Always enjoy your videos. Such great information and extremely well done. For me I wouldn't mind being closer to where the good night life is. As a single guy with no kids. Definitely need an outlet to meet and network with new people. Thanks again for the great work Craig.
Hey Matthew, thank you for your support! I'm glad you are finding the information useful. I can give you further insight to night life whenever you like. Just reach out....
Typical tourist attitude. Comes to florida every year but "hates" it here. Maybe you should stink it up in whatever crappy state you live on next year instead of coming here.
Joseph, thank you for your kind words and support. It definitely makes the effort that goes into this worth it for me! If I can help in any way, please let me know!
Highly informative and enjoyable video. Great bunch of links and information for those of us working on the move to Ft Myers. Thanks, and keep up the excellent work.
My wife and I are retired and thinking 5-7 months living in Cape Coral would be great we have some hurdles to get over but maybe it will happen....I will keep watching your videos thanks for the info ....
My opinion, Cape Coral has some great places , to eat and fish. But the drinking water will cost you more than electric. Depending on your budget, Suncoast estates is the biggest mobile home in the world, we think. 1600 lots, 1.25 acre and 2.50 acres in North Ft. Myers. Only 5 minutes from downtown Ft. Myers.
I love watching your videos. They’re very helpful! My family and I are moving blindly from Bloomington Indiana to Fort Myers Florida next week and we’re excited...nervous but excited 👍
Yes, there are a number of condo buildings right in the river. Single family there as well, but pricing can be a bit higher. Let me know if I can help. Thank you for commenting.
@@vuleadventsiteMy apologies. I did not see it. Please email me at Craig@OurNextFloridaHome.com - I need some more specifics regarding the house to give an accurate amount. Median price was 490k in Fort Myers a couple weeks ago. Contact me for a detailed list of homes that match your parameters. Thank you.
what's your honest thoughts on neighborhood in Maravilla ? for owner occupied rental properties? Is that pretty bad ? I don't need lot of activities or other fancy things but care about safe, clean crime free convenient neighborhoods? My eventual plan is to move somewhere else after establishing this property a secondary property
I think it depends on which side of 41 you’re looking at. I live not too far from maravilla on Winkler west of 41 east of mcgregor. GREAT 👍 neighborhood! Well established area meaning that almost all homes are circa 50’s 60’a and 1970’s. Mature landscapes and sidewalks lining both sides of the streets. Your not going to find many new home builds however if mid century modern is your thing you will be heaven. For amenities you are super close to the Fort Myers country club and golf course ( public) Jefferson park and there’s even a community pool with tennis courts right next door. Prices are reasonable and crime is not really a big concern. So it’s fairly safe. Location is excellent for shopping restaurants and the downtown river district being just minutes away as well as beaches only around a 20/25 minute drive away. We recently relocated from Naples park and we couldn’t be happier with our decision.
We might be coming there from Arkansas for my husband to work a nursing contract. We have 3 kids and would have to rent in a good neighborhood and be close to beaches, it would be only for a minimum of 3 months, max 6 months.
Hi Craig. So what areas not to live in Fort Myers? We are hoping to move there soon and want to avoid "low income, ghetto areas". Sorry for being blunt. Thanks in advance.
Are you afraid of a car accident? More of a chance of that happening, but you still drive everyday, right? Live your life and there is no better place than Florida!
Sadly, Fort Myers has recently become an example of the ravages of anthropogenic climate change. Hurricanes like Ian are becoming more frequent. Add to that the rising sea levels, and Florida coasts will become increasingly hazardous. Best of luck to everyone who have suffered so much in the Fort Myers area.
Well, he's not a mobile home broker (not that there's anything wrong with that) and homes in CC and FM have appreciated dramatically in the last couple of years, sooo....what do you want from the guy?

3 months out of the Year my friend that's more than enough for me in Florida

Thanks Craig for a great, informative video. I really appreciate the links you provided. You're one of the most helpful Florida resources on youtube !
Joseph, thank you for your kind words and support. It definitely makes the effort that goes into this worth it for me! If I can help in any way, please let me know!
Love your videos! Gives me a lot to think about when trying to decide where in Florida I'd like to go.

Moving in year or less from up North. How has it been?
Thanks for all the great info!
Great videos ! Thank you !
Very informative video.
If you are a working person without any money I would not come here. When the music stops Florida gets hammered. Last in first out
Can't wait to get home to Florida
I love your videos! And you cater to all and are very informative! Don’t listen to the one troll!
Tania, thank you for that! I used to be bothered by it, now I laugh. I truly appreciate your support! You are a blessing!
Awesome Craig awesome son of yours too

You're gonna drag your kids to another area for 6 months max?
@@GUITARTIME2024 he was saying the time he intends to rent.
Let me know how I can help. Best to call 239-292-0440
Try to get insurance on a manufacturered home!
Didn’t know this was an issue. Is it difficult?
Some of these effects are like a funhouse mirror
Fishing places?
Hi Craig. So what areas not to live in Fort Myers? We are hoping to move there soon and want to avoid "low income, ghetto areas". Sorry for being blunt. Thanks in advance.
Staying south of college parkway should help. There are numerous places to consider. Contact me to discuss further. 239-292-0440
Do you have any idea what the prices for renting an apartment in Fort Myers will be in the next 18 years will be?
Increasing for sure.... already 1500+ almost everywhere.... soon 2000+ per month. Many other areas already seeing it.
What about Rents for Seniors
Also very expensive and harder to find as the 55+ availability is much lower.
I’m so afraid of flooding?!?! Do all houses get floods in Florida?
Are you afraid of a car accident? More of a chance of that happening, but you still drive everyday, right? Live your life and there is no better place than Florida!
@@livinginfortmyersflorida I know. I just fear floods!!! Is there any place in fort Myers that isn’t in a flood zone?
Absolutely not. I have been here over 25 years and still have not seen a flooded house.
@@livinginfortmyersflorida That reply didn't age well.
What’s the best area if you can’t live on Sanibel?
Most areas of Naples, Estero and Bonita Springs are nice areas. There are also a lot of nice unincorporated master planned communities like Gateway.
Numerous areas... Contact me for details...239-292-0440
I am looking for a rural area.
North fort Myers and punta Gorda are the most rural

Not true since Ian hit!

I see you cater like everyone else to the rich

You’re the fun vacuum
I cater to whomever requests assistance.
