Isn’t it funny how people who are commenting, who you don’t know, want to tell you what to do with your money? They want to tell you that you’re wasting your money. When half of them are spending $200 a month on cigarettes, $300 a month on beer, hundreds of dollars a month on tattoos and hundreds of dollars a month on other unnecessary things like ball game tickets. Yet they want to criticize you for what you spend your money on. Some people just need to mind their own business.
We passed this comment to our friends and they Thank you for understanding. They have been amazingly happy with their decision and love living there. No Regrets at all!
60k, Then $2,400 a year sounds like highway robbery. You’d be better off buying a 25k lot a few miles from the beach. Pouring a concrete driveway and connecting your own utilities.
Hi Brandon, it is a lot of money for sure, but we do think it is a great investment for some. One main issue with buying land, pouring a base and getting utilities installed is that so many counties won’t allow it and there must be a permanent structure. Unfortunately, that’s becoming more and more common. If you did find a location that allows you to do this and you like to travel a lot, you’d need to think about the upkeep of the property. Not so much for a few months, but it you were doing more than that, you might need to hire a company to do that. Also, with a ‘resort’ property like this, there are a lot of fantastic on-site facilities that are attractive to people. Probably not so much for us personally, but each to their own 👍😁
Many other factors not considered is zoning requirements (limitations) , security while not occupying site, development impact fees, construction, design & permitting costs. Utility costs including well, septic, power and/or city tie-in costs. Driveway & Structure construction and permit costs. Additional income from rental site while not occupied.
The park will keep things up and rent it out for you. It is a win over a property management company. Renting it out year-round when not in use will cover all his bills. Your comments makes no sense lol
This park looked nice. Thank you Laurence and Natalie for having this couple show their property they stay at for a few months out of the year! Glad they were able to get in. Glad they have a lot you can do there in this park. Thank you for this video. See you soon!
Endless RVing did a segment on this and it was the very 1st time I had seen it. The property they looked at was in FLA as well. But for class A only, and I can't remember if there was a age requirement. I really liked this because they allow 5th wheels and I have to say I hate to admit it but I meet age requirement...lol. we don't plan on selling the house when we retire but if we did I would find a piece of land somewhere around Georgian Bay or the great lakes to hang out in the summer. We want to go 95% full time till we have explored as much of USA and Canada as we can.
That’s a great plan. There are many people looking for a ‘home base’ and it’s fascinating how everybody has different requirements and ideas and plans. We hadn’t seen Izzy and MJs video, so we shall go look for that 👍
😳 $61K + HOA = run I can buy acreage land for less than that amount and no HOA. Granted, you’ll need to install water/septic/electric this is a given. I can’t get over the HOA and how they have to approve pretty much any modifications you do to your own property. To each his own, I guess.
Hi Goth! We are the same and aren’t fans of HOAs, the idea of HOAs are great and I’m sure there are some great ones, but we have had issues in the past. Rob and Michelle seem happy with theirs and they seem reasonably run with clear rules. Like you say ‘each to their own’ 👍
I will never rent in a neighborhood with an HOA or buy again anywhere with an HOA. It took only one residence in an HOA community for us to affirm this...forever. 😂
@@verysimpleeverything it seems like HOA always have someone that will want to be on the board and cause havoc to other s to others and never follow the rules themselves
Looks like a great place. Would like to have seen the travel trailer section. Looked at a park model at the Mid-Atlantic RV Expo that we really loved. That would be a great place for it. I remember your visits up there. Funny!🤣 watch you guys trying to drive electric bikes hung over. Are @our life whirlwind still going to be hosting that campgrounds?
Its a great place. We knew Rob and Michelle were down there with you guys. They are a great couple. Great idea for them. I could see in the future us renting one week in the summer. Now you both will have to come see all of us here in Ohio. Thanks for sharing this! Deana
@@BrazenBrits not nearly often enough. 😔 It’s more difficult to find spots. We have HH and have considered it for local attractions. We also use Courtesy Parking with other Airstream owners. I would sell in a heartbeat and go back on the road but my husband tells me we can’t beat this spot with no HOA and super cheap homestead taxes. He’s right.
This makes sense if you are able to cover yearly HOA with some seasonal rentals, but the risk is that HOAs can change the rules and can fine you for just about anything. That HOA fee will keep going up and one day you will be hit with an assessment for something you did not even want. The security is a big perk of course, but RV parks are not very private. If you can be a bit smaller and more off road/off grid/self sustainable and fearless you can save a ton of money and not have to be in the middle of sea of RVs.
We live in the Florida panhandle and thought about purchasing a RV lot. Then we made a decision to just rent from those who HAVE already bought a lot as we wouldn't use it a ton ourselves. FUNNY THING is that we would probably rent from someone not during the winter months so this would work out perfectly! Well, just found out our brand new FULL BODY PAINT Tiffin Wayfarer Class C won't be allowed! WOW! :(
Just a curious internet surfer here. My wife and I were looking at getting into the RV life mostly because of me and my love of traveling and being outdoors. When I looked into the cost of a larger RV, associated maintenance, fuel cost, space rent, and all that jazz I was surprised by it. I think I’m just to practical or cheap to bite the bullet. These RV parks are interesting concept but the HOA is what it is and like taxes never go away. The are also very dynamic as the board of directors changes frequently. Yes the rules don’t but the interpretation of those rules do. I’m living that now here in central Florida where I’m currently living. I even got on the board but quit after two years because I started hating old people. As nice as this park is I believe these will be looked at like those lovely time shares in the future. Congratulations on your adventure and keep pounding them.
Tom - I'm agreeing with your post here. It seems as more ppl. are going to this, all these boards are taking serious advantage charging ppl. They are coping HOA's within neighborhoods and treating camping the same way. If one is into this & doesn't see this as communism one is blind. As the new owners stated they only had 4 choices of colors, etc. etc. rules which is treating grounds as a communism development. I want to do the same thing but hearing these rules is disturbing.
In this unstable market, buying a regular house is getting tough. Tiny homes are attractive but location is difficult to find with utilities available. My boyfriend and I are considering a high end 5th wheel semi permanently installed and save money in property costs.
Many people are doing the same and it seems to be a great way to save money compared to rent or a mortgage. The only thing that worries me is that trailers (And any vehicle) should be moved regularly to keep all the components from ceasing up. But if you're never panning on moving after its situated, thats not a problem
It’s definitely been something we found interesting, we’ve since had some other friends buy a lot with a barndominium on site! We can’t wait to go check that out also.
We are very happy with it! We no longer have to worry about finding a site for the winter. Florida books up fast and it can be difficult to get a site. Now that we have finished our upgrades and making it our own it feels great to have it. Plus being an investment it has nearly doubled in value.
Thanks for being a part of it and for sharing all the information. This has been a very popular video and I know everybody appreciates all the details.
It's crazy how so many comments are so judgmental. Live and Let Live People. This works for them and evidently you haven't figured out what works for you, or maybe you have, but would you care what other people thought? I know I don't.
Thank you LaTonya. Rob and Michelle have read the comments here and like you say….this works perfectly for them and they have zero regrets. Live and let live!
Hi Mark. The annual tax is $896.18/yr. However, we are going to homestead the property when we become FL residents which should cut that amount by more than half. Thanks for your question.
I had a question if the HOA takes a piece of anything you guys want to install? what is the zoning like? I think obviously multifamily. but if you were allowed to have educational recreationally, such as chickens and wild life etc. (tax deductions galore) along with classes weekly- bi-weekly allow you to qualify for grants and other federally opportunities they improve the land for free. if I were to arrange things in an RV park. Local grocery store / with bait and fishing supplies. (profit margins are amazing) Ice Vending machines. Investing in a UPS shipping pick up and drop off, all you really need is a large she with AC and a walk in space. I like this idea a lot, I know of a person that has built relationships with the local attractions, like gator tours, Disney, laundry matts , coffee shops etc. and they kick money to one another since its free advertisement and they promote the community that way. =) just some tips! Best of luck!
We have been fulltime for just over 9 years now and are JUST starting to think about a base, don't know where yet, Do they have Pickleball?? That would be a must for us.
I don’t believe our park has them, but I’m not 💯 sure. I do know… There is a park right around the corner that has pickleball courts though. Maybe about 5-10 mins away
Any kind of HOA =hard pass ... weather is RV site or a house ... HOA is more of hassle than what it's worth and all you need is one gem on the board and you ha e headache even for little things
We agree with you! Having said that, our homebase has an HOA and so far its been very easy. We plan to talk to Rob and Michelle and see their thoughts on their pad next year and we'll post an update
I see/have two issues. First off I'm 46. wife 36, son 7. The cranky old folks don't like us, haha. I notice these 55+ parks way too much. In the old days of RVing that was normal. These days folks are getting out at a much younger age with online jobs and such. I keep joking i need to build a RV park for 55, and under only. lol... Second issue is like buying a multi acre property that is land locked it's useless unless you have access. All you own here is that tiny lot. What if the folks that own the whole property go bankrupt? What if they turn that nice nature trail into phase 4 and 5? What if they let the property go downhill over the years? What if they raise the dues and raise the dues? There really is nothing that you can really do just owning the lot. The same kind of issues can happen if the rv lot owners also own the land, pool, ect. Then if it goes south you'll be selling your 70k lot for 10k if your lucky. I've seen beautiful campgrounds become ran down. We are in one right now. It's not bad, but it's a shell of what it once was. I guess I'm saying it's a gamble. If it's cheap enough, and you can break even within 5 or 10 years max, Then i say go for. If it pays off your a big winner. if not at least your not out.
I understand that the parks do not want 'rif rafs' within their living, but if someone wants to buy a toy hauler to camp I take it from this video that is not allowed in this park?
Its so expensive because of the hoa. Lot rent. 60k for the lot. You might as well just buy a fixer upper. Better investment in my opinion. Especially not being right on the ocean. I dont see any investment in owning a camper pad.
Are you going to be able to stay in your rv on your Ohio land? In our state must counties have rules about how long u can be in an rv on your own property.
I am always trying to find a nice place to park my Class A for months at a time in FL. Most are full or way overpriced. I was wondering if there is any information on renting the their site in the summer?
A quick question for you regarding renting an rv site: If your looking at renting a spot through a social media platform such as Facebook, how can you make it isn’t just a scam, before transferring money for deposits?
Great question Donn. We have never rented a spot from Facebook, but we have had other bad experiences with dealing through Facebook. I’d suggest contacting them through Facebook and then speaking on the phone. I’d have exactly the same concern as you. There are soooo many scams on Facebook.
There’s been a few comments saying similar, but after a year of owning the spot, they haven’t had any complaints or disagreement at all. They are still very happy. Fingers crossed it stays that way 🤞
Hi Carla, that's true and they still plan to do that in their home town in Ohio. They like this as they do not have to worry about maintenance over the summer months when they are not there. Also, depending on where they buy the land there are county restrictions on whether you can live on your land in your trailer. You would also need to consider the cost of getting power to the property and most likely install a Well and a septic system.
Unfortunately not at this location. Sheds are allowed but you are not allowed to live in them. We also met another friend recently who have a tiny shack on the lot. They are not allowed to sleep in there or have a full kitchen. But can use it as a lounge and storage.
I think for Rob and Michelle the fact it covers all the lot maintenance and they have a system in place to rent the pad out for them when they are gone, was a benefit.
This video has information that could be misleading. In the video, there was reference to age discrimination. By law, this community would risk losing it's tax exemption status if they cross the threshold of residents under age 55.
Interesting point James. We don’t know too much about this and we don’t know the laws. We were under the impression that exceptions could be made, or perhaps a slight exception (say, under 20%). We would be interested to know for sure though….also if this is a federal tax or a state/county tax rule
It’s an investment. The property has doubled in value so when we sell in a few years it will payoff immensely. We will essentially be paid to winter in Florida and not have the headaches of booking a site a year in advance. We can come and go as we please.
Thank you, BB, very informative! Seems like so many RV'ers are looking for options for home base.
Absolutely. Many full timers are buying land or pads or houses. Covid really changed the way we look at things
@james-rd4dq Some of us do for the community and social aspect. Not everyone wants to be a complete introvert.
Isn’t it funny how people who are commenting, who you don’t know, want to tell you what to do with your money? They want to tell you that you’re wasting your money.

I love the setup they have. Yes being able to leave and someone else can maintain it
That is such a good idea, buy a pad as an investment.
I will take a look.
Thx guys for another great view.
Just throwing out other options ☺️😃
We did that in Cali. They only allow people in with luxury fifth wheels and luxury Class A, and no kids.
Thanks guys, you have given me some ideas of what I want / need for a winter home. Cheers.
Good deal for 60k. I'd say very good investment!

That'd be pretty cool to have a lot like that, But we'd be in the same boat we don't have a 5th wheel with full body paint either.

Give Facebook a search for ‘RV sites for sale or rent by owner’ 👍
Would much rather have land
We have a lot for sale in Titusville Florida The great outdoor resort. Any suggestions on advertising it??
Rob and Michelle found theirs on a Facebook group. So this would be a good place to look

It's nice until you hear about the HOH fees that will probably keep going up
Very true! We will stay in touch with Rob and Michelle to see how it changes over time
How do you find RV spots?
Are you going to be able to stay in your rv on your Ohio land? In our state must counties have rules about how long u can be in an rv on your own property.
We’ve forwarded this comment onto Ourlife whirlwind 👍
We have not pulled the trigger on land in Ohio yet so that answer is still up in the air at the moment.
I thought 61000 was cheap for a site until I remembered site means pitch 😂
Haha. Yes, very true. It’s a really nice place though and lots of space compared to some places 😁
@@11633 not my cup of tea 😆
You do pay someone to take care of the lot. $61000 seems like a lot. Is the price negotiable?
I believe the HOA fee's they pay covers the lawn care and surrounding areas. I am not sure about negotiating the prices, I will ask!
What was the HOA fee per month?
Great video I am looking for a spot in 4 years when I retire and will only be 50
Will you be looking in florida also?
@@BrazenBrits yes I think so
Full body paint, what does that mean?
Instead of vinyl stickers, the rig must be entirely painted and lacquered.
Thanks for the video. How far is Disney World from your campgrounds? Thank you again.
Disney is about a 90 minute drive from Ocala 👍👍
@@BrazenBrits thank you for getting back. As I will work in Disney for Security I need something around celebration or Kissimmee. Thank you again.
I am always trying to find a nice place to park my Class A for months at a time in FL. Most are full or way overpriced. I was wondering if there is any information on renting the their site in the summer?
Here is the link - hope it works www.hipcamp.com/florida/luxury-rv-resort/wilderness-rv-resort
A quick question for you regarding renting an rv site: If your looking at renting a spot through a social media platform such as Facebook, how can you make it isn’t just a scam, before transferring money for deposits?
Great question Donn. We have never rented a spot from Facebook, but we have had other bad experiences with dealing through Facebook. I’d suggest contacting them through Facebook and then speaking on the phone. I’d have exactly the same concern as you. There are soooo many scams on Facebook.
So many rules wow!
How did you find it, this is just what I want but in Utah or Colorado.
I asked and they said mainly Facebook groups and word of mouth.
You gotta deal with the rv/ trailer park Nazis
There’s been a few comments saying similar, but after a year of owning the spot, they haven’t had any complaints or disagreement at all. They are still very happy. Fingers crossed it stays that way 🤞
those are very expensive lots, and a HOA. Forget that!

Thank you Janelle 😁👍
That’s a rip off they could have paid $30k for their own land over an acre…
Hi Carla, that's true and they still plan to do that in their home town in Ohio. They like this as they do not have to worry about maintenance over the summer months when they are not there. Also, depending on where they buy the land there are county restrictions on whether you can live on your land in your trailer. You would also need to consider the cost of getting power to the property and most likely install a Well and a septic system.
Are Tiny Homes allowed as well?
Unfortunately not at this location. Sheds are allowed but you are not allowed to live in them. We also met another friend recently who have a tiny shack on the lot. They are not allowed to sleep in there or have a full kitchen. But can use it as a lounge and storage.
As soon as you say hoa I'm out
I think for Rob and Michelle the fact it covers all the lot maintenance and they have a system in place to rent the pad out for them when they are gone, was a benefit.
We're screwed in this country
Lawsuits?
Sorry Mary, what lawsuits?
I rather buy my own RV lot

They aren’t even approved as residents yet 😂
They are now 😁
This video has information that could be misleading. In the video, there was reference to age discrimination. By law, this community would risk losing it's tax exemption status if they cross the threshold of residents under age 55.
Interesting point James. We don’t know too much about this and we don’t know the laws. We were under the impression that exceptions could be made, or perhaps a slight exception (say, under 20%). We would be interested to know for sure though….also if this is a federal tax or a state/county tax rule
That is too expensive.is not worthy.
DINKS ,double income no kids
Almost. Rob does have two kids 👍
Not everything.
Hi Jean is there anything else you’d like us to cover or address?
At that price it's just plain stupidity. You can camp for 20 years and not even spent half that and being numerous beautiful locations
Really? It sounds like you are correct. Good advice.
Ya but can you get your money back?
It’s an investment. The property has doubled in value so when we sell in a few years it will payoff immensely. We will essentially be paid to winter in Florida and not have the headaches of booking a site a year in advance. We can come and go as we please.
