Hello to all of you, this is my first time posting on DR1, although I have been reading your posts for a cpl of years now and have found alot of helpful threads on here, I never really felt the need to post myself.

Anyways, Im a Canadian living in Santiago and was told last week that I will be out of a place to live in 2 months (landlord selling house for who knows what). I was wondering if anyone had any leads on a small,decent house for rent in any part of santiago within the $3000 - $6000 peso a month budget range?? or any good websites that havent been mentioned on here b4?

Thanks for your help and hope to be posting on here a bit more in the future now that I've introduced myself

-CHEERS!

Hey, Santiagoguy! I will ask my friend Patricio and see what he says, he is in Real Estate. Good Luck!
Don't hide anymore....we here in Santiago are good people!!!

doesn anyone actually rent a house for that price range you are looking for? that seems to small a payment for a whole house....even an apartment? though i may be wrong...i am not familiar with the Santiago region or what real estate/rentals go for these days...

yes Jalen, in Santiago u can find houses for rent anywhere from $2000 pesos up. Where I am now ( Urbanizacion Real) Im renting a 3 bedroom home for $5000 pesos a month. unfortunately the owner wants to sell n leave me out.

I haven't seen anything for under 9,000 in a long time, of course I haven't bothered looking in crackhead neighborhoods.

thats amazing someone would rent out a HOUSE for $2000RD? ive never heard of rent so low on a home. it makes more sense to rent a full house than rent an apartment then if you are in the Santiago area. good luck finding something. does dr1 have any rentals posted in the santiago area?
i am sure a few users here can suggest somewhere or someone to talk to

Hey Mr.Mike ..you're hilarious...ppl like u r the reason I dont usually bother posting on sites like this. Seriously, u offered no help or insight into my issue, all u did was make a stupid comment out of the blue for a lil extra attn!!

Patricio knows someone who has a house for rent in Bella Vista for 5,000RD per month. I have a friend in Bella Vista and have caught the concho there several times and have not seen anything crazy but it has always been between the hours of 10am-1pm. Patricio says that it is not an upscale neighborhood of course and you might have a problem with noise at night, seeing as the majority of people that live there are poor. But if you would like PM me and I can give you his information so that he can show you the house. It is 2 stories but he did not tell me how many bedrooms.
Other than that, he says for that price the only thing that you could do is take care of someones house for them (someone out of the country) and they may pay you 2,000RD-3,000RD per month while you live there but at any time you could be in this predicament again, if they sell the house or even rent it out.

Actually, I think I told you that 9,000 was the lowest price I'd seen on a rental property in Santiago recently and also if you think about my post for 30 seconds you would understand that to get into your price range you should start looking in areas where crack-heads are known to hang out. (Bella Vista, Pueblo Nuevo, Cienfuegos, etc.)

I'm sorry I don't have a 2,000 peso apartment for you but hey, I don't think anyone else does either.
