I would lkve to see a video on the best places to buy a single family home not ON the coast, but within maybe 5 to 10 miles from the coast that would cost less, but would still be near enough to enjoy the water at a more reasonable cost....and also be safer from storm surge. Thanks.
Closing costs and stamps vary depending on county and if you are financing or paying cash. But is generally never more than 2% of the entire sale amount. And yes, foreigners can buy real estate here!
First class videos Michael. They reflect knowledge, experience, creativity and integrity with no hype or obnoxious up-selling. You are giving the world a valuable gift.
Thank you very much Glen for you awesome comment. I enjoy doing it, and I am thrilled that my videos are helping so many people. Thank you for watching 😊
Hi Michael, I live in Jacksonville, Fl, from Palm Beach County, Fl ...all I needed to see was the area code 32209 ... you typically want to stay away from, Worst ZIP Code in Jacksonville as far as crime. Ponte Vedra Beach here is the nicest and most crime free area to be.... Now I will say that the Springfield area near downtown is upcoming and becoming very nice, especially for younger people, 1st time buyers... You will get a huge house with a lot of Charm for your money but most will be fixer-upper’s. This area at one point was where all the movie stars and rich people lived way back in the day 😊 Palatka Florida is an old, somewhat charming city, very laid back, not a whole lot to do there. You do have the beautiful Saint johns river but about an hour from the beach. Starke Florida has basically nothing to offer. Not many jobs, Very poor city and the state prison is there. (just my 2-cents) LOVE your videos, advice and info... keep up the great work!! 😁
Being a native Floridian, you probably know a lot more about Florida than I do and I appreciate you giving all of your local wisdom on these areas for any would be buyers. I didn't take into consideration the areas at all for this video, only the price. But the next one this series is going to be a better price point and looking forward to putting it out soon! So glad you love the videos Karen!!
Michael Bordenaro Oh yes, I absolutely know that video is about price only and I was actually blown away, I never knew you could actually buy a house at those prices. And even though I am from Florida I still learn many things from your videos and enjoy watching them! Would love to see more research re: Saint Augustine (thinking about moving there from Jacksonville because it’s still an easy commute if I had to work in Jacksonville...was inspired from one of your videos) ...and maybe research the Keys, where I vacationed many summers growing up 😊 I recently lost my Dad and have such great memories from The Keys ... thanks again, your awesome!
@@karennicholas2420 Yes me too actually! I couldn't believe there are houses at this price anywhere anymore, let alone FL. I would love to do more vids on St Aug and the Keys, but I am not traveling anywhere (overnight) for now due to the virus. Trying to stay on the safeside. Plus, I fee like when I go to these areas I want to be free and experience them just like pre-virus days, and visit the attractions, go to the restaurants etc to really give you and everyone watching the real experience, instead of this crappy one we are having now. I am really looking forward to doing that once this is all done
Yes, please do one or more by price bands, like up to $150K, #250K, $350K. Realtor.com has maps that include crime; you may want to look at that sometime. Great work, thanks for sharing.
Excellent, yes I would like to do more in those price ranges. Crime can probably be an entirely separate video too, thanks for the suggestions😀 Glad you enjoyed!
Michael, I was thinking a good idea for a video right now would be a kind of vlog filmed over the weekend talking about your feelings and preparations for this hurricane comimg towards South Florida. For a lot of us hurricaines are our biggest fear about relocating to FL and the news media creates so much hype, that it might be really interesting for us all to see the reality of how you feel knowing it is coming and the real impact it has on the life of a person as you live through the threat, the event and the aftermath. I know this is a Cat 1, but it would be interesting. If you cannot do it this time, you could keep the idea in mind for another time. Anyway, KEEP SAFE.
I may end up chronicling some of it, depending on what happens. But in case you didn't see it, I actually did this a year ago for Dorian, I'll link it here! ruclips.net/video/aWFYF4Vc6sU/видео.html
GREAT video, Michael !! Thank you for this valuable intel........However, there is usually a big difference between price and " value". Thank you , once again......Godspeed....
I’m a Floridian girl who moved to Italy 5 years ago, now I’m coming back to Florida and I found a beautiful (115k $) house! I’m so happy to come back but, actually, I wish I knew bout this video before 😅 btw amazing video! Edit. The house I found is in south Florida, near Bonita Spring
@@MichaelBordenaro thank you man! I’ve been living in Estero actually and I was very surprised bout the house when I’ve seen it! So I just bought it haha
Ocala actually has mostly new home construction with decent lots and trees. Population increasing by 1% per year. Nice town, good customer service, possibly Florida's best kept secret.
While probably not your target audience, I would be interested in learning more about 55+ communities in both south and central FL as well as properties that are geared toward short term rentals (either single family homes or condos but not mobile/manufactured homes). A desirable price range would be between $70K-150K.
I have had some similar requests from others getting ready to retire down here, so I think I have a decent amount of would be FL retirees watching so I plan on making some videos like that too! Thanks for the input👍
Hey Michael how's it going today? I was just thinking about some of the questions I have concerning coming to Florida. Wanted to share those with you. If you've already covered these subjects in another video then just don't worry bout answering them. 1. Hot Springs Have you ever been to any of the hot springs in Florida? If so do you have a favorite one? Would you be able to rate for Hot Springs? Are there alligators excetera in the hot springs? Can we go to the hot springs during this pandemic? Have you ever been to the Crystal River area? 2. Dog parks And where are dogs allowed in Florida? Are there dog parks in Florida? Can you take your dog on the beach or are there only certain Beaches they are allowed on? can you take your dogs into restaurants? Do you know anything about the cost of veterinarian services in Florida? I know this can vary dramatically from area to area and state-to-state. Are all dog breeds allowed in Florida? I know sometimes there are restrictions. 3. insects and snakes and alligators Etc. Obviously in the Everglades are going to be Gators. Can you tell us where else we might find these creatures in Florida? Can you give us the lowdown on the bugs? Exactly what kind of insects are abundant in Florida are abundant in Florida? I've heard you are abundant in Florida? I've heard you talk a little bit are abundant in Florida? I've heard you talk a little bit about are abundant in Florida? I've heard you talk a little bit about this subject in another video. What kind of snakes are there in Florida? oh and I might as well ask you about the sharks in the water off the Florida beaches if that is a problem? 4. Grocery stores and fresh food markets. obviously with such a high population I'm sure there's plenty of grocery stores around. But can you tell us about what chain grocery stores are there in Florida? Where are the Costcos located? And lastly tell us about the fresh fruit and vegetable markets. Organic and are there many around the state? 5. Lastly I'm sure there are Healthcare facilities in every major city. Have you heard anything about one city being Better equipped than another as far as hospitals and Medical Care go? Sorry for any typos and also I know some of these questions may seem obvious and simplistic :-) I'm just old so thank you for your kind patience :-)
Hi Linnea, doing good, how about yourself? Wow those are a lot of questions! I don't think I will really be able to answer most of these just in a comment, but it does give me some additional video ideas. Also, I recommend for folks like yourself who have this many questions, maybe you would be interested in doing a one on one call with me? If so, the link is here 😊michaelbordenaro.com/book-service/
@@MichaelBordenaro Yes actually I meant to say these might be ideas for additional videos. I did quite a bit of research a couple months back into y other RUclips channels as to what makes them so popular to the point where they can make some income off of the videos. Over and over again it was stated they do as many videos as possible. A couple of the guys do a video a day. Unbelievable huh? I know they are a lot of work. I know your goal is not too just make money but also to provide many of us with information and you doing a great job. No need to comment on any of the questions I ask, but I do look forward one day to a video about them :-) :-) for 9 years I had one of the largest vintage clothing sites online and I did a lot of marketing :-) so I have a itty bitty bit of experience :-) we are doing okay here just tired of being in quarantine and we want to get to the beach! Only problem is it's a couple thousand miles away LOL. Okay again we appreciate your videos and all the hard work you put into them, l i n n e a
I don't know about hot springs, as far as grocery stores go they have a few different varieties from what I've seen and public grocery stores everywhere. Every now and then depending on searching for the closest fruit and vegetable market and stand you can buy fruits and vegetables from the side of the road and random places. They're going to be bugs everywhere but you should be okay. Don't know much about the other stuff.
Michael,....having an enjoyable time watching this video with my girlfriend,.....We noticed that these homes listed on Zillow didn't have the usual realtor buzzwords that should apply to these listings like ''owner anxious''(please take this nightmare off of my hands),....' 'shows well'' ( as long as you look at it from the street ),..'' motivated seller;'' ( whatever you offer we will take),...,....and this classic '' water view''( a puddle will form in your front yard after it rains''. To be fair you did describe each house honestly,......and with the respect it deserved. Excellent video as always
I'm glad it gave you and your girlfriend some entertainment value 😄 It's too bad some of the buzzwords were not in these listings, it might actually help in their case lol. But to be fair, they are extremely cheap and actually houses, not apts or mobiles, so I didn't want to rip on them too bad
@@MichaelBordenaro Michael,.....as a realtor you have obviously heard the term ''location, location,....and location determines the price, ..so, ....with all due respect to the current owners of at least 8 of those 10 homes. If they were in San Francisco, Los Angeles,....or The Hamptons they would be selling for the high ''6 figures'' (that's $600,000 to $900,000 thank you very much) so let us all take a deep breath for a moment and enjoy the insanity of the real estate market.
I'm not a native, but I've lived in Jacksonville most of my life. So I stayed in a few places. Get a local. I've stayed in the 32009 area code and yeah that is not a place for people that don't know Jacksonville....I've also stayed in the 32111 or something like that...that's a decent area, but my definition of decent is completely different from anyone else. And idk the zip code to the other places, but I can tell you that if there is a military base in the area that is close to the beach, that area is lovely.
Thumbs up! Well done and helpful as always. I have been planning a return to my home state of Florida to "retire" (whatever that means!) but which is currently on the shelf due to all the uncertainty. Anyway, my plan was looking at condos (mostly in the Treasure Coast or Bradenton/Sarasota) in the $100,000 range with HOAs in the $300 ballpark since I would be pretty much on a fixed income. However I am now considering going a bit higher to buy an actual house which could maybe be cheaper in the long run. Of course the cheaper stuff is generally away from the coasts or in shadier areas (and I don't mean from the palm trees!). Anyway, I've been Zillowing out with an eye for that sweet deal -- and of course watching your videos :)
Thanks Ross, if you have a good idea in mind of what you’re looking for and you keep your eyes open I think eventually you’ll find what you’re looking for. Hopefully the videos will help you along the way getting back to Florida and retiring👌
Thank you Lemard for the kind wishes, all good as of me typing this now. We have had much worse in the past. I think I may release a video about it tomorrow 👍
Many of these homes are in the Florida Panhandle. Which is where I live and moved from Tennessee 3 years ago. Fountain is near Panama City. I'm surprised you found a house that cheap in Panama City post Hurricane Michael but it could be in the slums. As you know this is a very rural area. The beaches here are gorgeous though.
I was surprised to see houses this cheap anywhere in Florida. And being driving distance to some of the best beaches in the country, well that’s not too bad
This video had one goal to show the cheapest houses I could find and that's it. Neighborhoods and what it's like living there is a totally separate video in my opinion
This is purely for entertainment right? Good of you to point out, that the luxury community in Boca will charge $75k membership. Another problem with just surfing (Cheap) houses on Zillow, is that the 55+ deals will float to the top, and unless you're 55, useless distraction. If you really want to present some budget deals that are realistic, maybe Vero Beach or Sebastian. Not too far from civilization, but still affordable, close to the water, and growing enough that the house won't drop 50% in 1 year. Another wild card place I toured on my last visit was Cape Canaveral. Some real blue light specials there, that you really can't know from the ad if there are mitigating circumstances. Thanks for another entertaining vid.
Well I think it’s a mix of both entertainment and real info. Would anyone actually buy any of these houses don’t know. But they are real deals of places for sale. As long as you were entertained by it, my job is done😀👏
Can you do a video of Brevard county palm bay 32908, and acklawaha close to Silver dollar lake Marion county. My friend lived there but moved to Spain.Thank you
Well these houses are pretty much as cheap is it gets in all of FL for a livable house. I would compare the price of a brand new block house to these findings and see if it might be worth it to build new. You could save by doing some of the construction yourself, and if the price was only marginally more expensive to build new, probably a better idea 👍
Michael good morning.what is the web side you looking for the 🏠 besides Zillow.com.I see in your side show somes spot map with somes points,maybe is different ling.Thank you for your time.
Hi Ana I found all of the listings and made the entire video using Zillow. The only other site I use besides Zillow is realtor.com and my own MLS system but neither one are used this video
hi im from new york, thinking on moving to florida, i apply to get home but need it prove of income over there and was denied the loan because i live in new york. Any advise?
that's strange because people do that all the time, and the income should not be location specific. Is your lender in new york? Best advice I can give you is a referral for a new lender here in FL
225 to 275k price point would be great! Also, for crime statistics in a map format to know whether an area is safe or at least relatively speaking would be on realtor.com
I also think this would be a good price point for most of FL and I may end up including the crime stats or possibly make a separate video about the crime👍
Eye Care plant city has a quaint little downtown, has a really good Financial infrastructure and is attracting a lot of companies to the area. Stop Bridge traffic and not much traffic and is within an hour or so from all the great attractions :-) Thanks again for all your great videos keeping us informed! Enjoyed watching your intermediate fasting video. So fascinating.
@@tryloveinstead7104 Thanks jumping in here! I love when viewers help each other in the comments like this, as I cannot know everything lol. So nice to hear that you are enjoying the videos 😀
$150,000 to 200,000 is mypick......my opinion on these homes ya....some of em i wouldnt feel safe in them from a judging a book by its cover point of view...good prices though
Thanks for the input Dan I’ll definitely be doing a follow up in this price range. It’s tough to say I couldn’t really get a sense of the area on some of these. A couple of them looked really sketchy the other ones more just rural than anything
We where talking a lot about moving to Florida next year with apartments or a house to lease with a pool.. but now we’re thinking is buying is cheaper then renting?please let me know?
It can be cheaper in some areas. I always recommend everyone to run the numbers on both in the area you are considering. Its the only way to know if its cheaper.
Anyone can look up these houses in five minutes. That’s the whole point. This is not a crime or neighborhood stats video. Just the cheapest houses I could find✌️
The point of the video is to show that you can get something really cheap. Of course if you go up even just a little bit in price you might be able to find a nicer property in a nicer area
To be honest, not your target audience type of homes, lol. Of some these places, I’ve heard not so good things, albeit I’ve never been so I cannot judge. I’ve just heard. I personally would not buy any of these. Just my thoughts. Also, I’d love to see homes in the 100,000-200,000 range, like Miami/Bal Harbor areas! Great video though, was interesting what’s at that price point.
Not my kind of houses either. But it’s good for people to see that you actually can buy a house here for this price. Not a mobile home an actual house. Thanks for the thoughts on Miami and the price points. I totally plan on making some of those too
If a house has been listed that long and I am the listing agent, I will probably make a strong negotiation with the owner to sell, or walk away from the deal. Overpriced listings waste a lot of time from a real estate agent's perspective, and frankly money for the owner too, especially if the place is vacant.
@@MichaelBordenaro is that a red flag for buyers that there's something wrong with the house or area, if its not necessarily overpriced? When using Zillow I use the overlay of crime, but who knows if its right?! 😉 thank you for your knowledge and insight as always.
Yes I think it's safe to say as a buyer it would be a red flag. However, don't discount the property if you like it you should actually look at it and possibly even make an offer and have an inspection done because if everything checks out then it might just be an overlooked deal because Sometimes when a place is on the market for too long people just stop noticing it. Of course the area is a big factor too
Agreed. $200,000 is an excellent price point. Also, for the next video could we please see on a map where in Florida these towns are? Some of the towns most people know where they are (e.g. Jacksonville), but most of the other towns I don't think many had any idea where they are.
@@VomBethel Yes I like the 200k price range also for a follow up. This was still interesting though to see how cheap a house can be here. TBH, I don't know where most of these towns are either, but you can look any of them up you are curious about
There are cheap houses everywhere, but it all depends on the quality of life you want. If you are planning on settling for a shitty job and have no ambition to pursue a real career, some of these cities may be what you are looking for. But if you are willing to spend half your day driving to and from work then a lot of these may be for you. But there are tons of people moving to FL. So that says something about how f***ed up the rest of the country is. The people make Florida what it is. There is a lot of scum that moves there and they bring their baggage with them.
Yep quality of life and the standards you set for yourself are definitely a big part of it. I personally wouldn't live in any of these houses but that doesn't mean others might and actually enjoy it and have a low payment. All depends 🤷♂️ The point of the video was to show that there are actually options in this price range. So many people complain that FL is unaffordable
I don't think they are that bad, they must have lasted through previous hurricanes since none of them are brand new. Of course not the nicest houses, but I saw much worse on my search for these
These houses are a Nice Upgrade..........for homeless people,,,,,,,,jeez man, a mid class family or individual wouldn't choose to live here, make something between the range of $200k-$500, people want to live nice now a days))))
..................never heard of this city.....says the realtor from MB from his 17th floor condo..... ..........BTW you found 10 cheap Homes not 10 cheap Cities.......location // location //
Let me know below which other cities in Florida or price points you would like to see me cover in the future!
Do you may know what the cost of buying a house is in Florida in terms of legal fees and stamp duty etc and can a foreigner buy a property in Florida?
I would lkve to see a video on the best places to buy a single family home not ON the coast, but within maybe 5 to 10 miles from the coast that would cost less, but would still be near enough to enjoy the water at a more reasonable cost....and also be safer from storm surge. Thanks.
Closing costs and stamps vary depending on county and if you are financing or paying cash. But is generally never more than 2% of the entire sale amount. And yes, foreigners can buy real estate here!
Someone else requested something similar, and I like the idea👍
These houses that you showed will be wiped out within a second by a Hurrican 5.
Some of these houses looks like they are on “true crime” tv shows LOL
Some of them just might be!😆
maybe not.
😂

Thank you very much Glen for you awesome comment. I enjoy doing it, and I am thrilled that my videos are helping so many people. Thank you for watching 😊
They are cheap for a reason. Usually it’s in the middle of nowhere or high crime area.
That very well may be. But they are houses for less than 50 K still👍
This video is amazing! I could sit and watch for hours! Great work bud
Thanks a lot Jacob! Hopefully you'll enjoy my other vids just as much 👍

Hello I m from India u visited India
@Karen Nicholas Thank you for the heads up! I guess, the best way to find a decent dwelling in Fl is to to see all these places by yrself

Thank You Mike, the ways things are going , we need cheap houses, yes keep on looking if you don't mind.

I don't know about hot springs, as far as grocery stores go they have a few different varieties from what I've seen and public grocery stores everywhere. Every now and then depending on searching for the closest fruit and vegetable market and stand you can buy fruits and vegetables from the side of the road and random places. They're going to be bugs everywhere but you should be okay. Don't know much about the other stuff.
Michael,....having an enjoyable time watching this video with my girlfriend,.....We noticed that these homes listed on Zillow didn't have the usual realtor buzzwords that should apply to these listings like ''owner anxious''(please take this nightmare off of my hands),....' 'shows well'' ( as long as you look at it from the street ),..'' motivated seller;'' ( whatever you offer we will take),...,....and this classic '' water view''( a puddle will form in your front yard after it rains''. To be fair you did describe each house honestly,......and with the respect it deserved. Excellent video as always
I'm glad it gave you and your girlfriend some entertainment value 😄 It's too bad some of the buzzwords were not in these listings, it might actually help in their case lol. But to be fair, they are extremely cheap and actually houses, not apts or mobiles, so I didn't want to rip on them too bad
@@MichaelBordenaro Michael,.....as a realtor you have obviously heard the term ''location, location,....and location determines the price, ..so, ....with all due respect to the current owners of at least 8 of those 10 homes. If they were in San Francisco, Los Angeles,....or The Hamptons they would be selling for the high ''6 figures'' (that's $600,000 to $900,000 thank you very much) so let us all take a deep breath for a moment and enjoy the insanity of the real estate market.
@@Tonymanero1960 Yep, you are totally right, and this does directly highlight just how important a desirable location is when it comes to price
Great video. Chipley is the sticks. I have family there.
I hadn’t heard of most of these areas but was an interesting video to research and make for sure !
100,000. To 200,000 would be a good price range for me and my next door neighbors.
I'm not a native, but I've lived in Jacksonville most of my life. So I stayed in a few places. Get a local. I've stayed in the 32009 area code and yeah that is not a place for people that don't know Jacksonville....I've also stayed in the 32111 or something like that...that's a decent area, but my definition of decent is completely different from anyone else. And idk the zip code to the other places, but I can tell you that if there is a military base in the area that is close to the beach, that area is lovely.
Another great video !
Thank you very much!!
Great vid 🔥try to do one in the down south next time if you can
Sounds good, I like that idea too 👌
Hey Mike! My movie has been delayed. I hope to be out there by the beginning of year. Thanks for all the great info as always.
also: Nice hair cut!
thank you!!
Moving here at the beginning of the year is a great time move to FL. New year, so time to start a new life, and its winter here and beautiful!
Maybe go over good neighborhoods good schools with prices under 200,0000
Thanks for the suggestion, I have an update coming on this real soon😉
Fountain is beautiful is in Bay county
45 minutes to Panama city and 25 minutes to Dothan Alabama driving on 231
Thumbs up! Well done and helpful as always. I have been planning a return to my home state of Florida to "retire" (whatever that means!) but which is currently on the shelf due to all the uncertainty. Anyway, my plan was looking at condos (mostly in the Treasure Coast or Bradenton/Sarasota) in the $100,000 range with HOAs in the $300 ballpark since I would be pretty much on a fixed income. However I am now considering going a bit higher to buy an actual house which could maybe be cheaper in the long run. Of course the cheaper stuff is generally away from the coasts or in shadier areas (and I don't mean from the palm trees!). Anyway, I've been Zillowing out with an eye for that sweet deal -- and of course watching your videos :)
Thanks Ross, if you have a good idea in mind of what you’re looking for and you keep your eyes open I think eventually you’ll find what you’re looking for. Hopefully the videos will help you along the way getting back to Florida and retiring👌
@@MichaelBordenaro : )
I hope you be ok from the bad weather coming there this weekend.
Thank you Lemard for the kind wishes, all good as of me typing this now. We have had much worse in the past. I think I may release a video about it tomorrow 👍
Well, that is good. At least the storm may not hit Miami at full force.
Thank you ! I will be consulting with you
Awesome! Look forward to it!
Great video. Can you do the same video about cheap properties close to the beach (e.g. within 20 min drive to the beach)?
Thank you! Yes, that is a great suggestion👌
Many of these homes are in the Florida Panhandle. Which is where I live and moved from Tennessee 3 years ago. Fountain is near Panama City. I'm surprised you found a house that cheap in Panama City post Hurricane Michael but it could be in the slums. As you know this is a very rural area. The beaches here are gorgeous though.
I was surprised to see houses this cheap anywhere in Florida. And being driving distance to some of the best beaches in the country, well that’s not too bad
What part of Tennessee did you move from??
I might just move back to TN 😫😫😫 FL is too much
Can you talk about the surrounding area, down sides, benefits, etc ? Price is important yes, but we don't wanna end up living in a dangerous place...
This video had one goal to show the cheapest houses I could find and that's it. Neighborhoods and what it's like living there is a totally separate video in my opinion
Does all this means buying the house you also own the land from then onwards? Is it okay to demolish the house and rebuild your own design?
Sometimes that is possible but you will need to get permission from the local town or city to demolish and rebuild
Michael,
Thanks for great video, what about house in the Miami, Miami Beach area?
Thank you Carmen! Yes totally, it's on my list actually already. Will be doing that for sure 👌
This is purely for entertainment right? Good of you to point out, that the luxury community in Boca will charge $75k membership. Another problem with just surfing (Cheap) houses on Zillow, is that the 55+ deals will float to the top, and unless you're 55, useless distraction. If you really want to present some budget deals that are realistic, maybe Vero Beach or Sebastian. Not too far from civilization, but still affordable, close to the water, and growing enough that the house won't drop 50% in 1 year. Another wild card place I toured on my last visit was Cape Canaveral. Some real blue light specials there, that you really can't know from the ad if there are mitigating circumstances. Thanks for another entertaining vid.
Well I think it’s a mix of both entertainment and real info. Would anyone actually buy any of these houses don’t know. But they are real deals of places for sale. As long as you were entertained by it, my job is done😀👏
Some of these "houses" look a little scary.
Yes they do lol!
The first house looks like Paul Millers house (gypsy crusader)
Can you do a video of Brevard county palm bay 32908, and acklawaha close to Silver dollar lake Marion county. My friend lived there but moved to Spain.Thank you
Price between $100,000 to $150,000.
Thanks, that sounds like a decent price range that most people can afford 👍
Hi Michael, I'm trying to find a tiny blockhouse in Florida with one bedroom and one bath. Would it be cheaper to have one built? Thanks!
Well these houses are pretty much as cheap is it gets in all of FL for a livable house. I would compare the price of a brand new block house to these findings and see if it might be worth it to build new. You could save by doing some of the construction yourself, and if the price was only marginally more expensive to build new, probably a better idea 👍
Michael good morning.what is the web side you looking for the 🏠 besides Zillow.com.I see in your side show somes spot map with somes points,maybe is different ling.Thank you for your time.
Hi Ana I found all of the listings and made the entire video using Zillow. The only other site I use besides Zillow is realtor.com and my own MLS system but neither one are used this video
I'm thinking house/condos with good amenities priced between 500.000 to 1500.000 dollars where do you get most bang for your buck?
Also a good suggestion. I am planning on doing several follow ups at different price points for everyone 👍
Grab your gun houses!!! I was looking for chalk outlines on the floor.
Haha yes maybe 😂
If those houses have increasing value every year then those could be good investment, but I doubt they will increase at all in the next 10 years.
It’s hard to say I’m sure right now with how crazy the market is even these houses are going up in value
Son these neighborhoods got meth houses on every corner
That may be the case, I don't really know. But the fact is, they are cheap and sometimes that comes with the territory🤷♂️
It’ Meth houses in some of the nice Suburban areas..
I would like to move to the Naples, Bonita springs , Cape coral , Ft Meyers area in the next 2 years
Beautiful area of FL. 2 years goes by quick!
hi im from new york, thinking on moving to florida, i apply to get home but need it prove of income over there and was denied the loan because i live in new york. Any advise?
that's strange because people do that all the time, and the income should not be location specific. Is your lender in new york? Best advice I can give you is a referral for a new lender here in FL
Trying to pick a place to build a new house in Florida
225 to 275k price point would be great! Also, for crime statistics in a map format to know whether an area is safe or at least relatively speaking would be on realtor.com
I also think this would be a good price point for most of FL and I may end up including the crime stats or possibly make a separate video about the crime👍
Mike, your eyes are very green in this video.🤩😂
Yep that’s because I am facing the window in this one. I think I will do more like this 😀
His eyes are soooo beautiful right? I wish I could swap with him once in awhile.😂 😍
@@Lisithedogwalker Don't make me blush🥰
Could you do a video about Lakeland?
Possibly, I don't much about the area, but one day when I have a chance to actually visit I would like to
We hear devenport and celebration are good towns to live in?
Yes I would say so 👍
Not a bad list
Would like to see prices between $ 700000 to $ 1000000
That would be a fun one to make😀
Hi, enjoy your videos. How about Plant City?
Hey thanks! I never heard of it. I looked on the map, and see it's near Lakeland which is a pretty decent area, so maybe this is too
@@MichaelBordenaro Cool 😊
Eye Care plant city has a quaint little downtown, has a really good Financial infrastructure and is attracting a lot of companies to the area. Stop Bridge traffic and not much traffic and is within an hour or so from all the great attractions :-) Thanks again for all your great videos keeping us informed! Enjoyed watching your intermediate fasting video. So fascinating.
@@tryloveinstead7104 Thanks jumping in here! I love when viewers help each other in the comments like this, as I cannot know everything lol. So nice to hear that you are enjoying the videos 😀
@@MichaelBordenaro Sorry 4 the typos I have cataracts, I am old haha, thx 4 your help
Is there a realtor that deals with foreign investors ? Been trying to get in touch with zillow but no luck .
Give my team a call at 786-321-2251 and we'll see if we can help 👌
Really Starke has the Florida state penitentiary
Oh well, there are still cheap houses there, which is the point of the video 👍
Now for medium price homes
What are the most affordable bur preety places in Florida?
Check out the video I just released a few minutes ago! That is a good start 👍
The house in palatka looks like a boiled egg with windows lol
😂🍳
$150,000 to 200,000 is mypick......my opinion on these homes ya....some of em i wouldnt feel safe in them from a judging a book by its cover point of view...good prices though
Thanks for the input Dan I’ll definitely be doing a follow up in this price range. It’s tough to say I couldn’t really get a sense of the area on some of these. A couple of them looked really sketchy the other ones more just rural than anything
We where talking a lot about moving to Florida next year with apartments or a house to lease with a pool.. but now we’re thinking is buying is cheaper then renting?please let me know?
It can be cheaper in some areas. I always recommend everyone to run the numbers on both in the area you are considering. Its the only way to know if its cheaper.
Starke FL that's the ghetto!
Yeah but its cheap!
We are group will retire soon love Beach safely enjoying life. Do Florida is safe?
Most of FL is pretty safe, especially areas near the beach
Bro, the few hours of research on the neighborhoods would improve the value of this video immensely. I can look up these houses in 5 minutes.
Anyone can look up these houses in five minutes. That’s the whole point. This is not a crime or neighborhood stats video. Just the cheapest houses I could find✌️
What about the space coast areas??
That is a very nice area

What about cheap land in Orlando
I need to buy a home within or suburb outside of Orlando. Single family to two bedroom.
STARK WAS A LITTLE TOWN DONT KNOW IF IT HAS GROWN LARGER OR NOT MT GREAT AUNT HAD A BAR THERE,CHIPLEY IS OUT IN NO WHERE LAND
At this time do not care about cheap, just don't want to get the virus!
Cheap probably matters to more people now more than ever since so many people have been laid off or out of work etc.
A more realistic price up to 150k with a large lot
The point of the video is to show that you can get something really cheap. Of course if you go up even just a little bit in price you might be able to find a nicer property in a nicer area
To be honest, not your target audience type of homes, lol. Of some these places, I’ve heard not so good things, albeit I’ve never been so I cannot judge. I’ve just heard. I personally would not buy any of these. Just my thoughts. Also, I’d love to see homes in the 100,000-200,000 range, like Miami/Bal Harbor areas! Great video though, was interesting what’s at that price point.
Not my kind of houses either. But it’s good for people to see that you actually can buy a house here for this price. Not a mobile home an actual house. Thanks for the thoughts on Miami and the price points. I totally plan on making some of those too
Michael Bordenaro Exactly, that’s a great point. And thank you for making these videos!
@@TheRalphie2020 Absolutely! It is super fun for me to make them 😀
Michael Bordenaro Thanks again! And stay safe weather wise this weekend! Maybe you can make a video about it!
@@TheRalphie2020 Thanks, we will stay safe. Depending on what happens, it could spawn a video. Keeping our eyes open
Make a video with houses worth $40,000-$100,000
I have a feeling it won't get too much better, until we get pretty close to the 100k mark 😉
Michael Bordenaro how about under $30,000
@@erickh82082 When I was doing this search, there were not any houses in this range. Only houses that need a complete reno or mobile homes
Do you get concerned when houses have been listed for 300 - 637 days? Or is that a bargaining tactic?
If a house has been listed that long and I am the listing agent, I will probably make a strong negotiation with the owner to sell, or walk away from the deal. Overpriced listings waste a lot of time from a real estate agent's perspective, and frankly money for the owner too, especially if the place is vacant.
@@MichaelBordenaro is that a red flag for buyers that there's something wrong with the house or area, if its not necessarily overpriced? When using Zillow I use the overlay of crime, but who knows if its right?! 😉 thank you for your knowledge and insight as always.
Yes I think it's safe to say as a buyer it would be a red flag. However, don't discount the property if you like it you should actually look at it and possibly even make an offer and have an inspection done because if everything checks out then it might just be an overlooked deal because Sometimes when a place is on the market for too long people just stop noticing it. Of course the area is a big factor too
Would like to see a price point of 200,000 dollars
I think that is a good price point for the next one!
Agreed. $200,000 is an excellent price point. Also, for the next video could we please see on a map where in Florida these towns are? Some of the towns most people know where they are (e.g. Jacksonville), but most of the other towns I don't think many had any idea where they are.
Agree!
@@VomBethel Yes I like the 200k price range also for a follow up. This was still interesting though to see how cheap a house can be here. TBH, I don't know where most of these towns are either, but you can look any of them up you are curious about
What about land? And could you please find 20,000? homes
Yes there is still plenty of vacant land for sale in Florida too. Houses for 20,000 or less though pretty much doesn’t exist
There are cheap houses everywhere, but it all depends on the quality of life you want. If you are planning on settling for a shitty job and have no ambition to pursue a real career, some of these cities may be what you are looking for. But if you are willing to spend half your day driving to and from work then a lot of these may be for you. But there are tons of people moving to FL. So that says something about how f***ed up the rest of the country is. The people make Florida what it is. There is a lot of scum that moves there and they bring their baggage with them.
Yep quality of life and the standards you set for yourself are definitely a big part of it. I personally wouldn't live in any of these houses but that doesn't mean others might and actually enjoy it and have a low payment. All depends 🤷♂️ The point of the video was to show that there are actually options in this price range. So many people complain that FL is unaffordable
@@MichaelBordenaro People are moving here constantly. That says a lot about other places.
@@miguelquazar883 Yes it does...
I'm interested in Orlando or near that area, Tampa or near that area
Some of the houses are cheaper than my car lol
So true man! At least people can't say there no affordable houses in Florida😉
@@MichaelBordenaro haha yea! miss the beaches in miami
@@seank2793 They are here waiting for you when you're ready to come back👍
Seems North Florida and the Panhandle are the cheapest parts of the state.......
That is correct
Rural area
looks like dilapidated houses...ugghhhh will be crumbled to the ground by the next hurricane
I don't think they are that bad, they must have lasted through previous hurricanes since none of them are brand new. Of course not the nicest houses, but I saw much worse on my search for these
I NEED A HOUSE NEAR SHOPPING AREAS
The Jacksonville house is not in a good area
Not too surprised to hear that, I didn't think it was. Some of them didn't look too bad, but that one did
There isn’t a “area” in Jacksonville fl
st. augestine. also
These houses are a Nice Upgrade..........for homeless people,,,,,,,,jeez man, a mid class family or individual wouldn't choose to live here, make something between the range of $200k-$500, people want to live nice now a days))))
This videos about the cheapest, not the nicest👍
What would anyone even do in these places?
..................never heard of this city.....says the realtor from MB from his 17th floor condo.....
..........BTW you found 10 cheap Homes not 10 cheap Cities.......location // location //
Crime scene sales !!??
Could be! That is up to the buyers to determine 🤷♂️
@@MichaelBordenaro Why not ask for a suggestion list of areas and price ranges, and do those? Still loving your channel !!
