Firstly, thank you for sharing your knowledge because its difficult to get up-to-date prices. Your home is beautiful, I don't think you paid too much. As you said, time was important. When you are spending that type of money you want quality and I think you achieved that.
Yep yep just finished 70 sq. meter bamboo house with full electrical and "plumbing" (out to the septic) for $2k U.S. Sounds great right? Nooooo! Now we need to build $10k fence to keep out the moochy neighbors!
I appreciate these videos! My filipina and I are looking to develop a property next year. Did your 1.8 million pesos include all the engineering work as well?
It's not about ownership but use. If you spend $35k to build the house, then after 6 years, you become rent free based on if your rental budget is $500 a month. The house and lot also can go to your local kids in the future, anyway. So ownership isn't an issue unless you think splitsville. If that happens, have some legal agreement to protect yourself. Maybe the house and lot gets sold and some equitable division of the proceeds can be prearranged.
Great video as always, thank you

Love the half/half..concrete/amakan with hardy flex interior 😊
Yes, they look nice. But I think you have to replace the Amacan after a few years
Thank you for your videos I'm wondering,..? Did your builder use a machine for the foundation or was it done by hand ???
On our house? The foundation was done by hand. Only for the concrete, they used a machine.

Yes. Please also watch my video about the Final Cost of building a house in PH: ruclips.net/video/_hRlOlFpbQE/видео.html
I would like to talk to you 🙏🏽✌️
I have interest in the Philippines 🇵🇭
As a foreigner here , why the hell anybody would buy a house here is beyond me! You will never own it
Not, if you are alone. But if you are married with a local, why not? Please see my other video on this topic: ruclips.net/video/iZcv7Drzuqg/видео.html
If he stays in the home for just 5 years. It would be like $516 USD per month. Then at least someone owns it. That is just 60 months of payments.
@@livinginthephilippines359 when your married with a local you still don't own it, only if she passed away then you can fully own it

@@zibomacadangdang9875 so if I'm paying a house of it's not about ownership? Well I'm glad someone has told me this! I thought it was about ownership
