HOUSES FOREIGNERS CAN OWN IN THE PHILIPPINES. Not in Business anymore?

IT APPEARS THEY ARE NO LONGER IN BUSINESS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Here is a link about leasing and owning provided by Katabatic:
The houses built by KYOOB are modular and mobile and can be legally owned by foreigners according to the literature. Strong containers are used in the manufacturing process.

Just rent an affordable place (apartment) for you to stay. The good thing about this, you can shift in any various province/city where you wish to stay.

Renting is the easiest for me so I can move easily. It might be an option for some. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Rod, I lived in one of these in the Former Yugoslavia on a deployment while I was on active duty. Even in the harsh European-Balkan winters ( down to -15 at times) a small space heater would keep the place cozy.

This is not true, you should speak to some property companies, you cannot buy most types of houses, only condos

[@oef3years425]

I agree with other posters here, it sounds like a good deal to westerners but it's in reality way overpriced for the Philippines, if you search for expandable container homes Philippines on youtube, there is a guy who has a very nice one he paid 9000 for from china, and had it delivered, total cost including delivery with broker fees etc. was 14500 dollars, thats a hell of a lot less than 1000000 peso's. Also my sister in law who is a Pinay built a beautiful 2 bedroom home that's twice the size as that with a single car garage and a metal roof, for under 1 mil. peso's and that was only 4 years ago. My point is with those being built in the philippines and avoiding the broker fees, shipping charges, and any import fees, he's really really over charging based on the 14500 dollar one delivered from china ! I believe the name of the company he purchased it from was alibaba . Should be easy to google and verify what I've said.

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

Alibaba is owned by Jack Ma I believe and they recently bought Lazada, an online marketing company similar to Amazon but much smaller. I am familiar with problems with building products coming from China over the past years. Huge amounts of drywall were shipped to the USA and later found to be inferior and have toxic substances in it I believe. They were caught putting melamine into dog/cat food and baby formula killing some animals in the USA. Melamine tricked the test equipment into measuring higher levels of protein. We used melamine foams as fire resistant sound absorbing panels as well. There is another company or more who make less expensive units in the Philippines and they target the lower income people. Thanks for sharing this info. You can build a nice house for that money as well.

[@oef3years425]

Thanks for the reply, I don't disagree that you have to be very careful and do research on anything out of china, everything from led in paint to dangerous chemicals, look what they did in the honey industry, mixing syrup with it and trying to fool the inspectors . I enjoy your vlog, keep up the good work. You could be right about inferior materials for sure.

[@victorharper4314]

Great video!!! Thank you for sharing! My first time seeing your channel.

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

Thanks for watching Victor. This company is no longer in business here as far as I can find out. Welcome!

[@fralinsandfriends]

I got a little confused by the comments thinking this is a new video because it came up in my list. That's okay because it's very informative. I think condo living is the same here in the US. They're starting to build Tiny or Small houses here that people can move easily if they want to travel with it (tiny houses) or need something more affordable as in small houses. The small houses look a lot smaller than what I call a small house though. We've usually bought big older homes we could fix up and now we're in a one story older home so it feels smaller to me but fits us better. Yup, I'm spoiled by comparison. I don't think I could live long term in a tiny house.

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. A medium to small size fits me ok but many westerners prefer larger houses. I will accumulate too much stuff. I do like a nice office in my home and a garage/workshop and that is rarer here.

[@squareX99]

The insulation used on these container houses is similar to the ones sold here in the US. They make the interior temperature 20-25deg F cooler. It is made of bubble wrap with one side aluminized plastic of sort. And if add a regular roof on top of the container original roof that would be even cooler.

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

That is what I thought. I have used some on a wall that was getting direct sunlight and it prevented the wall from getting hot and lowered my electric bill. I also bought some for a friend who lived in a boarding house and they were surprised how much difference it made in temperature. Thanks for watching.

[@ChrisPPata-kc4td]

There is a nice beachfront resort in northern Cebu that's entirely constructed from these container vans. The place is called Anika Island Resort in Bantayan Island. While there was total devastation all around, the converted bungalows withstood the onslaught of typhoon Yolanda with little to no damage inflicted . Resort was up and running within weeks. I am totally sold on these. Thanks Rod..

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

Thanks for this information. I would expect they would be as sturdy as anything in storms and earthquakes. Good to hear this situation. Thanks for watching and commenting Chris.

[@JamesHannagan]

I stayed there on my first visit. Really nice resort. I didn't even realise the cabins were made out of shipping containers until somebody pointed that out to me.

[@catherinelaurente3804]

Thank you so much for such valuable information Sir I have been searching everywhere in the internet for proper review for this type of material for home use. Next I will find out who is the contractor for the resort. Thank you so much:-D

[@trevorsabatine17]

Was directed here just for this video, these are simple cheap and easy to build if you don't need insulation. Very earthquake and hurricane proof if your foundation is built right. You can buy these containers at most ports for under 1000usd.

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

The literature states these are insulated but I would want to know the R factor. It would make a big difference in comfort and AC costs. Thanks for watching and commenting Trevor.

[@Jham12345]

Wow. I have shared the video with my friend and partners and we will pay the company a visit sometime September next month once I arrive Cebu :-). Thanks once again Rod for the info.

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

Thanks for watching and the kind words Jakob. There are a couple of companies that do this sort of building.

[@property007]

Any website link to these companies?

[@joem1070]

Looks great, thanks. And would maybe add more overhang to protect any direct sun from hitting the easy bake oven sides. Maybe eliminating the gable ends for a hip roof. And yes, from an engineering prospective, the mobility would allow the unit to displace the energy from an earthquake, potential, depending on the tie downs. I use to build with prefab concrete panels (Superior Walls) for foundations both above grade and below, even in areas with deep frost. The foundations were/are craned into place and bolted together, sat on 1/2" gravel, that is vibrated with a plate tamper. Gravel footers are approx.4 to 8" in depth and about 16 to 24" wide. The system fairs better than a traditional concrete foundation and is accepted by US International Code book. And of course, tie down straps to weighted concrete footers would be essential for high wind locations with a few bolts rated to break away in case of lets say, a 5.0 earthquake. That would then allow the unit to dissipate the energy. Or the tie downs could be the type to allow the unit to shift in a movable stirrup . . . All of that would need to be designed by a P.E.

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

Thanks for sharing that information Joe. I think this company is out of the PH at this time but there are other companies doing similar things with containers. A tie-down and good base would be important.

It is an option for some. Thanks for watching and commenting Gio. I would want to learn more about the insulation. That can make a big difference in comfort and air conditioning costs.

[@leofreihofer]

Nice video. That shower was at my county fair and was about to buy it but it was way over priced.

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

Looked like a decent shower if one wants constant music or radio. You have to pay extra for the fancy items. LOL. Thanks for watching and commenting Leo.

[@maxmiser286]

Sounds good in theory but if a land owner doesn't want you on their land or there's some dispute you'll be stuffed if you can't find another place. They should be allocating land that foreigners can own.

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

One definitely should use a good lawyer to draw up the lease for land. There is other information about leasing land online with some dos and don'ts. Thanks for watching and commenting Max.

[@aglayamajorem9546]

max miser There's a reason why foreigners can't own land. It's same in Thailand. There's always possibility of foreigner raising prices of property if they own land and that won't be good for average low middle income natives to buy and also own land. Also, look at Vancouver and how the Chinese greedily spend on many properties there. We don't want that situation in the Philippines.

[@maxmiser286]

+Philemona Myshkin If specific areas are designated for foreigners to legally own land it should not affect the average joe at all. Yes I've seen the documentary on the Chinese in Canada. It's crazy that they have allowed that when you cannot do the same in China. Do you not think Filipinos and other migrants push up prices when they go overseas as they are allowed to buy land and property pushing it out of reach to the locals. What about those folk? If they can do it in America or the UK I see no reason why foreigners aren't allowed to do so in the Philippines.

[@laynefischer2021]

Hey rod are they still in business, building the house 🏡 use shipping containers. ?

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

I do not think they are located in the PH any longer Layne. Checkout Greenhome, similar plans.

Hello idol new friend from Iligan City

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

Thanks for coming Daniel.

[@ogremgtow990]

Can you make an updated video of this topic including if there is a place to park one of those things and where ?

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

I have not found any "parks" or subdivisions that cater to this type of housing. One would need to lease land usually for 25 or 50 years.

[@seanmurphy9247]

@@AmazingPhilippines1 hi mate could you inbox me If possible

nice! i dig the container thing

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

They have been around a long time and other types of small mobile houses are also catching on with some. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@TC-yx1qt]

You can own a 20 bedroom mansion if you want.. you just can't own the land. This is no different..

Good concept.. nice stuff to consider

It is another option I just happened to come across while walking. Thanks for watching and commenting Lito.

[@TimmyTheTurtleTVOKids]

They're all about $19,000 USD.

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

There are a couple of companies that offer this type of construction also.

[@donaldhawkins8439]

Great video, Thank You for doing it. I have been very interested in the shipping container homes. My wife and I will be to coming Cebu in July and I will be staying for at least a year to see if I can adjust to living in the Philippines. I have spent time there but living permanently there I am sure will take adjustments. If you have time can you send me more information on how to contact the builders of these units. Thank You Don and Pilar

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

www.kyoob-asia.com/ I would be quite interested in the insulation R factor they put in these. It makes a big difference in comfort and cost of electric for AC. Adjusting to a new culture is easier some days than others. I adapt well but there are days when all of us have "bad" days. Just don't let them get you down. Thanks for watching and commenting Donald

[@donaldhawkins8439]

The insulation R value is as important when cooling a building as in heating it. I am somewhat surprised that insulation does not seem to be used that often in homes there, with the electric rates as high as they are there I would think it would be used much more, to conserve energy.

[@TC-yx1qt]

1M pesos / $20,000!!!?? It's not even worth 1/4 that price..

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

I don't think they are still operating here T C. There are a couple of other companies doing similar work though.

[@TomandAmyinthePI]

Not bad idea for PI Do You have to pay lot rent where this home sits?

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

I am sure you would have to pay to lease land to put it on unless your wife or friend will let you stay for free. Thanks for watching Tom. It is always best to use a lawyer to set up a lease.

[@re6153]

Why is it that every house and apartment in the philippines dont have screens to keep the critters out? Can somebody tell me why???

[@karlethridge5252]

I would be happy in that house

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

They have several models Karl so one can have more space if needed.

[@ISPRI2011]

Those houses are made from plastic...the walls are not bereaving, you will suffocate. Better buy or build an "good old fashion" well insulated with natural materials bamboo house (same size...same features).

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

Thanks for watching and commenting Lucian. These particular units are made from steel shipping containers. The USA had an "energy crisis" back in the 70's and started insulating building very tightly. The problem that it created was the lack of proper air change and many of the building materials, carpet, and furniture giving off fumes that were then breathed.

[@ISPRI2011]

More or less same materials are used also today in the "Anglosfere". In New Zealand even the most luxurious homes are build with prefab materials and a lot of plastic. All of them are "liking" and at night you have the sensation that you are sleeping with a plastic bag over your face. At least this is how we fell..."we" the Europeans used to sleep in "good old fashion" homes made with red bricks, double windows and mortar.

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

I understand your point. Thanks for your comments Lucian.

[@ducatidarmah122]

I dont know where in NZ you lived. But Nobody I know lives in a plastic house. Brick and mortar houses didnt stand up too well to the earthquakes here in Christchurch. The ones that did were the good old style wooden houses.

[@scottpool4777]

Yes I am interested me and my wife they are good homes can you show me what they cost thank you very much Oo🇵🇭

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

This company is apparently out of business Scott, but the started close to 1 million pesos.

[@virendrapatel7277]

For this movable home need to rent ? So renting land in Philippines is allowed too ?

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

foreigners can lease land here.

thanks for this video we own beach land in leyte and this might just be an option.

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

These look like a good option for several type locations. One can use 1 or several matched together for more space.

[@janedudynsky5067]

Hi rod. Does the company transfer these container houses anywhere in the Philippines?

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

I believe they will ship them anywhere feasible and legal. Thanks for watching and commenting Jane.

[@akllera]

I would think it would be much safer than regular homes. They are made of steel. Just make sure they are anchored well.

[@andregill2732]

Thx that's very affordable I can handle that n what's there biggest size I'm looking for 3/2 home in that..thx u advance

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

I think you can ask them to combine many in any configuration you like that is workable Andre. Good luck with your plans.

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

Thanks Nica. I don't think they are in the Philippines any longer but there are other companies that do similar things.

[@tyronbell8820]

U should see how the containers were used in China after early 2000 earthquake....

I am sure they saved a lot of people by giving them shelter. Thanks for watching and commenting Tyron.

I have a vacant Lot in Palawan can it be shipped in Puerto Princesa? Ive bern trying to sell my property in Palawan its very cheap only 450k and that container van house will fit in my Lot of 200 sqm.

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

There are several companies making this type of housing in the Philippines and I think most will ship anywhere reasonable. Contact the companies directly for details Myrian.

[@nenettewalsh9816]

Why would I buy house no land that’s stupid rip off only fools do that hello. Rent then better not to get rip off . I do want to buy house to rent if I’m not there that I do like.

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

Thanks Nenette. Renting is the choice for many but there are also many who prefer to buy or build a house also and lease the land. Take care.

[@re6153]

The spiders here in the Philippines are very large and i have had a few run ins with them. Because the house we are renting has no screens!!!!!!!

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

No screens also puzzle me, even on all the new condos I look at, no screens. No insulation on walls and ceilings is another mystery I haven't got any good answers for. Thanks for watching and commenting Richard.

[@mikenichols1045]

lol.... Again check out alibaba.com for container Homes, prefabricated home, kit homes or manufactured homes. they have an awesome selection and very affordable. im sure when alls said and done with the house shipping and construction on site with utilities prepared connected it will probably cost the same but a fun selection to look through and custom builds as well.

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

Alibaba is huge and now owns Lazada. I am cautious of certain types of product if they are manufactured in China. They were caught several years ago shipping huge amounts inferior drywall into the USA. Much of it had to be ripped out of walls and replaced. Some toxic substance I think. A number of other cased I am familiar with also. It is a good place to shop and see what is available and pricing. Thanks for watching and commenting Mike.

[@amvet5387]

Pretty cool units. You can lease a lot somewhere. I would like to see RVs here and RV parks.

[@ralphsantaana7303]

Philippine expat , I would love to see RVs /parks too, just that roads are way too narrow. Wouldn't mind living in a big RV😊

[@amvet5387]

Ya I know, I have a 5th wheel in the states that I live in, but when I go back in a couple of months I am going to buy a house in Pinetop, AZ up in the mtns. I lived in it for 5 yrs, kind of burned out.

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

I think the narrow roads would be a big issue with moving an rv around although the big buses and trucks use many of the same roads. That would make it easier to travel and see the sites but the infrastructure for them is not here. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@chitoreyquinto]

there is RV available now in our country made by carryboy using ford ranger or toyota hilux chassis and engine. Last time I check its 2.5M to 3M pesos range. Im also fun with RV life and looking forward to get one and roam around our country. The only problem that is we don't have RV National Parks. We do have plenty of Parks but I guess if I have little motorhome to start with like 4 berth one I can document it out when I go home for good.

[@chitoreyquinto]

by the way thanks for posting this video. I actually looking for cheaper and faster way to have house in one of my property in panglao bohol. I have 10 000sqm there that i can lease out or anything its sitting out there anyway.

I tried to set up an interview with them several years ago and was told they all had a meeting in the USA to go to. Never heard from them since Patrick. There are a couple of other companies doing similar work. This is one video about prefab homes here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6mqi2p3aJqejNE

[@lippyfam538]

yuo can own or build any house you just cant own the land you put it on

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

That is correct Ed. You want to get a good lease agreement on the land but that can end up difficult if you have a bad relationship.
