Sorry to say so but $500 won't get you much. Real estate in Yangon is not much cheaper than that in New York. I rented out two two bd apartments at $4500 each this year.

^ Agreed

You would need to be willing to supplement the rental costs out of your own pocket to get anything reasonable for an expat rental without sharing with others.
$500 might get you a basic local flat - you would need to do some extensive groundwork though.

Consider asking for a bigger allowance from your employer.

Hi Tpm,
If you are looking someone to share, maybe we can rent a share flat in Yangon together.
As 500USD really not much choice.

Hi
Just wanted to post an update. Found a decent fully furnished one bed apartment around Yaw Min  Gyi for 650 USD. I have hot water, air conditioing and am on the 2nd floor. They are out there. You just need a bit of luck.

Hi. I'm coming to Yangon on November 21, working near Thawanna stadium. I would welcome any suggestions I can get about accommodations.

BTW - great to hear that the elections seemed to go well.

Hello everyone,

@ Johndrader, you can also browse through the Housing in Myanmar section of the website, have a look at the adverts or even drop your own 'looking for" advert.

Best of luck,
Bhavna

Thanks Bhavna. I will be looking through the housing ads and using Google Earth to check proximity of housing to my workplace. It's difficult to do before I arrive because I don't know what the neighbourhoods are like.

Hi, If anyone (foreigner) is interested to work as a part time or full time of teaching job, please contact on below number.

Good morning!
Hi all,

But about 10 ears I have not been to Myanmar.
Any good jobs available.

Hi,I am an experienced English Language trainer currently seeking employment in Yangon. I hold a TEFL and I am a native speeker with a nautral accent.If you know of any suitable positions please contact me .Paul Mitchell      ***

Hello!

I am considering moving to Myanmar for a new job.

I wonder if is it easy to find a nice house with garden? It seems most people and adds talk about apartments or 'condos'.

If there are houses available, what is the price range for a house with 1 or 2 bedrooms  (or 3 if most houses are big, like here in central africa) and a nice garden (which is the most important part for us)?

Furnished or unfurnished?
In central areas or less central areas?

Thank you so much, for even a quick response.

Hello, I have one basic house in myanmar plaza, somebody want to share the appartamen with me for 400 $ until february

Hi Tpm,

I'm moving to Yangon to start a job in August. It's really tricky finding one bedroom flats! Do you mind if I ask you how you found yours? The rents are astronomical !

Thanks ever so much.
Liz

HI Liz,

it depends on the area that you need. within city area its ranging from USD.600 to 1500.
however, in some areas you can get even for 400.

if you are interested I can pass a contact of an agent.
