Happy In His Villa, But Surrounded By Renters

Michael tried six times before getting his lovely patio villa. He has immersed himself into the community and is participating in many activities. He loves his new home but was surprised and disappointed to find that he is the only resident on his block. He says the other homes are rental properties! Join Jerry and Linda as they discuss his new home, the process, and the unique situation he now finds himself in.

Michael, I am one of the renters just around the corner from you and spoke to you and another neighbor this morning from inside our rental car. I was surprised to turn on the video tonight and see your smiling face! We are from Colorado too. It was great to meet you today and I hope things work out for you. You're a genuinely nice guy!

[@debbiericker8223]

Michael is a natural in front of the camera. That's such a shame about all the houses being sold to investor landlords. It completely changes the complexion of the street. TBH, if I were him, I'd limit the home upgrades for now and start looking for a different home but on a street with full-time residents. He's in a better position to look around with less time pressure now.

[@dogcrazy25]

Yes but it's expensive to buy and sell a house around 60k easy. Who's to say his next neighborhood won't turn into renters. I'm surprised TV allowed so many rentals in one location. Some of his upgrades could enhance his ability for a better sale.

[@emmylou-y4b]

We don't live in The Villages but I've been watching several channels over the last few years and not all renters take care of the property. Michael is making costly improvements and should have neighbors who are at least part time resident like "snowbirds." The developers (or whoever) should block out specific streets and make them all rentals/air B&Bs and not sell them to residents without telling them the situation.

[@DisMindy5767]

Hopefully many of those who purchased for the purpose of renting out will be retiring in the next few years and move into the homes they bought.

[@annehajdu8654]

​, I agree.

[@MichaelofTheVillages]

Hi Debbie thank you for the nice comment - I’ve thought about limiting upgrades and sell in December for a nice hefty profit, but I absolutely love my home and living in Richmond - since this video was shot, I’ve met a few more neighbors here - and we think some of these investors are going to flip and sell their homes at the end of this year, and maybe the new buyers will be resident-owners - we’ll see.

[@sgp1489]

His enthusiasm and positive attitude are contagious! I have a feeling that he will find many friends.

Thank you very much Trinity😀

Michael, YOU are an enthusiastic, walking- billboard for what The Villages is designed to be for it's homeowners. We love our little cottage home in Spanish Springs. WELCOME !!!!

[@MichaelofTheVillages]

Thanks Diane, I can’t wait to wake up each morning. Looking forward to another new adventure here.

[@theresatitus-lawson3431]

Wow! Great interview! I love hearing how other people came to The Villages and their first impressionsof it. Found myself grinning from ear to ear listening to Michael recount how he felt when he first saw The Villages in person and all the activities he's engaged in! Just like him, I did 2 lifestyles also and it also was 5 years from the first time I came until I bought my home which is 1297 sq. ft. and I have a cat! I'm sure in no time Michael will get a lot of contacts and invites! Welcome to The Villages Michael and welcome to the rest of your Fun and Happy Life! ❤

[@MichaelofTheVillages]

Thanks Theresa

[@Bill_and_Jeanie_Steele]

A little tip to those who have a few months before moving to The Villages- We will move to TV in August. 3 months ago we called The Villages Golf Cars dealer and put a deposit down on a new golf cart. It will be ready for us to pick up the day we move in, rather than living in TV without a cart, and wait several months as Michael had to.

[@karenanderson6495]

Such an enjoyable interview! Michael is another very positive person who is putting himself out there to make the most of his experience in TV. He's involved in so much... and I am sure that's the way to find out where your real interests lie. Good for him! I always enjoy hearing from positive people who are stepping out to make the most of their lives if they are able to! I'll be interested to see what he does to his already beautiful home!

Hi Jerry and Linda. Tell Michael that he shouldn’t feel too bad. We moved into an established neighborhood (4 years old) almost a year ago and we had one person knock on our door when we moved in.

[@RobScuremusic]

I'm very happy for Michael. I'm in a similar situation, where I'm looking for a smaller home for one. It's a shame that his neighborhood isn't what he expected in terms of camaraderie, but his willingness to put himself out there will overcome that I'm sure. Thanks for this video, Jerry and Linda and good luck to Michael as he settles into his new home.

The renter situation, would be a problem for me. I’m surprised the villages allows this.

[@lauralampe1664]

Homeowners in The Villages have been renting out their homes in The Villages since at least 2012, and probably before then. That is the year my friend bought her home in The Villages, and she rented a home for about a month to get acclimated before she purchased her home.

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

Your new friend is a very pleasant gentleman. He’ll do just fine in The Villages.

[@tod3msn]

Super nice man. Friendly and honest. Great interview. Renters are not optimal. My parents had renters for decades. They are also nice people too. Renters as great as they are don’t own the property and just don’t have the same intensity as owners about the property. I think what would be worse than being a renter is to live near the highway or turnpike. I would not want to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to live near traffic all day long and all night long. Bottom line: as all the people in the program said do a lifestyle visit and know what you are getting into.

[@MichaelofTheVillages]

Thanks Uncle Elmer!😀

[@SedA2027]

As a single guy myself in my late 50s it is so great to see Michael’s enthusiasm and attitude! I am interested in doing a lifestyle visit in the next year to come check out The Villages. Best to you Michael!

Thanks Joe - I was a little apprehensive moving here as a single guy, thinking everything would be pretty much couples-oriented. Although couples definitely dominate, I have met so many nice couples along with a fair number of singles. You’ll have no,probed fitting in and making lots of new friends, especially if you are active and like to participate in activities and clubs - Come do a lifestyle visit (at least 7 days). Feel free to reach out to me for any questions you may have about The Villages. 😀

Great video; Michael is such a terrific guy and I wish him the best in his new home. Question: Do you think the realtor should have mentioned that he would be living on a block of rentals? Is there any way for them to know that information? Thanks again.

[@lisa9867]

If I decide to move there it's something that I'm going to ask about.

[@emmylou-y4b]

@@lisa9867 It's very important. It's not like the neighborhood is new and people haven't moved in yet. These are rentals and Air B&Bs and unless people decide to sell, the situation isn't going to change.

[@MichaelofTheVillages]

Thank you so much - I’m not sure my sales agent knew who was snatching up the other homes in my villa neighborhood or not at the time I was purchasing - as much as I researched The Villages, the topic of Air BnB’s was missed by me - so something I would look into if I were to move again.

[@samueldavis2327]

Short term rentals are a plague. That is one reason that we are going to look at top of the world. My understanding is that it is strictly gated and does not allow rentals of less than seven months. At least that is my understanding. We currently live in an oceanfront condominium in Daytona Beach Shores, which allows minimum two week rentals. Anything less than six month rental is problematic.

[@genxx2724]

That’s what hotels and zoning are for. The residential zone is intended to be stable and quiet. Partiers and tourists stay in the business zone, where they don’t disturb residents.

Michael seems like a lovely guy. I love how he is jumping right in. His dilemma being surrounded by so many second homes and rentals is the same issue I am grappling with currently here in Hawaii. An area I am very interested in turns out to be mostly second homes and I am wondering, as a single, if I will make friends, or if I will be surrounded by a rotation of strangers who aren’t here seeking new friends. Michael is giving me an answer. You have to expand your area and get out there and do stuff! Thanks guys. 🙏🏼

we also got excluded from buying in Richmond bc of the lottery system, it was a nightmare... so stressful! We ended up buying pre-owned in Marsh Bend. We were told that The Villages does not allow new builds to be rented out for at least one year as to prevent investors and flips. Why is it that all these rentals exist in Richmond which is not even one year old?

$20,000 for bond is really outrageous. I’m sure the bond on homes there scares many people away for The Villages.

[@genxx2724]

Consider that it’s fair for the person buying the house to pay for the infrastructure that had to be built. It’s not fair for all the homeowners in the state to pay for the grading, drainage, roads, traffic signals, water, sewer, electric, gas lines, school construction etc., for never-ending new housing tracts.

[@katherineb.3140]

I was looking forward to this video and was not disappointed. Still scheduled to start my house hunt June 26th. I also like the Topaz model and have been following them on the homes for sale sight along with the Durham, both are two bedroom, two bath, two car garage, and around 1200-1300 square feet. See you when I get there.

[@MichaelofTheVillages]

Hi Jim - I love the Durham model - and that was my first choice, but never “won” the lottery on that model here in Richmond. But, I am very happy with the Topaz - extra large garage and super large walk-in master bedroom closet. One downside for some, would be no dedicated place for a large dining room table, but being single, I’m ok with that - and will be purchasing an outdoor dining table once my birdcage is built.

@@MichaelofTheVillages I didn't know they had built any Durhams in Richmond. They have stopped work on two sites across from Richmond that were supposed to include Courtyard Villas and possibly a Durham model in one of the areas, according to Gold Wingnut's latest construction update. (#125)

[@noreenn6976]

Great interview. I'm sure it's disappointing for Michael to have all rentals around him. Does TV have a limit as to the percentage of rentals allowed?

[@debbiericker8223]

They really should look into that because rentals change the feel of a neighborhood fast, and upkeep is almost always very basic compared to homeowners.

[@thomasaccuntius9946]

The time frame push by TV to decide to buy or not just does not set right with me. They, TV don't have a shortage of buyers, but they pressure people to buy with this tactic. Then to end up surrounded by renters would really tic me off. I enjoy the fact I can see my neighbors outside and go talk with them, unfornunately Mike wont have that opportunity. Maybe he can relocate, but that cost's more money and time. I don't feel TV should sell to renters. They seem to regulate almost everything else, so they should shift some focus on the residents who make TV what it is and keep reidents HAPPY.

[@elizabeths7520]

Ty so much for ur videos!!! ❤Any update on the latest status of any restrictions on rentals?

On a positive note... Perhaps some of the homes on his street, which are now being rented, have been purchased by people who plan to live there but are not quite old enough to retire. They could be grabbing up a home before the prices get TOO crazy... and are renting them out until it's their time. Just a thought.
