[@Tony-8280]

My respect for the Filipinos sinks deeper and deeper when I watch all the videos Ned shows us. Run down, dirty, neglected and tasteless places. It is unbelievable that these real estate agents or owners are not ashamed to show such rental properties to potential tenants. 500 $ a month ??? No way. I agree what others told Ned: build your own house. Never mind it would be only a small one. Still better than living in a dump site.

[@huting6426]

That is Philippines

[@kellyc2425]

@Tony I totally agree. This is the 2nd of his videos I've seen and I'm getting super turned off to the idea of retiring there.

[@alank.harder7228]

That P25,000 is the new 'sweet' spot, regardless of the condition, location or size. I'm actually surprised that more wasn't stripped from the house. I'd love to know what landlords are thinking when they assess the value and subsequent asking price.

[@hillbillyintheasia6122]

with 15k all its worth no back yard

[@rickbold9337]

Those roosters would drive me insane🤪🤪

[@VMOP1]

rick bold then i have one advice for you. Dont go to the Philippines

[@RAZORRAZE2K]

Hahahaha

[@daynevickers1079]

It took me about 3 months to find out the roosters aren't there as a stud but rather for cockfights, as it's legal in the Philippines. So yeah, they love their roosters [at least as long as they win, lol]

[@philippinefandango2859]

Good size building, and yard.. I don't think Filipino's know what making a place ready for sale or rent is.. Still a lot of work to be done... 25k php = NO... Thanks for the vid Ned...

[@hillbillyintheasia6122]

too high ,lol

[@hillbillyintheasia6122]

little yard paul in thephilippines big house and yard 15 k peso 3 bedroom and 2 cr garden spot

[@bjornjonsson7061]

A big no. Over price they shud be happy to get 200 us a month but first clean it up and rooster free

[@KingNewJersey]

Ned, Just buy land and build $50K to $75K usd, I know you always said rent but maybe setting up your own house is a option?

[@benfernkay8974]

Damn, i guess ned is loaded, 50 to 75k on a phils house, hahahah,,, He stopped working when he was 46, hahaha,,,

[@bjmccann1]

I think that foreigners aren't allowed to own real estate in the Philippines.

[@JABM-AU]

Ever thought of living some where else besides Dumaguete? A friend of mine decided to live in Baguio with his girlfriend. They are renting a 4 bedroom townhouse for 50k pesos.

[@davidkaiser810]

This slow search will be worth it in the end. It is better to find what you want than settle. Your house is out there.....

[@hudewhatii4356]

Would you be on the hook for AC unit in master bedroom & working shower in master bath ? No bedroom for nanny. Seems over-priced for unfurnished and no appliances. Good luck trying to use bedroom closest to master bedroom as office. That would be Zoey's room, man. The three of you taked care & good luck.

[@fredschell8051]

I pay only 4000 pesos rent for a huge house here in Tuburan..brother.😀

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

Lol.. Some good points but not $500

[@roygoad2870]

Certainly not a very well kept place, forget it imo, the whole place needs attention and renovation and how do you do that if your renting!

[@JimCTSCLO]

So, I may be wrong but......is the owner willing to pay someone $500 to live there? Cause, I don't think there are any suckers coming down the street too soon.

[@GreenManalichi]

It's not too bad, but still needs some TLC and cash for the aircons. The question for me.... what to do for excitement there

[@zorbalight3933]

Don't live in the province.

[@iangenge4832]

Nope. Shade the only redeeming feature especially when P25,000 equates to AUD717.... All the best to you and yours Ned.

[@hillbillyintheasia6122]

500 usd buy a new build house same size 350 usd a month with 400 sqm lot

[@peterramstedt6260]

they need to pay me 5000 to live there

[@huting6426]

What???? $500 no way..not worth it..what kind of rental house is that!

[@laserbeam002]

$500 a month???.....Well compared to rental prices here in the U.S that would have been a good deal....but in the Phils I think that is a bit over priced. But I'm no expert

[@RoyMusic11111]

Are there any 3 bed 3 bath houses or pool villas in the Dumaguete, Valencia, area? Or to buy for cash?

[@devono7230]

The roosters do my head in. I stayed at a mates house In Cebu and they kept the roosters outside my bedroom window. Not good after a night on tanduay

[@dbcoop5273]

Always enjoy the vlog Ned, I've been following for years and can't wait for the Zoe videos. Obviously the rental market is nuts, I'm wondering if you can spare a little time to show what the market looks like to purchase a beat up old house to buy and remodel or maybe wife could purchase some land and you lease it and build the home maybe prefab. Could be an interesting journey. God bless your family and remember the President just got Covid so lay low and stay safe.

[@michaelw9961]

I played this video backwards in slow motion and clearly heard the words "Paul is dead...coo--coo-cah-choo."

[@edwardannable5468]

This needs a good cleaning outside and inside use a power washer and a good coat of paint trees need to be trimmed and yard needs a good cleaning nice size rooms but some plumbing in the CR's and kitchen needs help but I think it doesn't meet American Standard but some Philippino may like it

[@bobarnold5992]

It has potential, needs clean up & some repairs but that is typical. Price is always negotiable as you know. Good luck.

[@krazycorw7561]

With a little work that wouldn’t be a bad spot

[@steven904]

Many home owners will clean/fix the propery after they get a security deposit. I would offer 20K a month, paint/clean the place myself and invest about about 2500 USD for aircon/appliances/handyman and that would be a great house.

[@kirkhupp8886]

Absolutely dreamy thank you.

[@davidbrodsky3953]

Nice rooms, and layout. BUT it's same that it was left in that condition.

[@nwced]

Nice to see. As soon as my wife and I can leave luzon and get there we will be looking for the same size house. I hear that you have to be careful about renting in a flood area. Is that really a problem there ?

[@thebigw3377]

Compared to Thailand the quality of houses you are showing is atrocious

[@PhilippineDreams]

I agree.

[@Shattered65]

I t not Thailand though. Thailand is not a "developing country" anymore it hasn't been one for many years. Yes up for n the Northern border regions there are areas that are a little primitive but Thailand is not far from the m catching up to the "first world" countries. The Philippines is still a developing country most of it can be difficult described as "third world" as a result you have to expect that in housing standards. Having said that I'm sure Ned would agree that rental prices in Dumaguete are artificially high due to the high numbers of westerners that live there and because it's a university town with lots of students renting their for attending school.

[@wonderlust1035]

You are RIGHT ...BUT the prices in Thailand are 50% less. I have a NEW 3 BR 2 bath modern home with large kitchen, dinning room living room & carport for 2 vehicles in a new development for $150/month including garbage take away and day/night guard and gated with large yard. PH is way, way over priced for what you get.

[@Shattered65]

@Uncle Ruckus Yes that's what I am saying, it's because it's a developing country so higher standard homes are expensive

[@StanHasselback]

@@wonderlust1035 I'm curious what city in Thailand do you live in if you don't mind me asking?

[@kensvlog4356]

The perfect house does not exist here stop looking ...do yourself a favor relieve the stress. I’ve been looking too... just can’t find it.

[@Adobo_City]

It’s a Nay! I do miss the orange,red and bright yellow colors.🤣

[@DavidBrown-jf6jk]

Nice place with bit of work it'd look fantastic question for you why don't you buy a place?

[@nevbillett7554]

What's the 10k a month rentals in Dumaguete area like or isn't there any?

[@PhilippineDreams]

My Pink House.

[@roustabout4fun]

Overall...you could make it a nice home....I would ask for a deduction in price as to fixing up to snuff.

[@daynevickers1079]

Thanks for the tour, Ned. This one would be perfect to help me sweat off the 15 pounds I've gained since the pandemic... oh, and great for my daily cold showers as well, lol.

[@q9920867]

Are they still called showers when you have to use the plastic scoop out of a bucket to wet yourself? ;)

[@photobudha]

...I love Philippines Homes ..you get 2 kitchens for the price of one (one half clean and one dirty) ,,great bargain .just needs a few million peso in TLC and its a real gem

[@philippinedawn4631]

You guys need to get a plan that excludes renting.

[@stephenwells9574]

that house rent should be no more than $250 a month

[@richardhowe5583]

"seek and ye shall find" "Patience is a virtue"

[@ajaydap-og473]

Its expensive for an old house and its dirty

[@Marissa880Livegood]

Own a house even if it is small enough for now...it is open for renovation little by little....$500 is a lot to do other things..self expenses and little help for others...just saying.. Unless you have lots and lots of money that $500 is nothing :) That gate can be build for less than $300 :) *peace*

[@philippuglisi5633]

No good lots of work needed or price dropped to 300

[@jdhsingi]

It seems that the owner of the place is trusting his local representatives to properly prep the house and they are failing miserably. Clearly they don't care. Next.........

[@mikemikie8312]

12 to 15 Peso house , if electrics and water are good will be a nice house for a couple ,yard and inside house just needs a clean up oh and some handles on cupboards lol .if the price was right its a good rental .

[@thomasstrider8965]

Lool@ 500 too exspensiv for That one

[@samuelmartin707]

Great Video bro!!!!

[@dougthethug2405]

I like the place. I would offer $375 and a long term lease.

[@wonderlust1035]

Ken ...I'm only comparing with what you've looked at previously AND the fact the value of the Pesos is very low and the economy stinks ...thus my humble opinion is: ...realistic, I'd offer the owner no more than 18,000 Pesos/month which is a fair price for you and for the owner given the economy and compared to other rentals. An "OK" house with potential but only after a new renter does a lot of work inside and outside .....he's asking way, way too much. Stay safe 'n blessings

[@richardhowe4140]

Of course they are crazy for asking that price 🙃🙃🤔🤔🙃🙃 Thanks for showing these houses because I really enjoy the way you give us a tour👌👍😂🤗🍺🍻😂🤗

[@buckeyeadventures1631]

The place was stripped... maybe offer 18k.. per month..

[@wonderlust1035]

That's what I say too

[@soeren72]

is there such a thing as rooster free ?

[@WengStansWorld]

my opinion....$500.00 a month is too much

[@texastourist1161]

Just pick one already, baby needs a crib 👶🏼

[@mrwonderful6271]

That’s a no go too much work to Be comfortable

[@MrRockinson]

Is that US Dollars? If so, I could live in a decent palace on the beach here in Noosa Australia ;-)

[@q9920867]

That's USD$500 per month, not per week ... for $710 pm you might get a 1970s caravan sitting in a back yard in Doonan.

[@MrRockinson]

@@q9920867 Hahahahaha nice. Well 500 a month is very good :-)

[@williamscott-ryan1538]

Very clinical property

[@sypainthy]

way to much for it

[@SherwinBajao]

Dang, your turning Filipino. Recessed lightings?

[@PhilippineDreams]

Hahahaha!

[@colinwoods5663]

You have to love Philippinos what you see is what you get lol. it will be unrented for years to come its a mess.

[@rcamacho66]

You need to buy your own place, or build your own place, stop throwing your money at rent, obviously your going to stay in the Philippines.

[@ziezcogslaw8643]

seems over priced to me

[@Rick101755]

25K LOL

[@terryfoss4845]

[@michaelfung694]

[@benfernkay8974]

YOU did say today is sunday and Oct 1 was on thursday , , that was a giveaway, hahah,,,,,,,I think the filipinos are thinking phils is USA,, They need to bring their prices DOWN !!!!!!,,,,, its not so much of supply and demand, foreigners need to stop saying YES to high prices ,,,,,i wonder if you were filipino, what the price would be ,,,, maybe they say 25k cuz you are KANO , hahahah, have a filipino looking for a house and see what happens, hahahaha

[@dannadecatoria3481]
