- Magic Mike's Last Apartment tour just outside of Cebu City, Philippines and close to his girlfriend's family. He shares his peaceful calmness now that he is done dancing around his crazy life in Europe.
Magic Mike is my dude 😎 keep filming with him 💪great show 👍
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.
Still a good deal for your Amigo . 8 years ago my ex Filipina fiancee could get the same for me 6000 pesos a month but I chose to stay in the hotel in Cebu 😊👍.
@@halfsquaredoubleinverse4014 you are a great man bro I can tell. Take care always.
@@halfsquaredoubleinverse4014 Only great guys are humble like you :) Your house looks nice. A subdivision with guard, so many rooms for that price in Cebu area - thats great! If you hear of such a bargain at your subdivision again, please let me know :)
@@i-am-your-conscience There is one for rent right now in my subdivision at 10000 pesos per month which is around 172 euros but it has only one bathroom instead of 2 like mine
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!
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,
Thats a nice cozy place for a very cheap price! Nice vid Tim & thanks to Magic Mike for showing us around😎
Great interview, such a nice gentleman. Awsome deal on home, although unfurnished but it worked for him.
Mabuhay
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.
Thanks Tim for posting and Mike for sharing, I like the idea of being close to Cebu city but somewhere quiet.
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.)
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.
thanks Arnel. Lots of people use my videos for research on what it is like here :)
Try to see Liloan sir
@@TimKyoutube Can you make a video and tell us more about the contracts? Why are they for such short periods, like a year or two? Isn't it possible to get a contract for longer with the possibility of getting out with a notice?
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.
This is just insane. After my divorce, I'll be homeless in the US, so I'm all about this.
In US its like 2k USD apartment right 😅. Here in Philippines $100 usd per month in province is already a decent apartment
@@RdozeTV 100$ with internet? how do you find them? only lamudi? thank you
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.
Hi, Tim just wanted to say your video today was one of the best I have seen. I am planning to retire to the islands in a couple of years' time and Magic Mike's lifestyle and honesty are how
I want to live out there.
Love seeing homes in the Cebu area, thanks for posting this Tim...Jim
Nice neighborhood and reasonably cheap compared to other cebu city apts. It's clearly affordable and kind of safe place with security guard.
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. 😀😀
I’m in Consolacion and rents are similar. As chaotic as it looks here I actually feel much safer here than the US as lately there are multiple gun mass murders daily. Though daily driving is an adventure. Nice job Mike. Enjoy your stay in Cebu !
I live in Yati Liloan. I felt safer than in the US, too. Maybe Filipinos have deep respect for harmless limping old man
We think the traffic in USA metro areas is bad, then we hear about taking an hour to go 2-3 blocks.
Its now abnormal here in the US ,if there are no mass shootings occurring .people have become immune and dont pay attention anymore to this crime . Unlike before ,we were glued to the TV for updates . Now ,its just another day in America !
Chris, I’m 69 and from the USA. I return once every year. Our home is being destroyed by the liberals. I don’t feel safe there at all. So sad!
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.
away from traffic and noise, but you haven't see dumaguete vlogs, there is HOARDS AND HOARDS of scandinavians europeans , but i recommend iloilo
Because Cebu has great health care ( outside metro manila ) compared to other provinces in the Philippines.
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.
@@Scythia1313 If you are buying you can always reach out to me. I don't get and don't want anything out of it but to be able to give you my experiences and you can take a look at my place and the price that i bought it at so you can compare other listings that you may be interested in.
Hey Mike 👋🏻 we met this past summer at Quest Hotel’s pool, happy to see you’re doing well. You lost some weight too, looking great man! Stay well 🙏🏻
Wow Tim, Looking amazing!!!!! keep up the good work.
woah 😳... great video! Congrats to Magic Mike for finding a quality space! I was a tad bit apprehensive based on the outside of the house and the door, but the interior was immaculate! I've been planning my retirement in Thailand, but I may have to reconsider. Thanks for the intel Tim!
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.
Awesome place thanks i enjoyed watching
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 😊. You can find properties like this in many parts of the world, it just depends who you know and word of mouth!
Roy what part of Santo Domingo was it?
@@rgasta7765 San Cristóbal
"Nice little apartment you've got there! Can't help but be nostalgic for the times when I wasn't throwing rooftop parties every weekend. Simplicity has its charm. All the best from someone who's seen it all in Asia!
Awesome video Tim
Buena Suerte mi Amigos ...ciao ..Spain is nice wants to go back one day ..
Hello Tim. Hiw different the world is. Thats what makes him beautiful. Despite all the difficulties. Have a good day Tim, Mike and family. Rudi.
Thank you so much for the website to find a home to rent! Really like the channel!
Thanks Tim
Good video. Great info
Cheers mike
Very nice guy! Informative! Thanks Tim!
Thanks Tim for promoting Cebu as a destination for affordable living for expats. Take care and stay safe.
great video! exactly the type of set up Im looking for.
Good job, great info...straight talk..
Thanks for sharing a very informative video.
Greetings from an Ameri-kano here in Beautiful Bicolandia. Quite an impressive layout for that price! Fond memories of living in Espana years ago.
Magic Mike is a practical man and seems to have adapted well.
Magic Mike is awesome!!!
Great value! 👍
Well done, it's quite a nice place to hang around close to Cebu City for such a cheap price.
This is fantastic !!! Thank you sir's. 🤩😁
Verry nice place !!! Well done !!!
I’m in Cebu city and that’s a rare find. That’s awesome!
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.
You can find also in minglanilla cebu.. 9k two br 1bath with garage.,
I would never pay rent in advance for a year for only a $4 discount. Who knows what will happen between now and the end of the year and you have limited recourse.
Exactly
Don't know about the Philippines, but in some nations the only option available for a foreigner (besides AirBNB) is to pay in advance for the length of their lease.
A 2.5% discount is a discount. If there are more pros than cons why not take the discount. It's one less thing to worry about.
I was thinking the same. No incentive for landlord to repair anything.
@@gavjlewis many reasons why. What if the house burns down or something else happens that makes it unlivable? In this case it's not such a big deal since we're talking about such a small amount of money, but in general it's a bad idea. When leasing a car, I'd also never put money down for similar reasons
Nice place, enjoy your stay in the Philippines
Nice apartment Magic Mike. Thank you for sharing a few moment's peek. I may afford to retire after all. And I just found the Low T med I've been looking for... Cold Shower? Who would have thought of that?
Wow just wow. Not bad living for only 150. The only thing I would want to know about is the crime/safety of the neighborhood.
Don't be pretentious or act better than your chosen community and you'll be a-ok. If you're an asset and a helpful member of your neighborhood then you'll be loved and welcomed.
It's pretty safe because he is in a gated community with security.
Lots of gun violence shooting here in major cities in America!
you need a fierce dog and baseball bat for home defense
It’s much safer here in PI than in the US. Retiring here is the plan
Awsome setup!
Wow! Good for you Tim, magic Mike showed his entire house!😆👍🇧🇭🇵🇭
I like the place in fact I've been living in Cebu in a Condo paying 16K but it's furnished. I'm on the 21st but I'm going to be moving into a cheaper place in August in Cavite around the same price that Magic Mike lives in. If you're in the area at the time I'll be happy to give a tour and an interview. Great video
Hi Tim, thanks. Do you feel unsafe needing the dogs and possibly a weapon? Or is it just for general family security? I'm 30 and will be moving to Leyte
dude craig why would you need that, leyte so far is safe i think , do you have a partner there or something? just be cool with the locals be friendly and be aware, and you will be fine, this is not texas and guns here are not allowed only military and police can have them, don't be afraid this is not usa that mass shooting is happening , i lived for a long time in leyte and nothing happens .
I like Mike's ideas. I live in Germany for 38 years and am widowed but making up my Mind to leave Europe is Hard due to presence of my Unica Hija and a Beautiful Granddaughter. How Iwish I will be strong enough to get out of Europe for a Month. I feel lke crying and my brain Points Germany as my Home when I am in Philippines. And when I am in Germany my Brain says I am a Filipina and should retire in Philippines. Oh my God, my Heart is divided into 2. Enjoy Guys and thanks for your Vlogs.
Magic Mike in DA HOUSE!!!!!!!
Nice one magic Mike! &Kudos tim k
great show
Wise choice and nice apt
Excellent
Wow… watching from Dubai.. 💕 We have 1 unit there in Hennavile and planning to rent it out soon as we have to furnished the kitchen area..
Hi! i love watching you guys vlog here in Palau. Keep it up!
Nice to see, very interesting 👍🏽😊
Watching from USA ❤❤❤❤……
Well done Mike..
Brilliant
Nice place , great price ...
Great show thank you Tim. Have a great day
Amazing rent deal, that’s what concerns me re moving to PI. So many islands to chose from also,all the best
Tim could you do a video on Green apple dental. It is located in the IT park in Cebu? I heard about Green apple dental here in the US
His apartment unit is actually pretty roomy compared to the cramped quarters I've seen some expats live in.
Awesome place
His electricity is probably more than his rent
If he runs the AC 24/7 about $200 at the most depending on the current cost. I was in madaue in 2020 rona lock down....I paid between 125-150. This apartment is a steal....my only concern is security. Sometimes security is in on break ins....
Our electric is 10,000 peso monthly in the province.
Tim, great video as always. How can we get a message to Magic Mike?
I like that. I live in Ho Chi Minh City and it is pretty cheap here, but not that cheap! 😎
Tim I did not hear you mention your german shepherd. Do you still have him?
Wow, that apartment for $150 a month is a steal. You can’t find deals better than that.
Nice place!!!
He seems a very shrewd person... It is imperative to understand the ropes in the Philippines 🇵🇭 before you engage in larger types of transactions
That's a pretty good setup of Mike's.
Good decesion for finding a not so expensive property to rent.
I think this is practical idea. At least you are content with safety it and comfortable..
Down to earth Magic Mike and his very simple living with his GF Grace in Cebu city. I stayed in a 4 star hotel in Cebu for one week last year in July and paid 50,000 Pesos.
It's worth exploring before signing a one year lease like Mike did. Thanks for sharing this info with all of us who are considering making Cebu as our destination.
Survey Cebu is top 3 many foreign li ve here
$887 for 1 week??
Nice Apartment for the money . My Florida water bill/electric cost almost the same. Muy Bueno...
GOD BLESS
Great bargain lovely apartment
Nice guy, magic Mike🏋🏻♀️🤟🏋🏻♀️
Liked and commented
I'll be in Cebu for all of March. Do you know of any good apartments for a month?
I am happy for Mike, he got a great deal :)
I'm on my way! Lol but for real I need a vacation and some new friends!
I'm in San Diego California and i pay 3,500 usd a month for a 3 bedroom 2 bath house i rent!!! Thats 42,000 usd a year just to rent and the damn beaches ⛱️ are Polluted because of Mexico's sewage problems..Definitely moving to the Philippines Islands 🏝 in 5 years to retire. Imagine paying 1,600 us for the whole year!!!!
How do I reach you to discuss rentals like this one in that area?
2/ How much month is his apartment Utilities, gas, electricity, Internet, etc?
Is all the refrigerator small
hi @Tim K how can I find something like this?
Our rental in Bogo City Cebu is about $150 a month but we are having a nice large house being built it will be a light Peach color. 3 large bedrooms.
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.
Bogo is too far from Cebu City. Better find a house inliloan, Danao,Compostela,Talisay.and in Minglanilla,Cebu
Nice
I live in Compostela just a few minutes up the road from him and I swear I just recently saw him 👀. He lives right next to City Hardware where I shop often. My wife even thinks she recognizes his girl from college.
Wow. That’s a lot for cheap. Good job 🎉
That guy was really cool and great deal
Timoy Invades! Harold Baldr would be proud!
Wow, I’m in complete shocked about this $150 rent. Good for Mike.
I am curious to where Hannibal, Cebu City?
