I've lived in various communities in Florida, from the panhandle to the gatorvilles north of Okeechobee. Of all of them, my place in Hobe Sound, near Jensen was my favorite. I should never have sold and moved to Arizona.
@@RussellWatsonFMHL I visit my parents right around the corner in Spanish Lakes in PSL. We’ve always wondered about these communities, we love Mulligans and Lures, many great places. Thanks for the videos. 👍🌴🌞
I noticed a sizable number of CoOp spaces for sale online at $35,900 at Tropical Acres in Jensen Beach. I don't know the reason but someone may want to look at them. There are also numerous lots for sale on the West Coast from Englewood to Charlotte Harbor which are more expensive and obviously a result of Hurricane Ian.
Those lots at Tropical Acres are vacant lots and have been on the market for 275 days according to Realtor.com. The price includes a share in the CoOp with monthly HOA fees of only $150. No dogs and relatively high taxes may be slowing sales. Interesting opportunity for the right buyer. No doubt there are lots of opportunities in Lee county area. That storm did a lot of damage,
Just to clarify info re Palm Circle Park we are a resident owned co-op. each owner ownes a share in the corp but does not actually own their lot. Monthly fee includes water and sewer. thanks for the great video, Chris-treasurer PCP
Well, you may think you are a CoOp. but DBPR - who regulates such things, has you licensed as a condominium project. And the Martin County Tax Assessor has your lots plotted out and owned individually - as is the custom in a condo project. In a CoOp, all the lots are owned by the CoOp and leased back to shareholders. So, if you are the Treasurer, you might want to look into where you got that information.
Your last few videos have made me start considering the east coast. Any thoughts on a future episode on Cypress Lakes in Lakeland, another area I've been considering?
It's the slightly smaller sibling in a two park set. It is owned by Equity Lifestyle Properties (ELS). Looks like lot rents are in the low to mid $800s. If you need help in evaluating a community I suggest my book: Retirement in Florida - Manufactured Homes & The Land-Lease Option amzn.to/3c3UMPJ
@@RussellWatsonFMHL Thank you for your prompt response. I recently had to purchase a home in this community because of the outrageous cost of rent in the Tampa area. I'm almost 41, so I barely got into The Winds. My question is I found a nice home in Colony Cove before I bought this place. I recently found out they are owned by the same company, but Colony Cove wouldn't budge and said they don't allow anyone under 55, they were super strict yet other parks the same company owns are 40+ (following the % rules). Is it usual for large companies who own parks have different age rules in place? I would have loved the house in CC, but they practically hung up on me when I told them my age. The Winds of St Armands, welcomed me right in.
Recommending parks is like recommending cars. Everyone has a different budget, tastes, and goals. Factors such as area, proximity, amenities, age, home prices, lot rent, etc. create too many variables. My ideal park, just like my ideal pair of shoes, won't fit you. I have visited that community and know people who live there. If it's a good fit for you, it is a beautiful park with a ton of amenities & activities. If you need help determining if a park is a good fit for you, sign up for my next workshop: fmhla.mykajabi.com/mh-new-buyer

Not that I have ever seen. Pet rules are park specific, can change, and may be at the discresion of the park manager. Your best be is to narrow down your choice of area as I outline in my book. Then get a list of communities in the area through our Inner Circle (free) access. Then contact those parks that interest you and ask. Alternatively you could contact agencies/agents (listed on the website) and ask.
How about doing a video about current brand new manufactured home price increases and availability. We ordered our home in April and the plant hasn't even started construction. This is in Citrus County and we have property in a POA community.
I'm aware of the problems home manufacturers are having. The home featured in the installation video was three months late. It may actually get worse as suppliers become more scarce and help continues to be hard to hire.
We feature opportunities to do that in many of our videos. Lakeland, Sebring, and Melbourne Beach all have such opportunities. For a good overview of such opportunities look at this group of videos: ruclips.net/video/10eCCZjxyJ0/видео.html

@@EVE6er14 Yes, even though they have the same owners these parks are all very different.
Loved the video, looking for double wide, close to water, and somewhat reasonable. Little north of Jenson. Any ideas? Thank you.

What about the west coast?
We've done videos in Bradenton. Punta Gorda, and North Fort Myers so far. Check out the channel here: ruclips.net/user/FloridaManufacturedHomeLiving
Do you do or Have ANY on the WEST COAST of Florida??
All our videos are listed on our RUclips channel. ruclips.net/user/FloridaManufacturedHomeLiving We did N.Ft Myers, Bradenton, Punta Gorda, etc.
Does anyone have a list of communities that allow larger dogs? We have a 45 lb dog and cannot live without him!

i notice no fencing. what do people do with dogs?
Most communities only allow dogs outside on a leash with the owner on the other end of the leash. Some do have dog parks. Very few allow fences.
How about doing a video about current brand new manufactured home price increases and availability. We ordered our home in April and the plant hasn't even started construction. This is in Citrus County and we have property in a POA community.
I'm aware of the problems home manufacturers are having. The home featured in the installation video was three months late. It may actually get worse as suppliers become more scarce and help continues to be hard to hire.
How long does it take to get to Datona beach from this area ?
About 2 1/2 hours
Edgewater FL?
There's only a few major land-lease communities in Edgewater. HACIENDA DEL RIO is the largest at around 800 homes.
Not looking for Beach property. but to own your own Lot
We feature opportunities to do that in many of our videos. Lakeland, Sebring, and Melbourne Beach all have such opportunities. For a good overview of such opportunities look at this group of videos: ruclips.net/video/10eCCZjxyJ0/видео.html

HAHAHAHA really hidden Gem? One of the most over crowed areas. Well guess you know that if you didn't just move here
I didn't find it overcrowded at all. Have you been to the Gulf coast in the last 10 years?
