Hi Shawn, can you feature more homes under $300K in your videos? Not everyone can afford or wants to spend $400K and up on a retirement home. Thank you in advance.
We can put that on our list! Lots of content changes going on for my channel so you will begin to see more about affordable options all over the state! Thanks for the suggestion--super helpful to know what you'd like to see!
This was a fun video to watch. As I have expanded my social network since relocating to Goodyear, I have unexpectedly found myself spending quite a bit of time in Sun City. In fact, I have sat in the exact booth where you were filming in Georgia’s Café and bowled at the bowling alley. (I was unaware of the coconut cream pie and will definitely be having some next time I’m there.) One of my friends works at a Sun City rec center and is president of his small HOA there. Sun City has a unique charm, including its retro vibe which reminds me a bit of Palm Springs. It definitely has a nice sense of community despite being so large.
Oh my gosh look at you go! I actually really like George's but I'm kind of a cafe geek anyway. You're right about the retro vibe in Sun City. It really is a great place!
Hi there! Have been listening to your videos for a while now. I am planning on moving to Arizona sometime in 2025, my home is going on the market in February here in Payette, Idaho. I am on a pretty fixed budget and was considering an active 55+ manufactured home community, wanting to pay cash for home to afford those terrible lot leases. I am wanting a 2 bedroom, 2 bath something newer, no yard work, patio for flowers is great. I am 71, but very active golf, pickleball, and do CrossFit 5 days a week. I was in Arizona in October, I have two boys that live in Gilbert which is way out of my price in range. If could find a newer manufactured home in a very active community with no lot leases that would be a dream come true. I looked at Dolce Vita in Apache Junction, Montessa in Gold Canyon, Monte Vista in Mesa they were all very nice and checked off all my boxes for being very active. I will look at the one you mentioned in this video. Any ideas?
Hello and thanks for watching! I recommend avoiding ALL of the manufactured home areas. Even if you pay cash you'll still have the lot lease and it only goes up. There are good options in other places. Give me a call after the new year and I can see how we can help guide you!
I luv Sun City... awesome video.
Me too Chris! Thanks for watching!!
Hi Shawn, Isn't Social Security counted as income if someone wants a smaller mortgage amount, say $100K, then pays the balance in cash? I know Social Security earnings are not a "job", but I have never heard of someone getting laid off from Social Security. Thank you for your videos.
Great question! Yes. It can be counted! As long as someone has enough income and not too much in debt they are certainly able to get financing. The problem comes when people have higher debt and not much in SS income. They might not able to get financing. We just need to help people plan in advance to help avoid any problems.
we sold our parents house or selling it. It's in Sun City. It's no way that cheap it's $450,000. Both of my parents passed away in March and we have to sell their house. We had to update the carpet and we had to paint so it's on the market they live on Ventana Drive West in Sun City and we have their other house here in Oregon for sale. It's been on the market for two months and nothings moving so selling homes is taking a lot longer. I don't think anybody can get anything for 300,000 down there in Sun City, but maybe.
I'm sorry for your loss. Losing parents is hard! There are quite a few homes under 300K in the Sun City area. Lots in higher prices as well. I think you might be surprised at what is out there. We sell them to our UA-cam viewers frequently. Thanks for watching my channel!

You got it! Thanks for watching my channel!
@@Southwest55Plus I'm almost 59 still have a full time job. If I sell my condo I'd have about $160,000 cash what do you suggest? I'm in Miami can't afford homes $300,000 that you're mentioning. Wouldn't mind relocating
If you have 160K you could find something super inexpensive and pay cash or you could get a small mortgage with putting a chunk of the 160K down. Lots of ways to do it. Reach out to me if you'd like to toss some ideas around. I'm happy to talk it through with you!
@@Southwest55Plus thank you
