Thanks! I am 53, my husband is 59, we are in Ohio and looking to snowbird first then buy in the future so your info is invaluable! Really love the emails too.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for your support!
My wife and I discovered your channel last October when we decided to retire, sell our home in Reno Nevada and move to Florida. We weren't certain we wanted a Manufactured home, or that we wanted to live in a retirement community. Long story short, we sold our home last May, arrived to Ocala Florida in June, and bought a wonderful 1250sqft manufactured home in Rolling Greens Village, a beautiful 55+ golf community. It's the best decision we've made in a long time. Home was affordable, so lots of proceeds left over from our former home sale. We pay only $800/month that includes water, sewer, garbage, landscape maintenance, RV storage and all the top notch amenities. Seriously, it's like we live in a resort with free golf. Thanks Russ for your channel, introduced us to an alternative housing and lifestyle we never knew was available. BTW, we have appealing double wide Florida homes available for sale here right now for $30k-$70k.
Thanks for such wonderful news. May I have you permission to use this post as a testimonial? I'm sure it will be of great encouragement to others who are just getting started in their search.
@@RussellWatsonFMHL Absolutely.. please do.
Thanks so much!
I started crying after I watched your videos because it was an answer to prayer. I have $250,000 and a monthly income of $1150. I had no idea there was affordable option to meet my needs. I am 62 and I live in Texas.
Thank you😂
There are many good solutions with that kind of capital. I suggest you check out resident owned communities. When you are ready to seriously consider the move I recommend you invest a few $$ and take my course so you really understand the options. There's a free workshop that you can take that explains land-lease further and offers the course. Check it out here: fmhla.mykajabi.com/ For more videos that cover land-lease and resident owned communities go to my TH-cam channel: Florida Manufactured Home Living - You Tube

I think that it's a shame that property in Florida has proliferated price wise to the point where retired middle class guys like me cannot even consider purchasing.
It's even worse in other parts of the country. I have the same thought with boats and marinas. Used to be you could get a boat slip for a few hundred a year. Now it's more than that a month!
@@RussellWatsonFMHL I had been looking at Cypress Lakes for a number of years, but now it's a ridiculously priced retirement community.
The market is going to crash very soon...at that time prices will drop. Actually they are starting to now
@@albertahouck4652 Indications are definitely there, Alberta.
Home Owner insurances are pulling out of Florida. It's unbelievable. Something has to be done.
Very nice Houses!! Great!
I just discovered your channel, and have been binge watching! Your videos are very well produced. They are full of interesting information, and are just the right length to hold Interest. Than you!
Awesome, thank you!
Thx again Russ,,what a great video,,really enjoyed it,,perfect location and pricing for me,,thumbs up 👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Russ!
I'm looking at snowbird now. I'm retired military at 59 years old now and retiring in 3 years for me.
Plenty of opportunities there. Be sure to check out some of the other videos on the channel th-cam.com/users/FloridaManufacturedHomeLiving as well as all the resources on our website: www.floridamfghome.com/

The park does look nice, but seems expensive to me. Maybe I'm out of touch with the going rates.
IMHO it's a very good price for a park with those amenities, maintained as well as it is, and 15 minutes from the beach. Average apartment rent for a similar sized unit in this area is $1,560/mo.
Molly said: your wife can eat while you're cooking. LOL!!
Well, I do all the cooking - so why not!
@@RussellWatsonFMHL You are a good man Russ.
Thanks!
Thanks so much for your generous support Linda! Appreciate it so much 😍
This is cute home! Pretty close to ocean
HI Russ. A class act production!
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Russ, the wife and I enjoy your videos very much. They are very informative as we are looking forward to a move to Florida Central Florida in April of 23. Can you direct me to one of your videos that cover some of the manufactured home communities? We have one dog thank you. Best. Frank
There are quite a few. I suggest the home page of my TH-cam channel to start: th-cam.com/users/FloridaManufacturedHomeLiving
You can also look at the VIDEOS tab there to scroll through them all.
Great info thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Love this channel. Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Great video Russ!
Thanks Scott!
Nice! Information is much appreciated but I’m looking for parks in SW FL
Have you seen my videos on North Fort Myers or Punta Gorda? th-cam.com/users/FloridaManufacturedHomeLiving
Russ, have you ever discussed a scenario where a developer purchases a land-lease park and then wants to remove the tenants and all the units? What happens? Are there any Florida laws that protect the tenants or guide this process?
That's about a chapter's worth of answers. Yes, FS 723 has things to say about that. Yes, it's a part of what you should evaluate in your choice of park. And No, it does not happen very often.
Do your research before coming.
@@CatchingEverything Absolutely!!! That's why I wrote my book, started this channel, built an informational website and am starting a deeper educational opportunity this fall.

Awesome videos! Thanks 😊
You're so welcome!
I am ready to live there
Contact the agent. Info is in the video description.
Hi Russ. Is there a resource to find a list of all the 55 plus manufactured home communities on the west coast that would include info such as pets and lot rents? Thank you.
Not that I have ever seen. There is a commercial list that might have that but its hundreds of dollars per county so I have never obtained them.
Thank you SO MUCH for creating this channel. I just turned 55 and looking to buy in Pinellas, Pasco or Hillsborough counties. Question: I have asthma. I would love to buy a condo, but fear that I will live next to smokers. Any advice? Thank you kindly!
Sorry,
I do not sell homes or offer personal consultation; preferring to reserve the time I have available for producing educational materials. With over 23,000 subscribers, I would be quickly overwhelmed if I tried. If you have a specific question related to a video, just put it in the comments so all can benefit from the answer. If you are looking for general guidance on choosing a community, may I suggest my book: Retirement in Florida - Manufactured Homes ; The Land-Lease Option.

@@RussellWatsonFMHL Hi Russel! Thank you so much for your reply! Let me rephrase - are there non-smoking or smoke-free communities in Florida's many retirement communities?
@@RussellWatsonFMHL I just signed up for your inner circle - thank yo SO MUCH for all you do !!!
I have never heard of a smoke free community. That said, most have smoke free clubhouses and pool areas. You need to be very specific when inquiring though. In my community the "smoking area" is at the entrance to both clubhouses and the pool so it would not work for you or anyone sensitive to second hand smoke. There is definitely a range of enforcement and interest between communities.
Usually if the home is cheaper the lot rent is excrucially annually higher and I didn't hear your lot rent price
I don't understand how you could miss the lot rent as I both say it and put it on the screen in a graphic. I would call this park mid-priced but give it extra points for a pool, clubhouse, and cleanliness. There certainly are cheap homes in high priced parks. Conversely, homes in ROCs, where monthly fees are much less, are usually much more expensive. That's the nature of a free market. The choice is yours and we have videos out there on both ends of this spectrum. This one is in the middle.
Hi Russell, I watched your video on Coops. At the end of the video, you showed a way to submit the names of counties we are interested in learning more about available coops - I just went to the website and do not see that feature - maybe it's no longer available? thanks
You can request a statewide CoOp list by joining our Inner Circle. It's Free! www.floridamfghome.com/Buyer-Resources There may be other ROCs, such as subdivisions, but lists are not readily available.

amzn.to/3c3UMPJ Much of what we present applies to ROCs as well.
Great channel.
Thank you!
Hi Russ, Another terrific video...I'm just curious ,what is the selling price of each home ?...Thank you...
Ahhhhh - take a look at the cover picture for the video. The first one is $49,900 and the second was $18,500
@@RussellWatsonFMHL You see, Russ..some guys (me) have to led-by-the-hand..lol...Thanks again..
NP - be sure to join the Inner Circle if you haven't already. We have an opportunity coming up that will provide more help for those considering these options..
What is the HUD 80/20 rule? My wife and I are downsizing when our daughter goes to college in 7 years. We won't be able to retire by then, but I will have less than 10 years until I would be able to. My wife would be right at 10. Are there other parks in Florida that allow people less than 55 to purchase a home? Splitting what we get for our current home between one here, and one in Florida sounds like a very nice option. Thank you for posting this.
There are but they usually don't advertise it. In fact, parks owned by the same owner may have different policies. You can find an explanation of 55+ in this video:th-cam.com/video/h-dS6CxVjN4/w-d-xo.html
i heard mobile prices are starting to decrease and will more in future i hope so
I haven't seen any data to that effect but it would be nice. (if you are the buyer 🙂)
The problem with these homes are they're all on rented lots with very high lot rent..any rents within 400-500 range have no amenities.
Actually $600 is pretty cheap for Florida. It sounds like a Resident Owned Community or a home on private land might suit your needs. Check these out: th-cam.com/video/10eCCZjxyJ0/w-d-xo.html
Hi Russ, did I miss the price of the units ? Thank You
I put it on the thumbnail thinking I did not need to repeat it in the video but several have missed it so I was wrong. The first home is $49,900 and the second is $18,500. I have updated the thumbnail to make it easier to see and added it to the description. Thanks for asking.
@@RussellWatsonFMHL to
i WOULD LOVE TO LIVE THERE BUT 600 LOT RENT TO much for our budget
NP christine lavita , this is just one example of the many kinds of deals out there. Be sure to check out some of the other videos on the channel th-cam.com/users/FloridaManufacturedHomeLiving as well as all the resources on our website: www.floridamfghome.com/
It's all free! I'm sure you can find a home and a deal that meets your needs.
any examples of tenants banding together and buying the park ?
Not in the last decade or more that I know of. In fact, one of the current trend we'll be discussing in this fall's opportunity for Inner Circle members is the growing trend of residents (at least a majority of shareholders) selling the community they own and becoming renters. I will also be talking about the challenges faced in trying to buy your community and an opportunity to do so that may be a game changer.
Thanks for the great video, I wish you told us the price ofboth homes
It's right on the picture when you select the video. I have also added it in the description. $49.900 for the first one and $18,500 for the second.
Can’t these places just raise the monthly fees whenever they want though?
No, In land-lease communities the lot rent can only be raised once a year. In most parks that is based on a calendar year but some have leases that renew at other times of the year.
Classic homes/old trailers,tomato/tomottos,lol.
Classic car or old junker? Beauty (and the possibilities) is in the eyes of the beholder.
look how much your charging for lot rent people cannot afford it
First Maureen, it's not my park and I am not charging anything. Second, there are many things "people" cannot afford. If I go to a car dealer and discover he has no cars I can afford I don't fault the car dealer. I just go to an option I can afford.
Is there homes that one could rent for 3 to 4 months before buying?
Some parks offer straight rentals. Most rent to buy I have seen are 1 year leases.
Are there any parks that allow a fenced yard (for small dogs)?
A few on the land=lease side, a few more amoung co-ops and ROCs, and quite a few subdivisions.
Do you have any homes for sale on gulf side with lot rent around 400.00 per month for year round living thanks
William, I don't sell homes. There are several agents on the gulf coast listed on our website. Give them a call. www.floridamfghome.com/Buyer-Resources
how much lot rent . thanks
It is shown in the video. I don't remember of the top of my head.
Looking for a mobile home fully furnished
Give Molly a call. Her contact info is in the description.
Wow that’s kitchen needs redone… the living room flooring needs to go in the kitchen separating it there is no flow.. now it’s horrible
Not sure which home you are talking about Teena but it sounds like you know your wants and deeds. I'm sure there are many homes out there you would like or maybe you are up for the challenge of buying one cheap and remodeling. Either way I hope you enjoyed the video.
Prices?
Prices are on the video thumbnail and in the video description.
Cost is everything,. Need the price of homes and lots. Otherwise pass by.
NP - the home prices are on the thumbnail for the video and in the description - $49,900 for the first one and $18,500 for the second. Lot rent is shown in the video.
Is this home still available?
I have no idea. The selling agent is listed in the video description. You can contact her for availability.
$607.00 is not cheap. Then lot rent rises. Not good
Actually that is on the very lower end of lot rents in our resort parks. Like everything, lot rents do go up. But mine has no where near increased as much as my grocery bill. Fortunately, I can afford both.
Thanks!
Thank You!
Thanks Russ!
You're welcome!
