Cavite Province is a Hidden Gem for Expats That is Often Overlooked !!!

[@carlsmith7458]

Steve, this is valuable info!

[@RichTravel1010]

Thanks

[@skiprat63]

Brilliant . Nice place and nice to see your trying to keep it that way . You can't buy peace n quiet tranquility and good friendships. Good work guys .

[@jh-sp8es]

Great video...your very helpful to incoming expats..👍. I hope to be there some day

[@yollylewis9093]

I was born and raised in Cavite .. you should see it back when it was a lot nicer and quieter than now .. proud to be Cavitenan!!!

[@JP-kk2pu]

Awsome apt., great views. Cool windows as well. Great tour.

[@nondompom]

Check out the different areas around Dasma, they can be cooler with breezes making the climate much nicer. Saves a bit on aircon.

[@cadizwilmo9687]

Thanks for the tour. Very nice place. You do great work Steve!

[@td5079]

Wow, amazing the rents can be that low there in such a nice area. I'm on Leyte and sure do miss the western amenities you're right about that.

[@frankshewmake9753]

The closer to Tagaytay the higher the rents and heavy traffic. I am in Silang, between Dasmarinas and Tagaytay. . .less traiffic but 15-20 minutes either way. Hospitals, schools, and other amenities. Love it for 13 years.

[@edic2619]

Great videos. Thanks

[@smokymountainmodeler3054]

I've considered Cavite, but have settled on Davao for now. Close to a great hospital and a reliable electric grid and internet. Also a lot of western amenities and local markets. I hope to visit you and the guys one day.

[@51dbail]

I looked at Davao. I saw what happened to them when the pandemic hit. Many places to live got crossed off my list.

[@chillinvillan5472]

Was wondering where to plant my feet once l arrived to live. Cavite sounds like a great place to get my start in the Philippines while l travel around for first year. Thanx for your insight as always Steve. 🙏🖐

[@edic2619]

If you throw in a free ROOSTER... I will be over there tomarrow.

[@williamfeders8073]

Great advises and in agree with you .. stay positive is a must

[@rogerbryan3023]

I totally agree with you,it’s beautiful there

[@Sunmoon-gj9gy]

Great info Steve, I think I would fit in your group when I'm there , a 60 yr old non drinking history buff .

[@Sunmoon-gj9gy]

So is your thumbs-up an invitation to join your group 🙂

[@samwalker1691]

One more headed your way in September my friend lives in Carmona so will be looking in that area to start.

[@zeckul]

Thanks man, we need more vloggers like you showing us what the prices are in different areas of the Philippines. Cavite does look very cheap, and the proximity to Manila is interesting. I would think you could find similar prices in suburbs of other major cities of the Philippines too.

[@markmeenaghan934]

Sounds real good. I miss community I used to have with previous generation

[@geofffergusson7438]

Sounds great definitely will check that area out as my asawa is from Quezon City and wouldn't be to far away from her family and all the western amenities. That we like. Planning to retire there thanks for sharing. Geoff

[@joshuarizalforeman816]

We are just a hop away from you in Antipolo/Teresa. We own our own property and charge our tenants PP21,000 pcm for a four bedroom house in a gated community. We are also at quite a high elevation, so there's no need for aircon. I agree with you that being in this area - we are 1-2 hours from Manila depending on traffic - is ideal.

[@soniagopaul9243]

Steve I am single retire not interested in a relationship just some quiet place to relax from the cold winter Nov to April must be safe thank you.

[@rickylee6129]

Excellent VIDEO 📹 👏 👍. Be there in September/October hopefully 🙏 🙏 🙏.

[@teacherjohnsadventure9550]

Looking forward to seeing your area when I get back.. I would consider renting one of those places you feature in your videos...thanks for your information...looking forward to having a bbq with you and the family

[@blazerk.7189]

As usual good info..Steve.

[@t.m.640]

How about an update?

I'm so bloody jealous 😥😥😥😊

[@RichTravel1010]

Lol

[@RoseBill423]

Good video pal. U sound like you're from New England. Am I right? I'm from NYC hehe. Im gonna check that place out. Ortegas city is closer tho no??

[@jeh9936]

Thank you for this information. I really do appreciate it. I am just waiting to leave Thailand and relocate to the Philippines for the rest of my retirement as soon as possible. I must have a nice new unfurnished 2-3 bedroom place for around 15,000-20,000 pesos per month, and it must also be a quiet place (no loud music or karaoke aloud on the premises. Any additional information that you could give to me would be greatly appreciated. Yes, I am single with no intensions of marriage.

[@RichTravel1010]

That’s easy in General Trias !!!

[@redc8783]

There use to be a US Naval Air Station there. I think it was called Shngelly Point (sp)

[@outlawd1]

Excellent points, don't drink to get drunk it's not healthy for anyone respect the Philippines and the Philippines will respect you ! My co worker Andy from Cavite ,best friend I could hope for. Yes still working on my SRRV ,,someday soon

[@ExpatNTraining]

👍🏻👍🏻‘s up!

[@carsonnavigator4066]

Great

[@asyongmatipid2]

The moment they finish the LRT extension that passes through that area rents will surely go up.

[@sammyc.3846]

Its nice your inviting newcomers to join your group/think tank. i particularly can not stand drunk talking or bullshit story tellers. your area sounds very appealing.

[@davidtolentino4358]

Hi Steve I heard Cavite is a flood prone area. ???thanks for sharing.

[@RichTravel1010]

Not in Trece

[@mikecampbell7502]

Thanks for the info on your place Steve. May I ask if Trece Matires is a city with high elevation? Do you need much aircon there? How is the power supply? Do they often have brownouts there? I've hears some nice places in the PH have patchy power supply. What is the internet like there? Fast or patchy service? Thanks

[@thylacine1004]

Great info,how much to buy an apartment your in ?

[@elitepctech]

How would you rate Tagatay?

[@RichTravel1010]

Excellent but a bit expensive

[@elitepctech]

@@RichTravel1010 - The rent prices in Trece Martirez are nice. After you mentioned the average rent for a 1 or 2 bedroom in Trece, it is tempting. Tagatay weather is nicer though. What is the average rent in Tagatay?

[@larrye2679]

Sounds really nice . Could you show a little more of the inside of the place? Also, do they rent month to month or do you have to get a 6 to 12 month lease? As always, thanks for the great video

[@RichTravel1010]

I showed this one in a few vlogs. They will do 6 or 12 month leases.

[@larrye2679]

@@RichTravel1010 ooops, ill vote back and check it out. Thanks

[@jbaily9270]

How's the rentals along the ocean

[@RichTravel1010]

There are rentals in Batangas that are on the ocean cheap.

[@Cons2911]

Cavity is nice in general, I’d pick it over metro Manila depending on how far work is

[@thetimmns]

You mentioned churches. Are there any Protestant churches in that area. They are hard to find in most Asian countries. Place looks really nice.

[@RichTravel1010]

Yes !!! Very plentiful

[@thetimmns]

Wonder if they wanta sell that rooster

[@johnkeogh42]

I hear you but my gf lives in Mandaue and wants to move to Lapu2x if we can afford to buy or build a house. Your usual 2 bedroom 1cr preferably in village with security.

Steve are those new glasses that you are wearing? They look really cool. Maybe do a short video about buying eye glasses in the the Philippines......

I have many glasses. They are cheap here

My chat mate gf is from cavite when the Philippines opens up, we will meet , thing is bout that area they have an unusual amout of beautiful women, my gf is 50 ish and just strikingly beautiful

[@carsonnavigator4066]

Any recommendations on hotels/short stay accomodation? Airbnb doesnt show much.

[@RichTravel1010]

Bayleaf is close and nearby

[@arlenenavarro716]

Steve where is that is Cavite. I'm coming home and I need a place. Thanks.

[@RichTravel1010]

It’s Cavite Province and not the town. It’s just South of Manila.

[@sasorishino]

Gated communities here are generally safer, more peaceful, and organized than the common barangays.

Are you the one we were talking to last January 3 at the immigration in Robinson Dasma? A German.

[@RichTravel1010]

Not me

[@danielnor5508]

Hello, first I would like to that you for a great video! May I ask how the Cavite area would work for someone visiting for vacation? I have a dream to sometime in the future spend half a year in the Philippines after I retire, but that is far time in the future for me. I am 49, and dont expect to be able to retire early because of a divorce. I have never used drugs, smoked or even been really drunk so I really do look for a party scene, but as I would travel alone friendly locals, sweet girls and decent food is high on my list. I also like to sometimes help people who are in need, so I also would like to ask if there are some squatter areas that is not too dangerous for a white guy to walk around in alone. I have made walks to help and feed homeless in Cebu city, but did not manage to go to the areas where the people needed my help the most. I tried once and almost got robbed, and leared that there are places you should not go alone if you are not a local.

[@RichTravel1010]

Cavite Province is very nice in many areas

[@jmc2494]

$80 per month is a insane steal!

[@DMF716]

My girl friend works and lives in Dasmariñas. Thats where i want to live. What is it now for rent in october 2023?

[@RichTravel1010]

Varies on the place

[@harryshannon2028]

I feel very safe in Thailand 🇹🇭 :I love to see the Philippines 🇵🇭 .but if there a lot of crime it would put me off .plz god some day I get there 🙏 . THANKS .

[@Dennis-dv4og]

Hello I know this is a little older video, but aside from low rent how is cost of living in this province? It's relatively close to Manila so are prices for every day items higher than Dumaguete?

[@RichTravel1010]

Not much

[@tonycanniffe2360]

How does Laguna compare?

[@RichTravel1010]

Still cheap in pockets

[@tonycanniffe2360]

@@RichTravel1010 Thanks mate. Was looking at that area ages ago.

[@fruitloops3718]

I just don't want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere. On the other hand I don't want to live in makati. I see these foreigners living out in the country. That's a hard life. Living in the big city is annoying due to all the traffic and pollution.

[@boomAJ6104]

New to your channel. May I ask are you Steve Johnson? If so, John Wales recommended me to your channel. My girl is in Quezon City, we are looking to move somewhere later down the line. Cavite or somewhere reasonable. Thx sir

Steve I am waiting for covid to be over , then I will come Unfortunately I am from WA Perth and we are really strict on travel at the moment The place you are showing looks ideal I am on a pension with a small savings of $22000 Can I survive I no what you are thinking 🤔 is he a big drinker and woman chasers The answer is no

[@PhilippinesLife101]

Depends on how small of a pension? Also depends on your life style and how much you want to travel around. 1k a month and you can live in a 1 bedroom or studio with wifi and AC going 24/7 and eat decent. You can't go out every night but you can once a week. You can take some local trips every couple a months. Now if you want a GF your expenses will go up to 1.5k to 2k. It all depends on your life style.

[@RichTravel1010]

I have many videos on what it takes to live well here. Another one tomorrow

[@Filo-Joe]

Nick how much your fortnightly pension in Australia?

[@markbutler1015]

Us expats need a special budget for the booze and ladies. If you know what I mean.

[@SpendingtheKidsInheritanceinth]

Have the gov changed the pension rules if your living overseas Nick ..

[@alexjohnson4332]

Looks like nice area. However why the big push on getting expats to live near you. Yes it will over time become an expat community and some the expats will complain too many expat live here time to leave. If a hidden gem ,why not keep it a secret ??

Trust me, they can be absorbed here.

Cavite has some pluses. It really depends on what you want. But traffic can be very bad. Cavite area 501 sq miles, population 4.3m. My US home county 700 sq miles, population 34.2k. Maybe it's just my perception?
