STUNNING CONDOS FOR SALE IN SALINAS ECUADOR!

[@k.k.9897]

I enjoy the real estate videos. They let us see what is available for those of us seriously researching to make the move to Ecuador. Thank you for your hard work and time. I don't understand why the critics click on a clearly titled video if it's not what they are interested in seeing. Keep up the good work.

[@AmeliaAndJP]

Gracias! We feel the same way. We wished we had these videos before we moved here to make it less scary. But we get soooo much criticism for showing real estate, that we probably won't do another one for a while. These are a real pain to organize, film and edit so they're not worth all the negativity.

[@k.k.9897]

Go figure. Sorry you get that, it's truly undeserved.

[@fernandoherranz4095]

@@AmeliaAndJP That's a shame that you get negative comments for doing the real estate vids. It makes total sense to me for you to make them since you are encouraging people to check out Ecuador and it's a big help to know how much places are and what they look like. I think people want to see tourism-focused videos where they can see the sites vicariously through you and when you post a "boring" video of condos, they don't enjoy those. I actually enjoy all of your vids! Thank you for sharing and enjoy Ecuador!

[@MichelleBunt]

@@AmeliaAndJP You do what you need to do for your health and sanity. But I absolutely love these videos and the rental ones too. I click on them as soon as they come out! They're so interesting AND very helpful for understanding the types of accommodation available in different areas of Ecuador and the price. You can research online but to see with your own eyes is the best way to get a feel for things. I love all your content and the great energy you bring to KZbin!

[@sunshinet3058]

I also love real estate and rental tours. There's a reason these tend to be high view rate videos regardless of location. I mean, House Hunters International must be i its 20th season lol. Tbh I watch your videos to learn about moving to and living in and navigation of ecuador, there are lots of short term full time travel vlogger to show me the top tourist destinations. You guys show me hat makers and visit Cumbaya and things only long term residents are likely to go do or see. That includes property tours and prices

[@kitthornton2336]

Salinas is a wonderful place to live. We've been here for almost a year (can you believe it?) and we're delighted with it.

[@stevebbuk]

Are there any negatives about living there? Does the Humboldt Current affect you in any way?

[@chasingllamas1031]

Wonderful work on the video-as usual. First time commenting since I noticed negative comments complaining at the uptick in real estate videos and felt compelled to weigh in and voice my huge appreciation for the work you do. I can’t say I understand or agree with the complainants’ points- your videos are so much more informative and educational than either a quick google search on the internet or a scour of listings on real estate websites. Until one buys a plane ticket and does an actual in-person tour of properties in Ecuador (which may be the only way to gather detailed, objective information about specific properties), your videos are the next best thing for us still exploring a broader vision for ourselves and seeking affirmation of what’s out there. It’s not a substitute for people doing their own homework and legwork. However, I believe there is a demand for these videos, along with your slice of life content, because they debunk people’s assumptions of what’s financially within the range of possibility and are super inspiring for those of us actually planning to move to Ecuador one day. I personally can’t unsee those gorgeous ocean views now that you’ve put them in my head through your videos. So thank you again for incorporating them into your channel and I hope you continue to share more in the future!!!!

[@vhoy7899]

All 4 properties Are really great. I love the openess of the rooms and the natural light. I think they are all worth the prices mentioned

You are so informative and I so appreciate the time and effort it takes for you to put together your videos and show us so many different places to see in Ecuador. THANK YOU!!!

Is that $1 per sq meter per month or per year?

[@floccinaucinihilipilifications]

Thank you!

[@konsmberg]

hi guys, thank you for the amazing video. The first unit (~1:50-2:00 minutes into the video), it's unclear if HOA is per month or per year. The voiceover says per year, but the text says 1$ per square meter per month. That would make HOA fees for this condo over 1k a month, which is too high even for New York City :)

[@yeraori]

You are confusing sq meter with sq feet. It is 120 sq meter which means HOA is $120 per month as per $1 per sq meter/month calculation.

Thanks for this!! I get so bogged down in thinking about where will I live? Is there something I can afford? And then you have a video about housing. Since you plan to put housing tours on the back burner, do you have any channels that you recommend that do tours of all sorts of homes? Like rentals? Or smaller homes? Or is that something that the realtors frown on? What about smaller rentals? There's gotta be people that live alone.... ??

I’ve been watching your videos for some time and enjoy them but have a question: why are we called in- conventionals?

[@AmeliaAndJP]

Following a life-changing event back in Denver Colorado, we took stock of our lives and decided we needed to do something different. After a lot of soul searching and some VERY tough decisions, we made the choice to sell everything we owned and leave the US in search of a more UNCONVENTIONAL life, in a more affordable and tranquilo part of the world. That's why we also call our subscribers unconventionals, they too are looking for a unconventional lifestyle.
