housing very cheap in Davao, they have  built so many subdivisions they cannot sell them like they use to, they are  now  renting new homes, they are  small 2 bed 1 cr P4,000 but  you have to make a contract for  a  year, they are  at  the  edge of Davao city in Mintal but  close  to everything you need

Okieboy,  Are you saying these places are being rented out for $97 USD a month? What sort of conditions are we talking about? Ive been wanting to leave the US to live a more modest life in the philippines but I only have a monthly budget of $1500 USD a month. Im told getting a job in the philippines is not the easiest of things so I can rely on that. I also have significant savings but would rather have that for emergency. In your opinion how well can I live of the $1500 a month?

these are new  house paved streets water and  electric, sewer already there, they are  close together but  nice  small 2 bed 1 bath P4,000 but  you can find  cheaper if  your  looking for an apartment, you can live  good  on $1500 in Davao i live  in the  Provience about 25K i have  a  budget of $1,000 i have  Air  Cond, Internet Phone, the  food  is  cheap if  you eat  local, it  depends  on your  life style, i tell those who ask about cost  of  living, if  you can live  on your  income  in your  country you can live  here better

Thanks for the help. I keep telling everyone Ill have about $1500 but Im looking at closer to a $2000 budget to be safe. Sounds like I need to check out Davao in the comming months.
