So do you actually get a deed showing that you have ownership of that small section of the land? Or does it work differently than normal property ownership, since that other guy owns the whole resort?
Best of luck with your new venture. I decided many years ago that I will never own anything in an HOA. I am not interested in purchasing property and signing away all of my decisions to a management committee that has the power to sue me.
Congrats! Whether you made a mistake or not, you said it best " You can't make dirt", the value will only increase and it's best to buy ahead of the curve. Congratulations on finding a spot that works for you!!!!
I just caught this post, congratulations. never a wrong decision buying an RV lot, especially in Port Charlotte. Love that area,as we are part-timers in Punta Gorda . We just bought a class super C , so we are handcuffed a little on where we can stay, but these coaches are excepted more and more at Rv resorts around the country. One we did like when we had our class A was Great Outdoors Premier RV resort in Titusville, Fl.
Congrats on your purchase. We’ve been there and it’s a great resort. One comment on appreciation. On owner owned resorts in Florida, values have increased over 100% in just the past 3 years after limping along for 10-20 years. Developer resorts are priced at these inflated levels with little or no upgrades to the sites. With interest rates expected to rise, it will be interesting to see if these values can be maintained.
I am a retired LEO 3 years from SC, bought a lot in Bradenton 7 years ago and spend the winters since “Living the Dream.” No regrets and love that I bought before retiring to have a piece of paradise away from the daily grind. Congrats and enjoy.
Congratulations. Im excited for you! Well done. I bought a class A less than a year ago. I knew nothing about the rv world except what I learned on channels like yours. Dang, now I want a lot at a motorcoach resort! Thanks.
Congratulations on the new property !! I have lived in the SW Fla area for 18 1/2 years before relocating to North Georgia. Its a nice place to live as long as you don't have to deal with the hurricanes. Pt Charlotte and Punta Gorda are ( maybe I should say used to be) quiet areas, at least they were 16 years ago. Looks like a great lot you have there. Best Wishes.
Great decision for all the right reasons!! We live in SW Florida and just purchased a casita pad in Thornton Creek RV Resort (Arcadia, FL -15 mins from downtown Punta Gorda). Myakka is really special because of its proximity to the Myakka River which will bring you out to Charlotte Harbor- great sailing and boating, never congested. The nearby beaches of SW FL are the blue waters of the Gulf- Caribbean style, something the East Coast doesn’t have. You are going to absolutely love it here. Laid back, great restaurants, lots of places to adventure to- the perfect home base for your future planning. CONGRATULATIONS!! 👍🏻
Congratulations! We’re snowbirds in Riverwood, which boarders the RV park on the river. Been here for 5 years and love it. Being about midway between Sarasota and Ft Myers allows easy access to both, lots to do. Punta Gorda is also fun. Two draw backs: 1) I75 traffic is crazy. Accidents that shut down the interstate cause huge traffic issues on 41. 2) During the season, January through March, restaurants and other business are very busy - plan well in advance for services during the season. Buying now is a smart move, plenty of time to decide what to build and have it done. Good luck.
I graduated from Riverdale HS in Fort Myers, FL 1979. I worked construction for B&I Contractors out of Ft. Myers after graduation and worked many places in Charlotte Lee and Collier counties. That area is beautiful and was wetlands when I lived there. CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 👏🏻 💐 🥳 on that purchase! This is very similar to what I wish to do in 21 months... hope to retire in a Class A to Florida too. 😊
We are so happy for you guys. Beautiful resort and area and don't think you will ever regret your decision!!! Best of luck to you guys and may our Good Lord watch over both of you and family and adventures. Stay safe Izzy!....and make sure you come home everyday! God Bless our Thin Blue Line Family! David and Christina Southern California
Congrats guys. Having lived in the area for years (though I’m now in Ga.) I think it’s a good bet to appreciate in value. I agree with you that Port Charlotte area will be better than Naples: more laid-back, less crowded and not so country-clubby. Looks like a beautiful lot.
Boca Grande beach fabulous … down the street from Myaka is the craziest gas station that caterers food and has a bakery and full on take out! Check it out. Yep we’ve stayed there :)
Hi guys, I have lived in Naples most of my life, my wife was born here, yes it’s expensive, it will get more expensive. No diss on you guys, you the exception, a lot of your neighbors have moved here, it’s definitely not the same as it was 50 years ago, Port Charlotte -Englewood where you are is what it was like here then, it was more so 10 years ago. That is a nice resort, great location. I don’t think you will regret your decision. Even if you don’t use it, it’s a good investment. The growth it increasing tremendously in the surrounding area. I believe in a year you will be very glad you bought when you did. Happy trails
Congratulations!!!! I totally understand Winters from up north as a thing in the past. After living in Vermont for only 8 years, that 8 years was enough for me. You guys made a great investment in my thoughts. That property will only increase. After moving and buying a home in southeast Louisiana, our property here has increased 60K in 4 years alone. So happy for you guys and hope y'all are still making videos when making the move. So exciting!!!!
Awesome choice! Can tell by the smiles on your faces it was t was the right decision! And you are setting a great example for your son in following your dream. You two are obviously in the flow, keep it up. I’m so inspired
Congratulations Izzy and MJ. Looks like a beautiful place! I remember six years ago seeing the concept of selling RV sites. The price then was 55k for a site . They have skyrocketed since then. I live the concept as a low maintenance place to stay for the winter while keeping our NJ home base
WELCOME Floridians! Congratulations on your property purchase. The Florida market keeps growing and appreciating by-the-month! So, you CAN'T Lose. We're about 2 hours north from you guys in Odessa, FL and our property value has soared! -Todd
Congrats, this is our third year renting at MRMR and agree that it is a great spot. Especially this year, we are staying on your lot right now! Thanks.
Going throu all the same plans here in Texas- Gulf Waters seems to make the most sense fer us here in Austin - Just watchin both the real estate market and class A market bend to our favor
Congratulations - we are fellow Liquid Springers and have a home-mostly seasonal in nearby Englewood. We’ve had it 10 years come Feb 22. Have heard many good things about the resort you’ve bought in. Welcome
Izzy & MJ………I’m 60 years old, I was born in Martin County, FL and never left. Yup, I’m still here. I have family in Tampa. My brother has a Class A and owns a spot similar to yours here on the east coast of Florida (directly across the state from your site and just a little lower). It’s been a gold mine for him. He’ll retire in a couple years and has been renting it out for the past 5 years. He’s recouped the purchase price and it’s value has almost doubled (even during covid). I have friends who have one in Tampa and it’s the same story. They don’t even own an RV. Lol! You made a VERY good choice!!!
That is our hope. 2 months rented HOA and Taxes are paid for the year. Everything else is income and we see appreciation of property likely. Thanks for the insight makes us feel better about our decision.
Congratulations! Welcome to the area! You will love it here. I knew you’d like Port Charlotte. We love it here, been her 20 years from NY. We love the quiet. You must check out Boca Grande. It is absolutely beautiful out there.
Congratulations Neighbor! We sold our Newmar Super Star after just one year and bought a house on one of the canals across the river from you. We love the area for all the reasons you mentioned plus the fishing is GREAT. Check out the little bar/resto nearby that used to be a post office, very Old Florida.
Congratulations on your purchase! I have been looking for a RV lot location in Fl for several years. I agree with you, prices have really increased and inventory is way down. What a great way to start your ownership, property is rented for months!
Welcome to Myakka!!! You will love it! We did the same thing 2 years ago, visited all the RV Motorcoach Resorts on the Gulf side and chose MRMR!! Love the people, how close we are to the beach and the fact we are not in a high traffic area like a lot of the other resorts. Can’t wait to officially meet you both!!!
I think you made a good investment, as long time Florida residents we kick ourselves for not buying beach property in the 80"s. Class A pads are a good investments. Naples is growing and everyone wants to move there, even folks from Michigan. BTW, Thank you for your service and stay safe, we are a family of first responders.
Congratulations so happy for you guys. No you did not make a bad decision we did the same thing only bought in souther Texas 5 years ago and have not regretted that decision. You are so smart planning ahead you will be so happy you did. 😎
Congratulations! Yes I'm behind on videos. Lol. Dealing with internet on the road is tuff. Lol. Jim and me have talked about eventually buying a lot somewhere. Just so it would help with our Domicile thing. We just bought a small package of the Thousand Trails Southeast Zone. Because we are staying on the East Coast this year due to my dad being 97 years old and not good health. We have only stayed at one Thousand Trails park so far. And we absolutely loved it and how some full-time RVers have their sites setup. We are looking into buy a used Thousand Trails membership that has everything that we want. We also got a Passport America membership gifted to us. We just are trying to cover all our bases as much as possible for Full-time RVing life. Campgrounds are getting expensive and hard to get into. We figured that the Thousand Trails membership will pay for itself in the long run. We are difently Glampers. Lol. But Abby requires baths every 2 to 3 days due to her yeast skin condition with a medicated shampoo. So we have to think of our doggies first before our needs. Plus as soon as we find a different RV that has a washer and dryer in it so we can get rid of this Grand Design nightmare. Which after my first video. Lippert came after me on Instagram. I struck a chord. Lol. But seriously congratulations to you both. We are looking into doing the same thing.
We love MRMCR. It is unfortunate you will miss meeting the amazing people who also own there and spend the winter season there. Of the places we have been, these owners are the most welcoming and friendly group we have met. The pickleball crowd is social and competitive all at the same time. We are looking at Naples because it fits our need for fine dining much closer to the property than Myakka since we like to eat our 3-4 days per week.
Congrats, Izzy & MJ!! I think you made a good purchase. I have had a home in the area that has increased in value. The area is growing and they are building new houses, camp grounds and businesses. There are great places to eat near and Sarasota has an Amish population and great food there. I've been following you as I'm in the market for an Newmar Dutch Star pusher. Your review of your coach sold me.
Congrats on your land purchase at Myakka! My timing is so great that I actually just moved back to Indiana from North Fort Myers, in October! Dang, we were almost neighbors! Anyway, It's a great area and very close to many things to do. Best of luck to you!!
Looks very nice but I was a little worried about your decision until you showed the Pickleball courts! Clearly the best amenity in any resort! Start playing now if you can in New Jersey! You’ll love it and it’s great exercise!
Congratulations, MJ and Izzy, welcome to Florida, even if only part time, I am so happy for you! This RV park looks absolutely gorgeous, a very smart decision in my opinion, it keeps your options open while paying for itself and will in all likelihood increase in value over time! Perhaps we can rent your campsite at some point in time, we're just a few hours north on the west coast.
congrats on finding a great place to hang your hats when you need it . perfect in every way great idea to think ahead time is money in long run so enjoy it make memories
You made a choice and it's not a mistake like your title maybe suggested. If you change your mind you can always rent or sell it. I love the idea as you get the best of both worlds to keep traveling or not but this way you have the land and the options will be yours.
Very familiar with the area lived 12mi from there excellent place to hang out lots to do in the area, the fried chicken at the truck stop 🚏 gas station is to good to tell
congratulations we just bought a 7.6 acre parcel in VT, going to set it up for our RV and other people to Hip Camp, and maybe one day our Retirement home will be built there. We live in Jersey too
We have a 2018 Class A. Now since my wife has seen the color of yours. I'm now have to look for one for one. I'm going to keep her off your page. Thanks a lot and have fun.
Just saw this!!! O, my goodness!!! Hey neighbor!!! As soon as I saw the mangroves, the boardwalk and the river, I got really excited. We bought Lot 23 at MRMR this last May. We were there all of October, and are just part time right now and in Colorado for Thanksgiving and Christmas, so renters will be there for awhile. We'll be going FT in the Spring. We are so excited to know we might be able to get to know you in the future! Everything you said was exactly true about MRMR and the Port Charlotte/SW FL area and were the very reasons we did what you have done. Yes, Planet Fitness super close, the Publix on Cochran is awesome and so many great restaurants, and so close to beaches. Yes, indeed, you made a great decision! I hope we can connect at MRMR in the future. Love your channel, and have learned so much through it. Welcome to the neighborhood!!!
Good for you! We did a very similar thing earlier this year, but a bit further north in Clermont. We are 3 or 4 years from retirement, but given the uptick in FL real estate prices, we decided to buy now. It was rented for the next two winters within a couple months of buying, and that rental will cover all the costs while we build equity. A big factor for us was to have a home base - we've heard too many horror stories from full timers with no place to go during COVID. Now we'll always have one. We'll probably go full time when we retire, but this will give us a winter place and a home base if/when we need it. Good luck!
We decided to purchase in Naples Motorcoach Resort after looking at a number of locations. I too was worried about long term appreciation. Last checked going prices blew past what we paid. Hard to put a value on Sunshine and warm weather! Congrats and enjoy.
Will Rodgers said “buy land. They aren’t making any more of it!” It doesn’t sound like a very high risk. As long as it’s rented, it pays for itself. RV sires are in high demand in winter months. Sounds like a good buy to me!
smart decision. get in before everything goes up more, rent the spot as much as u can between now and the time u retire so it helps pay for itself. and u have the assurance of knowing u have a place to go. just my 2 cents
Congrats to you both!! Exciting calculated risk... you can't gain without risk, much like when you take the plunge to RV, if you don't try it, it won't happen for sure!!. Here is to the gain outweighing the risk!!!🍷🍷👏👏
Congratulations MJ and Izzy, good or bad who knows, at this moment it is good ,,, who knows the future. I personally like the east coast of Florida, just south of Cocoa Beach area. Indian Harbour, Melbourne and even alittle more south of that. But, just enjoy what you like and that is all we can do.
Congratulations! My husband and I actually live in an RV resort in Florida we bought a lot around April this yr in the class A sectionand we love it! I think u guys were smart doing what u did because it is getting harder to get RV lots at a fair price ...not to mention I'm not much of a planner so we only have to move if we want to, not too much stress about vacations. Unfortunately we do have a deck n landscaping so we can't leave for too long. I am retired but my husband works full-time in the rig.
You guys did very well. As long as the HOA rules are agreeable to you and the monthly fee is not too high you should be very happy. Good to plan ahead!
We’ve had a park model/ Arizona room in a park in Mesa Arizona for the past 20 years. We finally get to retire and spend extended periods of time down there. Have never regretted it for a minute. You can always rent it out and property values do not go down especially with a huge baby boom population. Plus side of our place versus a home is there is minimal maintenance.
Congrats!! We’re from South west Pa. and that’s our plan to be snow birds. We’re about 12 years away from that but my brother just bought a house north of Orlando and he said real estate is blowing up down there, so for us if all else fails at least we will have a place to moochdock! Lol…….
Congratulations on your new RV site! I’m in South Jersey and I wish I could get out. We have been sessional camping in Seaville, NJ since 1979. Had dreamed of being a snow bird but unfortunately the universe had other plans! I think you did the right thing while you are still young!
Congratulations on you new place in Port Charlotte area. Unfortunately for us we just can't afford anything like that.We are in our 2019 Dynamax Dynaquest xl on a shoe string budget. Love your videos keep them coming we have both learned by watching them.Havr a Blessed Holiday Season. Monica&Wally.
Congrats on what I think will be a great investment. Fla is great place, with lots to do and see. But we are more into the wild west type typen of land scape, so we are looking in Az, NM, TX, areas. Wish you all the best in this venture....and we are right behind you. I can retire in 5 years.
Huge congrats, saw this in the Facebook group and had to drop some love on the channel. Great going you two. Looking forward to so much more from you guys. Stay safe and fair journeys my friends

So do you actually get a deed showing that you have ownership of that small section of the land? Or does it work differently than normal property ownership, since that other guy owns the whole resort?
@@libertylover4575 it is a deeded individual property.
Best of luck with your new venture. I decided many years ago that I will never own anything in an HOA. I am not interested in purchasing property and signing away all of my decisions to a management committee that has the power to sue me.

Welcome to the Myakka Family. We are your owner neighbors in Site 69. Look forward to meeting you.
Wonderful! Can’t wait to get there in a few years lol
Congrats on the purchase. You are 17 miles south of me (retired law enforcement from the area). You picked a good area of Florida.
Awesome. 👍
I am a retired LEO 3 years from SC, bought a lot in Bradenton 7 years ago and spend the winters since “Living the Dream.” No regrets and love that I bought before retiring to have a piece of paradise away from the daily grind. Congrats and enjoy.
Exactly our plan. And when we want to change it up we rent it out. Congrats on your retirement
As long you two are happy. That is all,that matters. Injoy!!!!!!!
Congratulations. Im excited for you! Well done. I bought a class A less than a year ago. I knew nothing about the rv world except what I learned on channels like yours. Dang, now I want a lot at a motorcoach resort! Thanks.

You get the feeling we had in Naples. Nice but not for us. Thanks for watching and the comment
Welcome to our side of Fl. We only live 20 minutes up the road. We have lived here since 70 and love it

Everyone is escaping to a free state. Same thing happening in NJ with NYC people driving up the prices. We don’t mind 😀
Congrats, this is our third year renting at MRMR and agree that it is a great spot. Especially this year, we are staying on your lot right now! Thanks.
Congrats for your new place! I loved! Best wishes from Argentina.
Thank you so much!!
Congratulations guys. The resort looks amazing, what a great way to escape the cold. So happy for you both! Enjoy!!
Thanks Chris. We’re so excited! 😀
Great decision. We are thinking about the same thing…. Really beautiful beaches in parts of FL..
Going throu all the same plans here in Texas- Gulf Waters seems to make the most sense fer us here in Austin - Just watchin both the real estate market and class A market bend to our favor
Congratulations - we are fellow Liquid Springers and have a home-mostly seasonal in nearby Englewood. We’ve had it 10 years come Feb 22. Have heard many good things about the resort you’ve bought in. Welcome
The Venice North Port and Port Charlotte area is awesome. We landed here in June and are very pleased with our choice of this area in Florida.
Izzy & MJ………I’m 60 years old, I was born in Martin County, FL and never left. Yup, I’m still here. I have family in Tampa.

We only go around once !
This isn’t a dress rehearsal , follow your dreams !
Go for it and good luck !

I have always enjoyed both of you and your videos thank you for your service Izzy especially in this day and age
Great Great decision.. I want to buy an RV pad. Im a real estate guy. you can't go wrong buying land especially land with income.
Congrats on your land purchase at Myakka! My timing is so great that I actually just moved back to Indiana from North Fort Myers, in October! Dang, we were almost neighbors! Anyway, It's a great area and very close to many things to do. Best of luck to you!!

Congratulations. Three weeks to retirement, yours will be here soon. Stay safe brother.
Congrats
Congratulations! That is so awesome. I hope it works out better than you imagined.
Congratulations, MJ and Izzy, welcome to Florida, even if only part time, I am so happy for you! This RV park looks absolutely gorgeous, a very smart decision in my opinion, it keeps your options open while paying for itself and will in all likelihood increase in value over time! Perhaps we can rent your campsite at some point in time, we're just a few hours north on the west coast.
congrats on finding a great place to hang your hats when you need it . perfect in every way great idea to think ahead time is money in long run so enjoy it make memories
Congratulations! The Resort looks awesome! As I sit here watching 3 inches of snow falling - SE Michigan, I wish we were doing the same thing!
You made a choice and it's not a mistake like your title maybe suggested. If you change your mind you can always rent or sell it. I love the idea as you get the best of both worlds to keep traveling or not but this way you have the land and the options will be yours.
Very familiar with the area lived 12mi from there excellent place to hang out lots to do in the area, the fried chicken at the truck stop 🚏 gas station is to good to tell
congratulations we just bought a 7.6 acre parcel in VT, going to set it up for our RV and other people to Hip Camp, and maybe one day our Retirement home will be built there. We live in Jersey too
We have a 2018 Class A. Now since my wife has seen the color of yours. I'm now have to look for one for one. I'm going to keep her off your page. Thanks a lot and have fun.
Very nice! We're from Cape May NJ and have an RV property/home in The Great Outdoors in Titusville FL and love it. Good luck!
Just saw this!!! O, my goodness!!! Hey neighbor!!! As soon as I saw the mangroves, the boardwalk and the river, I got really excited. We bought Lot 23 at MRMR this last May. We were there all of October, and are just part time right now and in Colorado for Thanksgiving and Christmas, so renters will be there for awhile. We'll be going FT in the Spring. We are so excited to know we might be able to get to know you in the future! Everything you said was exactly true about MRMR and the Port Charlotte/SW FL area and were the very reasons we did what you have done. Yes, Planet Fitness super close, the Publix on Cochran is awesome and so many great restaurants, and so close to beaches. Yes, indeed, you made a great decision! I hope we can connect at MRMR in the future. Love your channel, and have learned so much through it. Welcome to the neighborhood!!!
We’re excited. Thank you!
Like the area, the main thing is that y’all are happy. Congrats 👍👍👍👍
Congrats! We're filling up fast in Florida dirt prices will only keep going up!
CONGRATULATIONS!! SPECTACULAR!! Great for your DREAMS!! SAFE TRAVELS
Thanks Ron
Good for you! We did a very similar thing earlier this year, but a bit further north in Clermont. We are 3 or 4 years from retirement, but given the uptick in FL real estate prices, we decided to buy now. It was rented for the next two winters within a couple months of buying, and that rental will cover all the costs while we build equity. A big factor for us was to have a home base - we've heard too many horror stories from full timers with no place to go during COVID. Now we'll always have one. We'll probably go full time when we retire, but this will give us a winter place and a home base if/when we need it. Good luck!
Thanks for sharing and congrats
Cogratilations and welcome to the neighborhood.
We live about 15 minutes away and absolutely love the area. If we are home not RVing that is.
We decided to purchase in Naples Motorcoach Resort after looking at a number of locations. I too was worried about long term appreciation. Last checked going prices blew past what we paid. Hard to put a value on Sunshine and warm weather! Congrats and enjoy.
That was in our list. Very nice resort
Will Rodgers said “buy land. They aren’t making any more of it!” It doesn’t sound like a very high risk. As long as it’s rented, it pays for itself. RV sires are in high demand in winter months. Sounds like a good buy to me!
Congratulations! Beautiful. You two will be fine! Thanks for sharing this!
smart decision. get in before everything goes up more, rent the spot as much as u can between now and the time u retire so it helps pay for itself. and u have the assurance of knowing u have a place to go. just my 2 cents
Congratulations 🎊🍾
Congrats to you both!! Exciting calculated risk... you can't gain without risk, much like when you take the plunge to RV, if you don't try it, it won't happen for sure!!. Here is to the gain outweighing the risk!!!🍷🍷👏👏
Congratulations my friends, very wise choice, bust of luck. It look beautiful and nice warm weather, perfect.
Thank you
CONGRATULATIONS !!!! What a wonderful new adventure and really a good retirement plan . Stay well and travel safe .
Thank you Amy
Congratulations!
Congratulations MJ and Izzy, good or bad who knows, at this moment it is good ,,, who knows the future. I personally like the east coast of Florida, just south of Cocoa Beach area. Indian Harbour, Melbourne and even alittle more south of that. But, just enjoy what you like and that is all we can do.
Congrats on the new purchase. Looks like a really nice location!
Thank you
Congrulations guys, I believe you made the right call….can never go wrong with real estate,
Good for you!
Congratulations! My husband and I actually live in an RV resort in Florida we bought a lot around April this yr in the class A sectionand we love it! I think u guys were smart doing what u did because it is getting harder to get RV lots at a fair price ...not to mention I'm not much of a planner so we only have to move if we want to, not too much stress about vacations. Unfortunately we do have a deck n landscaping so we can't leave for too long. I am retired but my husband works full-time in the rig.
Congrats, Izzy & MJ!! So excited for you guys! The area looks beautiful. Hope to see you at the Tampa show in January. 💜
Thank you Zita
Congratulations!! The time will fly, and your prep now will bear fruit then.
Thank you! We agree.
You guys did very well. As long as the HOA rules are agreeable to you and the monthly fee is not too high you should be very happy. Good to plan ahead!
Great decision, well thought out, Congratulations !!
Congratulations guys !! I think this is fantastic for you, what a way to beat the cold !! It is a beautiful park and Quiet ! Safe Travels guys 💙
Yay! Good for you! Sounds like a great plan and we hope it all goes well.
what ag reat choice its so beautiful there I know the area a little bit you guys made the right decision, due to the property value it will bring.
We’ve had a park model/ Arizona room in a park in Mesa Arizona for the past 20 years. We finally get to retire and spend extended periods of time down there. Have never regretted it for a minute. You can always rent it out and property values do not go down especially with a huge baby boom population. Plus side of our place versus a home is there is minimal maintenance.
Thanks for sharing
Congrats!! We’re from South west Pa. and that’s our plan to be snow birds. We’re about 12 years away from that but my brother just bought a house north of Orlando and he said real estate is blowing up down there, so for us if all else fails at least we will have a place to moochdock! Lol…….
Congratulations on your new RV site! I’m in South Jersey and I wish I could get out. We have been sessional camping in Seaville, NJ since 1979. Had dreamed of being a snow bird but unfortunately the universe had other plans! I think you did the right thing while you are still young!
Congratulations on you new place in Port Charlotte area. Unfortunately for us we just can't afford anything like that.We are in our 2019 Dynamax Dynaquest xl on a shoe string budget. Love your videos keep them coming we have both learned by watching them.Havr a Blessed Holiday Season. Monica&Wally.
Congrats on what I think will be a great investment.
Fla is great place, with lots to do and see.
But we are more into the wild west type typen of land scape, so we are looking in Az, NM, TX, areas.
Wish you all the best in this venture....and we are right behind you. I can retire in 5 years.
Congrats, best of luck. Enjoy the adventure.
Huge congrats, saw this in the Facebook group and had to drop some love on the channel. Great going you two. Looking forward to so much more from you guys. Stay safe and fair journeys my friends
Thank you!
Great choice the West Coast of Florida is amazing. Born and raised in S Florida my favorite place is Sanibel Island.
Great decision! “God isn’t making any more land”, so buying now in a great area is an awesome idea! Congrats!
