I’m in Ohio and the housing market here over the last 7-8 years is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Homes that were bought for $130K in 2015 are now being sold for $590k. I’m talking about tiny, disgusting, poorly built 950 square foot shit boxes in quiet mediocre neighborhoods. Then you’ve got Better, average sized homes in nicer neighborhoods that were $300K+ 10 years ago selling for $750k+ now. Wild times.
Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes.If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

It is difficult to make exact projections for the housing market as it is still unclear how quickly or to what degree the Federal Reserve will reduce inflation and borrowing costs without having a substantial negative impact on demand from consumers for anything from houses to cars.
If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone wants to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.

Housing prices likely won’t drop significantly until supply increases. The U.S. is short millions of housing units and isn’t building fast enough. Demand remains high, and even a small dip in prices attracts many buyers. I’m looking to buy affordable houses in August and maybe invest in stocks. When’s the best time to invest in stocks? Some say it’s profitable, but others warn it’s risky. Any advice?
Consider buying stocks when the economy is not doing well, like during a recession. It could be a chance to buy them at a lower price and sell later when prices go up. Just keep in mind, this isn't financial advice, but sometimes it's better than keeping a lot of cash.

My friend is 96 pounds and in very poor health. He just lost his brother and mother. His tenants weren't paying rent to begin with, but he just learned they stole his deceased mother's jewelry. He shot at both of them, just hit the female. He's a veteran who's never been arrested in his life and is now facing two attempted murder charges. I doubt he can survive in jail. Unless you know what you're doing, skip renting to others.
What were the tenants doing in his house? Sounds sus to me. Sounds like he just went and shot them. Of course he is going to face attempted murder charges, you can't go around shooting people just because you have a dispute with them. That is illegal.
Emotional people don't use their brains and get trapped by scammers. I think these tenants scammed their landlord and will stay rent-free while landlord Withers away in jail. The only way you can survive in this world is to out scam the scammers.🤔🤠😎

Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.
If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow.

consider moving your money from the housing market to financial markets or gold due to high mortgage rates and tough guidelines. Home prices may need to drop significantly before things stabilize. Seeking advice from a financial advisor who understands the market could be helpful in making the right decisions.
LOL I live here in Florida. Yeah, inventory is crazy and so is the Insurance, etc... Big mess here right now. Hi Lisi! Thank You Michael and Happy Thursday!
Some people don't care about "value" -- buying a property/house isn't an "investment" for them, so none of that matters. They move to other states (like FL) for other reasons.
Yeah especially along the coastal regions. Way overpopulated, insurance is too high, and traffic is terrible all year round now. It's no longer seasonal traffic. Worse when schools are open. Took me an hr yesterday to get from north fort myers to Lehigh acres at 7am.
I bought a very nice 2006 built $560k condo dream home for $240k cash after 2008 housing crash for my second home. I don’t work and water taxi,Uber,walking,bike,shuttle,neighbors,grocery delivery,Amazon,etc. so don’t need a car there. Can’t complain. Still a waiting list to live here.
Florida does not gives raises. Not even it’s government. No COLAS. No step raises. There has been a big decline in regular workers getting paid raises due to money suckers sucking up over $300,000 per year as a small town police chief, the highest paid in the state. He can’t stop one crime in his tiny district. Volusia County Sheriff needs to get involved, DAB police chief loves knives but not guns. There are eat more knife crimes in DAB.
I’m in the upper keys in an x flood zone. Citizens told me I had to buy flood insurance even though my house has never flooded in the 65 years it has existed. I own free and clear and in 2018 I redid all my windows with hurricane glass. I dropped my Citizens policy altogether because the deductible was going to jump from $17.5 k to $25k and premium was going to go up $1.5K to $7.5K + I was also told I would have to kick in another $2.5K surcharge assessment due to all the damage Ian did causing a drain in Citizens payout cash pool.
What about Louisiana? You can get houses there for $100,000 - $300,000 in places like Lafayette. Same with Mississippi and seniors don't pay property taxes.
Seniors can afford property taxes other places. Whom pays for the stuff the seniors taxes would have paid for? Non-seniors? Or do they just get nothing?
Louisiana is the the only state where real estate depreciated YOY since the pandemic. People don't want to move there and real estate reflects that. Mississippi? Why would anyone move there? Both of those states have horrible standard of living and poor healthcare services.
All your videos are common sense financial realities, but people, like my neighbor here in San Jose, will still vote for people that will continue those policies. Insanity.
@@capitalismftw Possible but unlikely... Also I can afford whatver happens... I like the agile nimble benefits of being a renter... IF I fall in love with a place that may acclerate things...
@@capitalismftw exactly. That’s thought process too. I can attest that things are gonna get harder not easy. So do what makes you happy in the moment and ride the waves as they come.
I feel you. Because of Hurricane Ian, many properties in SW Florida have been underwater, and no one wants to buy in that area. This is why there are so many homes for sale in that area. good job
Why would anybody in their right mind when I move there? Just think how much the insurance goes up every time there’s a hurricane. Move there if you like selling timeshares.
A big shout out to Lizzy! Good to see you again. I couldn't tell if you were wearing a top or a dress, either way it was absolutely beautiful!! The colors were gorgeous! Hope you're enjoying your stay in CA. 🥰
Don't you worry, we just got home from Kentucky and we are moving up there. Florida has turned to hell the last 4 years. We are going broke trying to pay our bills. Home insurance is insane, car insurance is costing me right at 1k per month now! Traffic is at a standstill for miles every day in Kissimmee taking you an hour to get to work in Orlando or wherever. My wife is a doctor and they are paying her MORE to go up there than they do in Orlando. It costs half the price to live up there, people are friendly and there is zero traffic. They may get 1 or 2 snows a year up there so there is no reason to stay here anymore. I was born and raised in Florida and even my wife is like let's go!!! More money in our pockets each money and much friendlier people and zero traffic. She is actually excited and will start at the end of the year. Do not move to Florida unless you are balling or want to be broke trying to afford the basic stuff. It's turned into a disaster.
you're not wrong. i seriously do not understand how folks can live a happy lifestyle living in/near Kissimmee. Exponential traffic, the rudest of tourists, cannot get a good meal/service in that area ... it's a whole different world here in St Pete compared to there, not sure how people do it, I couldn't!
My wife is also a doctor and we did something similar 3 years ago. We lived in Houston, which I'm from and will always have a special place in my heart, but admittedly it is a hot, humid, ugly traffic infested city of insane urban sprawl, prone to flooding and hurricanes that has become surprisingly expensive to live in. I work remote and the wife got a job up in Richmond, VA, which is a mid sized city with plenty of decent enough amenities - the James river, hiking, minor league baseball, etc... there is little to no traffic there and you are a 1.5-2 hour drive from Virginia Beach and Shenandoah National Park. You can also easily drive up and down the east coast to NC, SC, FL, or the north east cities like DC, Philly, NY, and Boston to visit and then GTHO of them. Get more real seasons here but not snow more than a couple times per year. Humidity is not nearly as bad as in the south. It's a really underrated place to live.
I’m an environmental engineer and work out of Orlando was born and lived in Florida my whole life and let me tell you how frustrating it is knowing I cannot even afford most homes in the Orlando area and I make 75K a year before taxes. Not even areas like Bithlo or Christmas are that affordable anymore. They’re selling mobile homes for 250K and up. It makes me sad because I love Florida and provide potable water services and sanitary sewer designs to areas all around central Florida but cannot even afford to live here. Anyways sorry about sounding negative just really frustrated. I have been watching your channel for a while and love your channel and all your information you share with your audience. From one Michael B. to another keep up the great stuff!
Yea your not the only one that noticed that. Or is it sulfur rotten egg smell. Would not drink it but I don't even like bathing in it when i visit down there at a little " camp" I I stay at.
Lived in Myrtle for over three decades and seen a lot of bubbles this one is no different; Myrtle used to be great now it's become like any other shitty city.
Mortgage free home, we’re staying put. Low flooding potential. Quiet area. Reasonable taxes and insurance costs. Auto was less but not by a lot when we lived in NY. If insurance costs booms, we’ll have some thinking to do. We are retired and on fixed incomes. Reside in Sebastian. Nice seeing you Lisi. You miss the dogs? Hope to see you on a walk again.
Seeing plates from Maryland, Jersey, New York, North Carolina is such a odd ball for me here being a FL Baby. Born and raised here in Orlando, central Florida. As a 23 year old in project management, I can see the truth in a lot of things and watching your videos has definitely helped me grow alot more educated on our economic system etc etc. thanks for another great video! 💯 can’t wait for the next!
A long time ago a guy could get a job at GM right out of high school with good pay and retirement. Technology has destroyed the good way of living. I don't see how this can go on for ever without a breaking point.
ummm. tech has exponentially improved quality of life/making a great living, and made life more safe for skilled labor. perhaps more importantly, folks are realizing they do not have to be miserable their entire lives standing on a production line literally doing the same thing for decades. while some people find comfort in monotony, it's certainly not for everyone, and the workforce data shows this.

Hi Michael, our Florida home insurance is being assumed by Slide insurance this year as part of their 15K, hope they will be good. My State Farm broker could not stop the transfer this time, and he had kept us with Citizens for 10 years, but cannot any longer. Sure hope they can be on the up and up, our rate is very low and we are one of the lucky folks grandfathered into this nonsense of real estate. We have had flood insurance for quite some time, since we are so close to Tampa Bay and storm surge. We also have wind mitigation discounts on our storm shutters and roof straps so we feel our home is pretty hurricane proof. Luckily also we have avoided the flooding from this year's rainy season storms, it's a wild one! Take care great channel.
Sorry to say... but we prefer when you do the videos by yourself, which has been your standard format. Unless of course you are interviewing someone, or presenting data along with someone else.
Most of the homes that are "priced to sell" are in areas where property taxes make them unaffordable even at the much lowered price. Doing searches by property taxes is pretty revealing.
@@dondgc2298 That's your banks choice, not the state. Also doesn't change my point, at least you have options, something you don't have in a high tax state.
My parents owned property from West palm to Englewood. Nice in winter but summers were for me. Let's not forget about the NOSEEUMS. They are such a joy as you stand in your grass.😂
And they are out!! I keep a can of REPEL MAX on the window sill. A couple squirts of that and it’s fine. Don’t go out without it this time of year when working in my yard!!
Michael, what I don't understand is that Florida has been a state of extremely hot temperatures and what used to be a regular hurricane season. I never understood why people would risk living there. And building skyscraper condo-buildings that faced daily salt sprays from the ocean. always made me question the logic. What am I not getting right here? 🤔🤨😕
There's a recent story in St. Pete where a lady just moved to Shore Acres, bought a $8000 flood policy from NFIP and flooded from tropical storm Debby. Claim was denied because the prior owner flooded and didn't fix anything after receiving the claim check. All the appliances were just cleaned up I guess because she submitted the claim with the same serial numbers as prior damaged appliances.
@@Resmith18SR that is why I like it but for just days maybe a week at a time have you noticed all the. Most popular cities to live in have been destroyed by crime( especially poor ol San Francisco lol it just seems like the politicians are purposefully trying to drive people out of those cities 🤔
Everything will be fine in Florida. People like to talk a lot of trash about Florida but just wait till it gets cold. Insurance rates are coming down. Property tax rates are adjusting lower with lower prices from the peak. The condo crisis is way overblown. Most condo buildings have already been inspected and have passed. Inventory is actually dropping in many markets. Hurricane Ian is now a distant memory for everyone except those on fort Myers beach. SWFL has already adjusted down from the peak. Relax it’s all fine.
Too many weather events there and flooding. It's not fine with all that inventory sitting on the market. I've spent time in West Palm Beach. It's nice, but not at those prices.
Uhh my car insurance in FL went from 577 a month to 924 a month living in Kissimmee. It's definitely not going down at all. It's a nightmare here in Kissimmee.
@@Acc0rd79 Worse, yet, there are plenty of new condos being built in Kissimmee. This was back in Feb, they are probably on the market now. Overcrowding.
Florida is awful. It does a good job luring you in because it looks cheap on the surface but they lower the boom once you get here. They well reassess your house a year after you buy and double to triple your property taxes. Your auto insurance will double the minute you move here because of all the uninsured motorists they do absolutely nothing about. Your homeowner insurance will double at each renewal to cover all the sleazy roofing contractors scamming them. Then they drop your policy once your roof is 10 years old until you get it replaced.The state lets Auto dealers charge $999+ dealer fees just for the displeasure of doing business with them. HVAC contractors rip every one off. Its a grifter state filled with a bunch of transients.
More than 50% of Miami Dade county residents are foreign born , sick of hearing about Cuba , Venezuela , Russia & Ukraine on the beach and every place else , they still speak English at the VA hospital though - didn't used to be this way [ lived in South Fla since 1952 ] .
We sold our SW Florida condo in Estero in 2016 and moved to the high desert. We lived in a beautiful golf/gated community. We only paid $163,000 for the condo in 2001. Insurance and HOA fees were reasonable during our entire time there. A few years after we moved to the high desert, hurricane Ian hit. During our 15 years we never had a flooding or hurricane issue of any kind. The storm surge from Ian put 4-5' of water in every ground level condo in our community, essentially destroying everything. It took some people well over a year to get their place repaired and occupiable. Now, prices are too high, insurance is too high, and HOA dues are too high. We loved our time in Florida but are lucky to have gotten out just in time.
I was in S. Fort Meyers Beach last week & still lots of damaged hotels and homes after close to 2 years later. Ian really smacked that area unfortunately.
@@jayelder9725 We've been back to the FMB and Sanibel Island areas and the damage is still very evident, and the reconstruction will take years. The entire area was decimated.

Hiiii there!!! Thank you so much!🩷 It was a fun back-to-back!☺️😎 Actually no, I got that hat for $25 at a Miami Beach souvenir store.🤭 It was on sale and just perfect bc I wanted one with UPF 50+ protection.😉
I love Lizzys hair, it is so beautiful. I moved to FL after high school and stayed until Hurricane Ivan devastated my town. It scared me so bad I left and have never returned. LOL Homes back then were expensive for the time, but didn't have these high insurance rates and property tax. I can't believe the gov there is letting this insurance gouging go on like this. I feel bad for the Floridians. Something needs to be done. It's like the De'Santis left for a year to campaign and all the vultures pounced in his absence and he hasn't fixed it yet.
How horrible it would be, to leave a 3000 ft forty year old home in Tenafly and give up that 66k real estate tax bill, state income tax, NY and NYC Income tax, and have all that extra money
Too expensive, hot, termites, giant flying roaches, sinkhole, hurricanes. I'll take the way cheaper cost of living, lots of fresherwater lakes and rare tornadoes. It only floods in the concrete jungles so good there. I can go about anywhere and there's another lake. The politics there are better. I give you that. Winter here is a break from bugs, yardwork, gardens are done. Relaxing by the woodstove which heats the whole house.
@@JNoMooreNumbers You're in New Hampshire or Delaware. Too many democratic policies up there. It's also too cold in the winter. Most people don't want either of those things.

My friend is 96 pounds and in very poor health. He just lost his brother and mother. His tenants weren't paying rent to begin with, but he just learned they stole his deceased mother's jewelry. He shot at both of them, just hit the female. He's a veteran who's never been arrested in his life and is now facing two attempted murder charges. I doubt he can survive in jail. Unless you know what you're doing, skip renting to others.
Not a good situation.😮
Can't trust anyone nowadays, not even your own relatives husband or wives, lots of infidelity around, no one is contrnt!😮
🙏
What were the tenants doing in his house? Sounds sus to me. Sounds like he just went and shot them. Of course he is going to face attempted murder charges, you can't go around shooting people just because you have a dispute with them. That is illegal.
Emotional people don't use their brains and get trapped by scammers. I think these tenants scammed their landlord and will stay rent-free while landlord Withers away in jail.
The only way you can survive in this world is to out scam the scammers.🤔🤠😎
You two look like a happy couple. It is the best thing you can have in life. I have had a happy marriage for 60 years. Cherish it.

Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.
If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.
consider moving your money from the housing market to financial markets or gold due to high mortgage rates and tough guidelines. Home prices may need to drop significantly before things stabilize. Seeking advice from a financial advisor who understands the market could be helpful in making the right decisions.
I’ve been looking to switch to an advisor for a while now. Any help pointing me to who your advisor is?
Her name is Annette Christine Conte can't divulge much. Most likely, the internet should have her basic info, you can research if you like

I don't understand buying in Florida. Unless you're talking about North Florida, there's just no value in real estate there. Overpriced.
Some people don't care about "value" -- buying a property/house isn't an "investment" for them, so none of that matters. They move to other states (like FL) for other reasons.

Thank you for all this valuable information
I’m in the upper keys in an x flood zone. Citizens told me I had to buy flood insurance even though my house has never flooded in the 65 years it has existed. I own free and clear and in 2018 I redid all my windows with hurricane glass. I dropped my Citizens policy altogether because the deductible was going to jump from $17.5 k to $25k and premium was going to go up $1.5K to $7.5K + I was also told I would have to kick in another $2.5K surcharge assessment due to all the damage Ian did causing a drain in Citizens payout cash pool.
Good luck sir.
Is your house Finished Floor Elevation 14' above sea level?
If you live in the keys, your whole area is a flood zone, genius. It only takes one time to ruin your investment. Can't help stupid people.
That’s ballsy bro

What about Louisiana? You can get houses there for $100,000 - $300,000 in places like Lafayette. Same with Mississippi and seniors don't pay property taxes.
But then need job or have loads of savings.
Seniors can afford property taxes other places.
Whom pays for the stuff the seniors taxes would have paid for?
Non-seniors?
Or do they just get nothing?
Yes! People should move to Lousiana. NOT FLORIDA!
Louisiana is the the only state where real estate depreciated YOY since the pandemic. People don't want to move there and real estate reflects that. Mississippi? Why would anyone move there? Both of those states have horrible standard of living and poor healthcare services.

Hey Michael, it's cooling down here, it's only 89 as opposed to 109. Fall chill...

Reventure Consulting has done a good job keeping us up to date on Florida in your absence, but we still miss you.😢.
Don't you worry, we just got home from Kentucky and we are moving up there. Florida has turned to hell the last 4 years. We are going broke trying to pay our bills. Home insurance is insane, car insurance is costing me right at 1k per month now! Traffic is at a standstill for miles every day in Kissimmee taking you an hour to get to work in Orlando or wherever. My wife is a doctor and they are paying her MORE to go up there than they do in Orlando. It costs half the price to live up there, people are friendly and there is zero traffic. They may get 1 or 2 snows a year up there so there is no reason to stay here anymore. I was born and raised in Florida and even my wife is like let's go!!! More money in our pockets each money and much friendlier people and zero traffic. She is actually excited and will start at the end of the year. Do not move to Florida unless you are balling or want to be broke trying to afford the basic stuff. It's turned into a disaster.
Sir I'm leaving Navarre and moving back to my land in Ohio next week.
you're not wrong. i seriously do not understand how folks can live a happy lifestyle living in/near Kissimmee. Exponential traffic, the rudest of tourists, cannot get a good meal/service in that area ... it's a whole different world here in St Pete compared to there, not sure how people do it, I couldn't!
My wife is also a doctor and we did something similar 3 years ago. We lived in Houston, which I'm from and will always have a special place in my heart, but admittedly it is a hot, humid, ugly traffic infested city of insane urban sprawl, prone to flooding and hurricanes that has become surprisingly expensive to live in. I work remote and the wife got a job up in Richmond, VA, which is a mid sized city with plenty of decent enough amenities - the James river, hiking, minor league baseball, etc... there is little to no traffic there and you are a 1.5-2 hour drive from Virginia Beach and Shenandoah National Park. You can also easily drive up and down the east coast to NC, SC, FL, or the north east cities like DC, Philly, NY, and Boston to visit and then GTHO of them. Get more real seasons here but not snow more than a couple times per year. Humidity is not nearly as bad as in the south. It's a really underrated place to live.

I’m an environmental engineer and work out of Orlando was born and lived in Florida my whole life and let me tell you how frustrating it is knowing I cannot even afford most homes in the Orlando area and I make 75K a year before taxes.
Not even areas like Bithlo or Christmas are that affordable anymore. They’re selling mobile homes for 250K and up.

A long time ago a guy could get a job at GM right out of high school with good pay and retirement. Technology has destroyed the good way of living. I don't see how this can go on for ever without a breaking point.
That is true. And most manufacturing has left the US. It’s an issue.
ummm. tech has exponentially improved quality of life/making a great living, and made life more safe for skilled labor. perhaps more importantly, folks are realizing they do not have to be miserable their entire lives standing on a production line literally doing the same thing for decades. while some people find comfort in monotony, it's certainly not for everyone, and the workforce data shows this.

Hi Michael, our Florida home insurance is being assumed by Slide insurance this year as part of their 15K, hope they will be good. My State Farm broker could not stop the transfer this time, and he had kept us with Citizens for 10 years, but cannot any longer. Sure hope they can be on the up and up, our rate is very low and we are one of the lucky folks grandfathered into this nonsense of real estate. We have had flood insurance for quite some time, since we are so close to Tampa Bay and storm surge. We also have wind mitigation discounts on our storm shutters and roof straps so we feel our home is pretty hurricane proof. Luckily also we have avoided the flooding from this year's rainy season storms, it's a wild one! Take care great channel.

Have your uncle buy one of those water bladders that go around your home. It prevents most floods.
Michael, what I don't understand is that Florida has been a state of extremely hot temperatures and what used to be a regular hurricane season. I never understood why people would risk living there. And building skyscraper condo-buildings that faced daily salt sprays from the ocean. always made me question the logic.
What am I not getting right here? 🤔🤨😕
I really do not know how anyone can afford to move today. They must make a great income. Otherwise, stay where you are. 🤷♀️
Yes, they do.
There's a recent story in St. Pete where a lady just moved to Shore Acres, bought a $8000 flood policy from NFIP and flooded from tropical storm Debby. Claim was denied because the prior owner flooded and didn't fix anything after receiving the claim check. All the appliances were just cleaned up I guess because she submitted the claim with the same serial numbers as prior damaged appliances.

Hi Lizzy!!
Hiiiii!!!🤗☺️
Everything will be fine in Florida. People like to talk a lot of trash about Florida but just wait till it gets cold. Insurance rates are coming down. Property tax rates are adjusting lower with lower prices from the peak. The condo crisis is way overblown. Most condo buildings have already been inspected and have passed. Inventory is actually dropping in many markets. Hurricane Ian is now a distant memory for everyone except those on fort Myers beach. SWFL has already adjusted down from the peak. Relax it’s all fine.
Too many weather events there and flooding. It's not fine with all that inventory sitting on the market. I've spent time in West Palm Beach. It's nice, but not at those prices.
Uhh my car insurance in FL went from 577 a month to 924 a month living in Kissimmee. It's definitely not going down at all. It's a nightmare here in Kissimmee.
What are you smoking? Our home and auto just went up substantially again. This is one of the most ridiculous states in the country behind California.
@@jayson657 it’s that way EVERYWHERE. Not just FL.
@@Acc0rd79 Worse, yet, there are plenty of new condos being built in Kissimmee. This was back in Feb, they are probably on the market now. Overcrowding.
If they don't help people stay in their homes, the prices will crash, and so will the real estate tax base.
And thus govt officials are motivated to subsidize living.... And will.
Florida is awful. It does a good job luring you in because it looks cheap on the surface but they lower the boom once you get here. They well reassess your house a year after you buy and double to triple your property taxes. Your auto insurance will double the minute you move here because of all the uninsured motorists they do absolutely nothing about. Your homeowner insurance will double at each renewal to cover all the sleazy roofing contractors scamming them. Then they drop your policy once your roof is 10 years old until you get it replaced.The state lets Auto dealers charge $999+ dealer fees just for the displeasure of doing business with them. HVAC contractors rip every one off. Its a grifter state filled with a bunch of transients.
More than 50% of Miami Dade county residents are foreign born , sick of hearing about Cuba , Venezuela , Russia & Ukraine on the beach and every place else , they still speak English at the VA hospital though - didn't used to be this way [ lived in South Fla since 1952 ] .
We sold our SW Florida condo in Estero in 2016 and moved to the high desert. We lived in a beautiful golf/gated community. We only paid $163,000 for the condo in 2001. Insurance and HOA fees were reasonable during our entire time there. A few years after we moved to the high desert, hurricane Ian hit. During our 15 years we never had a flooding or hurricane issue of any kind. The storm surge from Ian put 4-5' of water in every ground level condo in our community, essentially destroying everything. It took some people well over a year to get their place repaired and occupiable. Now, prices are too high, insurance is too high, and HOA dues are too high. We loved our time in Florida but are lucky to have gotten out just in time.
I was in S. Fort Meyers Beach last week & still lots of damaged hotels and homes after close to 2 years later. Ian really smacked that area unfortunately.
@@jayelder9725 We've been back to the FMB and Sanibel Island areas and the damage is still very evident, and the reconstruction will take years. The entire area was decimated.
