Good question! St Petersburg and Lakeland FL have some pretty decent Farmers Markets. We also have some down here in Miami too. Only thing I notice is that at the farmers market near me they bring produce literally from South America so I think that sort of defeats the point of the farmers market. But being vegan is a lifestyle choice and I think that can really be done anywhere these days. I have friends here that are vegan and we have plenty of restaurants that cater to this lifestyle as well 👌

Great info for potential residents! Regarding colleges, I went to FIU in Miami and would highly recommend it because it's a public university, so cheaper for residents and has some excellent programs including nursing, architecture and even law. You're dead on about the beaches in the keys, aside from that my personal take on it is the keys are more of a vacation spot or 2nd home, it's not for everyone as far as permanent residency. Keep in mind, Key West is a 3 and a half hour drive from the mainland of Miami and the job prospects there are limited to the hospitality field.

Do you have any advice based on age group? Like where do you think a hot spot would be for millennials to move to be around other millennials/young professionals? I ask this because I always hear about areas where it’s mostly older retired couples.

I do!! Not just because I live here, but definitely Miami. We have a lot of young professionals here, I am one of them, and there is plenty to do for fun here as far as meeting new people and going out etc. Tampa could also be a good choice, but definitely one of these 2 areas 👍

Hey Michael, we are looking to move to Florida in the next 2 months. My wife and i have 3 kids (5,10,13) and we were out a few time looking in the Tampa area (Fish Hawk) and really like it there, but we are courious about the East Coats side. I am an Insurance adjuster so i need to live closer to one of the big 4 cities, Miami aside where would you recommend for raising a family, safty, and still being able to enjoy "Florida" Thanks man
@MichaelBordenaro4 жыл бұрын
On the east coast side, I would check out West Palm Beach because that area is family friendly, affordable, still a pretty decent size city, and not too far from Miami if you need to go / visit occasionaly.

Hi Michael! Thank you for this video. My question is a bit off topic. Moving from state to state is a bit easier than moving from Canada. I dont have family in Florida but what's your best suggestion or step I should take moving from canada to florida?
@MichaelBordenaro4 жыл бұрын
You’re welcome Silva! The first thing I would say is of course to make sure you make the move legally. I’m not an expert in that so I’m not exactly sure what that might entail for you. But once you got that all settled down definitely come down and do a trial run living in the area you want to be in before making it permanent. I talk about that in this video here in case you missed it:kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYnMinuYodRlfdk 😊

If that is the case, I know this isn't the most economical solution, but hiring an immigration attorney will probably help you tremendously in getting your documentation in order and securing work👍.

I am a gay man and retiring early at 61. There's a lot I like about Florida... I've got a sister in Naples ... but, well, I'm reluctant to live in a red state. I've been out since the age of 18 and have only lived in "gay-friendly" cities (NYC, Philadelphia, Los Angeles). Are there any places, other than Wilton Manors, where you think I might find like-minded people and a friendly gay community? I've got two dogs so green space -- even city green space -- is important to me. I need access to culture. If you can help, it'd be much appreciated.

@@mylessilton7507 You’re welcome! For the most part yes I do recommend renting versus buying in Miami however it is highly dependent on your individual situation and the type of property you’re considering. There are still some situations here where it makes more sense to buy than rent but increasingly rare. Also a ton of realtors here do rentals so that should be no problem as well👍

What are your thoughts on buying land in Cape Coral and sitting on it until I build on it in 10 years when I retire from Massachusetts?
@MichaelBordenaro4 жыл бұрын
Good question! I think it's a good idea if 1. You are certain you would rather build your own house, than buy an existing one. And 2. You can afford to pay the property taxes and any other costs associated with it for 10 years. That does sound a bit far away, say for example, if the land cost you $50k and you are paying $700/year in property taxes then thats not so bad and would be a substantial savings over paying 100k for that same land 10 years down the road👍

There are many canal-front homes with Gulf access in Cape Coral; probably no vacant canal-front lots though. In 2010, a friend bought a very nice, 2000sf, canal-front pool home in Cape Coral for $90K. Today, it's $350K+

@@prettygirlus9008 I'm thinking of maybe not getting one directly on the Canal. I believe that a seawall is required and I am not sure how that affects Flood Insurance. There are also things like protected species. The City of Cape Coral is home to several protected species including the Burrowing Owl, Gopher Tortoise and the Eastern Indigo Snake. That can affect the ability to build on your own property if they live on it. Do you or your friends know anything about that?
