Luxury Custom Home | Arthur Rutenberg | Catalina Plan | 3 Beds 3.5 Baths

This home is for sale as an 18-24 month leaseback. That means you buy it and the builder leases it back from you as a model. It can be a good investment OR a great way to wait until you are ready to move and then have the perfect home to move to!

[@brettmarquez562]

On a lease back, does the lease price typically match or exceed mortgage amounts? If you do this option, do you typically pay the full price for all the upgrades in the model, or are the builders more willing to offer a better price?

[@HeartandHomeOrlando]

@@brettmarquez562 Every leaseback is different, but the payment amount almost always exceeds the cost of the mortgage by a good bit. Investment properties usually require a higher down payment and sometimes have higher interest rates... but the leaseback can be 7 or 8% of the full cost of the home annually. So if you had a $300,000 mortgage on a $500,000 leaseback, you could be paying $12,000/year in mortgage payments but getting $35,000/year in leaseback payments. It can be a pretty good investment.

[@HeartandHomeOrlando]

@@brettmarquez562 You are usually paying full price for the upgrades and options AND you usually have ALL of the upgrades and options... BUT, by the time the leaseback is up, base prices for brand new have usually gone up by quite a bit in the community so the model home ends up being a pretty good value if you buy it as a leaseback with 2 years or more before the builder moves out. I've got a LOT of experience helping clients buy leasebacks...so if you are interested, give me a call!

I usually do not like modern design houses because most of them feel like medical offices to me, but I love this one. It's a lot warmer than the norm because of the wood floors and beams. Also, the choice of furniture makes it seem more comfortable and relaxing.

[@HeartandHomeOrlando]

Totally! I think you nailed the description!

[@FerminJrPatdu]

I'm loving this model. The extra counter/island space in the laundry room is a unique concept. I never saw something like that before. The office with elevated flooring and sectional for hanging, gorgeous with amazing view. Totally, my taste of style and color scheme.

[@HeartandHomeOrlando]

The elevated office looking over the pool and the lake made me sit there for an extra minute to take it in! Thanks for watching, Fermin!

I can't respond to comments until the video officially posts, but someone asked about square footage... it is 3,601 square feet!

[@cydneystephen2814]

Omg. Love the 2nd fridge in the pantry. The outdoor space is magnificent with entry to that flex bonus space. Love that the bedrooms are in 3 corners of the home with their own bath because there is the half bath for guests. And all on 1 level. Beautiful floor plan. Nice one Amy. Him and Christopher Burton. Fantastic.

[@HeartandHomeOrlando]

I'm with you... the second fridge is fantastic. Just need to combine it with the home the other day with the extra oven in the pantry! 😍

Living around water makes my heart 😍 happy but living in this would make me do the happy dance.

I love this house. It’s stunning! And the bathroom is beautiful especially if one is in a wheelchair, it’s very accessible.

[@HeartandHomeOrlando]

I totally agree!

@@HeartandHomeOrlando I love the office and the view from the office. Love the sliders, 20ft ceilings, master bathroom with the step up tub, the open spacious layout, and the entire pool area.

My family and I are planning to move to Florida over the next 3 month. I love everything about this house. Please provide me a price for a custom home like this. Thank you

[@HeartandHomeOrlando]

Hi Alfonso! There is SO much that goes into custom homes, that it is hard to give a price. Starting with WHERE... BUT, a good rule of thumb is that you'll pay $300-$350 per square foot for a custom home. That's REALLY general, but a good start. This home these days would be around $1.75 million. If I can help, let me know!

[@timhagenbuch5394]

Wow! Love the painted ceilings and the outdoor space is beautiful!!

I agree... and even though it is my video I can tell you that the video doesn't do it justice! The outdoor space is SO beautiful. It FEELS great to be there!

Hi Amy! Anything similar to this style being built in Winter Garden/Hamlin/Horizon West?

[@HeartandHomeOrlando]

This particular builder would build in this area for the right price... would have to be a big job to justify the logistics work. BUT there are definitely custom builders and Arthur Rutenberg affiliates that build here. The other challenge in Winter Garden/Hamlin/Horizon West is finding a piece of land to build a custom home. It can definitely be done! Call me if you want to do a search! :)

Morning Amy How much is the property?

[@HeartandHomeOrlando]

Hi Rob! Because this video stays up forever and prices and circumstances change, I'm not posting the price. It is an 18-24 month leaseback to start with, meaning the builder leases it back from you at first. If you'd like the price, send me an email to [e-mail] and I'll be happy to share more details. :)

[@jimsullivan3219]
