My Tiny RV Life | I Have Decided To Do This For The Next Couple Of Years

[@valeriefairley8363]

Please don't rush into getting property. You got the time. Do A LOT of research.

[@carmenortiz4446]

I lived in an RV park for 2 years. It's community and secure. I'm moving and doing the same thing there as well. I will live out my days doing this as long as I can.

[@ricosnell4623]

So they charge per day

[@DC-8-8-8-]

The freedom alone sounds liberating

[@georgiacorey954]

I think you're making a wise decision to rent from an RV park, not a cop out at all. Let the RV Park handle the property managing. Also you still can become a Permanent FL resident while renting, and move your storage to FL to save on gas. It's a very flexible way of living with lots of benefits like moving if you decide u don't like where u are parked or just want a different bit of scenery every couple of years. Plus you can continue taking excursion vacations, like you have been doing, without worrying about grass cutting, utilities, trash removal, grooming trees & spraying the grounds for mosquitoes. Later if u decide to buy Land maybe look at a small home already built, without an HOA so u can park your trailer, & galavant across the globe. You got this!

[@Pearl879]

Remember also that buying property will compromise your free lifestyle. Taxes, insurance, upkeep, and so forth. This is especially true if you decide to put a structure on the property and if you live on the property. Even if you rent your property out, the same responsibilities pertain. Being a landlord can be hell!

[@muniondalenewyurk6777]

FYI Anthony did own a house in the past! He is fully aware of the expenses required for homeownership (taxes, landscaping ect). This is not his first rodeo! Some of you people need to check out his videos from years ago! 🙄 He is exploring other living options for retirement, which is wise.

[@msmichele900]

Anthony I'm glad you are taking your time and not rushing into anything. You will know when the time is right to purchase keep doing your research for the future. Take care and God bless.

[@brelee77]

Hi Anthony, I’m a licensed real estate agent in SC. Most land is not cleared and that’s another cost you would need to consider. Take your time and I do think you need a buyer’s agent who would be looking out for your best interest. Never call the agent listed on the sign, they are looking out for the seller’s best interest

[@janetlevite3882]

Hello Mr. Anthony! Good for you! I think it's a good idea to hold on to your funds and build more funds before taking on land ownership and home ownership. There is a great deal of simplicity in renting vs. ownership. You just got your new trailer a mere couple of months back, and that is your new "home" - enjoy it for another 2-3 years. Keep the money in your pocket. You're not raising kids, etc. Its just you. Enjoy keeping your money in your pocket and still living life and enjoying travel, etc. That land / house is going to be so much of headache. You'll be emptying large portions of your savings so much that your head will spin. I think you've made the right decision! 2300 to 3000 for a permanent camping space is rent for one month for many of us in NYC. Enjoy that YEARLY cost of permament space and pocket your money!!! Your bicycle is really in keeping with what you're talking about. Being able to afford the little / leisurely things without worrying about finances. Very happy for you. This is a VERY wise decision.

What ever property u choose u definitely need to ask what type of dwelling can u put on it, a home, a tiny home, a modular home, trailer home, a barndominium home, a shed, there's some many structures now be specific. Look at the Barndomunium homes people are buying.

[@robertaphillip2084]

Anthony, I love how you think through your decisions, you are making the right choice with holding off on the purchase of land! Continue to do you!

[@BritgirlTX]

Sometimes hiring a general contractor to BUILD you a small home is cheaper than you buying a shed and getting electrical, plumbing and finishing out with insulation, trim, paint etc. Remember a shed will be on raised blocks unless you have a concrete foundation for it ... and you would have to know the size of the base of the shed before making that base. We just went through all that. Got a custom shed built for wayyyyyyy cheaper than us purchasing the Lowes or Home Depot shed and finishing it out. Also a shed will need tie straps if you are going to put it in hurricane-prone FL

[@devonnataylor3538]

Yess! That is true. My mother brought 15 acres of land in Port Charlotte FL. I have 5, my mother had 5 and my brother have 5. Our mother is decease as of 2016. We still have the land. We just pay the taxes yearly

[@Isa-Amor]

Floridian here. Category refers to what your MH can withstand in regards to category hurricane strength winds. You know when they say hurricane Cat 5 etc!..

[@latonyabright2754]

The ground does matter. Be mindful of water and sewer. If you have to get city water or deep well put in or city sewer connection or put in sewer tank and drain lines. When finding out about any property always find out what will be required. As city connections you will have to pay those monthly bills.

[@MsPhillyG]

Anthony I agree with you trying to get a permanent spot at a campground. I hope you find the perfect place, I'm here for the journey❤

[@barbaralouise_]

I'm not sure where you are looking for land Anthony, but you might want to check past storm paths to see if the land you want is in a frequent path. I know storms happen a lot everywhere but it can't hurt to check.

[@lasandrawinterssmiley293]

It’s not a cop out. You educated yourself about what all was involved and made an educated decision. Good for you.

[@annrozsi9741]

Love following your journey. Your property videos have raised some questions and things for you to consider, friend. 1. Please verify that city sewer and water are available. Based upon what you're showing, I'm guessing that you will have to install a well and a septic. 2. My sister has lived in FL for almost 50 years, and she is moving out of the state due to the exorbitant insurance costs. 3. I belong to some tiny house FB groups. Many states are not all that welcoming of tiny houses. You might consider looking at Tennessee. God bless you as you live your genuine, best life. Hugs

[@staceyholt5936]

I think becoming a permanent resident is smart. You have your trailer and you can pull up and stay put. Everything is on the campground which makes things easy

[@buzzinbee9463]

Don't end up in no quicksand and disappear. Be careful. 😊

[@karen4water]

sounds like a wise choice for now. I think the campground creates a community that you are most comfortable in and it has everything you need. Definitely simplest! I would think Georgia would be better, no offense Florida, but it would be a bit cooler and no hurricanes or gators. So much to think about!

[@Aquarian_Soul]

I'm glad you're taking your time. Plus I remember last year your goal was to find a permanent camp ground. Now that you have your camper it just makes sense. Saving coins in 2024!

Yes! You have time. Allow God to show you the best path to take. I thought you were rushing but I did want to say. 🥰😉🤗

[@BritgirlTX]

Good info Anthony! If you decide to buy some land (not on an established campground), put the basic amenities on it water, electric, WIFI and you can rent the land out to campers while you are traveling. If you do that the money you get from renting to fellow RV'ers/tent campers you can put towards the cost of the utilities ... also you should be able to get a tax break once you start renting it out. Also less taxes to pay out if no house is on the land. Consult with an accountant and/or tax attorney to see if thats doable in FL. Take your time and find the right property. We have a large pond on our ranch and its definitely a focal point to the land. A pond or close to water will bring in those RV'ers who like to go fishing!

[@richyboy50]

Anthony, I think you are making the correct decision to do the snowbird thing instead of buying land in Florida. I have a thousand trails membership and live in CT. In fact I am on the road to Florida for😂3 months.

[@loretta6240]

I definitely like the idea of the camp ground ❤ I can't see maintaining property when u could be relaxing and more to do as in fun at camp pool etc ❤

[@FOASQUAD]

It does sound very appealing and a very simple way of living until I chose otherwise.

[@mimimalone548]

You are enjoying going different directions, so why stop? You are very social, why isolate? A permanent spot at a campground sound right. Also, as larger trailers come up for sale, you might want to rehab one for your permanent residence. You can stay flexible with your smaller trailer, and could leave Florida in case of bad weather.

[@dianenaylor2104]

We just retired FROM Florida to Tennessee. Please know the weather is so harsh in Fl. There are severe thunderstorms and blinding rain EVERY day in the summers. There are also many tornados. You need a real house as mobile homes, tiny houses etc do not hold up! There is also hurricanes and tropical storms. These are no joke either. Because of the weather, it’s almost impossible to get homeowners insurance. Once you do, it’ll go up substantially each year. Also, property taxes are outrageous. We love eastern TN as there are 4 seasons but winters here are mild. There are no hurricanes or daily bad weather! Everything is less expensive from homeowners, auto insurance and property taxes. We have beautiful Mountain View’s and are lakeside. I know people dream of retiring to Florida and many people also leave. If you want to retire there, please get a regular home that is safer. Ps. Watch out for sink holes. Most are in central and western Fl.

Anthony, when you're looking at Land you need to see clear survey markers. 1/4 of an acre is a little bit over 10000 square feet not much space at all. Good luck

[@fairgeorge2975]

Anthony, please keep in mind, the larger the property the more maintenance it's going to need such as cutting the lawn, weeding, and as well as buying equipment to maintain the land. A quarter of an acre is a large property. Ask yourself do you want to be cutting lawn on such a large property.

[@JoHarmon-hg7wz]

And tax on empty lot will go sky hi once a structure is added. Always so much research with buying land. It would be nice if they posted markers to show boundaries.

[@BritgirlTX]

@@JoHarmon-hg7wz He SHOULD get a property survey of the land before closing. Ask your realtor Anthony before putting any deposit down. Whay you think is a cute piece of property could end up being a mishmash oddly shaped land. Don't buy land until you see the property markers, read up on easements on the property (there could be public access right through the property!)

[@adventurousspirit6628]

I'm glad you decided to become a permanent resident at a campground because not only will it cost to develop, and bring utilities on raw land you also have to think about insuring your home. Its my understanding that Florida is worst than California when it comes to the cost of homeowners insurance. When the time comes to purchase either land or a house, make sure you look into the cost of homeowners insurance and if you can even get a traditional policy in the area you want to live in, there maybe some surprises once you dig around. Thanks for the update and I'm glad you did your due diligence by checking with zoning. 💕

[@Healer4Peace]

Good call, Anthony. You're a diligent planner. Doing exploratory research is wise. Real estate is another big investment, one you shouldn't rush.

[@wendyedwards4806]

If you noticed, Kathy's property is in the middle of nowhere. Many residents, particularly in the suburbs, consider sheds, trailers, etc... unsightly. If you're opting to live in a residential neighborhood, why not purchase a brick and mortar? For your lifestyle, something rural, an RV park, tiny home village may be more suitable. At 700 square ft., a shed is no longer a shed it's a barn meant to be housed on acres upon acres of farmland. Considering all of the work that has to be done to make it livable, you'll be better suited to buying a model/manufactured home and placing that on the residential land. I seriously doubt if a resident in that county wants to live by a neighbor who purchased their home from Home Depot. Please consider these things before purchasing residential land. In five years, the facts won't change, and a refund would be out of the question. As always, wishing the best for you, Anthony. ❤

[@sherriemitchell3892]

If you're in a residential area and have land you're gonna have to upkeep it all the time. You're gonna have to have somebody. Come and cut the grass all overtime or you'll get fined. You should also look at maybe a place that has something on it like a house. It doesn't necessarily have to be that much more than the land itself. And it may be cheaper than building. If you can get something that's not too bad You can fix it. You can renovate it. You can add-on to it.

Anthony check out container homes as well. You can also combine two structures to make 700 square feet. Good information. It's best to be educated. ❤ What about Alabama? You asked great questions. I am sure you xan roll up and stay there during building slowly. Noone is going to police it that closely I would think. Builders stay on site all the time. Again shipping containers are about $5,000 each. I've seen people buy water tanks to connect to home.

[@dianeshover1465]

The city you live in absolutely WILL be paying attention! Residential zoning has ENDLESS requirements .....RESEARCH, RESEARCH and RESEARCH SOME MORE! I would hire a realtor to work with you & walk your they the ENTIRE process - it will be WELL worth the $ unless you know ALOT about purchasing property. Clearing trees, larger shrubbery etc is best left to the professionals. Unless it’s had a previous home on it, many times this type of land needs to also be leveled & sometimes “filled in”. This adds so much into the cost of land - but if it’s intended to be your HOME, it will need to be done properly. Take your time, do your due diligence & be sure to work with LICENSED PROS👍 BEST of luck Anthony❤️

Find out the zoning before you go to see it, Ck to see what kind of homes are in the area!

[@debbie5636]

It’s good you are doing your due diligence. Please keep in mind and questions to ask: Florida weather…hurricanes etc. What type of insurance coverage will you have in a shed home, mobile home with NO wheels, manufactured homes. Very important. I’m sure the structure has to be RATED for hurricanes. What type of taxes will you encounter Ground maintenance while you are away traveling? Extra expense. If you get a well & septic tank, You will probably need a generator in case electric goes out. Another expense. I’m glad you reconsidered buying and are taking your to make a big decision. That permanent residency idea at the camp grounds is great for you right now. Best wishes and safe travels!
