Florida Homes For Sale That WON'T Break The Bank

[@MichaelBordenaro]

If you enjoyed this video and want to check out some good deals on oceanfront condos for sale, then check out this video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3Taq42hfZapqZY

[@herrickinman9303]

If you looked for houses under $300K, then by definition those are not "random" houses. Do you like to hear yourself say "random" because you think it sounds cool, even though you're misusing the term?

[@xxmyspac]

what sucks about zillow is that it doesn't show crime in the area ........like trulia does .........you dont want to move somewhere then all the sudden you realize how crime is after your done buying it thats a nightmare

[@MichaelBordenaro]

That is very true. However I have noticed in my own real estate experience the crime maps don't tell the whole story either. Some areas that seem really bad and you go there in person seemed totally normal. But it is something to be aware of.

[@robs5870]

You're right Michael, all these houses are really nice for the money, but I'm with you on that house that you like, new construction for the money, you can't beat it.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

I know right? I am very surprised when i do these videos sometimes at the deals I find.

[@JimCarnicelli]

Most of these houses are simple in design. I was most struck by the last house featured. Especially that unusual bathroom (jetted tub and hidden shower around the corner) and the large covered patio. It looks like that patio features tracks for maybe a closable wall to protect the pool table and other stuff during a storm. Not to mention a full screen over the pool deck. Very distinctive features for a nice price.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Yes they are, and probably why I liked them so much. I am a simple kind of guy. Yes that last house was quite a deal. It had a ton of great features and for that price, is tough to beat 👍

[@BeAConservative]

Also the cost of repair and maintenance, electric cable . Not just morg. taxes Ins. Owning a home can be very costly. Don't forget the cost of interest over 30 years.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Yes of course those are all legitimate expenses, but pretty hard to quantify in a video since it will be different everyone. Better to just focus on the numbers we know and warn people about the rest👍

[@stephanieblessedbygod2734]

Beautiful. Fireplaces are a must! I am looking at moving to the Palm Beach...... if you can do a video in that area that would be awesome!!

[@dellhpfree]

I love this video. Can you please do another north of Tampa. Thank you.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Awesome, thanks! I did one a little while back showcasing all the great house deals I found on the west coast and some were in Tampa, check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYezY4uva7Bsr7c

@@MichaelBordenaro Thank you Michael for your reply. What is your opinion on St. Augustine area? I’m buying a house as a vacation home.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

@@dellhpfree Oh I love St Augustine! I have talked about it a lot in several of my older videos. It is my favorite place in FL, and I would consider moving there one day as well!

[@domenicodipasquale4590]

Thankyou once again for such honest house reviews

[@MichaelBordenaro]

My pleasure 😊

[@MikeBA10]

Perfect timing on this video. I've been seriously thinking of relocating from the midwest to FL and have been spending some time on Zillow. Really shocked by some of the great real estate value in Florida.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Awesome, glad you saw it in time! There are quite a few good deals here to be had 👍

Thank you I enjoyed your video. I will be relocating to Florida next year. I'm thinking Tampa, Pensecola or Destin. The houses that you found is actually within my price range. So thank you very much and I will be following you f or more properties. 😊

Yes very good deals, here in Mich. the pool houses would ahve costed more.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

That is incredible, maybe in Mich, the lots are bigger?

[@liberalthoughts5890]

Love the video. Planning on moving to the fort myers/cape coral area one of these years. Maybe you'll be my broker?? Would love to see a video on expenses, ie your not paying an HOA fee, so what is the price of monthly upkeep in florida. ie lawn, pool (if there is one). I'd love to know for future reference.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Thanks a lot! I only work in Miami Beach as RE agent, so unfortunately I wouldn't be able to help you with that area. But the upkeep video is an interesting idea and it's something I'll consider

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Looking nice..

[@Prophezora]

I wonder how much these homes are going for now?

[@MichaelBordenaro]

I doubt any of them are still for sale and probably whoever bought them aren't selling them already. But you could check near these places and see what the prices are now

[@juanvial5421]

thanks Michael! do you have apartments in your property listings?

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Not in this video, but I did a couple other videos similar all with condos only, I'll link some of them here kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGeaYYZ8Yp51qsk kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIOaiHtsqbppntE kzbin.info/www/bejne/npjGlGWApJagY7s

[@soniadowney7427]

You'd think the builder would try to preserve some of those nice trees rather than mowing them all down ...

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Yes that would be ideal, but I see that in many developments, them destroying all nature that is in place in order to make room for the development. It is a tragedy and should be done more responsibly

[@tiki424ma]

Thanks for mentioning the ceilings. im from CA and desperately want high ceilings and open concept again! I was looking at Palm Bay last night. I see you mentioned Deltona and Sebring...what areas/cities in FL would you avoid ? Im a single 52 yr young woman looking for a small home with a pool for under $250k.

[@octzone]

Good video Mike B!. What's the thing with Hoa fees?. How does that work?. Is it optional or that comes automatically with all homes?. Would be nice to get a home without hoa fees. I would rather take care of my own house myself than to pay someone to take care of things lol

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Thank you Octzone! The HOA's only apply if you buy a house in a HOA community. While there are many of them here in FL, there are still plenty that have no HOA as well. You just need to filter out places like that when shopping for a home 👍

[@ryanap]

Great video. Thank you. As I just found out that these are the type of homes in my process range. Which of these would you say is the safest?

[@ryanap]

Price range*

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Thanks Ryan glad you enjoyed it! I can't comment too much on the areas as I didn't pay attention to much to the areas and more just to how nice the house was for the money. Also I don't know all of these areas in the video. I always tell everyone to make sure to scope out any neighborhood before buying

[@ryanap]

@@MichaelBordenaro have you made a video with homes 200k and lower?

Michael , I'm single no family no friends. I want to move to Florida. I'm looking for a studio rental. How much would rent be monthly

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Depends on where in Florida really. In Miami Beach studios start around $1100 per month but in some less expensive cities it could be as low as 600 per month

[@larrykalman6020]

Hello Michael, love the houses, we are coming to Florida in March. Let us know who to contact. We would like to look at houses that are in these price ranges. We also don't want to break the bank purchasing a home.

Hi Larry, you can fill out this form on my site michaelbordenaro.com/moving-to-florida/ and I can get you in touch with an agent in the area you'll be looking in 👍

[@humbertcamacho5911]

Look at frame 0:36. Isn’t that the condo that imploded last year?

[@MichaelBordenaro]

No thats not he same place, but I can see how you mistook it for it. It does look similar

[@dm-to1ic]

crazy that in Vancouver the average home is 2.6 million😶

[@MichaelBordenaro]

That is crazy!

[@itswritteninthestarz]

Hi Michael, you mentioned in one of your videos you try to stay away from gated communities w hoa fees. Why is that?

[@MichaelBordenaro]

Its because when you live in a house, normally you'll want to be able to do as you please. In an hoa community, this is almost never possible. Similar to a condo, they have a set of rules that must be followed. House must be a certain color, grass must be a certain height, no fences, visitor restrictions, pet restrictions, and on and on. If you are ok with those rules, then by all means its ok, but most people want to be in a house to have less rules and more freedom

You need to research Lehigh Acres and Cape Coral a little more. Lehigh acres is pronounced like Lee High acres. It has been considered a failed development area for a decade or two. Some people think it might come back, but it could take decades. There are many stories about properties in Lehigh Acres being really tough to sell. Cape Coral has some good and bad areas. It has a reputation of being kind of the Wild West. Some areas are good, other areas have gun shots. Same thing goes for Ft Meyers. Some good and bad areas. Usually if properties are very low priced, there’s a reason for that. The HOAs are a good thing and a bad thing. If you don’t have some restrictions, you could have a neighbor that has a poorly maintained home with bare dirt or tall weeds in the front of their home, decorated by old dead cars, old run down RVs, old boats, and other junk. The downside of HOAs is sometimes the cost. Sometimes the HOAs are too restrictive. I heard a story about a HOA that didn’t allow you to leave your shoes outside the front door.

[@MichaelBordenaro]

None of these houses looked like they were in the hood, and point of the video is to showcase some of the good deals out there, not to do a total analysis on the neighborhoods and surroundings

[@noreenn6976]

Sigh, I wish we could find houses less than $300k in 2022
