    Just a simple tip. Ask about the electricity bill. Electricity is high here, especially in condos. Depending on the building, depending on the appliances, you could be paying upwards of $500 a month on just the electric bill but some buildings would only charge you half of that. Also, ask about the internet, most buildings will have an exclusive contract with a provider, meaning you would not be able to install any other internet provider service aside from the one preferred.

    Hi! Happy to see you last Jan 5 at Shangri La, a day before we had to fly back home to NZ! Funny when we took a selfie at the lobby, my 5 year old little boy was not on the photo because he was too short to be in it! WHAT a SHAME! He was upset about it all day! After realising my son was not on the photo, a part of me wanted to go back and search for you. But... what I also realised that would be creepy! hahaha! No one was not winning that day. TRUST ME! We had a million and one regrets following that unexpected encounter! I wish we had time to talk to you and take a lot of photos. We just hope to see you again when come back to the Philippines! Good luck on your condo hunting journey!

    So two possible reasons why the owners are still slow after the holidays. The first reason could be that it’s the Philippines and things are always slower. You get used to being more relaxed about things but it’s annoying for expats in the beginning. The second reason is that they are probably waiting for a better offer. Either way, you’re smart to look at multiple places. Like I said before it’s not what you know it’s who you know so if you know anyone who you trust it will be helpful. God bless and good luck!

    200k/mo is sooo much, but its bgc, 180sqm and one mckinley is high end, hence reasonable

    I know that it's easy for me to say; I am not in your situation. I pray you find a place that will make your family very happy and satisfied. But the old adage; all good things come to those who are patient really applies here. And because your family seems to be patient, and resilient, I believe you will find the perfect place in time. Thank you for showing an old man places that might have been. Very much enjoy watching your videos.

    TIP: Ask if they charge for electricity in the common areas -- especially if the common areas are air-conditioned. If they do, it's gonna cost you an arm and a leg.

    Thanks for sharing! This has been enlightening in terms of possibilities and price ranges. Husband and I are currently on the same journey trying to find a place in the area. We’ve looked at over 7 condos and 7 houses and nothing feels right just yet. Starting to feel like we need to settle/adjust either perspective or price range . We’re from Texas and struggling with the major differences in layouts and prices lol. Our western preferences have the high price tag there 😂. Wish us luck and maybe we’ll see you guys around bgc!

    • @livethephilippines

    Holy crap $6800/mo for rent, that’s more than a mortgage back here in the States, and I live in California 😂

  • @Movetophil
    @Movetophil 9 месяцев назад +1

    Do some "dummy" checks at the buildings around to see what's the amenities and entertainment around the area are. Try to check smaller condos also.. some newer and smaller can be better than older and bigger.. ok, not so much old buildings in BGC, but some years can differ the quality a lot.
    My take was, bigger is more expensive.. and if the amenities are better then you not stay home a lot anyway...
    And as you see, some are horrible to furnish. But you still pay for the waste of space.

    Colt's such an expert in catching those 🦎🦎🦎. Btw, did you guys ever get to see the Nigel Marven special I recommended before ("Wild Philippines")? Hope you did. It was an awesome documentary. Showed a lot of great places here too. :)

  • @amaliahightower

    The 1st condo unit is old and beat up. Good luck on renting it for 200k + 😂 It’s way too expensive! They’re gonna have to do a major remodel and change all the appliances especially the itty bitty range 😂 which looks ridiculously ugly. Now the 2nd condo unit is the bomb however way too expensive for 300k. Too bad you can’t just buy an empty lot and build a home that you would architecturally design to your likings. The Ocampos can buy 2 empty lots because he’s Filipino and he should just lease you the other lot 😂. I’m Fil/Am and bought an empty lot for way cheaper price. Designed my entire home and bought top of the line materials, furnitures and appliances. I live in a gated village with 24 hour security. There’s a gym, function rooms and swimming pools in different locations.

    Family, I feel exhausted watching these kind of episodes in your vlogs and especially for the kids. May I remind you that whatever your budget is for the apartment, you have to consider also that while you are in the Philippines, the expenditures will be much less, including food, transportation, etc. As a Balikbayan tourist, I usually stay at the BGC, including Shangrila but when i take a cab going to Makati for better luxury shopping, I can only spend less than 5 bucks . There are other places outside BGC to dine with better food and lower prices. Good luck and Happy New Year! # NYC🇺🇸 #Cebu🇵🇭
