Thank you for the reply Synthia...
Wow, that blew a hole in a dream for us... We read about 100's of places for rent in various areas with the rent (pics included) being RM800 up to RM1500 that look nice. Deceptive advertising? Basically what we are looking for is a way to form a budget. I am very interested in getting out of the Philippines and just started looking. Any advise you could offer would be apprecaited.... Best Regards, Brian
