    Some things to consider about a property near the beach are: elevation - if the living space is less than approx. 17’ above sea level, the mortgage holder will require flood insurance which is expensive, CMU or masonry construction is always better than wood frame for both potential wind damage and also less potential for termites. Elevation is also a factor in buying wind insurance which is always a separate policy in Florida and very expensive. If you can pay cash for the property you can avoid both wind and flood insurance. Metal standing metal roofs are also better in wind mitigation than tile or composition (asphalt type) roofing and are reflective in lower wind insurance premiums. Tile roofs are kind of a hazard, because if the tiles break off in a wind storm they become projectiles. You need either impact resistant glass windows or metal/lexan panels to cover windows/openings during windstorms. I agree with you about HOA for single family houses. Especially the gated developments which means that all of the roads are private and must be maintained by the HOA. Very expensive.

    • @MichaelBordenaro
      @MichaelBordenaro  4 роки тому +6

      All valid and true points James. There are more expenses involved with houses like this but that is the price to pay in order to be near the ocean if that is what you want and it is always good to know if you are in flood plain, even if you do pay cash👌

    • @Columbus1152
      @Columbus1152 4 роки тому +10

      Pretty thorough advice, I would also add to insure any older (~25 y.o. or older?) homes on the water for replacement cost because if a hurricane eats your home, you'll have to build to current hurricane standards and that may mean building 8' off the ground.

      Always require an elevation certificate. check if you are in an impact debris zone. All of Pinellas County is debris impact. Check with building department on flood loss claims. see if the CRS rating for the community is. GET A COPY OF THE LOCAL FLOOD ORDINANCE

    Michael, this was good content - Lord knows I have combed over Clearwater and St. Pete for decent homes and one of the big issues with those locations is most of the homes are so old (50's and 60's), they have to be renovated to be viable, and when the flippers do, they want 300,000 + for near about everyone of them - no matter how close to the beach!

    Thanks for video! Looking to retire to Tampa area from NY in 2 to 5 years and on-line research doesn't result in much less than $500,000 to $600,00 for 4 bedrooms with enclosed pool/spa. Mosquitoes will eat me alive. Those CDD's, HOA's and taxes are ridiculous too but the older houses without them are not energy-efficient I guess and need updating. So frustrating. So many houses are too close to each other in Florida, can't play music outdoors. I don't want anything too close to the water whether it's a beach, pond, or river due to flood insurance, hurricanes, alligators, snakes, etc lol. I'm a city girl. I like music and the nightlife.

    Cape Coral has a population of about 250 K, mostly canals, and no beach that I know of, maybe something down near the Pine Island bridge, IDK. Nice houses there though, my sister lives there, and house prices have risen dramatically over the past 5 years.

    Watching your videos explains why my cousins kids were able to buy homes in Port Charlotte. You can get a decent house for a decent price. I don't like carpet at all, so it would come out.

As good of deals as these are, these areas are just simply not on that same level of demand as more popular spots in the U.S. Will be interesting to see if any of them do though, could be an interesting follow up video idea 👌

    Zillow it's a difficult app since they don't update the information often. Chances are that the home you really like is not available anymore. They just like to attack people so they call the agents in the site that pay a fee to be there. Also something very important to to look at it the association fee (HOA or association). Most of the times when the price is great the HOA is very high. There are many app out there that have updated info. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help!

      Its hard to say, because FL also has a fair amount of new construction, and I dont think Florida will be the most popular place to move forever.
