Housing in Davao does two jobs at once: it's where you live, and it's the paperwork foundation your entire residency stands on — the lease or title behind your TIN, bank account and tax registration. Prices make both jobs easy: comfortable furnished rentals from around $350 a month, owned condos with real titles from around $80,000. Start with the honest numbers.
