Moving to Florida in 2022 🏡 THE Moving to Florida Guide

[@beautifulflorida]

Florida is beautiful! Ocean is gorgeous! We make a lot of videos of the cities around Orlando area, different stores, beaches and new homes construction and noticed a non-stop growth. Florida attracts not tourists only, but a lot of people are coming from other states to live here!

[@OrlandoPropertyAdvisor]

My only gripe is the humidity in the summer. By August I usually need to take a trip up north for a few weeks to catch a break from it

[@SS-wm5kb]

Born and raised in MN. I've been vacationing in FL my entire life and my aunts now live in Lakewood Ranch. I'm thinking about moving to Cape Coral.

[@OrlandoPropertyAdvisor]

Demand continues to be strong for FL houses and cape coral can get you a bit more value for the money compared to lakewood ranch. Nice South-Florida air down there too

@@OrlandoPropertyAdvisor yes, exactly. If you’ve never moved or lived in other states you don’t realize how everything really is similar. Depending the part of town, same crimes, loads of drugs, traffic can be rough also depending which way you head. Where I’m at more north on the island it’s great!! But to go to work in Kona, not North Kona, but south Kona your in ridiculous lines and can take up to an hr to get to your location and back through. You have to watch the local FB page to see where road work and cleanup areas are or you better plan on a wait. We bring a small cooler with snacks! Lol! Always prepared! We know what streets to avoid with bad neighborhoods. It’s scary and hard going in new though! The economy for year has been up and down. It’s normal history. And we all struggle from time to time.

Hi Pablo, I felt the same some 17+ years ago. I actually made a spreadsheet of various states to move to from the Boston Area. Eventually zeroed in on two - Florida and CA. Florida won due to the very reasons you mentioned. I eventually took up a job and lived 3 years in California, just to scratch the CA itch. Then came right back to FL. The best decision I made. I have friends and family who visit from time to time. Every single one of them are in awe of Florida. What most people cant understand is how the entire state is so clean organized with wide nice roads and attractions all over the state. How one does not have to drive long distances to get to any store or strip mall [unless you are driving through the everglades or such restricted nature reserves].

Do your homework, " the free state of florida" as our governor loves to brag on is anything but free anymore. Property taxes double and triple, homeowners insurance same, flood insurance now mandatory for every residence, utility costs double. Insurance industry on the brink of insolvency, refusing to settle on Ian losses. Condo/HOA costs forcing people to walk away from their mortgages, because they can't afford to stay and nobody's buying them. The only thing free in the state is the rhetoric and the sunshine.

[@JohnJohn-wr1jo]

Cape coral was but that's not the case post Ian. Do your homework before buying here. Infrastructure in the city was in bad shape pre Ian and is only worse now. Huge assessments/tax increases coming because the city/county/state planning boards have ignored these issues for 30 years.

Is lake Nona community approval for short term rentals?

No air Bnb, HOA’s and Orange County zoning prevent- however some of the apartment buildings have 3-6 month leases, can be furnished, which helps with people relocating in and needing to bridge the gap till their new house is done

Thanks Tourist and you enjoy the traffic,bugs,heat,sweat & road rage and we can't forget Crime is on the RISE! TOO BUSY TRYING TO PAY RENT THAT IS NOT GOVERNED! DOUBLED PRICE!

[@mcarlkv53]

what is the justifiable reasons that apartment rent in osceola, orange, and polk county went up 40-50 percent in one year. i can see homes and mobile homes going up because of supply and demand...but why apartment rents? especially one-bedroom? do you have any answers? Let me know....

[@OrlandoPropertyAdvisor]

Its insane... and cannot continue at this pace, however here are my thoughts: People strike out at renting a townhome or SFH with private owner so they go to apartment buildings because its easier to walk into a leasing office and see what they have coming up or available now- they also accept lower credit scores and income, lower deposit amounts usually. With the exponentially rising rents and very little control, more investors flocked to FL from states like Oregon and CA where rent control is in the favor of the tenant, and bought up investment properties to rent out. Demand continued and thus it became a self-feeding beast. As relocations slow down and more vacancies pop up (florida was just named most vacancies - for other reasons besides investment homes) it will balance out. But the new norm for a 1-bedroom apartment in a nicer area is $1600-$1800/mo. Who doesn't like a NEW apartment building to come home to! It's nicer than a 1960's built ranch house or townhome with old finishes, and if its in the heart of the area you like, then it can be a great place to land for a few years before you buy.

Reasons why not to move to Florida for northerners: Very bad health care. It is very difficult to find professional and adequate health care providers. Most are either sub-par, poorly trained or just don't care. I would strongly suggest that you see health care providers in the north including dental care. Florida is a very superficial culture, especially in Orlando. It's a great place for mainstream but don't count on intellectual stimulation. Florida is halfway between the United States and a third world country. Services are not good, schools are poor, and customer service is almost non- existent. Florida is very expensive (except maybe for New Yorkers). Don't move to Florida because there is no state income tax. The cost of living is very high, especially rent and real estate. The lack of state taxes does not make up for high cost of living. Wish I had known these things before I moved here, I would have chosen another state.

[@OrlandoPropertyAdvisor]

LOL on this generalization. lake nona medical city orlando has the best dentists, medical care, schools, and although it is expensive it still has room to grow, unlike a fully established city. If Florida is not your thing, There will be someone waiting in line to buy your house right now ;)
