I'm not sure where he got that $60,000 average from. Talk to anybody down by Channelside or Bayshore or South Tampa they're making at least $150-200k a year. Harbor Island rents demand that and more if following the 30% rule.
@@realjoedee Yeah literally the richest areas in Hillsborough county. In real terms only 15.5% of individuals make six figures. 30.7% of couples. So that means 69.3% of households make less than 99k and 84.5% of individuals. Tampa has been historically very low income. Not West Virginia low, but low for the area with this amount of people.
Moved here in 2020 and got out house just before major price spikes. Moved from Western New York and I would say despite no state taxes they get you in other ways. Our property taxes are the same. I had a much bigger house for less money in NY. Wages are lower. It’s 500$ to register your car for the first time in FL. Homeowners insurance is out of sight. We pay 3000k here vs 700$ in NY. Don’t believe the hype. The weather is awesome and it counts for a lot but the way people drive here the medical care and the various hidden costs I would say overall a financial Loss here.
That $2000 rent will only get you a 700 sq ft studio apartment. If you want a 2 bedroom you're looking at about $3K. A 3 bedroom is now $4K. As someone else stated we are now seeing California/NYC prices.
The cheapest places to live are in the Midwest in a very small town or City. All major cities are expensive since the jobs are in the Cities. Lot of crummy homes for sale in Tampa. Flippers doing slip shod work. Bad plumbing and Electrical, termite damage. Also check for sink hole prone areas like North of Tampa. Lots of people getting ripped off. Be careful.
It’s stupid expensive now! The urban sprawl and traffic congestion is horrible! I’ve lived in Florida for 25 years..over these last 15 it’s become a complete nightmare. This is a service industry economy! Manufacturing and jobs in that realm are few and far between! So working in wear house jobs and crap like that are the norm! Being able to afford a home or apartment is quickly becoming a pipe dream!!
I agree that it is really sad how quickly Tampa is becoming unaffordable for locals! I love how blue collar the area is and I hope that keeps us above water while tech cities struggle this year
@@LivinginTampa wait until other people from other state keep on moving to Florida it will get more expensive…..the more people movin to Florida the more expensive it will get
@@LivinginTampa one more thing Florida home insurance is so damn expensive…..plus lot of people who live in Florida makin minimum wage pay check its not enough for them to pay their rent…..
One thing to take into consideration is that there's no state income tax in FL. We bought our home in Historic Kenwood in 2008. The housing prices in our neighborhood have gone up dramatically. An advantage to the neighborhood is the establishment of the Artist Enclave. It's a zoning variance that allows artists to do a certain amount of business from the home (classes, open studio, etc.) without needing a business license.
Just moved here from the west coast. Grocery prices in Florida are higher than the west coast. $5 for a pepper ? A package of chicken breast that is under $15 in Seattle is over $20 in Florida.
Well. Good thing no one in my generation can afford a house. Useful advice to those in a ivory tower though. Florida is terrible for normal people now.
When I bought my first house, our household income was $51k and our interest rate was 4.75. Don’t waste time blaming other people, or the system. You can achieve whatever you want if you set your mind to it
@@LivinginTampa🇺🇸 Look at the affordable Midwest for your summer place. An R.V. can also be a 2nd home too. Lots of great lakes big and small up here. I don't like the blood-sucking summer mosquitoes in Florida.
The beaches here are packed. I rarely go to the beaches unless it's a weekday. I have a boat and would rather take that out and head north to the islands where on weekday, there's hardly anyone on those beaches.
My first house I bought was $59,000.00. That house now is worth almost half a million. I'm in the Clearwater Beach area. The one I live in now does have a pool and it's well worth over half a million. My home owners insurance doubled in one year. As for pools, get ready the chemical prices have skyrocketed. As for you lawn, you'll need to mow and trim once a week.
What are childcare fees like? How are the public school? What are private school tuitions like? What are the cost of activities through the city for children such as summer camps?
So adding that all up, excluding health insurance which can be about $250 a month for single, you have $750 month, maybe $500 after health insurance? How is that affordable making $60k a year?
Wages in Florida are low as well. A patient care tech in Seattle can make upwards of $30 an hour at a hospital. In Florida you are looking at $20 tops.
There are a lot of homes that are way overpriced. I am a Retired Realtor living presently on Social Security and for real Social Security has not adjusted properly along with the times. The Government isn't working on this huge problem. So your perception isn't for all demographics. I am angry that my 1 bed rent is now over my actual income base. So the greedy landlord can go to hell for it. My first ever apartment in 1976 was a 2bed 2bath for $150 a month in Louisville KY. I am from CT. and when I got home after the Army, I paid only $235.00 in Bristol CT in 1981. Today that same rent is $2500.00 which is really not worth it for that amount. I was a Realtor in CT. I am only 66 years old and retired early when I was 53. My nest egg is gone due to these extremely high rents in Tampa. Yeah, I am angry about it. And yes, I HATE TRUMP TO NO END!!!!! HE CAN GO TO HELL TOO!!!!
Well good morning everyone! Hope all is well... I am psysically disabled an I also use a cane... Would someone be interested in helping me move to Florida!!? 🤔
Nice video. I’m a single guy in his 30s considering moving back to Tampa next year. I wanna be able to meet people my age but also buy one of the typical single family homes, around the 500k range. I like Wesley Chapel but I fear it’s a little too far out to have a social life. Any recommendations?
If you put more than 20% down on a property you have the option to pay your property taxes separately if you would like. Most of our clients end up escrowing and rolling their property taxes into the monthly mortgage payment.
Are there still any single family homes to buy and hold as rentals under 350k? Any areas zip codes that you recommend in the Tampa area with good renters demand? Thank you!
I live in Tampa. One thing that wasn't mentioned is crime. Seems like I never had to even lock my front door till about 10 years ago-- about the same time that Northerners started moving here in Ernest. If you're from the northern states-- in the words of the vice president--- do not come-- do not come
Cost of gas. Is there a lot of road rage? We’re moving in about four months so that’ll be September 2022, as my gf is relocating to a job in zephyrhills. It’s just us 2 but we want a house 3bed/2 bath and a pool. We’d like to know about peaceful affluent areas near Zephyrhills.
I would watch a few of our videos on Wesley Chapel. It could be a good option for you that is close to Zephyrhills. If it would be useful to you, we can setup a time to talk via Zoom to process any questions you have as you prepare for the move.
I live in that area , it's miserable lots of traffic with no street growth, places arealways busy and pack ,there is alot of homeless and crime , that type of rental will be 3k plus maybe look into dade city area connects to zhills , look for doctors now!

Hi Sam, thanks for the information. So if we purchase the house say at 550K, but the property tax was only at say 400k as homestead exemption. will it be adjusted to the sale price once we move in or we can apply for the lower house value?
It depends on a few more factors related to the local area where the house is. If you email me a property address you are interested in, I can get you a more complete picture. I always round up because it always seems higher than you expect
@@LivinginTampa thanks Sam for the quick response. My husband and I are from DC, we’ve been looking into moving down to Tampa. We haven’t got everything lined up yet. But We’ll reach out to you when we have a better idea of the next step. Btw, I really your videos 😊
It will be adjusted to the new sale price minus 50k for homestead. You will not pay what the previous owner pay. Homestead in Florida is usually 50k discount off the market value
I’m a recent grad moving to Tampa from PA in early August for my new job. At $63,000 a year, what areas should I look at for affordable rent? The office is located in Tampa (Martin Luther Blvrd) and I would like to keep my commute under 20 minutes
Not Tampa. You need to make at least twice that amount to live in the city. If you don't mind a 45 minutes to an hour drive, then you may find something reasonable. Otherwise you're living in the ghetto.
Florida is overpriced and valued in relation to the pay rates of the area. If you are bringing a WFH job with you, better CYA that it will not be outsourced during the coming recession. I am a local, Tampa is okay but it is not what people who have moved here in the last couple years are making it out to be and the shine will wear off and they will notice it as well. The feeling I get is that a lot of locals are going to sell to out of towners and flippers. They will all move to cheaper areas like Mississippi, because lets be honest if you are a local you'll fit in there also. What will be left is new comers who will more than likely leave when times get tough and head back to areas they have folks at. So Tampa will be left worse off.
Dang man that’s a pretty bleak outlook. I agree that the shine will wear off for sure! I really hope that pay starts to go up enough to keep true locals here. And I’m not a true local AT ALL!
Do you have any good local sites to find rentals? I’m in the final stage for my first job out of college and it’s down in st pete’s. i’m from up north. Unless I screw it up, i’m hoping i’ll have to be down there in a month and don’t know where to start!
