😎👍🇺🇲 When you subtract the utilities. The rent is about 700 because normally you'd pay the rest separate. I think I've seen this place before. Central hot water is very unusual and cool. Nice place for the higher budget peeps. 👍
Great video! Sharing this type of video so viewers like myself can see the potential possibilities is awesome. Ali is most defiantly very happy by watching. I'm happy for him and his wife. The owner of the building did a great job!
Awesome video !! As was the interview with Ali two of the best videos I've seen in a long time. I'm happy for him and his wife living in luxury and happy!
I can definitely see living here it’s not bad with everything included . I like seeing the nicer places available for those who don’t have to budget their retirement
Great apartment and tour! Ali looks quite happy. In your past videos, he mentioned working in sales at a car dealership. He deserves this now. He is past all those 12 hours and 6 days a week workdays.
Thanks for sharing this and for bringing us to Ali’s home. Beautiful place! I actually could feel the calmness in there. I really appreciate getting another perspective! Peace ☮️
Thank you for posting this. Thailand has a plethora of condos that are fully furnished and very nice. I have been waiting for more insight on what is available in Philippines.
Very nice Ollie is a likable guy! And that reminds me to put a grease trap, and the hidden lighting in my humble abode in the ceiling! I hope we can have a beer sometime at the little castle😀🌴🌴🍺
It's worth what people will pay. He is willing to pay. You or I might not think there is value in the apartment, but he and his wife do. I don't see value in watching the Kardashians on tv, but many do and can't imagine why people watch that crap. He said he watched it being built and told his wife he wanted to live there one day. "Veni, vidi, vici"
How much do you think it should cost? From what Paul and his friend are saying the place is definitely higher quality than others they've seen renting for $200-500/month.
My Girlfriend pays 16,250php($283US) for rent,WiFi,electric and water. 2 bedroom 1 bath with covered parking in a guard gated neighborhood in Manila(Caloocan City)
@@bigbearhugebear9018 Good question. She seems to have plenty of room for hosting her church greeters(15 woman) and other friend events. The bedrooms are very good size and house the bed and a dresser/closet for clothes.
Paul, that condo looks amazing for $950 per month - and a great deal for all the amenities included! Where I live, this much space would cost me at least two times as much, plus I would have to pay utilities! BTW: I'm a long time viewer and new subscriber to your channel, and will be watching much more! Kudos!
I find this to be a problem which causes a bigger problem for foreigners in the near future. This gentlemen just compared pricing with a property in California. As many RUclipsrs point out you should always realize that you are In a Philippine Market using Pesos and should not compare it to the country you came from. What this gentleman should understand is when you are living in California we are talking about clean water out of your faucet, hot water, regulated electrical grid that does not go down, constant internet, great roads, traffic lights, cultural events, sporting events, fine dining and many other items that come with living in a country like the Unites States. I am not saying this is a bad unit. I m just saying do a better evaluation when you are doing a comparison. What we are doing here is inflating the prices here in the Philippines and we are doing it to ourselves.
Glad your showing this and hope more upscale paces like this will show up for the channel. Thats a heckuva window if you can see the sunrise and sunset from the same window. I am scratching my head a bit on that one. 🙂
It's probably a south facing window and he can't literally see the sun . Sunrise and sunset are horizon events. Fairly easy to see both. You do need to be awake though. 🙂
Don't forget that this is VERY expensive for the Philippines. Most lawyers barely make 950 $ per month there. The cabinets in the kitchen have a 70's touch to them. I can find much cheaper flats like it in Europe, like rural Italy, for example. Including all electricity it looks a bit better.... 😊
I was in Valencia last month, near the gas and go. ( bilabag east) my family rents a great 2 bedroom for 550/ month . Nice place for this is. Thanks for the tour!
I also like living in comfort when im there, hes got it , Roughing it doesnt work for me in the philippines because of the heat, humidity , bugs insects. Ive rented both there Great find.
This is the best apartment I've seen. I really like the large size with plenty of leftover room in the kitchen and living room areas. Efficient A/C's and heated water throughout. I'd like to know what square meters area this place has for comparison and how he was able to find this place.
Wow that's 55000p a month. I came here to spend less not equal too or more. My last apartment in the US 2 years ago was 750. Dollars a month 1 bedroom with pool. In Philippines that could buy you a really nice place 3bd 3 bath but don't need to spend so much.
Yes but fully furnished and no utility cost. Since they never insulate the costs for running air conditioning in the whole house like this can be $250 month. Free parking another $100 month, no LP cost so actually you're at $600 for fully furnished.
I wanted to call that out but everyone usually just wants to praise. Save this video. It will be the touchstone for the gentrification and price gouge to follow.
@@PMLynch and philippines has chinese and Koreans IF I were a young man again I'd marry a Thai woman , have a child And after 1 year you can naturalize (3 years if married and no child) Ergo no problems with land ownership and visa runs
@@joebidet2050you clearly haven't dated many Thai women. Their culture is extremely centered on money and gold whereas Filipina women i found to be the exact opposite
If you're paying that amount my opinion is just build a house (Nice place) but not too practical . Build a house with a nice man cave and a place to relax on an outside porch for a fraction of this cost. Also men moving over here paying this price is just driving up the market on other properties I wish everyone well thanks for sharing
Reviewing this video, a couple of things: I am a long-time homeowner in the Southwest US (NOT Nevada nor New Mexico) and my mortgage payment is LESS THEN $800.00 and almost paid of (less then 2 yrs). My home is all remodeled (recessed lightening, new flooring, new bathrooms, kitchen, fixtures, new kitchen, new double-pane windows and new roof replaced about 1 yr ago etc) and I DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE IN A THIRD-WORLD COUNRTY. Your friend mentioned Sacramento, his friend must have moved to Sacramento recently because I lived/worked in the Bay Area, renting a room with the landlord in a single family home in a very desirable home in Silicon Valley(Way more desirable and of course more expensive than Sacramento which is about 2 hrs from the Bay Area) for more than 20+ years, while I kept my house in the Bay Area and paid my Mortgage and once I was able to work remotely (About 3 years ago, moved back into my own home which was always fully furnished, never rented out because I knew it would only be a matter of time before local stupid would damage my house.) So, when I was able to move back full-time into my own house, it was clean, fully remodeled and I live comfortably.
I am paying only 7000 pesos a month rent for a 2 bedroom new house. Here in Davao in a sub-division with swimming pools and basket ball courts. Wasting money is stupid. Everything in the house we own ourselves.
Great video. Nice price with so much included. In SF that would be $4000. This is more what I’d be interested in if I wasn’t a SE Asian slow traveler. Ali is great guy. So many many choices in SE Asia. This is one
I thought the expensive condos and apartments were only in Cebu and Manilla! 😲 Nice big place! 👍 If Ali can afford it, and he’s happy there, I wish him the best. Thanks for showing how the upper crust lives, Paul 😉 😂🤣
Well I'm paying $2,100 a month just for rent here in California for 1 bedroom condo and his place is way nicer for $950! I guess it's time for me to retire in the Phil's! LOL
Yeah, but the Filipinos you deal with there are your neighbors and the community around you. In a place like this, the only Filipinos you have to deal with call you "Sir" and are "the help". 😮
This apartment is much nicer than that ex Pensive cheap apartment. This is a western standard and quiet with the double pane windows and all that air conditioning with electricity included. That is true comfort.
Boy!! Ali is such lovely guy Paul .....I only wish him the very best!!🙏🙏
Ali is the man! Thanks for sending good vibes his way!

That is what I charge for my 2 bed 2 bath condo in Phoenix. Yes I am about 300 below market value, but I want my renters to stay for a long time.
i think the people are taking advantate of outsiders no place there will cost that much
It's worth what people will pay. He is willing to pay. You or I might not think there is value in the apartment, but he and his wife do.
