They really had a good deal with that house. The best part, lots of bathrooms.

[@LAWebDesignPro]

Funny... as we Filipino crave to go here to USA 🇺🇸.. I see a growing numbers of foreigners going to Philippines lately. Goodluck there and have fun. 🍀

[@p50billadventures19]

Holy Cow these people have a lot of stuff, my god I cannot imagine living in the Philippines and having so much stuff.

That’s the Serenity spaceship from the series Firefly, awesome series! Did your friend do any writing for it? That house/compound is unbelievable for what he’s paying. I understand why it’s taking you so much time now. Stay the course and continue vlogging new potential rentals, I very much enjoy watching them because I am strongly considering retiring there. Keep up the great work.

[@markg999]

Yea that's a nice house and great price...like the detached guest house and high balcony.

[@frankflores7038]

That is a Firefly class transport. Her name is Serenity. From my favorite series and movie.

[@pumpkinjoesphilippineexperienc]

It's definitely (who you know) as most house and lots aren't advertised with any signage. We searched for 1-1/2 years and most places we only learned of via a realtor agent, broker, or someone who knows someone. That's a nice price for what you're getting there, for sure. I would ask what's the selling price; as housing prices are staring to shoot up in all over Negros and Cebu now. I'm glad we bought when we did.

[@samiam6771]

What a score !!! 400. I pay 3000. In Cali for a 3 bedroom.. 🤦

[@zorbalight3933]

What a setup wow - keep looking you will find one just as good your patience will be rewarded. I laughed at the floor tiles in a couple of locations (roof deck and under awning that I could see) made up of oddments and end of building jobs leftovers, not uncommon in PI.

Huge house and lot but I don't like living in such which I can't be able to manage to arrange and clean at all times lol.. it's very tiring.. unless I am rich and able to pay for maids.

[@crissoriano2287]

Nice sir

[@danielhackney7806]

Finding it though a friend they know mean it would probably list for $600 + per month if it was on Facebook or through a realtor. I might be off a few bucks plus or minus. No doubt $410 is a KILLER DEAL! Okay, I jumped the gun with my post, at the end of video you did mention original asking price 30,000 peso.

Lot of San Jose's in the Philippines. I like to look at the map before watching these videos. This San Jose is near/north of Dumaguette.

[@natesquestyouknowthatsrigh8269]

Awesome

[@David-McCuen]

I see someone beat me to it. Yep, it's the Firefly ship. The show was the same name and it was a great sci-fi show, that Fox screwed up and took off the air. It was popular enough that they made a movie aferwards.

[@colinwoods5663]

Yea but only lasted one season

[@5hawn739]

Thats serenity from Firefly

[@eddiesanders3383]

Would love to get the lot beside of them and build a house. Nice.

It's Serenity! A Firefly-class spaceship!

[@martinagnew7508]

Hey Ned, have you looked at his old house? It may be better than the Pink house. Was going to ask about looking at houses outside Dumaguete - Sibulan, San Jose, Amlan, Bacong or Dauin, after your last house hunting video. Good luck, Take care and Be safe.

I believe that was the space ship that was used on SG1 ...the 303 or something like that. Am I right?

[@Malkier67]

Ned, been watching your videos for a long time and whenever you pronounce jalousie windows “jalosay” it makes me curious, did you grow up saying it that way or is it a Filipino way? I grew up in the suburbs of Boston and we had them on our porch and it’s pronounced “jaloseee”

[@marystar6021]

Philippine Dreams - Does this home come with a generator? Since power outages / blackouts are quite frequent in the Philippines, if they don't have one, they should invest in one. Well worth the expense.

Hey Ned, does anyone have Starlink there yet?

Not yet. They are saying late 2022 now. Ya can sign up for it now if ya want - I think it is a $100 down payment or something.

[@Angel_62215]

P25k a month that’s not $400 that’s over $500 with conversion… still not bad for a huge house!

They are paying 20k. Bit over 400 a month.

hodge podge, made me dizzy with everything!!!

[@poiqweee]

Those were going to be my exact words 'hodge podge.' Too chopped up, disorganized and chaotic looking for my taste. Everything is disjointed in the house floorplan. Plus, who wants to be a slave taking care of a house and property like that. Keep it organized, clean and simple which will make it more appealing. I guess I'm getting too old to be bothered with all that work.

Where is this at

Very nice place but it's not a quiet place. I can hear the roosters and they would drive me crazy.
