Hello am moving to moving to Vietnam soon how can I get an apartment help

[@gmm5550]

My tip after working and living and traveling all over se asia over +15 years now is: Explore the city, move around..use hotels guesthouses airbnb at least 14 days or more so u get a feel for the city and districts and vibes before u look for a condo to rent. Learn the public transport's..learn how to get around. its not only the condo that is important, its the area and i've seen many over the years here in Bangkok where i'm located , having great affordable condos but well they live in a boring expensive area filled with other expats or living in extremely busy areas where here are no calm or relax.

[@ninja.teacher]

Useful advice 👍

[@gmm5550]

@@ninja.teacher just my 5 cents..haha.. most se-asian city's can be totally different district to district..like alot of smaller city's in the city. Same with the prices and transports and food scene

[@shaymcdermott3434]

Yoooo it’s Minh! 🫰

[@mebesaturday]

Nice video but it's clearly made for and priced for foreigners and short term are always more expensive. I live not too far from that area in a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom for 9mil ($365usd) overlooking a quiet park and river. Its always best to deal directly with the owner and not the realtors as they usually take a months commission on a 1 year rental

[@TeacherInKorea]

Thanks for this video! I'm moving to Vietnam in January so this is very helpful! Please do a 2 bedroom video like you suggested!

[@RamonGonzales-gh1ki]

Very informative! You’re fortunate to have found Min to guide you with a nice place to stay. Thank you.

[@AngelaAimeeLives]

This was such a helpful video, thanks Alex! Partnering with Minh seems like a great idea. It's nice to know a trusted realtor in Ho Chi Minh and from what you've both shared there seems to be more reasonably priced accommodations (with more appealing features) than what I've seen on AirBnB. Going to message Minh. See you all in HCMC soon!

[@ninja.teacher]

You're welcome Angela. Looking forward to meeting you on our November program!

If we want to see apartments online what’s a good site to use??

[@KJ-xc7ni]

10.5 for a studio apartment in Binh Thanh 😂,excluding the price for water, electricity and the noise from karaoke, roosters and dogs. I live in Grand Park and I pay the same price for a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment on the 33rd floor. Also comes with a huge swimming pool, the Vincom mega mall is next door, Vincom wonderland is opening soon and I can get a free bus to D1.

[@leeashernolan]

yea but you are super far from central.

[@KevinAndrewJones]

@@leeashernolan I can get to D1 in 40 minutes, not super far! Also the price I pay, comes with free use of two gyms, access to football pitch, badminton court, pickleball court and basketball court. Children's indoor and outdoor play area, and use of a golf driving range that's 500 metres away for 200vnd. My electricity bill for September was 800,000vnd.

[@davidpham9353]

you idiot even realize your location is cheap because its super far away, and its funny to drive on a dangerous freeway with tons of crazy trucks, dust and dust to go to the city ? :))

[@jimmycakes7158]

​@@KevinAndrewJonesLame, living in a bubble away from real Vietnam

[@KevinAndrewJones]

@@jimmycakes7158 Lame, is paying over the odds for a tiny studio in a noisy neighbourhood but making out it's a great price. I forgot to mention, there's a new water park opening soon, also a free bus to the airport and a water taxi that will go straight to D1.

[@jamesandrews2053]

If you solely want to be an ESL teacher, life in China like Shanghai and Beijing is a 10x better option. I’ve lived in both Vietnam and China. No brainer decision. Only choose Vietnam or Thailand if you work remotely and need stable crisp internet connection.

[@Drifterteetea]

Why do VN leave the stickers on all their electrical devices, fridges etc?

[@holdthel1n331]

hi ninja Teacher Thank u for sharing his contact, i will get in touch with him

[@scogginsscoggins]

District 7 is the best.

[@TeacherInKorea]

For what reasons, can I ask?

[@scogginsscoggins]

@@TeacherInKorea The only district that you can walk peacefully on the sidewalk(pavement) without parked motorcycles, restaurant tables, or bags of cement blocking the way.

[@KJ-xc7ni]

@@scogginsscogginsobviously, you’ve never been to Grand Park in D9. That has all the same as you’ve mentioned but things are cheaper

[@scogginsscoggins]

@@KJ-xc7ni I have never been to D9.

[@MrConartistdesign]

Can you do month by month ?? do you need to sign a year contract ?

[@ninja.teacher]

Most landlords won't do month to month. You can use AirBnb for short term rentals.

[@KevinAndrewJones]

No you can't, you may be able to do a 6 month contract but you'll have to leave either a 1 month or 2 month deposit, it's usually the latter.

Hello am moving to moving to Vietnam soon how can I get an apartment help

[@lunang8864]

The local will only pay 250$, which is 6M vnd for this room. All these kind of apartment is not rented directly from landlord but from a person who rent the whole Building and then sublet each room, they also make profit from electricity. The rate from Gorvermen is only 2.500 vnd/kw but this apartment will charge you 4000 or 4500vnd/kw. I have a 60m2 apartment with 2 aircons which I pay directly to government always just around 250.000vnd/moth.

[@ninja.teacher]

There's no way anyone is paying 6 million for this apartment in Phu Nhuan district, only 2 minutes away from Phan Xich Long street. I don't think it's any secret that foreigners typically pay slightly more than locals to account for additional admin costs like registering the foreigner at the local police station. But not that much of a difference. 🙂

[@lunang8864]

@ I’m actually apartment leasing agent. Depend how you deal with landlord. A lot local rent directly from landlord

[@user-ep3ck5re4o]

Well done NT 👌🙏💪💪

How difficult is it to find a job teaching English in Vietnam? What is the average pay?

[@cgiron3867]

Great video, Ninja Teacher. What is the contact info of the realtor gentleman? He seems very professional, knowledgeable and ethical. Thank you! Charlie N. 👍

[@ninja.teacher]

His number is in the video description. 🙂

[@dannyboi7572]

Whats his Instagram?

[@grainvisions]

You have like 10 videos of telling people to teach in vietnam but NONE on how actually do it. Sure, youre selling i course but we all know your course is not the only way to start teaching in Vietnam. Could you do a video on the exact steps people have to do in order to start this job? You could cover what courses are the best with budget, how to look for a job, how to apply etc essential info.

[@ninja.teacher]

Check out our video "How To Get A Job Teaching English in Vietnam (3 Best Methods Explained)" as a place to start.

[@leeashernolan]

simple google or youtube search will tell you how to teach in Vietnam. get legalized documents of your degree, background check and TEFL and come to Vietnam and apply to schools. finished. TEFL can be any cheap 120 hour online TEFL that has accredited on it.

[@mattd3826]

I finally made it to Vietnam! Thank you for all your helpful videos, by the way. They gave me the push I needed. How can I contact the man from the video? I've been here two months, only staying at hotels, but I am getting very exhausted from this travel lifestyle. I need to find myself an apartment with a kitchen so don't have to worry about where my next meal will be, and can spend more time and energy focusing on my job search. The problem is I don't know anyone here and don't know who to trust, and I can't speak the language well enough to make sure im not getting scammed into a bad lease. Thanks, as usual!

[@ninja.teacher]

Exciting you made it to Vietnam! Minh's number is in the video description.

[@chautiendung]

U can get apartment for $100 mth 😂

[@gmm5550]

yes of course u can eve rent a room for 30$ or less..but its about standard and location u know and lengths of contract.

[@kriskravt3428]

For the same price and even lower you can get a better-looking apartment with a better view, swimming pool, co-working space, and gym in I'm more developed cities like Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Jakarta. In less developed HCMC you get less for more which for me is unacceptable

[@tonyTony-vr7xn]

only 200 bucks u can rent a good apartment in saigon

[@Drifterteetea]

​@@tonyTony-vr7xnnah, even 10 years ago, you wouldn't get a good apartment in SGN for 4 million, especially as a nguoi nuoc ngoai.

Vietnam could be more enjoyable if the people didn’t throw garbage everywhere and the food vendors practiced hygiene. Sad.

[@killbotone6210]

You clearly spent your time in the sex tourist part of District 1. Says a lot about you. Had you taken time to explore Vietnam you'd have seen a beautiful, clean country. Sad.
