I'm truly sorry to hear that. May the former mayor Rest in Peace

If anything I hope he rest in hell, tbh he was the WORST Mayor FT Wayne ever had in my time as a citizen of this area!~

@@marvinhunt8276 It is the second largest city in the state so mathematically…

@@LivingInFortWayne I get it. I know. I'm just speaking a fact. I live in Lafayette and there are a lot of folks in prison from there as well. A lot of them migrated from Gary, IN and Chicago though.

@@marvinhunt8276 very true

People moving to Indiana from more expensive markets

@@iAm.k3y which barbershop do you work at? There is a Fort Wayne Beauty & Barber expo hosted by Laced on Saint Joe. The event will be held at Electric Works September 22

@@LivingInFortWayne yeah I’m aware of the barber beauty expo. I know some of the guys over there I’m in a suite now working solo I was working in iMack at the mall before tho

@@iAm.k3y Nice! Well hopefully I’ll see you at the expo. I’ll have a booth there with information for “independent contractors” how to Show proof of income as a 1099, credit score, buying process. “Home buying for Barbers” type of thing

@@LivingInFortWayne definitely will be there would be crazy if I missed a barber expo that’s at home

@@iAm.k3y 😆that would be crazy

@@thundercat8219 You sound very determined so I know you’ll make it happen, when the opportunity presents itself

OPPOSITE. I'm from the Fort. I now live in CA and came back to visit. It's gotten SO MUCH WORSE. And now FW fans can't claim "affordability" because prices have gone up. This place is ugly, unsafe, traffic is worse, people are angry, and there is nothing to do. If you have kids and enjoy church, PTA, bake sales, and Friday night football you might like it. Outside of that why on EARTH would you leave CA?

@@LivingInFortWayne Okay come downtown and walk around after 10 pm. Don't miss Headwaters park or the Promenade. Or ANY PLACE south of Rudisill. Or off Wells Street. Wait a minute, you said that you all live in LEO.... that's a far cry from living down here.

@@DaveyBoggs Referencing your earlier point in which you said there is nothing to do in FW. What is open after 10pm in the Wells corridor, south of Rudisill, or a Headwaters? The places people go events like Tincap games, events at the Landing, etc are all done before or around 10pm. Why would I roam the streets after everything is closed? That’s a serious question…I honestly cant think of any place. Maybe JKs and I’m pretty sure that closes at 11pm and JKs is 💯 percent safe

@@Rickis_Radio depends on the paycheck

@@LivingInFortWayne @LivingInFortWayne average pay is $18 a hour say that person works 40 hours a week thats 2880 before taxes after taxes if your lucky is 2200 rent is a $1000 a month on average for a one bed.... Where's your utilities, food, Transportation costs heaven forbid you have a children.. child care is at least 700 through the ymca through fwcs.

@@Rickis_Radio Maybe it’s similar to a “big town”. Would that be more accurate? ☺️

@@dstoi I can give you my personal opinion but I can’t do it in the comments…There’s rules about “steering” and I don’t want to lose my real estate license. Send me a text and I can be more candid.

Not really. You're on the edge of a pretty bad area. I was going to buy out there and talked to some people I knew that lived there.. you have to be a bit on guard

@@SoberDwarfKing The bank has Guidelines that they have to adhere to which require them to underwrite mortgage loans. Underwriting guidelines are more stringent since the housing market crash in 2008. This is their way of protecting against the risk of foreclosure.

@@triciahargrett7785 I’m glad you found value in it. Especially for planning our next content.

@@kerolusehab24 I’m Glad you found value in it.

I’m a person of color and I moved to the suburbs of FW two years ago from Detroit. I haven’t felt like I didn’t belong. Everyone has been nice and I’ve never gotten the feeling that they look at me differently

@@emperorgrits5441 . Thank you, I currently live in an affluent part of the Chicago area where there isn't a tremendous amount of diversity, but people here are very kind and welcoming. I do not know a lot about the FW area, so I think it's important that we know what we're getting ourselves in to before we decide to relocate.

@@terence4427 We get this question a lot, Knowe and Franki moved here one of their biggest concerns was how things would be for their daughter who moved from New Orleans. Which is a very different kind of city. The transition was surprisingly smooth. We’d love to share our experience with you. Feel free to email mail, text, or call. Or schedule a zoom meeting above and we can discuss further. Have a great weekend and thanks for watching!

@@LivingInFortWayne . Thank you, I will do that. By the way, I have noted it appears lots of new homes in the FW area are being built without basements. Is this a trend? I'd rather not have a basement, but in the Midwest it seems essential.

@@terence4427 Builders have cut down on building new homes with basement because it drives up construction costs. There are still some, when they are available, they go very quickly. For example Marcella is a subdivision on the north side of town, their homes with basements are $380k+ The other option is to get with a …what I call tier 2 builder. And work with that builder to build what you want.

@@dowid1 Thank you for watching. We love Fort Wayne too!

@@theresahaneline4992 That’s terrible! Which college?

Too many people do videos like this. Not just realtors trying to sell the place. Search words "Fort Wayne" or any city.

Car stolen, new car broken into, police raids on my neighbors. Don't move here

Thanks for your feedback. While there is crime in every town and city we are still below the national average.

What? You must not have seen our channel. We only talk about Fort Wayne in regards to real estate. No tornadoes here recently that I’m aware of.

@@mikescheele7455 I appreciate your comments. You’re speaking from the heart ❤️

I really appreciate the observation. I didn't notice "the clip" that showed an elephant when Caleb spoke about the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo. We'll definitely be more vigilant about how we edit our videos. Great catch! thanks for watching

We should get some!!

@@scottsaylordoesmortgages Thank you for your support. You’re a Veteran too who specializes in VA home loans. We always recommend The Saylor team for our clients mortgage needs

@@ManOfTheCastle9 I appreciate the honest feedback. What I’m hearing is you did not find this video valuable and we certainly want to improve. As far as photos, I actually have great video (B-roll) of many parts of Fort Wayne. We’ll be sure to include more of those in upcoming videos. Thanks for watching

As a realtor, I can attest that I have heard these from people. Now while I personally believe Fort Wayne is still one of the best options in the country.

@@barnandhome It’s funny you mentioned that. One of our clients, who moved here from Georgia, mentioned that the expenses that builders incurs from the development of land (all the things) are eventually paid by the end buyer. Like more so than normal. It’s hard to explain through text but essentially the cost of the land isn’t really that much it’s the development of it. Apparently it’s not exactly as the same in other states. So that part must be true

@@mach179 So you left when you were 11?

@@LivingInFortWayne Yes, I was 11. The only thing I ever did was go to Big Long Lake a couple of times fishing. I moved to Southern California and then visited Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Sea World, beaches, mountains, etc. as a young lad. Later in life I went to all the world class museum. I have a male cousin in Ft Wayne my same age. His claim to fame is he drinks beer and drives a truck. I ended up as an aerospace engineer. I'm glad I escaped.

@@mach179 That’s awesome, truly. Fort Wayne has changed a lot. Great investment opportunities for multi family homes (duplexes and 4plexes for next to nothing) real estate investing

You should come back! It’s amazing now!!

@@scottsaylordoesmortgages Thank you for your support!

@@scottsaylordoesmortgages Thanks! But don’t be modest, you’ve helped so many of our clients with home loans and they are so grateful. Idk where we would be without you!

Fort Meyers Florida

@@mikecherubini7690 it used to be less and people complain about it. It’s kinda funny when you see actual traffic compared to everywhere else lol

I moved back to Indiana from Brandon, FL in '93. I was watching a video of a plane tire blow out @ Tampa International & couldn't stop watching all the vehicle traffic instead! 😮

@@bethweber9398 insane amount of traffic. Standstill for hours I bet

I agree compared to other places. But when you have lived here your whole life it does feel like it’s getting worse.

@@bencotton544 Absolutely, the parking lot is always packed, no matter what time you go

@@frankjones5283 What I’m hearing is that I wouldn’t be good at selling used cars lol

Showing images of places in 46802 as well...

You’re right. Thank you for clarifying

@@glenharnish Glad to here it was helpful

@@tiagoshade ☺️ I’m not surprised. People often comment about their past experiences in the comments and privately

@@davidhart7721 thanks for the input. Definitely need to add that

@@eislerodriguez82 Yes, There are many jobs for Latinos, as well as others, here in Fort Wayne

That’s not true at all
