@@liorbrosh7127 Thanks a lot! I really appreciate you saying that. I try to do my best, without making it too fancy or complicated like you said. This is UA-cam, not Hollywood ✌️
Thanks for these videos. I’m moving from New Hampshire to Florida in May and found these to be extremely helpful in my search. Ended up with a 2 bed 2.5 bath in Melbourne for just over $1100. I will continue to keep watching your videos to continue learning about the state I will soon be relocating to. Thanks!
I love hearing stories like this! It really makes me feel like making these videos is helping people like yourself out there get educated and make better decisions about moving here. Sounds like you got a very good deal in Melbourne! My cousin used to live there, and I know it is a very affordable area. Thanks for watching 😀
Mike, another great video. Hope that life will return to normal as soon as possible. Having said that you do more videos on other Cities of Florida, real estate and which Florida City is one of the best places to live and etc.. other than that, excellent job.
Thanks a lot Brent! Yeah I hope it will be returning to normal sooner than later. I would like to actually go to other cities in Florida to make videos about them, but for now going to have to do the best I can from home. Glad you like it 😊
You've addressed so many great topics related to moving to Florida, thanks so much for that! I was wondering if you could talk about which is the best to do first - find the place where you want to live, or find a job first. This has been something I've done a lot of thinking and researching on, and I seriously cannot figure out which is the best option. It seems like the internet is divided when it comes to this topic. My boyfriend and I don't want to spend the time/money required to spend two weeks living in the city we might want to live in (as you suggested in one of your vids). So I was hoping you might be able to talk a bit more about this topic in a video. Thanks for considering this!
Thanks a lot Theresa! I can definitely put this idea on my list of videos to make. Of course, everyone will do things their own way, but it is an important topic👍
Awesome video Mike. I think the Jenson Beach takes the cake. When you can almost cast a fishing line from your balcony for $1700 a month with a gorgeous beach and ocean and nice apartment I would say that's an amazing find.
Thanks James!! Yes! Even I was surprised on the good deals that were available. I’m so used to the high prices here in Miami it’s amazing to see what you can get up the coast for much less money
Brilliant video. Again, spot on and very sensitive input in general. We were supposed to come over to Florida to check out potential places but bc of the COVID we had to postpone but at list now we can gather much more info. Thank you again.
Thank you very much! Yeah this virus is definitely cramping everything up. Pompano is pretty nice and safe if you live close to the beach. But it does have some rough areas, especially when you get closer to the highway. Best to stay East of US 1 if possible.
As you go further north up the coast of FL from Miami Beach, starting about, say, Port St. Lucie, the sand gets less white and less fine and the ocean gets less crystal blue/green. And some areas have increasingly shrinking and eroding beaches and have had to pump sand from offshore or truck it in to widen the beach (known as beach re-nourishment). I didn't see evidence of this in the photos, but when this occurs, rental prices drop.
Yes the sand quality can certainly vary by area, especially because of the beach re nourishment like you mentioned. Here in Miami Beach, they are currently doing that now (even though no one can go to the beach) but they did it my area already, and now we have even nicer sand than before. Super white and soft.
Michael, I really enjoyed watching your video.op One thing you might have overlooked is they advertise a cheap rent, then they nickel and dime of the renters. A surcharge if you have a dog,a parking spot and more... in any case good job can't wait to see the SW edition.
That's awesome Alain, really glad to hear you are liking the content! Yes that is always possible for there to be extra fees, but at least you can check into all that before signing the lease 👍. West coast edition was made a while ago, here it is! ua-cam.com/video/74ehh7MgkY0/v-deo.html
So i just watched the east coast rentals. I thought it would be cool if you did a west coast rental and there it was! I really enjoy your videos. Could you do a video on the differences between east/west coast? Such as the beach, weather, people, etc. Thank you
Awesome, Glad you found the West Coast version. Yes I was thinking about making a comparison video at some point. I think I would really like to take a trip back to the west coast again, to make that video, since its been a few years. But I like the idea!
Great idea for a vlog! A couple of quick things being from the Broward/Palm Beach side. There ARE some buildings on the beach in Lauderdale in a stretch called the Galt Ocean Mile. It's located between Commercial and Oakland Park Blvd and consists of an enclave of about 20 buildings. These buildings are right on the sand and have great features and amenities albeit probably most are out of reach as far as being "cheapest". They do have 1 bedrooms and studios though and this is a fantastic location, probably best in broward imo (I used to rent a 1 br there). Also, Riviera Beach is not a great place to live, I would stay away. Granted beachside is probably nicer but the city itself has a very high crime rate, one of the highest in the country. Love Hollywood, lots to do there and they have a boardwalk (called Broadwalk). If you speak French even better as there is a huge French Canadian population there. Hope this helps Michael!!
Thanks for jumping in Keto Beach! Since we both live down this way, it is good to hear from someone else and you have experience living up that way. All valid points, and helpful to anyone considering moving to the area 👍
@@MichaelBordenaro Thanks brotha! There's nothing like living right on the beach, this video does a great job of showing the diversity of areas up and down the coast. We are sure lucky living in paradise. Stay well!:)
@@BarefootVlogger You bet, there really is nothing like it. Feel very lucky to live this lifestyle. Really happy you liked the video and you be well too!
April on Florida's east coast is when the season has ended. The roads aren't so congested. The water is placid. I lived in Fort Lauderdale Beach. Two or three blocks from the ocean. I don't treasure being right on the beach, I guess as much as others. It can get downright nasty on the beach. I remember shooting a basketball in 30 (not the norm) mph winds.
When I first clicked I thought the video was vacation rentals but then realized it was permanent rentals. Is it possible to get a vacation rental video, top 10 east coast beaches? Thanks your videos are awesome
Yep they are all yearly leases 👍 I might do a vacation rental version eventually. I was waiting it out to see how well this video and the other one like it will perform. Happy that you enjoyed it!
I want to live a Margaritaville in Lauderdale !! lol !!! Spent a week there too. Loved it !!! @ days in a cabana and one at the beach..the rest day drinking !!lol !!
Where is the best to BUY on the ocean? this video been made yet? I'm planning on moving to southern florida soon. Love your videos! Thanks for all the guidance!
I'd like to buy condo on the beach, but on the gulf side for under 500k, where is that possible? Possibly Clearwater? I want a town with plenty to do (restaurants, movies, shopping etc) but not crazy busy like Miami.
It depends on the size of the condo you want, but Clearwater could be an option. I see there is not too much for sale on the ocean there for this price that is a 2/2 (just as an example). If you go a little south, there are many more choices by Indian Rock, and St. Pete Beach. This general area I think is going to be your best best as far things to do. Because if you go too far south, it is more retirement, and north of Clearwater is a lot more rural
Thanks a lot! I have actually been a realtor here in FL now for over 11 years. But I am feeling like I am on my way out. I really enjoy making youtube videos and the goal is to do it full time, hopefully in the near future. I have people asking me if I work different areas in FL outside of Miami, which I do not. So I am in the process of collecting leads now, and then selling to agents who want to buy them. Do you know anyone who would be interested / areas?
Michael Bordenaro Nice. I retracted after reading up. Nice work man. I’d say I’m in a similar position. Sold my RE brokerage a couple years back. Now allowing time and creative abilities to expand and scale 🤙🤙
I remember you saying that in one of your videos. I think this is the direction of the future. Real estate can be great, but for me the case has always been feast or famine and that gets old. And you are totally right! You get to be creative and do things in many different ways here on youtube. Wishing us both success on this new journey😎
Damn Florida is definitely much more affordable than I thought at least more than Cali 🤣🤣🤣 it gives me hope to relocate there in the future I wish my dream will come true one day 🙏🙏
Are you asking me to help you find a place? Sounds like you are looking in Miami. If yes please fill out this form and I’ll see what I can do! michaelbordenaro.com/moving-to-florida/
Good question, luckily I just made a video that should have some answers for you on cost. You can check it out here ua-cam.com/video/rR7WH6tU6ho/v-deo.html
Born 61 in Miami lived in Clearwater, spent 33 in Philly, now in NM.Want 2 Move 2 Ocala,fl. New construction looks easy+affordable 3 bed2bath2 car gar.Keep that Simi private pool in Coral Gables a secret PLS.
All nice apartments. These are not to rent for a year, almost all rentals are furnished apts. Places are mostly low populated , not many jobs, with the exception of Ft Lauderdale maybe. Good places for active retired people looking for 6 months experience in sunny Florida, I guess!
Actually at the time of shooting this vid, all these units were available for a year lease. And just because they are furnished does not mean they are only short term rentals. I have rented many units over the years to people for yearly leases that were furnished. But the job situation is a concern in some of these areas for sure, especially the more isolated ones.
Miami is expensive. Been there 2 times last couple of years. But I love Florida. Maybe someday I’ll move from Norway to Florida 👏🏻 Have been 2 times participated the Miami to key west poker run in early November with boats. Looking a little bit for fun at houses to buy on the country side in Florida because it’s a lot for the money 💰
Yep it is very expensive here in Miami, and that is why it did not make the list lol. Not even close. You can definitely get quite a bit of house for the money, if you buy a house in rural Florida. If you win a couple more of those poker tournaments, you might be buying one sooner than you think 😉
Mike, these are great videos. I was wondering if you could do an east coast, large pet friendly version? We have been looking for a year now to make a move, only to keep getting disappointed that most wont allow a 75 pound Black Lab dog. She is the sweetest dog, but most only allow little dogs if at all.
Thank you Stephen! That video will probably be a little too specific for me to make, but I can give you some pointers. I would say, to look into single family home rentals or townhouses. And if all else fails, you could get your dog certified as a service dog, and then the buildings will have to accept her👍
I did a video on that, but only for Miami Beach, I'll link it here. At that point, I think it usually makes more sense to buy, and in this video, I show examples of both: ua-cam.com/video/o8FUt8xl3iY/v-deo.html
trending in CA now>>HOA's making RENTeRS pay for renter's insurance on top of rent. Disgusting !! This can run a couple of hundred a month. I told my landlord 'The place is furnished !! IT is all your stuff ! Why should I pay for that? And on top of that it is NOT IN MY LEASE"....so what happened? The landlord raised the rent a few months later , raised it $300 a month. !! I moved.
The Pompano beach one looks like a real god deal for only $1500! So when someone signs the rental lease, can they pre-pay a number of months in advance?
Yeah it was! I doubt any of these are still available since I did this vid a while ago. But there other deals out there like it. You can definitely pay months in advance!
Interesting. ..and it appears in Fl most apts come with furniture. I would like to know is the monthly rent the total cost or do you have to pay for your own utilities, like you do in the north?
It's common for a lot of places to come furnished as sometimes they'll rent these places out seasonally and the owners will come use it as well. Most places do not include utilities when you're talking long-term leases that are six months or longer. But a lot of times on shorter term leases it's common to have the utilities included in the rent payment
Great overview.... But you really can't tell.much about a place by the photos...buildings have a community culture or "vibe"... Kind of neighbors, Unfriendly or loud, is the building kept clean, amenities updated ....interesting effort ....thanks
I totally agree with that. The point of the video was to just find the best deals I could. But you always have to check the place out to get the vibe 👍
I don’t work there as a real estate agent only in Miami Beach this video was more just for entertainment and showing people what you can get but I don’t work the Saint Augustine market
I will keep that in mind! I didn't want to get that specific for this first one, since a lot of people are considering moves all over Florida, not just down in the Miami area. But, I'll put it on my list 👌
Well some of them do come furnished, and it is common here to rent a furnished place if you wish. It usually will cost slightly more, but is very convenient to just move in with a few of your things.
I would like to see you do this list again, but keeping it strictly places that are NOT 55+ housing. I'm sure with how FL is and the looking around that I have done most of these are probably 55+
I don't think that will really be necessary. It's been a while since I made the video, but I remember looking at this when I was selecting the listings and try to stay away from 55 and older communities because obviously that singles out a lot of people. Almost all of them anybody could move to. It's just that all of these units I chose are in cheaper areas of Florida for the most part. Which was the whole point of the video 👍
I wouldn't go as far as to say that, but if I were you, I would at least visit and spend a few days there first, before choosing it. Make sure the vibe suits you and you feel comfortable👍
Hello Michael, would love to buy a condo on the ocean on the east coast. It has to be affordable looking under $300000 because the hoa fees are very high. Would appreciate your help. Regards
Hi Georgette, I really wouldn't be able to help you unless you were looking in Miami Beach. I have a colleague that can help up to about Boca Raton and south. If you think those areas might work, i can put you in touch.
Hey Good morning Mike. I talked to you the other day about a friend of mine you look somewhat like. Anyway? I have never been in Florida and do plan one day to go and check out parts of the state there. I also know from talking to people over recent years , that there are a number of people from the N.Y.C. and Boston areas that have moved down that way. So let me ask ? How's the Italian scene down there in Florida. Good Italian restaurants there to enjoy good food? Anyway your videos are pretty nice. I would love to bring my DJ business and partner out that way one day and play a DJ beach party once the virus stuff clears up that is. Anyway catch at another time huh? Ciao.
Hi Vince, yes I remember. There are some pretty good Italian restaurants down in Miami. I can't speak for the rest of the state so much, but we do have a quite a few good ones here, that are actually owned and operated by Italians from Italy. The DJ business, I know can be a competitive thing in Miami, but I would imagine there is more opportunity in other parts of FL. Thanks for watching and glad you are enjoying the videos!
Thank you, just discovered your channel....I live in Iowa but dreaming of retiring to the beach in Florida...Which of these communities would you recommend for a 66yr old widow?
Oh that is wonderful! It depends, are you planning on being very active down here in FL? Or are you more of the person who just wants to kick back and relax with the fellow retirees in the community? That would greatly influence the decision.
Michael, I finally get a company who want to hire in Florida. But i'm having troubles to find a reliable immigration lawyer to make all the papers properly. Do you know or recommend someone? Thank you for your awesome videos, It's helps me a lot with my decision to move and change my life. I'm from Argentina, I lived a few years in New Zealand, and for now, i'm stuck in China, waiting to do the paperwork.
Hi Pablo, that sounds like good news! Unfortunately, I don't personally know an immigration lawyer, so I wouldn't want to refer you to someone I don't know, and not have it work out for you. But there are plenty of them here. Sounds like that will be your last step and you'll be all set! Good luck my friend 👍
They may be able to be used as seasonal rentals as many of them are dual purpose and the owner will rent short term or long term. But all of them were available for a year lease.
Hello Michael Bordenaro, how you doing?.. I'm planning to move to Florida someday next year around June or July I'm not sure if I wanna buy or rent since I've been renting all my life in Brooklyn New York but I want something different the older i get and I'm getting tired of the cold weather here in New York. I don't wanna live near water and I definitely don't wanna live in Miami more like around Saint Aventura or Jacksonville but I would have to take a trip out there to see where I would like to move since I've only been to Miami Florida in 1997 and it was like for a week. I don't have kids and is just myself and my husband but eventually my parents will be traveling back and forth from New York to Florida so I'm going to need an apartment or a house of 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms bcus I'm tired of sharing 1 bathroom with 7 people in a 2 bedroom apartment. PLEASE HELP with some recommendations. Thank you

@@sexynica51082 Oh nice! Great to hear that, I will try to help you as much as I can. Just ask me something specific or if you want to talk to me one on one, I have a link for the call in the description
Hello@@MichaelBordenaro what are the cretivia for renting or buying a home and mainly the credit score. Is there public transportation and where in Florida bcus Idon't drive and never driven before? I also seen one of your video about the state taxes and I was wondering what things get changed with State taxes.
@@sexynica51082 There is no exact score you need to have in order to buy or rent a place down here. For landlords, it comes down to their preferences. For purchasing, the minimum you want to have is a 620 or greater in order to have a good chance of approval, and I will be putting out a video discussing this topic in detail soon! Florida does not have state income taxes, so that is something you don't have to worry about here
Great sleuthing Michael! Do you ever find one-month vacation rentals for individuals? I'm having a very hard time finding an affordable Studio condo that looks like a joy to stay at anywhere within 25 miles of Palm Beach that's ocean view, balcony, elevator Feb 19 to March19 for a working vacation. Can you help or recommend someone? Thanks for the great youtube clips!
No I don’t personally handle any type of short-term rentals. Also this video was shot before things got as crazy as they are now so it’s much more difficult to find a place like you see in this video
what about living on an all electric boat, are there good places to buy an ocean cruiser 30-40 footer, that you can buy to live on and rent a spot to house the boat?
Yes they are all long term rentals for a year lease, but the ones that are furnished sometimes are offered as short terms as well. But they will be more expensive for sure, and the amount of time varies on whats is allowed by the building and owner. 6 months or a little less is common. 1 or 2 months, less so but is possible in FL
Some places do come furnished. When you are looking for a place, just be sure to check the listing to see if it is furnished or not. And if its unclear, ask the realtor. Usually it is used by a previous tenant, so that is something to keep in mind if you are not comfortable with that. Of course, any unit that comes furnished, could have recently just been furnished, so that is another question to ask before looking at the place in person 👍
@@lillydejesus9510 Yeah usually when you see new construction pics online, it is staged or even virtually staged. Always just make sure furnished or unfurnished 👍
I just saw this video I was wondering if you work with people that are looking for a 3 month lease in the winter months we live in upstate NY so just wondering
Ha ha as soon as I read your comment I got up to go look to see where my knobs were set at LOL. The rectifier doesn't have numbers but my output is set at 9 o'clock which is basically like the master volume. It's loud but not too loud at that level any louder and you're right I'm probably out of here 😆
Thirty years ago, my first FL apartment was at 3000 S. Ocean Dr., Hollywood Beach, across the street from your no. 9 at 4001 S. Ocean Dr. listed at $2200/mo. Back then my 2/2 1400sf apartment was $700/mo with a wide, direct Intracoastal view. Oh, and your no. 10, Riviera Beach, "has one of the highest crime rates in America," according to neighborhoodscout.com www.neighborhoodscout.com/fl/riviera-beach/crime
Wow, that is a huge difference in price. Even since I have been here, the prices have gone up significantly. I know from experience too, that Riviera Beach is not the greatest area. But this video is not about that, it's about the best oceanfront deals 👌
I rent my place every winter and it is way nicer than this. 2k a month and it is pristine. Private beach, 20 minutes from downtown Old Stuart with great restaurants.
@@MichaelBordenaro I’ll send you the listing next time. It’s Miramar tower two jensen beach three bedroom pristine condition. Follow me on Instagram and I’ll send you my info shana westhoff

If that is your style then go for it!😀

Where is the best to BUY on the ocean? this video been made yet?
I'm planning on moving to southern florida soon. Love your videos! Thanks for all the guidance!
Havent made the buying edition yet, but it is on my list. Glad you love the vids, thank you so much for watching😀
thank you. i will start looking at the places you recommended
You're welcome, good luck finding a place!
I'd like to buy condo on the beach, but on the gulf side for under 500k, where is that possible? Possibly Clearwater? I want a town with plenty to do (restaurants, movies, shopping etc) but not crazy busy like Miami.
It depends on the size of the condo you want, but Clearwater could be an option. I see there is not too much for sale on the ocean there for this price that is a 2/2 (just as an example). If you go a little south, there are many more choices by Indian Rock, and St. Pete Beach. This general area I think is going to be your best best as far things to do. Because if you go too far south, it is more retirement, and north of Clearwater is a lot more rural
@@MichaelBordenaro ok I'll check those areas out, thank you!!!
@@gp4424 Yes check them out, I was looking and there seems to be healthy amount of options there 👌
Bro. Nice work 🤙😎
Thanks a lot! I have actually been a realtor here in FL now for over 11 years. But I am feeling like I am on my way out. I really enjoy making youtube videos and the goal is to do it full time, hopefully in the near future. I have people asking me if I work different areas in FL outside of Miami, which I do not. So I am in the process of collecting leads now, and then selling to agents who want to buy them. Do you know anyone who would be interested / areas?
Michael Bordenaro Nice. I retracted after reading up. Nice work man. I’d say I’m in a similar position. Sold my RE brokerage a couple years back. Now allowing time and creative abilities to expand and scale 🤙🤙
I remember you saying that in one of your videos. I think this is the direction of the future. Real estate can be great, but for me the case has always been feast or famine and that gets old. And you are totally right! You get to be creative and do things in many different ways here on youtube. Wishing us both success on this new journey😎
Michael Bordenaro 🤙😎
Love your videos. How about rentals in the west coast of Florida? Pensacola, Destin,etc. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Thanks! I did do a west coast version of this one, check it out when you have a chance!
Do the west coast, specifically the Tampa area!! Thats where I'm supposed to be moving in the next year or so
I did do a west coast version, you can see here: ua-cam.com/video/74ehh7MgkY0/v-deo.html
Love your videos
Thank you very much!
Love your content ! Thanks 🤙🏻
Thanks a lot Jesus! I look forward to putting out more great stuff for ya! 😀
Nice video!! Great job, thanks!
Thanks for watching Natalia!
SO helpful. Thank you!
Very glad to hear that! 😀
Wonderful video, would love to see what you can find on the Gulf side.
Thank you very much 😊 That one is coming next 😉
Damn Florida is definitely much more affordable than I thought at least more than Cali 🤣🤣🤣 it gives me hope to relocate there in the future I wish my dream will come true one day 🙏🙏
Oh yes it's quite a bit more affordable in Florida then California at least for now
@@MichaelBordenaro thanks for your work my friend I really enjoy your videos 🤗
@@seyab6567 I am super happy to hear that, its my pleasure to make these videos ✌️
2 /2 or 2/1 modern for a medical student going to Jackson M Hospital every day, from Boston? Top 2000$ maybe a couple of dollars more. All inclusive.
Are you asking me to help you find a place? Sounds like you are looking in Miami. If yes please fill out this form and I’ll see what I can do! michaelbordenaro.com/moving-to-florida/
good info. how much do these ocean front condos cost? im considering buying to rent as airbnb when im out of the country
Good question, luckily I just made a video that should have some answers for you on cost. You can check it out here ua-cam.com/video/rR7WH6tU6ho/v-deo.html
Born 61 in Miami lived in Clearwater, spent 33 in Philly, now in NM.Want 2 Move 2 Ocala,fl. New construction looks easy+affordable 3 bed2bath2 car gar.Keep that Simi private pool in Coral Gables a secret PLS.
All nice apartments. These are not to rent for a year, almost all rentals are furnished apts. Places are mostly low populated , not many jobs, with the exception of Ft Lauderdale maybe. Good places for active retired people looking for 6 months experience in sunny Florida, I guess!
Actually at the time of shooting this vid, all these units were available for a year lease. And just because they are furnished does not mean they are only short term rentals. I have rented many units over the years to people for yearly leases that were furnished. But the job situation is a concern in some of these areas for sure, especially the more isolated ones.
Miami is expensive. Been there 2 times last couple of years. But I love Florida. Maybe someday I’ll move from Norway to Florida 👏🏻
Have been 2 times participated the Miami to key west poker run in early November with boats.
Looking a little bit for fun at houses to buy on the country side in Florida because it’s a lot for the money 💰
Yep it is very expensive here in Miami, and that is why it did not make the list lol. Not even close. You can definitely get quite a bit of house for the money, if you buy a house in rural Florida. If you win a couple more of those poker tournaments, you might be buying one sooner than you think 😉
Yes for sure.. i am in market
Awesome, hopefully this video helped you then! I did a west coast edition of this video too in case you're interested
Make sure you get the building engineering inspection report before you sign a lease, sheesh
Yeah who knew that that would be a thing
Mike, these are great videos. I was wondering if you could do an east coast, large pet friendly version? We have been looking for a year now to make a move, only to keep getting disappointed that most wont allow a 75 pound Black Lab dog. She is the sweetest dog, but most only allow little dogs if at all.
Thank you Stephen! That video will probably be a little too specific for me to make, but I can give you some pointers. I would say, to look into single family home rentals or townhouses. And if all else fails, you could get your dog certified as a service dog, and then the buildings will have to accept her👍
So whats avail for 2500 to 3000. If I had that much to spend a month should I buy or rent?
I did a video on that, but only for Miami Beach, I'll link it here. At that point, I think it usually makes more sense to buy, and in this video, I show examples of both: ua-cam.com/video/o8FUt8xl3iY/v-deo.html
1700 unit id move in with my mans in a heartbeat if I lived in Florida
When you think about how high the maintenance is for the owner...renting for 1500 a month is great !!!
Yep, totally agree! That is the very reason I rent where I live too! It is simply cheaper
Hey Michael I got a video idea for U. You should do a video on homes or condos that a young couple could purchase earning 100k to 200k per year.
This video would be directed towards young proffesionals.
Yes, I like this idea, and I will probably tie it in with another similar idea I have. Thanks for the idea, I love when viewers give ideas😀
Excellent compilation
good job
Thanks!
Love this vid!
Thanks Karina😀
Liked & subscribed. Thx 😊
Awesome, thank you!😀
trending in CA now>>HOA's making RENTeRS pay for renter's insurance on top of rent. Disgusting !! This can run a couple of hundred a month. I told my landlord 'The place is furnished !! IT is all your stuff ! Why should I pay for that? And on top of that it is NOT IN MY LEASE"....so what happened? The landlord raised the rent a few months later , raised it $300 a month. !! I moved.
Oh wow, that is ridiculous!
I pay $925/month for a two bedroom in Cocoa Beach, FL (near Cape Canaveral) and I live 1 block from the beach. That is cheap.
Yes that is cheap!
I cant wait to see the west coast
You don't have to wait! The west coast version is here: ua-cam.com/video/74ehh7MgkY0/v-deo.html 😉
The Pompano beach one looks like a real god deal for only $1500!
So when someone signs the rental lease, can they pre-pay a number of months in advance?
Yeah it was! I doubt any of these are still available since I did this vid a while ago. But there other deals out there like it. You can definitely pay months in advance!
damn, amazing
What about the ones that cost like 500-700 dollars per month (not necessarily right on the beach but close)
I have had some requests for rentals on the low end like that, so may do a follow up on units like that in the future👍
Interesting. ..and it appears in Fl most apts come with furniture. I would like to know is the monthly rent the total cost or do you have to pay for your own utilities, like you do in the north?
It's common for a lot of places to come furnished as sometimes they'll rent these places out seasonally and the owners will come use it as well. Most places do not include utilities when you're talking long-term leases that are six months or longer. But a lot of times on shorter term leases it's common to have the utilities included in the rent payment
Great overview.... But you really can't tell.much about a place by the photos...buildings have a community culture or "vibe"... Kind of neighbors,
Unfriendly or loud, is the building kept clean, amenities updated ....interesting effort ....thanks
I totally agree with that. The point of the video was to just find the best deals I could. But you always have to check the place out to get the vibe 👍
This was helpful ! Ty
That's great, glad to hear that!
Do you know of any long term rentals in St Augustine
I don’t work there as a real estate agent only in Miami Beach this video was more just for entertainment and showing people what you can get but I don’t work the Saint Augustine market
Hi How about top 10 cheapest in south beach?
I will keep that in mind! I didn't want to get that specific for this first one, since a lot of people are considering moves all over Florida, not just down in the Miami area. But, I'll put it on my list 👌
Yea Zillow !!
Zillow has certainly made it a lot more difficult to make a living as a real estate agent, but it sure is handy for everyone else👍
Furniture is not included like a sublet, does it?
Well some of them do come furnished, and it is common here to rent a furnished place if you wish. It usually will cost slightly more, but is very convenient to just move in with a few of your things.
NICE TOPIC
I would like to see you do this list again, but keeping it strictly places that are NOT 55+ housing. I'm sure with how FL is and the looking around that I have done most of these are probably 55+
I don't think that will really be necessary. It's been a while since I made the video, but I remember looking at this when I was selecting the listings and try to stay away from 55 and older communities because obviously that singles out a lot of people. Almost all of them anybody could move to. It's just that all of these units I chose are in cheaper areas of Florida for the most part. Which was the whole point of the video 👍
Future north gets cool in the winter.
Excellent!!!! Ty!!!! ❤
So I’m guessing that as an American of Puerto Rican descent I would not be welcome in Jupiter? An honest question.
I wouldn't go as far as to say that, but if I were you, I would at least visit and spend a few days there first, before choosing it. Make sure the vibe suits you and you feel comfortable👍
Hello Michael, would love to buy a condo on the ocean on the east coast. It has to be affordable looking under $300000 because the hoa fees are very high. Would appreciate your help. Regards
Hi Georgette, I really wouldn't be able to help you unless you were looking in Miami Beach. I have a colleague that can help up to about Boca Raton and south. If you think those areas might work, i can put you in touch.
Satellite beach by Cape Canaveral is decent
Yes I like that area too!
Hey Good morning Mike. I talked to you the other day about a friend of mine you look somewhat like. Anyway? I have never been in Florida and do plan one day to go and check out parts of the state there. I also know from talking to people over recent years , that there are a number of people from the N.Y.C. and Boston areas that have moved down that way. So let me ask ? How's the Italian scene down there in Florida. Good Italian restaurants there to enjoy good food? Anyway your videos are pretty nice. I would love to bring my DJ business and partner out that way one day and play a DJ beach party once the virus stuff clears up that is. Anyway catch at another time huh? Ciao.
Hi Vince, yes I remember. There are some pretty good Italian restaurants down in Miami. I can't speak for the rest of the state so much, but we do have a quite a few good ones here, that are actually owned and operated by Italians from Italy. The DJ business, I know can be a competitive thing in Miami, but I would imagine there is more opportunity in other parts of FL. Thanks for watching and glad you are enjoying the videos!
Can you do an update on this one? Thanks!
Just did one about a month ago here ua-cam.com/video/-aecbR3c6Zw/v-deo.html
Hello, did any of these have HOA fees or is it possible to not have HOA fees?
Well they were all rentals so you don’t pay the hoa fee as the tenant, the landlord pays that
Love it!
How about a 2022-23 update for 2 week vacation rentals?
Thank you, just discovered your channel....I live in Iowa but dreaming of retiring to the beach in Florida...Which of these communities would you recommend for a 66yr old widow?
Oh that is wonderful! It depends, are you planning on being very active down here in FL? Or are you more of the person who just wants to kick back and relax with the fellow retirees in the community? That would greatly influence the decision.
Hi have you done a west Coast rental video yet thank you
Hey John, yes I did, it was made a couple weeks after this video, check it out👍
Which one does short term rental?
I'm not sure as that was not the point of the video. The video was to show regular long-term rentals available near the coast.
want to see cheapest icean front houses on east coast!
Good idea! I just might make it😊
Michael, I finally get a company who want to hire in Florida. But i'm having troubles to find a reliable immigration lawyer to make all the papers properly. Do you know or recommend someone? Thank you for your awesome videos, It's helps me a lot with my decision to move and change my life. I'm from Argentina, I lived a few years in New Zealand, and for now, i'm stuck in China, waiting to do the paperwork.
Hi Pablo, that sounds like good news! Unfortunately, I don't personally know an immigration lawyer, so I wouldn't want to refer you to someone I don't know, and not have it work out for you. But there are plenty of them here. Sounds like that will be your last step and you'll be all set! Good luck my friend 👍
Hey Pablo , I might be able to help.
@@lifeonwheels5756 sounds cool. Could you send me your contact or email? :D
Pablo Casañas well I’m not an immigration attorney. I was thinking more on the lines of a green card.
These are seasonal rentals! So they rent for double the price for the year
They may be able to be used as seasonal rentals as many of them are dual purpose and the owner will rent short term or long term. But all of them were available for a year lease.
Hello Michael Bordenaro, how you doing?.. I'm planning to move to Florida someday next year around June or July I'm not sure if I wanna buy or rent since I've been renting all my life in Brooklyn New York but I want something different the older i get and I'm getting tired of the cold weather here in New York. I don't wanna live near water and I definitely don't wanna live in Miami more like around Saint Aventura or Jacksonville but I would have to take a trip out there to see where I would like to move since I've only been to Miami Florida in 1997 and it was like for a week. I don't have kids and is just myself and my husband but eventually my parents will be traveling back and forth from New York to Florida so I'm going to need an apartment or a house of 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms bcus I'm tired of sharing 1 bathroom with 7 people in a 2 bedroom apartment. PLEASE HELP with some recommendations. Thank you

Hello@@MichaelBordenaro what are the cretivia for renting or buying a home and mainly the credit score. Is there public transportation and where in Florida bcus Idon't drive and never driven before? I also seen one of your video about the state taxes and I was wondering what things get changed with State taxes.
@@sexynica51082 There is no exact score you need to have in order to buy or rent a place down here. For landlords, it comes down to their preferences. For purchasing, the minimum you want to have is a 620 or greater in order to have a good chance of approval, and I will be putting out a video discussing this topic in detail soon! Florida does not have state income taxes, so that is something you don't have to worry about here
This site is dope thanks
That Mesa head though..ufff
Haha yeah its fun stuff😎🎸 If you ever care to see my play it, you can check out my instagram, I post some videos there
Great sleuthing Michael! Do you ever find one-month vacation rentals for individuals? I'm having a very hard time finding an affordable Studio condo that looks like a joy to stay at anywhere within 25 miles of Palm Beach that's ocean view, balcony, elevator Feb 19 to March19 for a working vacation. Can you help or recommend someone? Thanks for the great youtube clips!
No I don’t personally handle any type of short-term rentals. Also this video was shot before things got as crazy as they are now so it’s much more difficult to find a place like you see in this video
Thank you, Michael. I appreciate the response! All the very best!
@@ckarass1 you’re welcome!
what about living on an all electric boat, are there good places to buy an ocean cruiser 30-40 footer, that you can buy to live on and rent a spot to house the boat?
There are plenty of dark spaces you can buy and park your boat there and live there
Are those all long term rentals or could be rented for let’s day a month or two?
Yes they are all long term rentals for a year lease, but the ones that are furnished sometimes are offered as short terms as well. But they will be more expensive for sure, and the amount of time varies on whats is allowed by the building and owner. 6 months or a little less is common. 1 or 2 months, less so but is possible in FL
West coast Florida rentals would be great.
What about 1 bedroom 1 bath? I’m single looking to move to Florida. Thanks!!!
Forget about the Westcoast. I'm never going back.
It's not for everyone🤷♂️
Does furniture come with the apartments and is it new or from the previous tenant?
Some places do come furnished. When you are looking for a place, just be sure to check the listing to see if it is furnished or not. And if its unclear, ask the realtor. Usually it is used by a previous tenant, so that is something to keep in mind if you are not comfortable with that. Of course, any unit that comes furnished, could have recently just been furnished, so that is another question to ask before looking at the place in person 👍
@@MichaelBordenaroI have seen new construction homes that come with furniture. But it could just be staged.
@@lillydejesus9510 Yeah usually when you see new construction pics online, it is staged or even virtually staged. Always just make sure furnished or unfurnished 👍
I just saw this video I was wondering if you work with people that are looking for a 3 month lease in the winter months we live in upstate NY so just wondering
Unfortunately no. We can help people who are looking for a one year lease but not short times
You set that Triple Rectifier above 3 and play, you won't be living there long.
Ha ha as soon as I read your comment I got up to go look to see where my knobs were set at LOL. The rectifier doesn't have numbers but my output is set at 9 o'clock which is basically like the master volume. It's loud but not too loud at that level any louder and you're right I'm probably out of here 😆
Thirty years ago, my first FL apartment was at 3000 S. Ocean Dr., Hollywood Beach, across the street from your no. 9 at 4001 S. Ocean Dr. listed at $2200/mo. Back then my 2/2 1400sf apartment was $700/mo with a wide, direct Intracoastal view.
Oh, and your no. 10, Riviera Beach, "has one of the highest crime rates in America," according to neighborhoodscout.com
www.neighborhoodscout.com/fl/riviera-beach/crime
Wow, that is a huge difference in price. Even since I have been here, the prices have gone up significantly. I know from experience too, that Riviera Beach is not the greatest area. But this video is not about that, it's about the best oceanfront deals 👌
Those views are like 8k a month in California
Yep you're right! Crazy the contrast
I rent my place every winter and it is way nicer than this. 2k a month and it is pristine. Private beach, 20 minutes from downtown Old Stuart with great restaurants.
Too bad I didn't find yours when I made the video! That would've been pretty funny
