He Rented a Beachfront House for $200/Mo (Utilities INCLUDED!)

Can you still retire on a beach for next to nothing? In this video, we go back to a beachfront property in Roxas City that has completely transformed over the last two years! Meet John, a Canadian expat who managed to lock down an incredible beachfront rental for just 13,000 PHP ($200 USD) a month—with electricity and utilities INCLUDED! Instead of moving into an expensive, modern concrete house that traps heat like an "Easy-Bake oven," John used traditional Filipino building materials (Nipa and bamboo architecture) and native engineering to build an open-air tropical paradise with perfect airflow. We’re breaking down the exact renovation costs, how he found this hidden gem on Facebook, and why investing money into a rental property can completely change your quality of life abroad. If you are looking to move or retire to the Philippines, don't just take what's available—learn how to look for opportunities to make a place truly your own. I created a FREE Website to help people figure out where the best places to live in the Philippines are for their personality, as well a resource guide where to get everything you need before making the move to the Philippines.
