​@@GiointhePhilippines how can we be sure its a legit website, lots of foreigners are scammed by lovescam run by CHINESE POGO in the Philippines thought they talking to a Filipina but just using an AI collecting money to the victim

[@matrices3987]

33sq meter studio for $786+ condo dues + 2 months deposit that won't be returned + repairs that the tenant will be forced to pay for = $1025 per month. Or $2.71 per square foot per month. This is actually 20% more per square foot then a luxury high-rise condo in Downton Austin Texas. Everyone complains about USA cost of living. Guess what Philippines is actually more expensive!! And is anyone impressed by the quality they see here?

[@Gregory-Masovutch]

Not me. That's why we bought land cheap and built our own home. The whole country especially Ayala Land is in a super bubble.

[@shawn2380]

My studio condo in South Austin rents out for 800 plus utilities. I am in one of the most desirable areas in one of the most desirable cities in the USA, These condos prices are inane.

[@richardhowe5583]

These real estate people especially condo people have lost their minds.. not worth more than 20K pesos.. everybody out there please shop around because you can find a real nice furnished place for 20K pesos with two or three bedrooms and a couple of bathrooms.. don't let these condo people stick it to you because they are way overpriced.. "seek and ye shall find" anything can be accomplished with patience and persistence😊.. no offense to you gio because I always liked your videos..

[@tilapiadave3234]

Those gold lights are SOLID 24 carat ,,,,,

[@Amandalaz0]

Those were the cons or maybe more. But the pros are, you’ll have access to gyms, swimming pools, security 24/7 walking distance to the mall.

[@fashionfgurl18]

and for a place like Iloilo thats some delusional price. lmao

[@nyknicksable]

@@Amandalaz0and don’t forget having to ride in boiling hot elevators.

[@Agent_Bobcatx]

Think the replies on here are pretty conclusive of the opinion of these apartments. Crazy prices.

[@ericsmith-VN]

Overpriced and most importantly way too small noway can an adult man live in 33sqm regardless of the silly amenities

[@craiggilleland]

$800 monthly to live in a shoebox, I would hardly call that perfect.

[@GlowmaticBikes]

Considering I pay $2,000 to live in a MUCH smaller shoebox, with no gym, no A/C and no pool...well, I guess it depends on your perspective. :)

[@ericsmith-VN]

​@@GlowmaticBikeswhy don't you change your situation

[@markhindmarsh9360]

I will stick to my new 6k appartment with covered secure lockable front yard,for motorcycle. I renting the one next door for friends to stay to live the province life

[@LegalAutomation]

45k in Iloilo!?!? My 30k condo in makati is nicer... Lol.

[@michaelorfanos7416]

Wow, so small. I'm not trying to be negative and I see this is reality and thank you. I will not be looking at renting these types of places. The developer must be doing these units to maximize room count in a small SQF space and it looks like hell. Is there any place that is more spacious with an open floor plan without the kitchen in a closet?

[@ericroca8879]

There are far better condos with cheaper prices and better quality around the city but they are not in the Mandurriao district, hidden from plain sight and not always advertised. Most of them were developed by people who worked and lived abroad and you really need to know some people personally to get to them. Areas to watch out for would be around Jaro, Molo, Oton and Pavia. I think choices would be better in 5 years time. Also Guimaras Island is something to watch out once the Panay-Guimaras bridge is done.

[@rosemendez931]

As an ilonggo my advice stay away from Mandurriao Megaworld coz they’re very expensive if your planning to stay for long period of time. Stay in places like Oton,Pavia,Jaro coz they have the amenities like malls and is near the airport,schools and restaurant. There are many houses for rent in a cheaper price which you can found in FB. Hotels are offering Promos in Iloilo too if you want to stay for long period of time. Megaworld district is very in demand because of call center offices , ktown and the convention center is one of the most in demand venue for gathering so its not just about the mall itself that jack up the prices of the condo there. Grab taxi is also available in metro Iloilo so you can move around easily from different areas going in and out of the city. You can find buses and modern jeepneys in the terminal. So if your after the education of your kids take note that you can find many universities around Molo,downtown,Jaro and University of La Salle is going to open in Pavia,Iloilo soon.

[@Aidenstravels]

45k is a bit expensive. And those AC units pointing directly at the bed ...

[@michaelorfanos7416]

Gio, #2 condo looks much better. I'm sorry and should have waited to see the rest of the video. Yea, better place for sure!

[@MrSoccerpues]

Nice video Gio, You should do a video of your apartment

[@loumason6120]

Daylight when it's not raining lol.. Please don't eat lambs either

[@christhorpetexas]

Love the weather 🙂

[@philippinecowboy]

$786 is the overinflated price, of course they'll negotiate the price.........they'll bring it down to $700 or to $675 if you're lucky. The realistic price for that kind of space should be around $425 to $525 at the most. They're not fooling me! What I would do is stick with an Airbnb, there's no deposits to hassle with because most of the time you won't ever get those deposits back because they will already be spent........their excuse will be you broke/messed up something in the condo.

[@MarkBulgrin]

If everyone is complaining about these prices, then they are going to be shocked at the rates Rockwell is charging in Bacolod and Cebu. Two bedrooms started at 24 million prebuy in Bacolod and 28 million in Lahug, Cebu.

[@nairb9321]

This is my 2nd time watching this video. 1st time I wanted to put my foot through the TV. I truly have nothing nice or mildly polite to say about the prices these people are charging for rentals in the Philippines. You know the old saying, A FOOL AND HIS MONEY. I have been coming here and living off and on since 1978. I live in Angeles.2 BR, Total 5 rooms, Furnished, 15k incl- rent, electric, water, wifi and cable...These condo prices are insane.

[@Gregory-Masovutch]

We just came back from Iloilo. Had more fun touring the historical mansons in the old town. Festival walk is a joke. The condos are not worth 12 million pesos to be looking down on shack slum house's & roosters & Tricycles. The Megaworld Mall has no decent retail stores and lacks any enthic eateries compared to SM Auora or Ayala Manila Bay. A Brandy museum and 87 peso grab rides just doesn't cut it.

[@nyknicksable]

Crazy prices is an understatement. These shoe box size condos are cheaply made.

[@dresdyn100]

We're looking to relocate from "The Province" in Negros Oriental in the near future, Iloilo is high on the list. Thanks for the insight on the upper scale accomodation. Even with the facilities of these and the apartments in the last video they seem way overpriced especially considering their size and electric isn't included (internet?). I get the location is great, but still. Corporate clients may be the target though given the amount of call centres etc being set up around Megaworld and the Expats in the city managing them at least in their startup phase.

[@marvinphillips1326]

Filipinos have watched too many reruns of Life Styles of the Rich and Famous. They think every foreigner they meet has a bank account equivalent to Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos? Come on, only a fool would rent one of those balikbayan boxes at those prices.

[@arvin3543]

25k maximum for this condo dont be scam…they take fully advantage of you cause your a foreigner

[@nevysadventuresllc9074]

Gio what was wrong with your camera it seems like it wasn’t or doesn’t have wide angle?

[@cryptomando]

Lol they couldn't afford to repair the split AC 😂

[@stevekendzior7430]

Condos are nice.A little high priced thou.

[@BC19572]

Ridiculous price. No wonder why so many expats have left the Philippines for other countries, especially for Thailand. Filipinos are greedy when it comes to condo pricing.

[@cryptomando]

These are basically hotels (Airbnb)

[@jamesnichols2511]

I agree with richard, these condos are way overpriced. if you have money you want to just throw away, then go rent these condos. Gio, can you show us some condos in the 20*25k range. not just studios, but 1 bdrm and 2 bdrm.

[@1307scooter]

45k? I would get claustrophobia staying there more than a couple of hours. My 22k bungalow in Bacong is 3 times the size and within walking distance of the beach.

[@eodrex]

Why do these new condos have old style air cons? No split level air cons would have me questioning what other items have they went low quality on.

[@mikejoryharris]

is there a good waterfront or clean beaches downtown iloilo? outdoor parks/green spaces? thanks. enjoy your videos

[@raycatlin3554]

* 👍ASK IF there is a DRY 0r Steam ♨sauna in ANY of these locations with Fitness center - GYMs featured.👋. .

[@jdtravels5140]

I pay $3,300 for a luxury 3br/2ba apartment with a two car garage outside LA. I’m looking for a one br condo in the Philippines as a starter. My max is $625/35,000. There is no way I’m paying two months deposit. I’m willing to pay first/last/one month deposit. The average Filipino cannot afford two months deposit. Why do they expect foreigners to pay it? I’ve lived in Frankfurt, Rome, London, Munich, Paris, Berlin, Seoul, Riyadh, etc and never paid two months deposit.

[@Re3iRtH]

Same. You will learn that they will do things in the Philippines without thought or reason. And those things you will only find in PH. You will never explain it.

[@BELAIR2000]

Is this monthly rate if you sign a one year lease or is that month to month? Plus your utilities? Thank you.

[@bmactattoo1219]

It would be plus electricity, internet and water. It's very rare that a condo in PH includes the utilities. If it did it would be 60k instead of the already ridiculous 45k

[@mr.randolph5582]

Places were Dated but very nice. Are the prices higher in the Philippines than in Thailand?

[@marcrichard7251]

Yes

[@bmactattoo1219]

That depends on the specific areas of Thailand vs the Philippines. Too many factors to make that generalization. Sukhumvit, Asok, Nana in Bangkok are very expensive. Go to the outskirts of BKK and it's cheaper. Pattaya is cheaper than BKK. Angeles is cheaper than Manila etc I've been staying in a 60sqm 2 bedroom condo in Makati for over 2 years. 50k per month on a ridiculously high floor, next to a mall. I was just in Bangkok and there is NOTHING remotely close to that for 50k peso equivalent in Bangkok. Most of the high floors in Bangkok are huge 2-4 bedroom penthouses. Or tiny shoeboxes for a similar price as the overpriced Iloilo condo in the video.

[@nairb9321]

By the way, I liked the video! I will stay right here in Angeles City, (Clark).

[@travelman5480]

Didn't see the condos name

[@jonross8925]

@GiointhePhilippines .,., Come on Gio, You're loosing a step when it comes to condo review. You know that everything here in The Philippines is in square meters, you didn't even bother mentioning it. Was that 2 different units in the video and had the same headline saying " 1 bedroom unit for 45K" ??

[@Lazy-A-L33]

Gio, nice apartments, but way over price.

[@francesmcdonald8145]

I think that is too much money for one bedroom. You should find at least two bedroom for that amount of money. Yes it’s modern.

[@RicG.]

Who pays electric, water, trash, etc? Are those included in the posted rent price?

[@talongranger6991]

if you're renting daily, everything are inclusive. If you're renting long term, it's 45K per month plus security deposit and last month rent, you pay monthly dues, electric, internet. if you rent daily for 365 days you only pay 1,500 per day amounting to almost 45K per month. Just saying.

[@mrbHanoi]

I would rather lease land and custom build a house In Japan, I own the land for 1000 years.

[@edgarwangsmo6]

Over-Priced !!! -Crazy ....

[@robertlloyd3184]

Good helpful video. Insanely overpriced for poorly designed units. I'll stay in Bangkok for now.

[@stevehansen6552]

This must be the foreigner price.

[@fashionfgurl18]

not cheap, overpriced and not worth it, for a mid size city ,like Iloilo its a ghost town

[@RichardMorse-h6r]

Too expensive, for that price, you can live in BGC.

[@bmactattoo1219]

A shoebox in BGC for 45k. But BGC is much nicer than Iloilo. Unless you prefer a smaller city.

[@billyakin3301]

No Beach. Nice but too expensive for me. Though it is a hell of a lot cheaper than the States.

[@LegalAutomation]

@@billyakin3301 Not when you compare cost per square foot. The only reason it's cheaper is because it's a tiny shoebox.

[@themacker894]

Nice place with the connection to the mall (what looked like a mall). Makes shopping quite convenient, even when it's raining. The lack of central AC would be a deal-breaker for me.

[@allanf6047]

Central ac doesn't exist there in most homes, only mini splits. A typical condo building won't wont have ac in the hallways either, only in the lobby and other common areas.

[@micktran8778]

It’s pricey

[@francesco514]

Live in Thailand: better accommodation better culture better food better attitydes

[@enricocontrerasaraneta7290]

Then glued your ass in Thailand.. No need to spread your shit and badmouth the Philippines just to ELEVATE your Thailand.. Not every person like Thailand that's why countless vloggers vlog the Philippines Don't forced everyone to like Thailand Taeland is all yours Redundant stupid troll

[@talongranger6991]

Watch out for this condo rental agents they are bunch of crooks. One BR condo doesn't cost 45K in Iloilo for long term, and definitely you don't pay for the monthly dues. This is a common practice in Iloilo where they will jack up the price from retail to condo rentals if they know that you're an expat. It is a very shamefu practice, don't fall for it. BTW, I owned a unit in the Palladium and the Master Deed" does not allow all units for commercial purposes.

[@jerryhufanda5791]

Hi Talongranger, are you living in your unit at the Palladium? Does it get busy with short term renters like AirBnB? I take it that all units have been bought already as pre selling was over a few years ago. This is one building I am planning to check out if I get back to Iloilo. Thanks

[@talongranger6991]

@@jerryhufanda5791, It gets busy with short term rentals but it's being challenged by some unit owners due to the language of the master deed and could land in court battle against the property management office/Asia Affinity and Megaworld. There are some ready for occupancy units left, but I we're you I will stay away from this buillding, too many problems, like water is leaking especially during the rainy days.

[@jeanpaul9673]

Extremely tiny and cramped living area, definitely a huge, ginormous step backwards in comparison to the west. I couldn't live in those chicken coops....no thanks.

[@MyChannel-qw3ew]

The clickbait Title of the "Perfect condo" and the condo itself... not need to say anything. We would be interested in good accomodations, not this overpriced shoeboxes.
