House number two. The neighbors parking their car on the grass next to the house. I would not even get out of the car to look. When you buy a house, you are also buying your neighbors. It wasn't until the late 1990's that Florida homes became truly modern with higher ceilings with better floorpans.
Liked house 1 until you said it’s in a flood plain, house 3, they need to put a window in the primary. From video I think it’s facing backyard where pool heater was, so no reason it should not have windows.
I loved house 1 and 2, I didn't care for house #3, I thought the layout of the house was weird and it seemed very dark and uninviting. My favorite was definitely # 1, I liked the fact that all the rooms had access to the pool.
House #3. Real estate rule: Do not buy a house on a street with a stripe. It indicates high speed through traffic and the 35MPH is nearly a suggestion. It will be a problem with loud monster trucks bikes and everything else. How do you maket a master bedroom with you windows or patio door? Definitely not legal.
Where I live (Oregon) flood insurance adds about $500 to the monthly mortgage. Is that true in Florida? If you’re paying cash is flood insurance still required? In my opinion living in a flood zone is just not worth it, no matter how great the property is.
Obviously, it depends on the property, but the last few that I’ve priced out added about $2000 a year. Flood insurance is not required if you’re paying cash. Thanks for watching and commenting. Let me know if I can ever help.
@@joshbryanrealtor thank you for replying! I’ve been binge-watching your home tours since I discovered your channel, and you mention hoa fees quite a lot. I know sometimes that covers community pools or parks, but if not those, what do hoas cover?
Lakeland is the fastest growing city in the state and one of the top in the country. The first property is under contract. Thanks for watching and commenting. Let me know if I can ever help.
Who Ever Bought this Home is going to have a lot Problems, First this is a FLOOD ZONE, Which means they have to have FLOOD INSURANCE, Which is Going Cost them a FORTUNE. This House is not Worth $429,000 , The Backyard is BAD, Repaved The Driveway, and Back Patio Concrete Floor. And What's up with 4 Sliding Glass Door, Plus the Bathroom has a Back Door. 3rd Home, The only that looks Good is the Kitchen, and that it. $388,000 If the Property Would have been Fixed up like it Should have, But Since it wasn't $348,000 is more than what they should asked for.
@@ijazmailbox7082 It's Not about Throwing Stones, It's about Common Sense. If you know that these Homes are in a FLOOD ZONE, Why put yourself in that situation. As You know about INSURANCE Companies can Cancel your Premium, Anytime you turned so many Claims in.

Awful house and very typical central Florida home of that period. Is that concrete block construction? Brick over wood frame would be rather unusual as the shingle roof. Normally, it would have been cement tile roof, terrazzo floors until about 1968 then carpet over bare concrete with vinyl tile in the kitchens and bathrooms. The kitchen would have had a dropped fluorescent panel ceiling which was super popular in the day. Probably shag carpeting, avocado or gold appliances and you can't miss the popcorn ceilings. Am curious about the mini split AC unit in that back bedroom. Indicates HVAC issues. Kitchen size was common on that type house. You can tell that it is a flipper house with all the HGTV cliches. The main issue are the 8 foot high ceilings are too low for todays buyers and there is no way to fix that. As mentioned before, the kitchen would have had a 7 foot ceiling with the dropped illuminated ceiling and the same with the bathrooms. The Florida room off the kitchen, those were always very dark and dreary especially in homes with a pool enclosure. Oh, the pot filler over the Home Depot range, tacky. They could have spent the money on putting under cabinet lighting instead. This first house is going to have a lot of issues that are covered up with the HGTV "stuff". I'd steer clear of that.
How can the #3 house count as a bedroom ( Primary Bedroom) with NO window(s). I thought that was illegal. To have a room to be considered a bedroom it must have a window and closet.... right? It is so dark, not cheerful, it's very gloomy and eerie in a sense. If the owners would add a window it would be more sellable and would attract many more serious buyers.
It is illegal. It looks as if a window was covered up probably to what was above the pool pump. Oddly, the closet door is where a patio door should be. Once again, incompetent home handy men who have no business remodeling.
I love the kitchen in this house

finally a realtor with a proper wide angle camera
🤣 Thanks! Let me know if I can ever help.
Wow the one that has not any windows in the master bedroom. I have never seen that ever. That’s why it’s so dark in the room.
I wasn’t a fan of that one. Thanks for watching and commenting. Let me know if I can ever help.
I love the floors in this second house to Josh and the bathroom kitchen
I love the house Josh

You could at least put in a couple of transom windows if you don't want to see the pool pump

@@ijazmailbox7082 mainly pools and parks, but some also include gated security, cable/internet, trash, basketball/tennis courts, etc.
I really like house number two.

These are going to be some tough sells given that they are in Lakeland. I would say look for clients from NJ, NY or maybe Cali.
