Did you report the activity to Budget's Corporate office? Not sure if Budget employees are in on the theft rings or if people are just able to lock on to the tracker.

If you plan to move to Maine, please go to Cumberland County and South, which we consider Massachusetts! Other than that, you really. are not welcome coming to change how we live and bringing your baggage with you, we really don't like people from away! You will not fit in with people from Maine, only with other intruders. Please don't come!!!

Thanks for the video. My wife and I moving back home to Ellsworth in March for recruiting duty in Bangor. It's been 18 years since I lived in Maine (thanks Navy). This answered a lot of questions, especially the VA loan portion. Much appreciated.

i have gas heat north of boston its 350$ a month Nov - march

You are pretty much spot on since this was posted 2 yrs ago! I'm in NC where I grew up, I'm a retired Over the Road Truck Driver and I can't tell how many trips I made to Maine. I love the area, it has just about the same roual areas as NC. Last year we bought a big house in York County and we bought from a home owner but still had to pay a real estate agent $1800 separate. We had one inspection and passed then the guy moved all of his stuff out and because we have our grand kids, the state wanted another inspection and they found a problem with the back wall in the basement which costs us $7100 then we found out the owner we bought it from gave the contractor $1000 to help us with the expense. All is finally good now, we definitely learned some lessons in this buy! We'll be in our new home Sept of '24 then our life begins in Maine!! Thanks for posting this video, like I said earlier it's still spot on 2yrs later!!

Good info; thank you brother..

Thanks Frank. I'm a veteran looking to move in the next 6-12 months. Originally from MA. I will probably live in an apt at first but the goal is to buy pretty quickly. I'm finishing up a degree in forestry in May of 2025 and hoping to find work up there. Got any thoughts/connections on the industry up there? Best, Cam!

The gang of people following you are employed by the very people that employed you previously - the U.S. military (and associated agencies like Homeland Security, etc). And there's no way to really escape them - too many people, drones, satellites, etc to track your every move.

So helpful! Many thanks.

Is the tracker still a thing? I see the video is 3 years old. About to make a move myself.

This is a GREAT video. I’m headed to rent a machine now and I am going to try everything stated in this video. I feel like I’ll have excellent results.

Maine is terrible, 10 months of winter and 2 months of losing gallons of bodily fluids to bloodsucking bugs. Native Mainers will hate you. It would be much better to move to Tennessee.

I've watched a few of your videos as we are researching moving to Maine from Washington State; I've enjoyed hearing what you have to say from a resident standpoint, not just info about what to do as a tourist. House prices in Maine are more reasonable than where we currently live, especially if someone doesn't mind taking on some projects, and I look at Zillow often. Our move won't happen soon, but we're doing our research; and the market is always changing, so who knows, I'm staying hopeful. I did have a question and I wondered if you could answer it, maybe in a video or not: I notice that fences are not common on properties in Maine; is there a reason for that? I understand the low crime rate and maybe people don't feel a need, but is there another reason people don't have fences around their homes? Just curious if you had any idea why that is. I have more questions that I haven't found answers to in other people's videos; if you're looking for more content for a video I'm interested in your answers, but I'll start with that. Thanks! 🙂

Thank you for sharing your information. Disgusting that people do this - ugh!

I cant comprehend about the instruction "never open the window until the carpet dry", I thought by opening the window actually help the carpet dry faster during the dry summer

Hey brother come back teaching us about Maine

Great info, thanks! Any recommendation on which cleaning solution works better?

What carpet cleaning solution do you recommend?

He wrote it himself

Hello Frank! I'm glad I found your channel. I'm a nurse from Philippines and I have a job offer in Dover Foxcroft, Maine. Currently looking for more information about moving to Maine.

what's your thoughts on Knox county?

So glad i saw this first! Thanks!

Large houses do seem pricey for sure up in Maine, but a small two bedroom does not too bad. It is those other costs, heating, etc. that seem expensive :/

Been to Maine few times, work and vacation. Would love to retire there but not sure we have enough saved up, suspect we will need to continue to work. Agree on the Toyota recommendation, not so in love with boxer engines in Subies.

so the unit doesn't HEAT up the water to make it even hotter? so it's not as hot as a steam cleaner? do you know if any steam machine rentals i can use on carpet (i heard the eagle heats up to 300*F so too hot for carpet).

BUY LAND UP NORTH while you still can!!

NEVER ADJUSTED ONLY FIXED ‼️

Roving gangs of rice burners with the technology to track the LoJack on your rental truck so they can steal your kitchen table, bed, headboard, couch!?!?!? Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound?

I love your video. Very up front. Do you know about Caribou? Is it a nice area ?

That’s so sad. Right when it seems like I’ve saved up enough, the market gets higher. Doesn’t look like I’m moving to Maine. Thanks for the heads up.

12/12/23, just found your channel. I retired and moved to Maine (2 hours directly west of you) in Oct. 2021 from Phoenix. I bought a 3 season cabin and raced to "winterize" it for my first winter. 3 electric/oil heaters got me through, but I needed more, so I installed a propane wall heater. I'm old and wanted something with no work required (like a wood stove would need) and didn't require electricity (due to all the power outages here). The propane heater tried to kill me twice with leaks. So, I will be installing a pellet stove for next winter. I can still manage 40 pound bags. I have 400ah of LiFePo4 battlers from a van conversion that didn't happen, so, I'll have power to run the motors in the stove when the power goes out. I miss the warm weather in Arizona, but in a power failure and it's 118F, there's no way to keep cool. At least here, you are your own heater. Simply put on a lot of layers to keep warm. It's nice to be away from all the crime I experienced in Phoenix, and "the middle of nowhere" is a great place to be when peace and quiet are priorities. Subbed.

Amazon is the Devil!!!!! Don't use them or support them, they will buy your home and leave your children slaves.

Im trying to get away from politics

I really admire you. Your values and opinions are so similar to mine.

I am looking to stay away from the Tourist thing and the ON THE RUN from Expensive Cities crowd….i come from a State that is destroyed by Californians with lots of Money….seems like even Internationally…2 billion humans are scrambling to find a comfortable Hole to crawl into….the 60 to 80 year olds….people trying to Retire before 50….Digital Nomads….so it is very difficult to Find ….what you could easily encounter in the 1970s…people have a load of Money and they are Mobile…independently wealthy….FOR NOW….until the stock market Crashes or the Climate Collapses….it is a very Crowded World….Presently….but….that could Change.

Whats the job market like for a tradesman (electrician)

i would pay cash.

Why should we not open window till carpet is dry. Is it because of dust.?

Why home prices all of a sudden are so high: Stock market has not been doing well lately, so investment companies with cash are buying all the lowest price houses that are livable. That is what is happening here on Cape Cod and many places around the country. It seems they’re trying to turn this into a renting country to profit from. This could be a huge bubble waiting to burst. Do you know if that is what’s driving prices up in Maine also? Hi Frank. Watched some of your vids because I thought about moving back to ME. Lived at Sugarloaf and Rangeley for many years, then went a little south, now on Cape Cod. Retired now so work is not a concern. Rangeley is too cold for my wife so thinking the area south of Bath and Wiscasset, down one of the peninsulas, maybe a small farm. Congratulations with your book. I appreciate people with an interest in the arts being a musician myself. Good luck to you.

Thank You! Im moving one-way down 95 from NH and didn’t know about these fast and furious idiots

Hello Atwood, I'm curious about Eastport and the more north east coastal areas(bar harbor to eastport) closer to the Canadian border and villages. Are they providing some comfortable living, social outlets and emergency services whilst still being peaceful and low key? I'm a navy vet originally from mass now Florida., soon I will be 100, and looking to live a quite semi coastal retired irish gypsy/sailor life, put down some roots and do some traveling to heritage locations as well as back down and up the coast. I'm a minimalist and I enjoy my privacy but also like to be part of a small community doing their own thing. Hopefully that makes sense? I'm aware I will have to visit but there's nothing like the advice of a born and raised there local. Thank you and I hope you havn't allowed the demigogs to put you off of info sharing on our Tube of You. Fair Weather & Following Seas. be Blessed

But i don’t think i can deal with those gas prices

Hey Franki im a little late seing your videos but thanks anyway i live in Orlando Florida shit town want to get out of here real bad

Thanks Frank

Oh gosh-the memory. I bought the same aluminum cat litter scooper just before I moved to using wonderful pine cat litter. All those clay clumps and oh my, the strong ammonia smell of urine, no more with pine. It smells like a lumberyard, sawdust, no ammonia or dust for mine or our cats' lungs. Healthier and use less so cost less. Look into pine. I love it. So much less work too.

Don't move to maine believe me. Unless you can afford a place with lots of land and even then I wouldn't. Why? Lived here me whole life and never seen so many migrants for 1 and 2 the drugs are so bad now it's not funny. We used to love our little grocery store now it's insane and scary.

1 mill is median price in Hawai'i. We are trying to get out of here!

My family and I are born and raised in Hawai'i but cost of living and home prices are outrageous. I've always wanted to live in Maine and have ancestors that mived there many years ago. Any advice? We are looking in Friendship

I live living in Maine

Could you do a video on how to find local farmers to support for produce?
