Many Florida condo owners are getting hit with major special assessments and some of them are so high that they are in the six figure territory. Of course, a lot of people can't afford this so they are being forced to sell their units at massive losses. Here are some real life examples of this..

I'm hoping there will be a housing crisis so I can .buy cheaply when I sell a few houses in 2025. As a backup plan, I've been thinking about purchasing stocks. What advice do you have for choosing the best buying time? On the one hand, I continue to read and see trading earnings of over $500k each week. On the other side, I keep hearing that the market is out of control and experiencing a dead cat bounce. Why does this happen?
Investing in real estate and stocks might be a wise choice, particularly if you have a sound trading plan that can get you through profitable days.
You're not doing anything wrong; you simply lack the expertise necessary to make money in a bad market. In these difficult circumstances, only really skilled experts who were forced to witness the 2008 financial crisis could expect to generate a large wage.
Recently, I've been considering the possibility of speaking with consultants. I need guidance because I'm an adult, but I'm not sure if their services would be all that helpful.
Finding financial advisors like Melissa Terri Swayne who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
'I continue to read and see trading earnings of over $500k each week.' That is not going to be you.
Remember, " By 2030 you will own nothing and be happy" these evil people are serious as a heart attack and everyone thinks this is a joke. There are many ways to bring a society to its knees. Wake up this isn't a joke.
Amen to that…true!
You scared?
And in the end we're all dead. Including those trying to corner all the property, etc.. So what's yer point? 😉
I kept seeing this quote and just googled it. That's wild!! 🤯 So the elites have the next century already mapped out and we will basically have nothing, not even rights.

I used to think that once you bought a condo all you had to worry about was the inside cost. That is truly not the case anymore.
You must not have done your due diligence and read the rules and bylaws.
No different than a house when you neglect maintenance and do lousy upkeep.
@blackworldtravelexcepBut these condo owners were paying pricey condo fees all along, not expecting to be slammed later in life with these outrageous assessment fees....they know it's updoable. Maybe they should just stay & become squatters? 3711
@@clairelivefreeordie2551Those “pricey fees” were insufficient to cover the maintenance so they weren’t so pricey after all.
The board and the owners tried to kick the can down the road and pocket the difference and it caught up with them. Any dwelling needs upkeep and maintenance, condominium buildings are no exception.
I was never the case. Its just gotten worse especially in Florida where you can't get hurricane insurance.
I thought the same and so did a lot of these condo buyers. It’s a shame how things change.
We're playing in a rigged game. I'm so fed up with it all.
The game is turning into one of those horror games you see on CZcams. You enter, but there is no escape...

Glad my wife and I worked it out and decided not to have kids. Imagine this world in 30 years time.
My rule for the last 40 years was NEVER BUY A CONDO NO MATTER THE PRICE!
Century village in florida is still a good place to buy.
I hate the idea of going back to sharing walls and ceilings with other people. Maybe as a second home to sublet, but probably not even that.
I doubled my money with a condo. It was more a townhouse style building but still a condo.
Bought it for 139k and sold for like 265k maybe 5 years later.
HOA was reasonable and did their due diligence with the funds and future planning, the prices made sense at 139k.

@@Evilslayer73actually their beloved Desantis made homeless camping illegal to. I guess the Florida prison system will have to fix the fallout from this problem.
Pull themselves up by the bootstraps. Get a second job. Uber, DoorDash, etc.
They should have been paying those assessments for years now. No one should live in that part of Florida. We the taxpayers are paying for their waterfront properties. I don't feel sorry for them at all.
@@fandam801 just be happy a Democrats not in there otherwise everything would be a Tent City.
Even if the condos were free, the monthly HOA fee of $2,500 per month is still expensive.
That's bullshit. People are going to flee Florida.
Those very expensive condos people can pay that without worry.
Never will move into an HOA. Worse than COVID.
i was curious to check why only 180k for a miami condo. And Bammmmmm 2.5k HOA. That's crazy
That probably doesn't include property taxes and insurance either... But at least there's no state income in Florida. 😅
Another Condo owner in Miami got an assesment of 224,000 and their HOA went from 1,500 to 3,000 a month. Needless to say they want out but no buyers. Worst investment right now in Florida. Thank you Michael and Happy Thursday!
Desantis needs to put a stop to these hoas in florida they are going insane
Tell him to go find some homeless people and rent it out to them even if not collecting the monthly payment
$3K a month??!

I get calls every week pushing refinancing on my house. My theory is that if something is good for me, I'll call someone. If something is good for a bank, they'll call me. The caller usually sit in stunned silence when I answer that I don't need a vacation and don't need financing to complete a home project.
Brilliant!
In fairness to the salesperson, though: Sometimes products or services exist that I am unaware of. It is possible that a win-win situation exists.
Generally I agree; that said, it doesn't hurt to get a HELOC to make your equity accessible/available. The bankers are happy to offer an umbrella on a sunny day, but good luck getting them to approve you for credit if/when you really need to pull the money out without waiting for a sale of the house. This bit tends to escape people's minds. My folks had that mindset and I ended up spotting them during the pandemic because they were convinced they didn't need any credit available.
💯
@@freezerlunik You still have to pay some fees for a HELOC. Why have it sitting around like a open credit card? Your house should not be used as a credit card. The moment your house falls below a certain equity line, they will instantly close that HELOC account.
@@threeftr3349 i just set it up right at the time of doing a mortgage and it costs nothing extra, only interest on what you borrow. The value is flexibility and your interest rate is radically (like 3-5x) lower than on a credit card.
The identical condo situation is happening in NY as well. Association fees have doubled or tripled, special assessments for aging buildings, rapidly dwindling demand.
I saw a really great deal on a condo in Florida about a year ago- thank god I did nt bite. There was a huge assessment in the works for massive water front concrete bullhead repairs foundation work and on and on.
lol. CNN and others are reporting bidding wars and price increases are back! Rates lowering are bringing millions back in
I have been watching a condo in my area I am interested in for quite awhile. Been asking questions, doing research and everything before I do anything. I'm not just buying from my feelings or a good deal.
It crazy in NYC. Who are all these multimillionaire buying a small one bedroom for $1.4 million with $2000 monthly expenses?
@@donniemoder1466 They’re not millionaires purchasing them. Millionaires are too smart to buy them and have the association fees that go along with them.

Real estate market crash is unstoppable
I believe many neighborhoods and towns will become completely abandoned as people migrate to seek income opportunities and no buyers are available. For land to regain real value, we will need economic freedom to be productive on that land.

The developers have not found your old neighborhood.
The only developers that would buy up that land, would be wind farm/wind energy. They're all over Central Illinois.
It’s Illinois. Residents are fleeing before Chicago evacuates.
Everybody should have a goal to live on a property with no HOA. It's liberating.
Pretty hard to do with a condo.
I'll sleep in an RV before I live in an HOA
I like the amenities with my condos and can afford it.
Spending the summer in Lugano Switzerland viewing the alps,snow,lake,palm trees,from my windows/balcony and cooler temperatures away from Oklahoma and Florida heat without worry is liberating as well.
@@blackworldtraveler3711 - If you can afford it, that's great. I think HOA's will continue to turn the knob up on you, so you will need to keep affording --> more. I see HOA's as a key player in our "you will own nothing" future.

The problem with a lot of condos was that you had board members that were all older retired people who wanted the HOA fee to never increase due to their often fixed incomes. That meant over and over major repairs like central air boilers roofs structural problems were deferred over and over until the condos became in extreme disrepair and increasing dangerous safety problems. Then you had collapses and the government had to step in to require that condos maintain significant reserve funds for ongoing repairs. It’s gonna be painful in the short term but building budget transparency will hopefully improve. My condo is run very well with a fully funded reserve they had problems in the past but good management came in and established an appropriate budget and disabused any owners of a flat HOA that will never increase. We have quarterly open meetings on all repairs and ongoing issues. We debate ways to keep our costs down without downgrading our luxury condo.
HOA fees sky rocketing, how people afford to pay that ? There will be a storm of foreclosures.
Heard a $100k assesment story this morning on a condo here in the Daytona Beach area. One owner who is a retired teacher says she will have to go back to work to get herself out of this. The new law requires these condos to have large maintenance reserve that has to be funded.
Who’s gonna pay old lady $100k

Yes it should. What's with the condo association for doing this now? There should be a cap of say $50k for any structural issues & even that should be payable over x amount of years. To spring this on condo owners at one time in this economic climate is just plain undoable & will wipe out how many thousands of condo owners financially.

Agreed, I'm considering moving back to my old rural Michigan village.
I moved out of the western suburbs of Chicago to a small town in southwest Wisconsin and it is the best decision Ive ever made, for me. Its not for everyone, but I enjoy knowing the folks here and we watch out for each other. The peace and tranquility and small town values are amazing.
There are tons of neighborhoods like Michael was raised in, just outside the metros, over the county line of suburbia. But, you will most likely not have public (formerly) water & sewer. So, to find one without septics and wells is not easy. Septics and wells are expensive personal property utilities to maintain as they age. I’m lucky to be in a good one. If you get 3 acre lots, expect to spend a lot of time riding on your lawnmower, and weed whacking, like it’s a hobby.
I bought the family home. Lived from a child to 21 years old and came back at 34 years old, back in 2002. So 43 of my 56 years, here.
You were lucky to be 34 in 2002. I really regret going to middle school back then instead of buying houses.
Rather own the land with a house that is not dependent on my neighbors to chip in for the upkeep 😂
Taking equity from your house is such a bad idea. Im paying mine off and never paying on it again
Never ever buy a condo. Not only it's apartment living, but there's also the evil HOA, monthly HOA fee, special assessments, appreciation problem.
In Miami if you want to live on the ocean the alternative is 30 million dollars houses. And living away from the ocean is torture. Hot humid mosquitos around a year.
"Assessment" is a very polite way of saying forced renovations. This whole thing is just so draconian.
Owning a house it’s called going in debt.
But many people say owning a home is not wasting money. 😂.
This is like saying the cost of installing fire exits on concert buildings is draconian. Like the Surfside Collapse killed 98 people instantly... when they were sleeping... in their home!!!!
@@brent4073
I remember that guy sleeping in his house and a sink hole swallowed him and part of bedroom. Don’t think they ever found him. Look it up.
People have been killed in their sleep during California earthquakes and tornadoes in Midwest as well.
@@brent4073 The problem with these "assessments" (forced improvements) is that it sets a precedent of what a particular state can demand of any property owner. For instance, say there is an apartment building collapse in Oklahoma and suddenly every apartment complex owner is given an "assessment" to do major foundation, roof and wall support upgrades. Who do you think he or she will pass on these costs to: the tenants living in these complexes. Or what if a residential home collapses in Iowa, and the state then decides to give "assessments" to every single home owner to make expensive structural upgrades, regardless of whether these homeowners can afford it. The point is that these types of "assessments" are a slippery slope and by their very design are the epitome of draconian. What next, "assesssments" given every home owner to add expensive landscaping or lighting because some politician in a particular state saw an ugly house one day?
Taxes * assesments * insurance * how can anyone survive these prices 😮
WEF plan “You will own nothing and be happy”
My understanding is that you cannot have both property taxes AND assessments. If you own a house you have to pay property taxes. If you own a Condo you have to pay assessments.
they cant thats why only uber wealthy are there and everyone else moving out.
When I was looking for a home in Naples during the last housing crash, that is exactly what I did. If I had access to a housing complex, I would drive in and look for someone walking around, I would then introduce myself and ask if they were a renter or owner and do they like it here. Gather as much information as you can. If I saw a police car in a driveway and a guy was outside mowing the lawn or just sitting and enjoying a brew I would do the same thing, first I would verify that he was a police officer and then ask him about neighborhoods that I should stay away from. It is very important to gather as much information as you can, the more people you talk to, the more informed you will be. When you walk up to a stranger to gather information, always introduce yourself first and extend your hand, act like a friend. If you do it correctly, most people are very nice and helpful.
Did policeman tell you about supervulcano under the city too? )
@@RomanVarl No, he didn't. Of all the things to worry about, an alleged super volcano under Naples is not one of them. I put that in the same category as the climate change bull shit.
Can't DeSantis do anything to stop the corruption, or outlaw HOA's altogether ?
@@Norm475 Well the volcano is real and I highly doubt the US surgeon general is going to try and force "volcano lockdowns" like he is going to do with "climate lockdowns" in the next few years. The odds of the volcano going active are something like 0.00001 or something like that.
I did they same thing and its been a wonderful neighborhood going on 30 years.
Buying a Condo in Florida is like buying a Seat on the Titanic 😂
Well said😊
Almost right. "... is like buying a seat on the titanic AFTER it has hit the iceberg."
Not the newer ones
Not all condo complexes have these problems. I live in a complex that needs no special assessment after having the state structural study. Right on the ocean and a great place to live. That said, I'm hoping people freak out and sell their places, want to pick another one up.
@@wowzers1069Same. No special assessment and right on Ocean Drive
Just moved back to my hometown in Illinois to ride out the "S" storm that's coming. Bought a house straight cash. Property taxes are unfortunate but we'll make due. God i hope we made the right decision!!!!
From N.C. where we really loved it. But everyone moving there and raising costs , but wages not even coming close to matching cost of living.
People leave Illinois not return, unless they have to.
@katethielmann4244 I'm aware, I got out 12 years ago. Midwest is the only affordable area left though. Financially it was our only option where family would be.
Taxes here in Ill are crazy so your saying that there just as bad in NC ?
@Holyheart1 price of living is too high in N.C. where we were. Homes starting at 400k or more and wages extremely low.
Who is going to buy a condo in Florida these days with all the 10-X assessment looming in future per unit.
Every condo isn’t 60 years old.

The place you grew up at will always be a part of you.😢
I think it is a TERRIBLE time to buy anything at all. This next year is going to show us some very important things. Our economy is in a mess and getting messier. We cannot rely on anything, because they keep changing the laws, adding fees, adding assessments, adding taxes, adding whatever. We are being squeezed to death. Real estate, both commercial and residential is so uncertain right now that if I had all the money in the world, I would not invest. I have invested in real estate before, and the old saying, "Buy low, sell high" is still pure gold advice. That is not a formula we can do now. Just wait. Don't be sorry later.
I have worked for several Fortune 500 companies and the reason these companies post phantom job postings is to cover the company from lawsuits. It is standard practice when hiring a specific person for a position to list the job opening for 45 to 90 days or more even though the job was never taking applicants. My bosses would even list jobs as taking applications after someone was in the position. This helps with discrimination lawsuits and claims about favoritism.
Good to know!
Also most hires are internal
I have a buddy that got a $160,000 assessment on his condo and nobody could afford to pay it so they had to take out a loan and everybody's maintenance fee increased by $1,600 a month and they were already paying $1,200. So now they're paying $2,800 a month in maintenance fee but rents in the building are around $3,500 so the property taxes and maintenance fees and upkeep are more than the rent that they're getting. The unit's used to sell for around $600,000 now they're selling for only $150,000. This all happened in just the course of the several years. It blows my mind that people even buy condos. Everyone knows that condos are worthless with the insane cost to maintain them. The only thing that will appreciate is land and you don't have any land in the condo You just have a little box in the sky that's falling apart. It needs tons and tons of maintenance and you'll never actually make money. Hopefully it won't bankrupt you.
You posted a good story but not the name of the property.
Why?
The majority of condos have been maintained properly. Nothing is perfect but these buildings that have done nothing are not the normal.
My childhood bus ride would have been like that, but I decided to walk home instead. I used to get passed three times in an hour by that bus, and it arrived in my subdivision at roughly the same time I arrived on foot. Mom split the saved bus fees with me, so all the better. Nowadays they might put her in jail for not ensuring I was properly supervised at all times.
When I was 12, I rode the NYC subway from my home in Queens to midtown Manhattan. FOR SURE my folks would be in jail.
From the age of 10 to 16 I had to take 2 city buses (15 minute walk and 45 minute ride each way) in a city that shall remain nameless and was 90% not my ethnicity, which shall remain concealed. Would have loved a school bus.
I walked 20 miles to the bus, which I was always 5 minutes late for. So, I had to walk the other 20 miles to school. But, it was worth it. I saved up enough money to buy an unbelievably priced condo, located practically in the ocean, in Florida. Looks like everything is going my way 🤪 … But, seriously, I was the first and last on the bus for school (for a couple of years). It sucked.
It was recently admitted that we are in a double bubble. Pre Corona we were in a huge bubble then post Corona the bubble built-up even worse. A double bubble means twice the disaster. We need to get it over with so the future generations have a chance and we all can rebuild to something sustainable that makes sense.
Love our panhandle condo! Only 2 stories, no elevator and excellent management company. I’d stay away from large complex’s but don’t be afraid of everything!
STOP 🛑
Your house is not an ATM❗
depends what for. Selling a house once your emergency fund runs out is less pleasant than tapping into a previously set up HELOC. Using home to buy toys and experiences/luxuries -- sure, that's bullshit. But people need to know how to work the system, because ooh boy does the system work us regardless of us wanting it or not.
Even if you sell your house for only $40,000 more than you paid for it 20 or 30 years later, he still didn’t lose because if you would’ve been renting, he would’ve paid a lot more and never recoup any of it
It's so quiet and peaceful in youre old neighbourhood Michael!😊
Love your unique style, never change!
Lol. Be real. You like him. Not the value he provides.
I always warn potential condo buyers about the divide between owners that want to keep the development well-maintained and those that want to spend the minimum amount. This is really a problem when the number of units is low and when you have a 50-50 vote. I'm a big fan of condos because I like all of the maintenance that's done for me, having good streets, trash pickup and landscaping, good sewer, etc. We pay for all of that; not the town; so we don't have to get into town politics to get the services that we want. One of the best parts about condo ownership is economies of scale. When we want to replace all of the roofs or siding, we get a great deal on crews that just come in and do building after building after building.
I would never buy a house or condo with an HOA few. That's foolish😮
Beautiful neighborhood and corn fields. . They look like big lots too.
Septic fields require space.
Insurance companies took the whole thing down. Once the first one failed every inspection that company did came into question. Upon inspection of other buildings the answer was clear a lot of condos are on the verge of collapse as well. Sea air causes rebar to swell making the concrete fail too then comes the human pancake. I found an arm .
Michael, visually your old neighborhood looks GORGEOUS!! Huge, really huge lawns and green-scapes everywhere! Frankly, I thought that this is where all the millionaires live. The only really "jarring" aspect to the neighborhood was how it dead-ends into and is surrounded by... vast farmlands.
It’s so flat in your old neighborhood, Mike. A far cry from where I live in PA. It does remind me of when you go into western Palm Beach county on SR80 heading out to Lake Okeechobee and if the sugarcane is cut down, there’s just an endless green flat landscape for about 20 miles before you get to Belle Glade and Pahokee
What it tells me is that I will never buy a condo in Florida.
I think a condo at or under three stories can make sense IF HOA meeting minutes demonstrate that there have been reasonable reserves made for all projected maintenance and replacement. We lived in a condo community in FL that had housing units of four dwellings per site. Upper units had 3 bedrooms, lower units had 2 bedrooms. Some single car garages but most two car garages. Our board was very diligent in getting contractor and engineer estimates every 3-5 years for maintenance and replacement (like roof). Then there was the pool equipment repairs and replacement. We were very confident in our HOA management and the market seems to have been stable despite the issues with Oceanside buildings as we were a few miles inland.
Always nice to go back to where you grow up.
2 hours on a bus versus sitting in traffic in Miami. At least there were no tolls on the bus,
Thank you to our host for this wonderful outdoor walking presentation. Happy homecoming
The biggest problem is the comps are crashing in that complex. So desperate sellers are driving the prices lower every time they sell one. The units are mostly the same.
I just sold a property in Portland and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $450k gains within months, I'm really just confused at this point.
A robust strategy is crucial for any investor's portfolio. When it comes to making high-stakes decisions, the greater the risk, the greater the potential reward, and it's wise to seek guidance from seasoned professionals.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
That does make a lot of sense, unlike us, you seem to have the Market figured out. Who is this coach?
My CFA ’ANGELA LYNN SCHILLING’ , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
Thank you for the lead. I searched her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
I would much rather live amongst the corn and soybeans than Miami chaos. Miami is nice to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. Too expensive.
Too expensive and chaotic 😔.
that neighborhood where Michael used to live at , very quiet , clean .
There's nothing wrong with those homes , we are watching in the background of this video.
It is funny, people from small to medium sized towns used to always say to me "in 20 yrs this place will be a big city" but alot of these places are actually going backwards. Huh.
You're right. There's a whole fascinating back story about how we expected things to pan out in a rosy way to benefit everyone but in reality some places just die out and turns out many places that flourish just get un-affordably expensive.
Thank you for these videos. It’s so refreshing to get current events from a non-mainstream media source, especially from someone who is just barely old enough to be president rather than somebody who is already on borrowed time. 😂
People need to live within their means.. period!!
I been living within or below my means, just NOT above .
Why make someone else rich .
Anyone who intentionally chose to buy and live in a Condo is profoundly unintelligent.
SAME with ANY home in an H.O.A.
Let's not be silly. There are millions of people living in condos who are quite intelligent and who are quite comfortable and worry-free. And there are HOAs that are managed well and provide a level of comfort and security.
Wow! $134K per unit assessment charge in FL is extreme but greed is the downfall for buyers/sellers who continue to pay exorbitant prices. It’s artificial appreciation on a piece of paper.
The condo market crash has been hitting hard lately. Prices are dropping fast.
For years, people from Florida felt it necessary to brag about how much their homes were worth and going up in value. Now they are complaining about taxes, HOA’s and special assessments. Well guess what, the majority of America doesn’t feel bad for you. Pay your bills or move.
Yes please move so those of us from here can enjoy our state
I feel the same. They knew what they signed up for. Now they hate the free market (insurance).
The governor and legislator need to get a grip on taxes and insurance in Florida. What brought people to Florida has disappeared, and people/families are leaving. My situation is different, but I find myself constantly looking at my debt to income ratio and how living where I do in Florida negatively impacts our personal finances.
What do you want Gov Short Stack to do about insurance?
Do you hate the free market?
@MrSteeDoo how about off setting the cost with the rainy day funds.
@@rodneywalden5358By lowering taxes? That might happen.
I've been seeing pockets of homes all over the country drop in price significantly just this month. A couple houses I was watching in GA dropped between 75k an 85k in one day while only been on the market for 30 days or less. Something is happening for sure. Can you imagine how devastating it would be to buy a house for 515k last month, only to have it's value drop to 430k this month? Maybe lower next month? Brutal.
Your story about riding the school bus was hilarious. I was the first stop myself, only I was the first off. I hated riding the bus. It gave me a good laugh, thanks. 😂
Michael, you should go knock on the door and introduce yourself to those people. They’ll probably let you and hanging out. That’s what I would do if I was back in Connecticut.
I would love to do the same thing, visit the house I grew up in. A small village that has changed little since I left to go to college. Walked by it a few times, but never got the courage to do that. Its 200 miles away from where I live now, so I only visit the area for funerals now of family members who are fading away.
My wife and I have friends that were comfortable in 2019. Now they are upside down. Thanks, Michael.
I'm from Indiana, retired in Florida, and looking forward to a short vacation away from the heat and humidity of everyday living in the sunshine state.
I'm currently living in Florida and I've never been to Illinois but that's where I'm at right now visiting a friend. I'm actually looking forward to going home but it's been a nice visit with the weather being less humid
I think the rural Midwest with all the land will make a comeback. Reasonable values , Fresh Water and less crowds
@@johnr2273a lot of the water supplies in Wisconsin and other states are contaminated with fertilizers. Make sure you install a water filtration system.
Has it ever occurred to you that they WANT to empty a building by assessing people out?
Wow, love where you lived when you were growing up. I was never impressed with Florida but I could live in your home town with all the green space.
When you get towards the northern part of the State of Florida there's a lot more trees and hills. I mean I'm gulfside inland north of Tampa and I couldn't be happier
How about the Winters??
I GREW UP WITH A CORNFIELD IN MY BACKYARD TOO!!
BATAVIA, ILLINOIS ❤
Your old neighborhood makes me think of the movie North By Northwest with Gary Grant and Eva Marie Saint. Which I believe was mostly shot in Illinois on a road like you pointed the camera down. The endless corn fields and flat as a pancake land. Thanks so much for showing your old neighborhood. I know we can never go home again, but those times were the best for me growing up, since I lived in much the same sort of place.
johnny that sounds cool
@@vincentortega4284 IT WAS, ONLY 12 HOUSES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, WE PLAYED HIDE AND SEEK IN THE CORN, ROAD BIKES EVERYWHERE, FISHED ACROSS THE STREET, AND NIEGHBORHOOD HOCKEY IN THE WINTER.. IT WAS GREAT, YOU HAD TO LEAVE THE HOUSE TO FIND ADVENTURE.. ... AHH, THE LOW TECH 70'S ON A COUNTRY ROAD.❤
Me too sorta, red barns and corn fields a short bike distance out of town, Wisconsin, now nothing but houses and Starbucks at every corner. Ruined
It's kind of interesting to me that a lot of Illinois outside of the areas around the lake have fallen into such ruin or had the properties bought was to create more warehouses or data centers. Bensenville I'm looking at you
Refuse to pay and let the condo foreclose
Hey Michael….keep walking right onto Cali I lived in palm Beach for 25 years doing real estate the entire time. Yes I was in the right place at the right time I’m out and waiting. California is my target for now. So, good luck and keep these videos coming - you’re the best
I like you showing us your old neighborhood Michael. I recently did a tour of my own neighborhood where I grew up, very nostalgic.
Old buildings should sell for less.
How about
Old cars
Old paintings
Old jewelry
Old weapons
Or old anything...
When you buy an old house you generally are buying location and land.
@@hvaball150 Right. The land (usually) appreciates. The box of sticks always depreciates. It's no better than an automobile.
I bought a condo in my early 30th in Denver , 2/2 26 years later ( few months ago ) I bought a condo in Florida right on the water 2/2 . The price reflected the current downturn and assessments to come but it was the same price I paid 26 years ago in Denver !!! So for me I feel it is still a good deal compared to many other cities in the USA. Love your channel Michael!!!!
I hate change! I am an older person but even as a kid, I hated change, probably from watching things go downhill since the mid '60s.
1968 for sure.
1961 if you lived in Detroit.
1964 when Johnson went into Vietnam; started his Great Society and embezzled monies from Social Security.
Nixon was no better. Went into Laos and Cambodia and got rid of the gold standard.
You can name the number of good presidents in one hand.
“Progress.”
I’m the same way… psychologist even tried to give me a condition. No it’s just I don’t like change for the worse
Michael, I appreciate the transparency! You’re a G 💯
This is BS do your due diligence before you buy. Buildings that needs new roof , stucco etc are obvious 🙄
Business smarts with midwestern values this dude cant lose
Just add a family (i.e. kids)
Lol dude has no business smarts...maybe on the Midwest scale
Business smarts? Does he have a real job?
Can we not just be nice? If you don’t like him, don’t watch! I enjoy him.
I’ve lived in multiple condo communities with zero problems, but I really think the HOAs should be sued when they have to do these ridiculous assessments. Sure, everyone wants a low monthly hoa fee, but it has to be enough to properly maintain the property and have a large enough reserve for these long term issues. Having a huge assessment means the property and the funds were not properly managed, so see you in court.
My thoughts too. 80% mismanagement
It's hard enough to get quality people to serve on condo boards though. Lawsuits today could be the result of many years of mismanagement from prior board trustees. Who wants to serve on the board of a condo complex that's facing special assessments and a horde of angry owners?
Michael, Listening to you is like walking and talking with an old friend. Your stores are amazing and the supporting data you provide to make your case is always impressive.
Great eye opener Michael, So many people will have to face reality soon and it’s going to be a financial calamity, safe travels brother!!
I grew up in Beloit and as a teenager worked in Rockford and Loves park..in the 70s…before the rustbelt days..
Thanks for sharing your life journey with us.
JUST THE START......Things are going STRAIGHT DOWN.....Hold on TIGHT....its going to get ROUGH
about staying in your condo for retirement, just think, that building will be 20 years older and probably needing even more repairs thus costing more money. Get out while you can 🤷♀️
Another great video! Safe travels, sir!!!
Triple hit, increasing insurance, increasing property taxes, and then the special assessments with annual assessments increasing!
That's what you get for living in FL. LOL
The neighborhood I grew up in is almost unrecognizable now. The house my adoptive family bought way back in the early 70's for around 100k is now valued at well over 250k, almost 300k, for what was a 2 bedroom ranch (which they built a room addition for a 3rd bedroom and bathroom after adopting me). The streets we used to play kickball on for hours are now 4 lane almost highways, every bit of forest and grassland have been built up, and it's all nothing but drab tract overpriced housing. Even the land they bought in the 80's here in Colorado where I live now is almost an island surrounded by developments. I plan on retiring in Montana, a little town in the far NW of the state spitting distance from Canada, it's one of the few places left that isn't overrun with people and rubberstamp housing.
The only reason I can afford to put aside money for a little piece of land out in Montana is because I live like a Monk, I hike everywhere in town, cook my own meals, and other than bushcraft gear, I spend very little.
Time to stop talking crap on California and focus on your state of Florida where even you want to sell .
Amen
HOA fees in a condo I know of, doubled without sufficient notice. People didn’t even get 30 days notice, and they are angry because dozens of homeowners would rather have sold to avoid that disaster. Imagine paying $1,800.00 a month and 30 days later paying $3,600.00
IF YOU VOTED FOR THE GUY WHO SAID; “You will own nothing but you’ll be happy!”
YOU DESERVE IT!!! If so, GFY !!!
Where did that happen?
They should sue, class action, against their condo associations & fast!
Happened to my buddy in Miami, Carlos Dos Santos. I spoke to him a week ago, he is moving to Algarve Portugal.
Who said that quote?
@@TimeToBeKind I've heard good things about Portugal...good luck!
