My sister has lived there since 2007 and now parents do, so I've decided to go back at the end of the month, because I do not have any friends here. I visited there in 2014, but from this vid it looks a little different. I see much construction downtown. They all live in Wesley Chapel. I've lived in Brandon, Oldsmar, Dunedin, Clearwater and Hyde Park. The 30th cannot get here fast enough.

This was really helpful man, thank you. I'm considering moving from Chicago, and while I did visit Clearwater in 2017, I took a gamble and went just before the hurricane swept the state, stress will make you do stupid things, but I don't regret it one bit. Saw the beauty of Clearwater, spent a night in Tampa, but didn't see much as I escaped the hurricane in a rental all the way back to Chicago, but I've been to Florida before in my life and it's just a beautiful state period. Tampa has much that I'm looking for, and while Arizona, Tennessee and Texas are also on my list, something about Florida keeps callin me, and since I gave Arizona two tries, I feel like I owe Tampa one. Thanks again, God bless your family, and it takes ballz for a man to let his daughter paint his toes. Lol. Cheerz Budd!

[@doitordont6150]

I've been to Chicago before, its a pretty cool city, sure does get windy and cold though in the winter. Hurricanes are not too common in the Tampa Bay area compared to the east side of Florida. Well at least you practiced your escape plan lol. The cities you listed are on my bucket list to Visit some day. Take some trips down here to make sure its the right thing. Temperatures are great all year around if you like warm sunny days, so much to do and short commutes to large attractions like Disneyland, Clearwater Beach, etc...on the downside there are no Mountains. I moved to Pennsylvania recently due to family reasons but if you have any questions about Tampa area let me know. Anything for my baby girl lol. Thanks for watching man.

@@doitordont6150 practiced my escape route, oh yeah! Lol Thanks man, and he I'm also a fan of Mountains, which is why I love Tennessee and Arizona. It's a tough call, but one never knows until one tries. There's one thing that I cringe at the thought of about Florida, those giant flying roaches, ekh! I can handle many things, but those things disgust me to the point when I see one, as I did in my hotel room in L.A. once, I literally packed up and left that moment, because I can't sleep after that. Pros and cons man, what can we do?! Did you see any yourself while down there? Like in rooms, restaurants, bars, cafes?

[@doitordont6150]

I agree pros and cons. Florida's Nature is ocean, lakes, rivers. Where other places may be mountains, lakes, rivers. California has both. As far as the Palmetto Bugs I also agree they are scary nasty looking pests. They would get in my apartment often and we would kill maybe like 3 a week. Takes a couple hits to kill them cause they are big. I even had one wake me up because of the weight and tickle feeling I had crawling on my arm. To be fair, they are practically harmless and you do get used to them and eventually learn how to prevent them.

[@gitchfitness6591]

Hey where would you recommend for recent college grads to live in Tampa? I want somewhere with a good night life and younger crowd.

[@doitordont6150]

South Howard is way too expensive but has great younger crowds, Ybor city area is also great for Night Life younger crowds but is a little Ghetto in that area as far as living. Best thing to do is get a nice safe private place in the surrounding towns shown in this Video and use all that money your saving to get Ubered into the night life in either Ybor city or South Howard. The drive may be like 20-25 mins but is so worth it. If you want walking distance/shuttle then I'd say live in Channelside but expect to pay a minimum of 2000k/month. Any other questions let me know.

Which city or cities do you recommend for a 40 year old professional that’s not too expensive (looking around 1k for rent for a single person)? Not too concerned about nightlife.

[@doitordont6150]

If your not working from home, then it would come down to where you are working because Tampa is spread out and I wouldn't want you driving 1 hour to work in Traffic. Anywhere outskirts of central tampa I'd recommend. Wesley Chapel(North side) is kinda pricey but is a good bang for buck as far as amenities in their developments. Brandon and Riverview are good options in the East side. South Tampa might be too pricey but for one person you might be able to find a 1 bdr. Town n Country is not too bad either (west side). If you lived in Brandon and had to drive across to the west side Town n Country, your not gonna like the drive. I'd start off in one of those locations and after your lease decide if it was the right location for you. Overall you will have access to Alot in any of the outskirts areas.

In all Honesty these areas are so close together and very consistent in Terrain. They have many similarities. And I feel they are all equally matched and would come down to preference. By looking at the visual Condos online and maybe in person it would give you the best view of what your getting yourself into but the good thing is it would only be temporary to get you there and get a feel of what exact area you will want to live. Doesn't matter where you live it could take one bad neighbor which could be anywhere to make the whole area feel bad. I don't think this will happen but is just an example. So short answer would be they are equal. In this video I show how to use the zilliow application to look for areas.

I definitely think you could pull it off with a low basic lifestyle working gigs. Play it safe and save as much emergency money as you can because the future of everything right now is unpredictable. And that goes anywhere you live of course. I'd stay in the 800-1000/month range for rent for a nice little 1bdr but with your preference you could spend a little more or less depending on your standards.

We are moving to Tampa in July. My daughter wants to rent there for about a year and then maybe buy a house do you have any suggestions.

[@doitordont6150]

I think what your doing is good. Rent for a year which will allow you to really get a feel of All the areas in Tampa and decide what area of Tampa is right for you. In the video I show all the outskirts of Tampa as my recommendation as far as living. Find an apartment with the amenities or luxuries that you desire and get locked in. But if you want to go cheaper for that one year then look for smaller apartments that won't be as appealing but will get you to Tampa and allow you to save and get into a house after that year is up.

Big change. City life and weather is all different in Tampa but for me its worth worth it for many reasons but its a person preference

[@russiansquare]

Hey man thank you for your videos ....I ( dad ) and my girls ( daughters ) are trying to escape our lovely city due to all the bs impose by criminals in suits and uniforms. Question do lizards bite and when they do bite what is it like ? my little girl is terrified of them... Also do school suck in Tampa in comparison to North East region thank you much love from nyc.

[@doitordont6150]

I hear that. Tampa should definitely be much safer for your family. The lizards do not bite. I'm sure if you picked it up and tried to harm one while holding it, it might try and fight back but they don't have teeth so it wouldn't hurt either way. All the schools are individual meaning some might be good and bad in the same area. Best thing to do is go off the chart I show in the video. I'd say from experience wesley chapel has the best school bang for buck

Masks only needed indoors. But honestly Tampa Bay is getting way too congested and to live in a safe area be prepared to pay $1500 rent or $400k for home

[@brittanyelise5538]

And the 1500 gets you a studio

[@leroyburning5029]

Great video bro! Keep them up! But we talked prior on one of your older videos and I know you didn’t recommend spending all your savings, obvi, but how much would you recommend to have saved up before moving down there with no job lined up?

[@doitordont6150]

Let's say your rent is $1000/month for a 1 bdr and this includes water. Let's estimate electric to be $70/month. Tack on internet+TV ($90), food ($250), gas ($70), car payments and insurance (350)..if you have a car payment...., etc..as an example.......that's about $1830/month for all your bills...12months x $1830= $21,960. You would calculate your individual expenses to your own of course. So 21,960 would get you through the whole year with no job. If your confident you'll get a job in 4 months of living here then divide 21,960/4months = $5490 should get you through those 4 months. Your expenses might be lower than this if you don't have a car payment or you don't need to tv internet. Keep in mind this doesn't include any fun activities or going out to eat. Also keep in mind almost all apartments require either 1 year in advance of rent if you don't work here or proof that your working in Florida. Also keep in mind for a full year you would just need the 12000 for the full years rent and your other bills you'll deal with separate. Hope this makes sense. Lmk if you have any more questions bro

Loving your videos one question how is the crime in Tampa? did a search and it shows Tampa having a crime rate

[@doitordont6150]

Tampa as in the central city, it has a higher crime rate but its a small area of tampa. In this video if you fast forward to 21:20 I briefly talk about Crime. And Alittle bit before that I talk about the outskirts of Tampa that have little to no Crime. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

[@andrewfraraccio6953]

Do it Or Dont thank you. I look forward to watching more Tampa videos by you

[@scottblish766]

Most of the crime happens in a few sketchy neighborhoods that most people have no reason to ever be in unless they're unfortunate enough to have to live there, or unless they're doing something illegal themselves. Be smart and alert and you'll be fine.

[@brittanyelise5538]

[@doitordont6150]

Fitness is definitely a huge thing in Tampa. There are a lot of gyms and they are packed(semi packed now with covid). But you will also see a lot of people jogging around the neighborhoods and utilizing the trails available to them. I can't compare to Miami cause I never lived there but I'm sure Miami is doing it a bit bigger than Tampa because its a bigger city with a higher population. But Tampa still got it. Hope this helps

Well I'd definitely recommend Tampa because it has more to offer than Clearwater but Clearwater is a bit closer to the Beach. Saint Petersburg has best of both worlds but I still like Tampa more. Clearwater Beach is approximately 50 min drive from Tampa and its a nice scene ride once you get to Courtney Campbell Bridge! If you move be sure to shout out with the update. I like to hear everyone's stories. Best of Luck!
