Anyone planning to live in the Phils one day?

[triple5]

niether you should have as little involvment as possible if your girlfriend/wife can do it all it will be cheaper in any case if thats not possible the cheapest versions will be known by expats living there im not sure what your plan is time wise 5000 a month might get you a 2bed row house unfurnished depending on supply and demand but dont count on it unless jim knows specifics count on having to stay in hotel guest house while you look tour areas in a cab it took me 18 days of focused looking in cebu and my then lady was very good in communication skills so I xcould talk about criterior no one had any idea about room sizes it wont say in the adds

in the phils people put signs out if you see something you like in an area you like get a native speaker to phone and inquire

once your seen befor prices are known whity tax will be added

just seen your there for two months unless you have a firm offer befor you go you would have to be a favouritte of the gods to get what your looking for

Please dont base your budjet on those figuers if you found somthing for 15000 you will be lucky i will make enquireys but it will be a week at least befor im back remind me

Really? Whys that because its peak season? Already found a little pad for 7k a month, but its a bit far from downtown. Not sure my budget will stretch to over 15k a month

No thats great if you found one already I just remember how long and how frustrating it can be but you are clearly loved by the gods and well done please post details about the propert and how and where you found it ?

I got this just now from a brit living in Davao

Hi Keith,
For low cost he could try www.elriopad.weebly.com they have small studios available,and onsight caretaker.
Only 10 mins ride to Victoria Mall Shopping centre,which is handy as the BOI office is opposite the Mall,handy if extensions needed.
City centre is about 15 mins ride away.

I've never stayed there personally,so can't tell you anything more about the place.
He needs to get booked in as soon as possible,cheap monthly rentals are not easy to come by in Davao City.
