$1136 for lot rent is ridiculous.
Absolutely
It's an offer, like any deal, there are some who think it's cheap and some who won't.
Wouldn't touch it with that lot rent
There are many other opportunities and I'm sure there are some that meet your needs.
A month?
Thank you for posting this lovely home! I was intrigued until I heard the lot rent😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫. Now, I realize it has amenities and all but that’s insane 🤬. Not your fault but thanks again!
Glad you like the house, similar homes are available in less expensive communities and the point behind the video was to let you see what kind of home you can get for that kind of money.
Over $1100.00 for lot rent would change my mind in a hurry, that’s crazy.
HOLY SHI-! That lot rent just changed my mind!!!!!!!!
NP @sandrahoffman1958 , this is just one example of the many kinds of deals out there. Be sure to check out some of the other videos on the channel ua-cam.com/users/FloridaManufacturedHomeLiving as well as all the resources on our website: www.floridamfghome.com/

I wish I still had my two Florida homes. I bought them in the 80s for 56,000 for one and 22,000 for the one next-door good solid 1950s Florida homes I had to move in the 90s and sold them for about 150 each. They just both recently sold for close to $1 million eachhindsight
Was very interested until I heard the lot rent. Could afford but refuse.

Still under 2000/month
Way to expensive for lot rent !!! OMG !!!
Yes, Vero Beach is pretty expensive and that is one of the most expensive parks in the area; but not the most expensive by a longshot
First!
Came across your channel the other day and really appreciate the information. Thank you!
Subscribed!
Thanks for the kind words and you are welcome.
Lot rent is insane. Thats a mortgage payment!
In many states you can buy a small home in a suburban or rural area on that kind of mortgage. If that is what interests you than I say go for it!
$1136 lot rent?! GTFOH!
While on the high end, it is by no means the highest in the area.
There should not be any lot rent over 450.00 month.
I am astounded by the price of many things these days. I couldn't fathom eggs at $5/dozen and butter at $6/lb still shocks me. We won't even talk about chicken wings...
is that 1100 a month thats insane
It's not the highest in Vero Beach. But there are many other places to live that aren't as pricy.
That’s very low compared to where I live currently
Go up the road to Barefoot Bay in Sebastian cost a little more for the home but you own the land and hoa is $78. Lots of amenities
Certainly another option but a different kind of community and experience. Also a bit more hurricane exposure. I did a video on Barefoot Bay: ua-cam.com/video/4G_FcZOZv-E/v-deo.html
Rus, does that mean it will be hard or expensive to insure?
@@Trump424 Insurance is available. That's a large topic. I gave a summary in our last (free) workshop. If you want to be notified for the next one, sign up here: fmhla.mykajabi.com/mh-new-buyer
Are there any homes where you can purchase the lot with the home so you don’t have to pay the fees? The lot fee is more then half of my sis check
If paying lower monthly fees is high on your priority list why not look at Resident Owned Communities? Here's a list of videos to get you started: ua-cam.com/video/10eCCZjxyJ0/v-deo.html&list=PLITxS9iTEF0b9WqqQz6iFOAp9RNnWGFPg
@@RussellWatsonFMHL thank you.i enjoy your videos
Not exactly affordable, is it????
Affordable is a relative term. It's much more affordable than the $2,500/mo apartments right down the street or the homes in nearby HOA communities that start around $500K.
Thank you , Russ for another Terrific Video !.....Really nice home for the $$ !.......I wish the lot rent was lower.......Take care...
Glad you enjoyed it. There are similar homes in other communities with lower price points.
Concerned about lot rent.
Yes, that is one of the most expensive parks in the area.
$1136 is very expensive for renting a lot. A bit much for seniors. What is the HOA fee’s?
In that kind of community the HOA is voluntary. I think there HOA fees are 25 or $30 a year. It is a senior community and there are many seniors paying those amounts that live there now. But I get your meaning, it is very steep for somebody who just has Social Security.
@@RussellWatsonFMHL thank you for responding back.
Crazy lot rent. Problem is they just keep going up. Then what do you do? I lived in a park in AK. The rent kept going up every year. I was lucky , I was able to sell it. I bought a house. Cheaper monthly than the park and I Own it all.
Yes, there are options less expensive than Florida mobile home parks. Just not in Florida...
Yes please
It's here! The Workshop is available! fmhla.mykajabi.com/mhb-workshop-youtube
Thanks for all you do. I would love to retire in Florida. This is an inspiration.
You can do it!
You lost me with the lot rent.

We lived in the Hamptons Country Club in Auburndale and loved it, but moved out due to the rent increases every year, and insurance. We now live in Oklahoma in a house for less than half of what we were paying in Florida@@RussellWatsonFMHL
@@melvinjacobs2328 No question there are cheaper places to live in the country. When you sold your house in the Hamptons someone else moved in who I assume thought it was a good deal. Sounds like everyone won.
Roof is original no homeowners insurance company is going to insure the house with 19 year roof. Needs a new roof from financing.
Citizens requires an inspection if the home is over 20 years old. Others may be more stringent.
@@RussellWatsonFMHL I think Citizens is not insuring Snowbirds homes anymore, with their latest requirements to reduce the number of policies. The whole insurance mess was a major factor we sold out and left FL.
@@muskyful Glad you found something that works for you. I was just talking with an insurance VP and I can assure you many companies insure homes owned by snowbirds. Depending on where you live, it has gotten expensive though. But so has everything else.
Good to put it out there at least. Mr. Rogers kinda feel. "Look her comes the mailman. I know you like the mailman."
Lot rent is too high!

Newport TN, $200.00 -$300.00 lot rent. Now that's affordable.
Do they have resort communities in TN for those kinds of lot rents?
@RussellWatsonFMHL absolutely, they have four communities. People are moving over there from all over the states.
@@christinavalerio2423 That sounds really nice. There are many states cheaper than Florida. Especially the areas in Florida close to the beaches. If lot rent under $450/mo is your prime need the southern half of Florida is not going to meet your needs unless you get into a resident owned community. I have seen those as low as $75/mo.
What communities in Newport are you referring to? I would like to investigate them. Thank you.
@DLTJR1959 Incredible Tiny House is owned by Randy Jones and Amanda Hayes Newport, TN
For a little more than that lot rent you can buy a small house and own the land. This community looks outdated with depressed neighbors who can’t afford to live there anymore. Geez 🙄
Well, maybe in Mississippi or one of the other Midwest states. Financial factors certainly play into such a decision but most coming to these communities could afford either option.
Very good video, I'm moving to Florida soon, I work with buying, renovating and selling properties in Brazil. Do you believe it is a good business to specialize in mobile homes? I would appreciate it if you could respond. Congratulations on the work!
There certainly are folks who do well with mobile homes. I don't really know what might be good business for you.
$1136/mth this year ...how much more in 5 years. Who pays this AND pays for the home TOO. Couldn't you just join a country club instead?
Sure you could join a country club. Homes start around $700,000 and up. Monthly HOA fees will run you $2 to 3000. A better choice might be a manufactured housing HOA subdivision. We cover those in our program. Something like that could run you maybe 200,000 for this home with the land. Monthly HOA fees might run you 3 to 500. It all boils down to your financial goals and condition assuming this type of lifestyle is your dream.
Vero is one of the best towns in Florida. Prices for living in TN and OK are not relevant. They are worlds apart in terms of weather, culture, safety and tropical coastal beauty.
The lot rent is high. I would find a place to rent for $2500 a month and not pay the $100k then move on in a couple of years for a new adventure.
Certainly an option. But another scenario along the same financial lines would be to spend the $100K, spend the 32K on lot rent (vs $60K on a straight rental) and then sell the home. You could take a $28K hit on the sale price and break even; but in fact manufactured houses in these communities are actually going up in price so if you sold it for what you paid you would be $28K ahead in two years. That's besides the amenities and other advantages of community living.
Hi Russ, have you heard of a place called the Polynesian Village in Englewood it is an HOA Community it looks really nice going to check it out next month
Let us know how it looks to you.
I would like to see you do some videos on low expense lot for rent.
If you are looking for low lot rent and that is your primary criteria take a look at my coverage of R/V parks in my video on Zephyr hills. R/V parks generally have much lower lot rents. Just keep in mind, once you get well below market rate, the risks increase. The lowest and safest rents (really not lot rent) are found in Resident Owned Communities. I have lots of videos that feature those.
@@RussellWatsonFMHL I will check them out. Because it doesn’t make any sense to me at all to pay $1200 for rent.
@@ms.rickie And that's exactly the outcome you need. Something that fulfills your dream and meets your needs.
We are looking on the Gulf Coast between Clearwater and Tampa water front. Would appreciate some communities in these areas. Thanks Russ!
Recommending parks is like recommending cars. Everyone has a different budget, tastes, and goals. Factors such as area, proximity, amenities, age, home prices, lot rent, etc. create too many variables. My ideal park, just like my ideal pair of shoes, won't fit you. You need to identify your needs, narrow down your choices, and then contact the park(s) to see what's available. We go into this much deeper in our MH New Buyers course, Sign up to be notified of the next course availability here: fmhla.mykajabi.com/
I could afford to by a gently used manif=mobile home. BUT the lot rent these days is ridiculous. Hard pressed to find a month lot rent under $1,100. I don't have a need for a golfing community , a pond with water or water view , I really don't need a community to offer happenings for me to join. I just need an affordable home to live . I only net 1,300.00 a month on SS & I am by myself, so that would take MOST of my SS check
You can find resident owned communities with monthly fees under $200. Even less if limited amenities.
the +1,000 $ rent fee is way too much for me, but I i do appreciate the video and will see of any cheaper "fees" come up.
There are many alternatives in terms of parks. The point behind the video was to take a look at a waterfront home in a resort park.
$1100 per month lot rent leaves us out.

I see some 55plus parks by daytona with $1400 lot rents
Yes, it is becoming more common. But there are also equivalent parks in other areas that are much less. Getting the info to folks to make an informed decision is the purpose of our MH New Buyer program.
Yes Mr. Watson, Your videos have HELPED ME a lot to clarify things for me. I have signed up for your programme and am in the process of selling our single family home in Utah, taking the proceeds to buy a reasonable MH in the ormond beach area preferably in a 55+ colony. I am 59, wife is 65 and i would like to find simple work as well in the area. Thank You Sir for all that you do to help people like us. @@RussellWatsonFMHL
Do they let you feed the birds? Plant flowers, feed the humming birds?
Many folks have flower beds around their homes. Feeding humming birds should not be a problem. Many communities do not allow feeding wild animals and that may include birds. If this is important too you be sure to ask, via email or in writing, before you buy. It's not the feeding of the birds that's the problem and unlike northern climates, natural food is always available to them. The problem is the spillage of seed will bring rodents in from the surrounding areas as they love birdseed.
Give it up, you can't convince us. The lot rent will always kill the deal.
We each have our own ideas but that house sold in no time as do most, if not all, in that community. If lot rent kills the deal for you, you should consider Resident owned communities (if community living appeals) or a home on acreage with no rules, no restrictions, and no lot rent.
Top loaders wash better.
LOL, thanks - maybe it was front loaders use less water...
I agree top loaders better
$95,000+ for a mobile home is nuts. They are expensive to maintain, hard to insure. And $1,136 a month lot rent? That is 3/4 a retiree's income. Someone got out-priced. The home is only worth about $42,000 tops.
Homes are priced to market just like eggs and butter. I can't believe the cost of going to the grocery store today. There was a time when you could afford these homes on just Social Security but that ship has mostly sailed in FL. I'm told there are still a few affordable parks in Tennessee though. Maybe it will all come back down but so far, they keep going up and folks keep buying them.
The American Dream is pretty much over and I feel sorry for the younger generation because you’re either gonna be dirt poor or filthy rich communism at best
Great video … are there any communities on the St John’s river?

at least you had the guts to say what the lot rent is...lol...talk about giving up control of your property. they can make the lot rent anything they want at any time. and they probably dont let you rent it out so now you're in a box for life...
Those are common misconceptions. This is why I developed Florida Manufactured Home Living - to provide factual data and let folks make educated choices.
1100 dollars a month is not a misconception
@@lkj781 Nope, at the time this video was made it's a fact. To some that's a cheap price for value received. Others choose something else, sometimes less, sometimes more. Then there are those that can't afford it and it's simply not an available choice. There are over 700 homes in this community and typically 5% or less are for sale. (In 55+ communities there is some turnover that is inevitable) BTW, they cannot make the lot rent anything they want, at any time...Not in Florida anyway.
They have limits on how much they can raise the lot rents in Florida and insurance is a bigger concern for me at this time
if they have limits how did some lot rents ever get to 1100 or even 1300 a month? the limits dont seem to be working...
Do you have any advise for lot rent adverse buyers.
Sure,
There are CoOps, Condominium manufactured home communities, along with HOA and non-HOA subdivisions. These have much lower monthly fees. If you want to avoid an organized community altogether, there are many manufactured home subdivisions offering houses at half the price of stick built. Here are some videos on those topics:

Please do a video for all age parks
I can add that to my list of projects, Thanks for the suggestion!
