Tour My House and Apartment Rentals in Belize

[@sweetypatnett6123]

Wow, it's very nice. You really upgraded on this one.

[@JamesHarris-fn4rc]

Thanks!

[@sweetypatnett6123]

The second location is a lot nicer with more space. I wouldn't mind renting one like this in Belize. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@sweetypatnett6123]

It's nice but I need to be close to the stores and houses. Anyway, thanks for sharing this video.

[@lightshine6851]

Are utilities included in the monthly rent? About how much do utilities run there?

[@ltmac53]

Electric is usually not included. I pay around $100 USD per mint on electric, but I live air conditioning!

Hi, Shawn, we've seen your videos a number of times. We've been to Placencia in 2016 and twice in 2018. Hopefully, we'll be there in mid-March. Can you tell me about the current situation with sargassum please? Is it on the beach? We stay at Casa Palma when we're there. Thanks, Shawn!!

[@ltmac53]

Really depends on the time of year. It was perfectly clear from October until a couple days ago. Mats started coming in. Most areas do a good job of cleaning it off the beaches. But when it’s bad it can be in the water at the shoreline for yards out.

What about all the crocodiles moving around in the morning and early evening?

[@JS-jh4cy]

They love the water canals and low wet spots

[@ltmac53]

When I lived in the first place by the canal and lagoon, I only saw the one croc. There’s a video of it somewhere on this channel. But they’re definitely there. They don’t really bother people. My dog even jumped in a few times without permission

[@steveandrews6280]

How much is cosiderably more for your new place, if you dont mind me asking. And thanks for the tour.

[@ltmac53]

Almost 3 times

[@steveandrews6280]

@@ltmac53 Thanks.

[@benrogers354]

Obviously you just got into your new place, are utilities included if no can you talk about those costs?

[@ltmac53]

Everything but electric like the last place. I’m working on something with breaking down different costs…cell phone, internet, electric, etc…

[@mgalg9577]

Congrats Shawn! Very nice!

[@ltmac53]

Thank you!

Hello there I would like to know a little bit more about BELIZE I retire in tow years was interested in moving to the country but it would be nice to know someone who already lived there. Is it OK if you send me your email or a little information about how can I go about finding somewhere to stay like the place that you have is very nice and looks comfortable.

[@ltmac53]

Find me on Instagram. Can send messages there

[@rosemiranda7300]

Good video, but you didn't say how much was the second house. I am asking because I am interested in moving to Belize in the Fall. Thanks!

[@ltmac53]

I didn’t want to publicly say how much, but nearly 3 times what I was paying. And a friend owns this one so it might not be fair to give out any expectations

[@rosemiranda7300]

Thanks !

[@Harry-Lew]

Now that you have moved to downtown Palencia how have you found the change in social life? I think Palencia is about 1500 people and there are about 3400 people on the whole penisula.

[@ltmac53]

My social life hasn’t changed. Just a lot less driving

[@peterhansen5184]

See you this November Pete from Perkasie, PA 😎

[@ltmac53]

Awesome. Let me know if you come to Placencia

[@ericthomas7624]

Hey Shawn, I'm from Jersey as well. I'm assuming you been to many parts of Belize already. What areas would you recommend. And I hear Northern Caye Caulker was nice as well. It's supposed to be up and coming for growth and development.

[@ltmac53]

North Caye Caulker was pretty much empty when I started coming. There is development happening there now. But you’ll still have to ferry across for a lot of goods. Also been to Ambergris Caye, Corozal, Belmopan, and lots of smaller villages. I plan to visit a lot more areas starting soon

[@ericthomas7624]

@@ltmac53 have you gotten the chance to visit any ex-pat communities up in Corozal like Sarteneja?

[@ltmac53]

@@ericthomas7624 Sarteneja is kind of out of the way and remote. I wanted to check it out but really didn’t have the time. There are expats in a lot of areas.

[@Tsiskwahi]

Hi Shawn, this is the first video I've seen from your channel. Thanks for the content! I'm wondering if you would recommend any particular method to search for rentals Placencia for people who will be living there for the next few years. Hopefully you have some methods that don't involve Facebook! Thanks for your channel.

[@ltmac53]

Facebook is definitely a good start. Find all the local realtors and property management companies that handle rentals, then go to their specific websites

[@Tsiskwahi]

@@ltmac53 Thanks! We may bump into one another in the next six months when we move down. Watching your other vids now.

[@parkerbennett2666]

Hi Shawn, I’m interested in disappearing I suppose is the word for it. Would this be a place you’d recommend? I need away from everyone & everything, I stumbled across your videos & it just seems like a beautiful place to live out the rest of my life.

[@ltmac53]

I personally love it here. But I also recognize that it’s not for everyone. I’d definitely recommend to learn about the different areas of Belize, then visit the areas that interest you before making any long term decisions

[@parkerbennett2666]

@@ltmac53 will do for sure! It’s looking like my kind of place, but I think I’m going to visit before I make any decisions. I look forward to seeing what all it has to offer & hope to see you around!

[@kathyronhamm6010]

How much is the rent here?

[@ltmac53]

Rather keep some secrets. But less than what I would have paid in a run down area in NJ far from the beach.

[@lisaiacuzzi7567]

Did you rent btb approved housing?

[@ltmac53]

Yes. I assume so anyway. I’m not asking to see their hotel license but they knew my status. The first place was ran by a very popular property maintenance company here.

Why no mention of the rental price on the nicer place? Come on man.

[@deanspeer1]

The new place looks great! I presume the $450 was US? We just returned home from Placencia today. We loved it so much we made an offer on a lot. Enjoy the new place!

[@ltmac53]

Yes, USD. Thank you!

[@grahamaustin7542]

Tells us NOTHING !!! What's the price of the new place so we can compare what you get for the extra money. Pointless video if we can't compare.

[@ltmac53]

Lol, ok. About 3 times the price of the first one. Thought I said that somewhere, but renting from a friend so you’d pay more for the same.
