[@modoulaminblackman9785]

As a Gambian this price is too high even for avarage African Americans looking at the standard of the house I would say $400 a month is more than sufficient and may be $7000 for the whole year ✌🏾

I’ve been watching various videos from some repats and Gambian’s for a few months. These prices seem to be climbing. I’m sure there is a price change with various areas. I’ve spoken to someone who gave me a $5000 a month rent ☺️ What fool would pay that in a developing country? We don’t have to pay a fraction of that in the states. My question is what is the average Gambian paying based on their incomes? I’m sure not $1000 a month. We hear sentiments like brothers and sisters come back home, but not to be swindled. Shame!!!! My heart would be to go Africa to build, to be a blessing and not a curse. Holy Father help us to do better!!!

Isatu I love your videos. I am not gonna say much about the place but this is way too expensive. There are a lot of us in the disapora that want to return to the motherland and we are watching a lot of videos and doing a ton of research before we even visit. I watch a lot of your other videos and all the other prices seem reasonable except for this one. I am seeing newer 4 bedrooms there for $300-$400 per month. I saw a video from BAG the other day with the same thing. $1.7 million Dalasi for land that should be selling for less than $400 thousand. The diaspora is sharp guys. To live and survive in the US or UK we can spot a good or bad deal from a mile. Most of the folks coming over are not gonna be rich with lots of disposable income, they will be retirees and people on fixed income or savings. If the prices are not reasonable they will look elsewhere. Please tell the folks selling or renting these places to be reasonable so we are motivated to visit and possibly even stay.

[@joyfulton6512]

This is just not fair to price houses so outrageously expensive for the expats. you people are just pricing yourself out of the game. I suggest very much that you guys do some research on other countries with similar economic level in Africa like Uganda, Ghana and Tanzania just to name a few...Then look at other countries who might be your competitors to understand how much disservice you are doing to yourself. Look at other countries like South East Asia, for instance, the Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia and of course Latin american countries like Ecuador, Columbia, Panama all of which have a comprehensive package for expats with rents readily available for $200 dollars USD a month with nice amenities and utilities plus with added bonus like paved roads, nearby doctors and pharmacies, business malls, theatres, festivals and the likes...Please, don't price the Gambia out for expats. Do your homework. Expats too are looking for good deals from around the world and most of us are savy shoppers. We like Africa of course but for most of us money is not limitless...

[@benkarl1274]

I'm also seeing this greedy behavior in Ghana. What they don't understand is that there are more established communities with fairer prices. You can still get descent housing in some parts of the U.S. and Canada for $1000. A $1000 is a very nice villa in Portugal. Part of the draw to Africa was the lower cost of living and the peace of mind of not having to work to death to pay your bills. You take that away by being greedy, people will just stay home or look elsewhere. And when we do end up picking Thailand, Vietnam or Panama they'll wonder why we skipped Africa. If this whole going back to Africa and returning home fizzles out, greedy real estate and people price gouging will be the main reason. It's sad.

@@benkarl1274 This is the dream of everyone leaving the West. We are all looking for better pasture. It does not matter what race or ethnicity we belong to. Whites are mostly moving to East Asia and Eastern Europe like you said Portugal, but there are even better prices in Latvia, Slovenia, Romania, Georgia (Europe) and the likes with beautifully serene beaches and mountains, good food and architecture not to mention solid infrastructures. In a picturesque southern France near les Pyrennes, one can find a very comfortable house or apartment for just $500 USD and the list goes on. In southeast Asia, a very comfortable house can be found starting at 175 USD per month. Africa was my dream destination for many reasons and of course is my heritage. I know I can make a difference there. I have lived in Europe and in Asia although I am an American citizen. New York is my hometown. In many countries I have cited above one can live on $1000 per month including rent. I am hoping this diasporan exodus will not turn into a fiasco. Already I personally know how whites are making fun of us moving to Africa. They think that continental Africans are largely taking advantage of us by overpricing everything. The diaspora needs to exercise due diligence...

One example Texas Progreso A small town of the less than 6,000 people not far from the Rio Grande and the Progreso Lakes, Progreso is the most affordable place to live in Texas. The median home price there is just slightly above $50,000 and the median rent is only a little more than $550 per month. The town is also experiencing a high economic growth rate and is known for its pleasant winters.small town of the less than 6,000 people not far from the Rio Grande and the Progreso Lakes, Progreso is the most affordable place to live in Texas.

No one is going to want to rent or buy with these ridiculous prices and the economy will remain stagnant. Thailand grew because it attracted a lot of people with cheap housing and cost of living.

Hey guys So just wanted to let you all know that my job is to show you homes which I believe are upto standard and legit. It's not my job to get anyone to decide; the ball is totally in your court if you like the house and want to rent it. It is the right of the owner to state his/her price and it's also the right of the prospective client to accept it or not. I just want to be clear that anything that makes it to my channel, goes through a lot of screening and it must be legit. I can't promise you cheap homes of $400 or less per month. If I see any, I will definitely share but one thing I do know is that's difficult to get and not all houses with such prices are legit. Most are not even legit.....So do enjoy the video and don't let the price tag discourage you.

Hi Isatu, thank you for your effort in bringing information about The Gambia to us in the diaspora. I am agreeing with many of the posts that rental is too much. In less than a year I see prices of houses and land have skyrocketed to high heavens. Rental of houses is no less overpriced. In some cases the money amount is even more than it is more developed developed countries. I would hate to think that Gambians offering land and houses for sale or rent think that we in the diaspora are idiots or simpletons. If these astronomical prices continue, soon The Gambia will see less and less people settling or visiting. I am beginning to have some doubts about whether I should visit the country.

Nice!

[@anderiyah3rdeyewatching355]

Here in the USA I pay more then that for a 1 bedroom, but I also work here everyday to get the money to pay, but once I come there I will not have that kinda of income. So I'll be down bugeting. I'll need to see some houses for less then $500...a month. Saw the property land, and I plan to buy land, as my daughter will stay in the USA and will send funds, to purchase the land.

[@sakbar958]

I pay less than that for my mortgage living outside Washington DC. There is no way I would pay that amount in a developing country. When I start exploring different countries I would be looking for a 2-3 bedroom around $450.

[@marybarlow3628]

Isatu you must do your homework when posting for your subscribers I’m sure you know this is a ridiculous price for The Gambia, people will unsubscribe and not take you seriously if you don’t protect your subscribers from this type of opportunist....maintain your reputation and don’t allow this price gouger on your channel...some diaporians not familiar with Gambia wouldn’t know this is a ridiculous price.....

[@IsatuBokumsVlogs]

Noted :)

[@marybarlow3628]

Isatu Bokum's Vlogs Isatu you are a lovely young lady and overall doing a good job just providing you some constructive feedback which I see your graceful enough to take on-board shows you are of good character. I am sure your channel will continue to flourish and grow....

[@IsatuBokumsVlogs]

@@marybarlow3628 Thank you so much Mary. There is no channel of mine without you all. I have to ensure that whatever is on here works in your favour (Subscribers). Therefore your feedback is noted and will put that into consideration on the subsequent videos. Thanks again

[@teemadarif8243]

However I don't think you should lose subs on the count of a few rentals being over priced. That's just the way of the world it's not that serious

[@denisejohn5057]

Farrrrrrrr......toooooooo.....l..expensive!!!!!

[@IsatuBokumsVlogs]

According to him, the price is negotiable as mentioned in the video: make an offer if interested and take it up from there.

[@denisejohn5057]

Isatu Bokum's Vlogs I will be there in November and will need a place to rent for 6 months! I will look when I get there! Thanks for the review

[@saudiaspratt1954]

Hello queen you still look cute with your mask. Thanks for sharing!

[@yeverett4533]

Extremely overpriced for the Gambia. There are homes much nicer there for less and with better furnishings.

[@DinNDee]

I'm American who has done some international travel and that price is quite high, in my opinion.

[@faithlewis4695]

I get so tire of seeing these videos of KZbinrs showing homes with jacked up prices.

[@ImCelestialbeing]

Came here because the BAG family recommended! Well not interested in this one but would like more Information on other properties from $300-550 month with a 3-6 month lease! I'll reach out this month!

[@lesliefuller9701]

Great 👌 thanks

[@Be-Transformed-not-Conformed]

Can you show rentals near the BAG family compound?? Thank you

[@Gamrider]

The BAG property is in middle of nowhere. You see how far they have to drive to get to the property. This property is in brusubi. It is very popular area, and you are in the middle of everything. Also like a 10 mins drive from beach.

Great house! The only thing that really needs work is the kitchen.. particularly if you are seeking foreign renters.

[@issajara6624]

In Gambia the house rent is 300 to 350to 400,

[@lasoniabeathea]

Nice potential home.

[@justinejones1092]

Sadly, after seeing this video and others like it where the prices have been artificially inflated because the owners know that diasporians want to repatriate, I am really losing enthusiasm for whether I want to actually move to the Gambia. If I have to pay these types of prices, I will go someplace more developed, and that I feel will treat me fairly rather than exploit the opportunity. People who are repatriating incur significant expense to do so, and I am willing to invest in a country to help make it better, but not to my own personal detriment. This was a disappointment and as the host of your channel, I would suggest you take the time to research your featured properties more carefully. It may end up costing you subscribers if you do not.

[@jennifermcleod3802]

Justine Jones I totally agree with you. People going to Africa for many reasons. People just want peace but it looks like the diaspora have another fight on their hands. It’s called dealing with greed people!🙏🏿

[@cherryharrison7179]

Totally agree with you.

[@IsatuBokumsVlogs]

Dear Justine Please do not lose enthusiasm to move here. Just like I mentioned in a comment, we have other reasonable homes which I would be featuring soon. This is just one in the many and do not judge based on just this. Kindly do stick around...probably other videos might work for you and you would like those houses instead.

[@kareemmefriend1293]

Hi Isatu! Nice place indeed. Bye the way, you look lovely in dress and mask :) I would not need so much extra space but, it is beautiful mansion. I wonder what I could do with $0,000? Could I have a nice (3) BD-room ?...maybe not quite enough but your video's are always very nice and your a lovely host!

[@IsatuBokumsVlogs]

Kareem me Friend Thank you Kareem. I would be bringing more videos soon. Probably from there you would be able to see your choice. Again, thank you

Very nice home...

[@mssalahuddin7]

It’s a lovely home. It’s a bit of a blank slate that you can put your own style into. I did think it too high $ but I negotiate everything and that is expected in many countries in Africa. I didn’t see AC or ceiling fans, nor any hot water heaters and that is a deal breaker and hence why the price isn’t commensurate with the homes amenities. Great job.

[@bigchief7829]

I would like to buy land, like 100 acres, preferably by the beach. Is that possible?

Beautiful home but it seems a bit expensive for the Gambia thousand dollars a month

Is this house located near amenities? What is the area like ? Is it available unfurnished?
