-related content. It's so refreshing to see- I was getting tired of the foreign content because alot of it, I just couldn't really relate to. Great channel!!

[@anthonycoote9546]

Rent really expensive. $1 million a year for rent? That's crazy! The salaries there for the average person, or above average, to pay so much, it's better to build a 3 bdrm, rather than pay $1 million a year for rent. Crazy and horrible investment!

[@mariohall2631]

Great video. The apartments are ok for the most part. I would suggest that you rent somewhere reasonable and save, save, save the rest of the money and get somewhere for yourself. I don't have the most updated house in the best neighborhood, but it's mine.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Cinde74]

You're an absolutely beautiful young lady and God bless you. I see where you get your energy from!

[@whatscbg4875]

LOVE THIS SERIES! However, these homeowners need to take more pride in their properties. Clean up the place man, before you ask ppl fi spend dem money! Come on guys. Look up staged property ideas. Those sell faster!

[@lucozadeja.3331]

PortView Manor is right beside Brook Valley. The road to the port view is kinda bumpy. You mentioned the location of the apt on Surbitton influences the price, quite so. The commute from portview would be longer than Surbitton (assuming you work in New kgn, hwt cross roads liguanea downtown etc). surbitton. My gf lives in portview but I can't remember how much she pays for rent, I do know she is looking to move because of some new neighbours. She's never mentioned any crime though. So budget wise that's your best bet. Keep doing these videos, I love them!

Why these people suh nasty? Why can’t they clean up these places? How do you show people around these places in this condition. This is very sad to me. But overall I must say these properties are much better than the previous ones.

Do you mind telling the general areas? The prices seem very high almost the same as New York. So, I am very curious to have an idea of area . Th prices this video are much better .Thanks as always for taking us on the journey!

[@mariohall2631]

@Larose Murphy Yes, that's NY and their crazy prices. Even worse in Brooklyn now, a 1 bedroom is on average $1300 and that's the lower end of the spectrum.

[@toniannburrell6556]

Larose Murphy , I live in the Bronx where a 1 bedroom is now $1500. My mortgage is abt $3000 buy I bought it 25 year’s ago! Plus it a3 family in the Pelham garden area! I actually commented before watching, her previous video the prices were much high.
