Thank you for the compliment Harry. But I don´t think I´m any magic. Tim is the real and true MAGIC man here. And I have to say, after spending one wonderful day with him, I am the very lucky guy who had the honor to talk for the day with him, never though that in person would exceed my expectations so much, such a honorable man, serious, professional, sometimes so funny and laughed so hard with him... and one of a kind guy. We talked about lots of things, we disagreed in some and it was such a pleasure to see his pov´s in so many aspects; certainly is a very wise man and I hope to see him again around soon. All the best.

This apartment tour is a breath of fresh air! Mike's laid-back and calming presence shines through as he shares his new home just outside of Cebu City. It's inspiring to see someone prioritize their well-being and embrace a simpler way of life. Kudos to Mike for sharing his journey and spreading positivity!
Thats a nice cozy place for a very cheap price! Nice vid Tim & thanks to Magic Mike for showing us around😎
That's actually a really nice apartment for the price. I don't think you can find one that nice for $150 here in Saigon.

i been in saigon and some houses in saigpn are bungalows, and or flat area with roof in it, i like saigon it is inexpensive but for amenities and stuffs i prefer philippines,
Incredible neighborhood. Just from what little I saw outside. It was clean and no traffic. I thought it was only going to be the downstairs part when I saw the price. For that price, you could spend the weekends in Cebu City, or farther up north on a beach.
Great interview, such a nice gentleman. Awsome deal on home, although unfurnished but it worked for him. Mabuhay
Thanks Tim for posting and Mike for sharing, I like the idea of being close to Cebu city but somewhere quiet.
Hi, Tim.. after watching lots of your videos i was prompted to subscribe. I'm a filipino living in canada with my family and will be retiring this year. Your videos help me decide where to go when that day comes. Be safe and take care of Chrissy and Dale.

This is AWESOME!!!! I LOVE IT!!! A place like this in the US could easily cost $2500/mo (i.e. 140,000 pesos per month vs 8,000 in Cebu.)
Wow that's such a great price. For a couple that's plenty of space and looks really comfortable. It's great to know that you can still find nice homes for a reasonable price in the Philippines, I've seen other vids where agents are obviously targeting foreign retirees and the prices are crazy expensive.
living here in cebu city too at the ultima residences connected to crown regency. Its a nice condo, friendly security and staff. Easy to get around and everything is near. Condo was turned into a modern unit with western amenities. I have been here for 18 months now. Love it here. Thanks for the video as i enjoy watching what others are doing as well.

Wow, what a bargain! It is quite spacious for that price and something like that would be ideal as a place to stay while building one’s own house. Tim thanks for showing this.
US$150 monthly rental is indeed inexpensive for such a good apartment. Here in Lucena City, for an almost comparable apartment, I am paying about US$220 a month, which is also a good deal if you ask me. 😀😀
Nice place and so cool as I'm going to be visiting Cebu this fall with a Buddy whose married to a Filipina and after several years of asking I'm going to check it out. Impressed that these guys support each other and Grace seems like a very nice lady, and Mike wants to make her happy and he got a good deal in moving closer to her family.
Magic Mike's place is nice and affordable. I'm surprised why many foreigners mostly from Europe and North America love to live in Cebu, PH.

About 10 years ago I was living in Dominican Republic, paying just $70 a month for a detached single floor 2 bedroom house, with integral garage, nice front porch sitting area and garden in a town near Santo Domingo, my Dominican girlfriend at the time found it as it was her home town and knew the local community, we lived there for a year, good memories 😊.

It's not rare. Home rentals outside the quad-cities of Cebu City, Mandaue, Talisay and Lapu-Lapu are naturally cheaper. The farther you are from these 4 cities, the cheaper the rental gets, yet you're still in Cebu with access to everything you need for a comfortable living and lifestyle which every now and then.

That's true. The farther you get from the urban core of Metro Cebu area, the cheaper the rental gets. Yet, you're still in Cebu. Cebu has lots of rural towns which are quite beautiful, peaceful and cheap to live yet you're just a few minutes to few hours drive to the life's modern convenience in Cebu City. One needs not live on a remote province or island outside Cebu just to live on a budget. You don't need to sacrifice your life's cravings and personal tastes just to live the life you want by living in a place so remote devoid of many modern comforts. Cebu has lots of unspoilt natural attractions outside these 4 core cities like the lush scenic mountains with lots of blue waterfalls, cold springs, streams, rivers, white sandy beaches all over for you to enjoy in such a serene environment.

You can find some great deals if you look hard enough, and are tenacious enough! I was living in Mindanao in a 2br apartment for 7k/month (50php for water). But his is MUCH nicer! and about twice as big jeez.
