[@juancarlosvaldes4538]

When renting in the Philippines. I would follow the 3 times rent rule, if this rental is $900, make sure you make AT LEAST $2700 income monthly. It would get you out of trouble!

[@SMoore-vj7bt]

Let me add that for those who are on a fixed retirement income, your retirement is going to go ‘proof it's gone’ this decade, so you should be first focused on building your investments instead of upscale renting. Americans can find a place in Mexico for a third of this price while they build their net worth. Also $500 apartments can still be found in rural Texas for example. Note stock market and Bitcoin one more leg up then probably a severe crash before the Fed will open the money printing spigot again. I'm buying today the markets.

[@victordunn6490]

OMG, I didn’t realise that there are so many sick people on the internet. I watched some of the comments people were putting up absolutely disgusting! On a more positive note, thank you to, Paul and Baby Mae for showing us this beautiful home. I would most definitely want this but I’m not coming until the fall. If by some strange reason it’s still there I’ll invite you both round for a coffee.

I had a window shaker in my bedroom in the early 80s, but haven't seen one since. Even in the last 17 years in Southeast Asia all the A/C are split units. Price isn't too bad, you pay a lot for western amenities here. I have a generator too and it's a really nice thing to have. it's a must have on anywhere I'm staying for more than a few days. God bless everyone, stay happy and stay safe.

That is a very nice house. If I needed to rent a place, I would happily take such a place. Personally, I am just as happy with a $500-600/mo place that I could dress up a bit too though. I am MUCH more happy being offered a guest room though. That is primo!

Really nice place Paul. Might be a bit too big for me, but the fit and finish is exactly what I'll be looking for...Thanks

I know it's a lot different there, but I really do like a tub or even better a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom to soak in some nice warm water to relax.

[@SMoore-vj7bt]

Especially at the higher elevation it will cool off enough at night to make that enjoyable. I had a bathtub with hot water at a place I rented at 1000m elevation with a clear view of Mt. Apo. Search for Camp Sabros which was near the house I rented. That elevation is too extreme and can be very dreary as you will see in photos if you search.

Great Paul fabulous place Like you I live on a state pension but it’s so great to see how the other half live 😂 And actually 900 dollars is very reasonable when you remember that you couldn’t rent a CR in the south of England for 900 dollars and even double that would only rent you a tiny studio apartment so actually it’s incredible value

[@Re-certified_jlb]

haha Ive often thought this myself that I will be able to retire quite comfortably in the PI and often our favorite vloggers provide great info but to a lower bar. Frankly, places like Queratera Mexico are more inexpensive but the PI is my first love in the Pacific. This place is more similar to what I would be looking fro with a larger, open living space.

[@SMoore-vj7bt]

Mexico has a better climate but is much more dangerous.

[@TomBTerrific]

Nice place for sure there’s no denying that! I know Valencia is a nice weather location. They call it little Baguio or use to. I have friends who live near and I use to enjoy living in the area. This is renting for almost $50,000 P month and sharing the grounds with others? Prices have certainly increased a lot since my last visit. I just don’t know . Maybe if it were on a beautiful beach but that’s just me.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Thanks for the info!

[@Falconlibrary]

$900 USD is the asking price. Make an offer. I consider rent to be a negotiable item.

[@SMoore-vj7bt]

@@Falconlibrary if I was the owner I would ask a higher price. Owner just needs to make more foreigners aware it exists. @TomD living at sea level is oppressively hot and humid in the tropics, unless you can live right on the water and get a continuous breeze.

And by the way if you dont mind me asking is there any safe beach house and lot with white sand with great view available? Thanks! Stay safe! God bless!

[@RawHebrewRemnant]

The idea of the compound is comforting to me. Especially when it is outside (but not too far outside) a city that I can get most everything I may need. I also love the fitness center as I am pretty active (even at my old age lol). Although I could easily afford $900/mo, I would like something more in the $600-700 range. But even not being there (nor having never visited which I hope to change) I feel that something like that can be had. Paul, am I correct on that?

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

absolutely

[@SMoore-vj7bt]

That higher elevation in Valencia is much more pleasantly cool and more conducive to exercise. If you are interested you better grab it, because it will be rented quickly.

[@Jacksmyvids]

[@terryashley4674]

Great place and a great deal, Paul. This is why I can never remove the Philippines from my list. I really don't need that much space, rooms or amenities though. Another thing is I'd be weary of driving around in the Philippines because anything that happens would be my fault.

[@SMoore-vj7bt]

I lived in the Philippines from age 26 in 1990 to 2020, other than a few of those intervening years in the USA. You get used to the driving, but it is nerve wracking initially. As for accidents you just need to pay off other party, and yes all accidents will be your fault so do not bother waiting for the police. Just make arrangements. But on the flip side the mandatory insurance is a negligible costs so you can set aside the money you would have been spending in the USA on insurance. The most important suggestion I can give you is choose higher elevation (but not too high as becomes too dreary above ~500m) so you don't need to spend you life in airconditioning. Also choose a decongested living space with neighbors who don't have incessantly yapping dogs, chickens and karaoke. Also scope out your Internet access speed and reliability which is often lacking in most locations. Is Elon Musk's Starlink available yet in the Philippines? As for myself, I am finished with the Philippines because the inconveniences, congestion and climate wore me out. But to each his/her own.

@@SMoore-vj7bt In 398 days I'll be looking for someplace to retire. Right now I'm in Panamá on vacation. It checks off more boxes for me than most places I'm considering. I've never been to the Philippines, but hear it's call constantly. I like the people who I see there (on KZbin) expats and Filipinos alike. I've heard all the ups, downs and sideways from everybody. It seems that many people get tired of the crap, eventually.

[@SMoore-vj7bt]

@@terryashley4674 Filipinos are lovely people in their natural environment (always smiling, joking, friendly), but they can be a pita in congested settings such as skipping ahead in queues (and lots of queues in the Philippines). And they seem to be immune to noise pollution thus they think nothing of inundating their neighbors with it. I'm still traumatized from the incessant noise, so much so I start to wince if I am exposed to any even in the USA. Latin America has much more crime, home break-ins, car jackings and muggings than the Philippines. The most danger in the Philippines comes from all the coughing people (they will turn and cough in your face and think nothing of it) and the crazy drivers especially on the highways. You may want to listen to Richard Heart's (the HEX scam creator) relate his harrowing experiences in Panama. He claims connected attorney and politicians stole his businesses, house, vehicles, and bank account. I find ex-urban, rural provincial life in the Philippines very charming.

You'd need a few hectares to be sure of that because a new neighbor can move in anytime. But on the farm, then you will inundated with smoke from activities on the farms around you.

Yet my exhaustion with it may not apply to everyone. I will answer any questions if you have any for me.

[@landrodomingo981]

It would be nice if the house has Solar power to prevent paying electricity which is extremely expensive and they overcharge you compared to utilities in North America which are less expensive or much cheaper as well as gas for cooking and heating water. For $900 but for $1000 us dollars with solar power, a water cistern system to use to wash the car, wash the dogs, flush the toilet and cleaning windows and floors. Saves a lot of money. All you need are food supplies, and going out to shop or eat plus your gas for the car and maintenance for it.

You will use much less airconditioning at that higher elevation.
