Right now, I would never put down my hard -earned cash on a mobile home in Florida unless the park was resident owned. Every week I read about a horror story whereby a corporation purchases a park and either raises the lot rents exorbitantly or evicts the resident to build on that land.
That is a popular news story. It does happen occasionally and is a consideration when picking a park. Choosing a park owned & managed by one of the larger REITs is a strategy to minimize that risk. Resident owned parks have some risk as well. What the news never prints, and likely never will, are the stories of the hundreds of thousands that enjoy every day of their life in MH land-lease parks here in Florida. It's not the right choice for everyone, no choice is. That's why I've started my MH New Buyers class - to educate folks on the choices available. Armed with that knowledge, you can make a choice that fulfills your dream and meets your needs.
$985 a month and you don't own the land is too pricey.
NP JG JG , 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 czcams.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.
Good channel we think !!
Very true my friend! You know, we believe the mkt.gonna improve ( what I mean is for those making large purchases). Then this; in a few no.s will also help the land rental costs, for those needed to lease the land.We may do same thing. Best of luck to ya'- real good chfannel, yeah.
Could not agree more JG! The lot rents are why that house is 68k. And they only go up every year or 2. Pretty home though. Crazy lot fees, plus utilities!
Ya lot fee is like a mortgage payment
You are the best CZcams realtor . You show the house and the neighborhood . very informative . Thanks
I appreciate that, but I am not a realtor nor do I sell homes.
Yes and he shows maps! Very helpful. I gave it thumbs up.
Im not 55 yet. However, in planning for retirement, I appreciate all your hard work in putting together your content. Sorry to see harsh comments because of community fees/rents. Not in your control. You freely give away information on your channel that shows options in Manufactured housing in Fl. Thumbs up. Keep up the good work, and enjoy your retirement. I'll keep watching..
Thanks for the kind words. BTW, not every 55+ requires you be 55 🙂
Very very Nice! Ooorah!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice video Russ, we're down here from the north and just went thru that development yesterday. Thanks for what you do!
Very cool!
Wow, that was really a fabulous one in truly move in condition. Like you could just move right in and not feel like you had to do at least some cosmetics. I hope I would be able to find one as nice as this for this price when we finally decide to make the move!
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm sure we can help when the time comes. Meanwhile, stay tuned!
Lot rent is insanely high. In an economic downturn, they will be giving these places away. Nice presentation 👏

Nice showing Russ but even if ya paid cash for the house the lot rent is approaching the cost of a mortgage payment.
That is correct, at least on a small mortgage. We each have our goals and ideas on what is worth our hard-earned assets. There is no question this does not meet everyone's needs. The idea is to present enough information that you can know the alternatives and make an informed decision. Glad we can help you in that regard. It sounds like a Resident Owned Community or a home on private land might suit your needs. Check these out: czcams.com/video/10eCCZjxyJ0/video.html
Thanks, Russ, for another fun and informative video! Beautiful home, but I prefer the lannai to be placed out back, so the living room is light and airy and has an unobstructed view of the street. I personally love a community with a lot of rules. I agree that the parks that inforce the rules look much neater and visually pleasing. I love how you continue to remind us all that you show a wide variety of manufactured living situations, and of course, one size does not fit all. Choices!
Happy New Years and thanks for the kind words. IMHO it's important a future buyer see as many choices as possible. You are bound to like some more than others and who wants a world where we all like the same thing? There are a few who seem to believe they have all the right decisions for everyone else but usually, upon closer examination, I find those are often folks who have made some pretty crappy decisions themselves. 🙄
Ever visit or do a video on Water Oaks Country Cluc Estates in Lady Lake ? It's a manufactured home community near The Villages? Would love to see a review on it.
I have talked with a few folks who were on their HOA Board of Directors. They seemed to like it there. It is owned by SUN Communities,
@@RussellWatsonFMHL Would be nice to see you profile it and make a video of it.
Great tour! You really notice all of the little details and outline all of the big ticket items.
Thanks so much!
It looks pleasant enough. I would want minimal amenities - emergency and doctor travel service, check on residents every several days in case someone fell - along with yard work and trash service. That's about it for a lower monthly fee.
We have featured many communities that fill that bill.
Sweet home. love it.
Glad you liked the video!
I recently moved into a gated community that I knew had a lot of rules, which I had no problems with. Unfortunately, nobody enforces the rules. And like a bunch of little kids everybody starts doing what they want to do because other people do them.
Is it a land-lease community? There are signs I teach my students to look for before they buy. Most buyers don't catch these as they are too busy looking at the clubhouse and the pool on their sales tour. Knowing what you know now, would you have made a different choice?
Another great video, Russ. Hope you had a really nice Christmas, and certainly wish you and your family a happy and prosperous 2023. Do you know if any of the three Village Green communities allow a fenced in back yard for pets? Thanks so much.
Thanks, you too! Dennis Natoli, who helped with this video, is also a resident and HOA board member in VG. You can find his contact link in the video description. There is also a link to the VG website with a phone number and contact form for park management.
wow, amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful home. Nice remodel. Lot rent to high per month though.

Rule of thumb: you always want to own the land! The land owner can impose too many restrictions otherwise.
@@michaelsigismonde7958 I gather that is your preference and that's fine. But tens of thousands of retirees in Florida are quite happy with leased land and someone else managing the community. One size does not fit all.
Nice looking Home. Happy New Year Russ.
Happy new year!
It was all great until the 900+ monthly fee. I would rather buy a place and own the lot.

Happy New Year
Definitely a nice home but $12000 a year for rent? You would be better off to buy a home. Your taxes would be thousands less. Even with the amenities I don’t think it is a smart buy. Please, if I’m missing something here let me know.
We each have our unique set of financial resources and ideas of how we wish to spend our golden years. I think you have identified where this option doesn't meet your wants and needs. That's great! Glad we can be of service. But for tens of thousands who can afford these communities, it has proven to be a choice that matches their financial goals, financial resources, and desired lifestyle. I have a friend with over a million dollars in liquid assets who lives in a house that hasn't changed (same carpets, same half remodeled kitchen, same 200 things that need updating) in the thirty years I have known him. Nor does he want to spend the money to do so. We all have different values and different goals.
I have friends that are snowbirds. They told me Florida home insurance is out of control...
I just spoke with my agent while researching this topic for my MH New Home Buyers course. She says some carriers are tightening up on what year homes they will insure and also rates in some areas have increased more than others. But insurance is readily available. I haven't compared it to other parts of the country but I imagine it's pricier than benign states like North Dakota, as an example. Living in paradise can be more expensive and certainly isn't for everyone. My insurance on a 1986 MH roughly 5 miles from the ocean is a little over $2K and went up about 5% when I renewed it in Sept. Seemed pretty reasonable to me.
I really like this home, so big, bright and airy! I'm coming down to FL soon, maybe I can check this one out - if it's still available!
Please do! Feel free to contact Dennis if Village Green is of interest. His contact info is in the description.
No way for me. Never living where there is a HOA. Too many complaints plus you are paying them to tell you how to live. I get the concept to keep the neighborhood looking nice but I live in a house in Palm Coast Florida and we don't have a HOA but the city has drivers that go around to enforce and keep the neighborhood looking nice. You get a warning on your door and then fined if you don't fix it.
Glad you have a home that meets your needs. Community living is not for everyone. Hopefully the city doesn't hire anyone too overbearing. When I first moved into my current home I did a lot of remodelling. The park manager was fine with my temporary setup of construction tools in my driveway but one neighbor didn't like her naps being disturbed so instead of contacting me to work something out she called the county. They sent an inspector who threatened to fine the park owner if I didn't cease and completely remove everything, even the battery charger for my golf cart, from my carport. It took a few calls to her supervisor before sanity and reason prevailed. So it's not as much just having an HOA - it's more about having reasonable people in positions of responsibility.
Thanks but I'm to Old to run from Hurricanes! Good luck! 🤔
You can do it! Besides, it's pretty rare to have to evacuate. Looking at the winter storms around the country now I'm awful glad to be in Florida. Snowbirders have the best of both worlds.
Regular homes or even Mobile homes, want to research what is going on in Florida USA, re: a feature we’re primarily interested in, i.e., privacy fences. Lots of reg. Homes (not mobile) are nice, but, those homes are a little too close to not have any privacy fences - quality of life issue for us. Have to inquire, our of curiosity, like in the Villages, believe we see occasional natural privacy fences, a greenery privacy fence. What’s going on down there? But, thank you for the video.
Almost never except in communities where you own the lot. Then it depends on dead restrictions.
This is what I'm looking for...close to beach but not sure about land lease

Very Nice, Perfect!!! How much???
The asking price at the time the video was filmed is in the video.
Manufactured homes are not affordable options . For seniors on SS The Home might be reasonable, but almost 10,000 + a year for rent.
They are more affordable than many options and there are communities with lower and higher lot rents. You are right, there is very little other than subsidized housing that is affordable to a senior that has to rely solely on SS for income. Unless you have the capital to buy into a Resident Owned Community.
Although really nice and a great neighborhood, that lit rent is extraordinary 😢 and it doesn’t even include garbage 🤬

@@RussellWatsonFMHL what are your thoughts on increasing insurance costs? Thanks 🙏
@@CyndiOyea I imagine they will go up, as has everything else in the last two years. Mine actually went down this year. It won't affect me near as much as the increased costs at the pump, at the grocery store, and at the pharmacy. Since far more damage, in the last hurricane, was done to high end homes on or very near the water; prices where most manufactured housing communities are may remain similar.

Would you name a couple mobil home parks that would have trash service, lawn service, possibly check on resident service.. Thank You
Dolores, there are hundreds of parks in Florida that might meet that bill. I don't make recommendations but if you want a guide to picking and researching parks I recommend my book: Retirement in Florida - Manufactured Homes & The Land-Lease Option

What about insurance for a place like this? is it mandatory? I'd ask about renting a place like this out but the monthly lot rental is a killer.
Some communities require insurance and this is becoming more widespread. That's one of the many questions for your community search checklist.
Lot rents are getting so high in 55 and over parks! The park we have cheap owner who ups the rent every year, he also adds new rules that cost owners money. Example….the over sized trees he had planted er years ago are now too big, and are not an asset during hurricane season. He’s made lot rents and home owners are not expected to maintain the trees….. the estimates to remove the 2 in our back yard was $2,500 each but doesn’t include stump removal!!!! We are seniors not millionaires! Be sure to read the park rules… read it twice!
In many community meetings I attended I met folks who bought in without understanding lot rents, looking at the prospectus, or reading the rules. That is why I started my MH New Buyers course. Making informed decisions can save you many headaches and thousands of dollars. Hope you have a strong HOA to help protect your residents.

Lot rent and HOA are killing FL.
I can't see any evidence of that. Park occupancies run 94-98% and almost all parks I visit have a very small percentage of homes for sale. I will say a couple park owners are killing their parks with very high increases to new buyers and in those the For Sale signs are everywhere. We talk about mitigating that risk in my Manufactured Home Buyer program. As for HOAs, visit a few parks. Those with HOAs are much more pleasing in appearance and places I would rather live. But, if no rules is your lifestyle, I have visited plenty of manufactured home neighborhoods where that is the case. Just remember the same goes for your neighbors.
Hi Russ,
Are there any communities that allow German Shepherds?
Thank you
The thing to look for is the term used for animals that are prohibited. Most communities that are managed prohibit "aggressive breeds" which is a list commonly used in the insurance industry and includes German Shepherds. Some communities, like Barefoot Bay czcams.com/video/4G_FcZOZv-E/video.html
prohibit "dangerous dogs". There are legal definitions cited but it does not distinguish by breed but rather by reported and documented bad behavior. Unfortunately there is no central repository for pet policy and they can change at any time so you must research communities individually.
I have lived in Florida since 1959 and I wouldn't live in a manufactured home in Florida unless there was an included spacious and comfortable bunker close by to escape to when HURRICANES or tornado's threaten, as well as "hurricane safe" storage for my stuff I wouldn't want to become blown away in a storm.
You might consider moving to another state. There were far more luxury homes costing many times what a manufactured home costs that were destroyed or severely damaged in Ian. Conversely, there are hundreds of thousands of mobile and manufactured homes standing since the 80s and long before that have weathered every hurricane thrown at them. Not much survives a direct hit by a CAT4-5 hurricane although a strong bunker has a good chance. Around where I live they call them hurricane shelters.
Im interested in Pet-friendly (40 lb dog )communities do they exist. Would like to rent 1st
There are some parks that allow large dogs. Most rentals in parks are by the homeowner. These are usually booked by past renters or those with friends in the park and access to local bulletin boards or Facebook groups. Some agencies list rentals and some may be found through Facebook groups. Both are listed on my website. www.floridamfghome.com/Buyer-Resources There are also some parks where the park owner rents homes. Try ELS, Cove Communities, or Google something like "Rental mobile homes (add area of interest)"
@@RussellWatsonFMHL Thank you soooo much
Lot tent at 985.00 per month or 11,820.00 per year, with taxes in July of 150.00 plus 9.00 a month for garbage = 11,979.00, PLEASE. You don't own the land & the MH depreciates, you'll never reap your investment
Some folks just don't like lot rent. If paying lower monthly fees is high on your priority list why not look at Resident Owned Communities? Here's a list of videos to get you started: czcams.com/video/10eCCZjxyJ0/video.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
Nice but that lot rent is alot

Not owning the land is always a killer for me. You want to own the land. You can get similar deals to this, even when you own the land, but you gotta know where to look. Don't look in those glitzy, pricey areas.
Michael Sigismonde , we each have our goals and ideas on what is worth our hard-earned assets. There is no question this does not meet everyone's needs. The idea is to present enough information that you can know the alternatives and make an informed decision. Glad we can help you in that regard. You are right, you can find good deals on manufactured and mobile homes in rural areas on their own lots in unregulated subdivisions if that's what you want in a retirement home and community.
Totally agree with owning your own land or a co-op. We are searching for these communities as well.
@@cindyireland3394 If you can afford the capital outlay it is a great choice. Be a little investigative of CoOps though. Recently we have seen an increase in the number of them being sold to investors. You may reap a nice profit (that's good, right?) but the community will forever change and you will be at the mercy of those investors regarding rents.
You didn't say the sq feet
Sorry, I do not have that number.
Sr, your directions are messed up, lol (North/south)….
🙄
LOL.....985 a month ??? With the average social security check being around 1500. a single retired person has not much left over to live. Corporate greed is why these lot rents are exploding and there is no end in sight. Also, the higher the lot rent goes up..the lower the worth of the trailer home goes down. Nobody talks about that. Putting a trailer next to a conventional home that is over priced in a real estate bubble looks like a bargain but with the financial factors I have mentioned....it is not.
First, it is a common belief that somehow these communities are supposed to be affordable to a single senior on social security. They once were, I'll grant you that. Short ribs were once so cheap you gave them to your dog. Now I can't afford them at $9/lb. Same with chicken wings. This is not subsidized housing nor is it somehow mandated that you should be able to afford it on $1500/mo. Each community is an offer made by the community owner at a price that is fully disclosed. I agree, if appreciation of the home is a goal in your financial decision, these may not be the best options for you. But for tens of thousands of folks who socked away a little in their working years and have a little capital to spend, the goal is to have fun, be safe, and live comfortably in a nice looking community. They are willing and able to pay a community operator to provide that. There is no one solution that fits all and the only common thread to the many we present on this channel is that manufactured housing can allow you to buy a place in Florida for less $$. We try to provide education that allows each individual (or couple) to decide which option fulfills their dreams and meets their needs.
And rent on average increases 5-10% per year. If the park gets sold you have 90 days to move the trailer. Crazy to rent a lot. Many out there that you purchase the land with the trailer.
@@jasper69234 It does seem a home on it's own lot might suit you best. Be sure to catch our next video as that's exactly what it's about!
@@RussellWatsonFMHL you should also explain the difference between a condo and a co op owned lot. You can still get forced out if you own the land in some cases with voting numbers in the bylaws. I recently learned about this. In my opinion a park where you own the land and have a HOA that runs the clubhouse and pool will be your best bet. It will be the same as owning a house in a subdivision and you can buy or sell at your discretion.
@@jasper69234 I have explained that in past videos but I highlight it in the next one coming out in the next couple days. If you are an Inner Circle member (free - www.floridamfghome.com/Buyer-Resources ) you will get an e-mail notification.
What’s the lot rent
The lot rent at the time this presentation was made is in the video. You would need to contact the agent (listed in the description) to get current pricing for that park.
Nothing personal but how is that a bargain?
The "bargain" part of this home lies in the remodeling that was done. Were you to buy a similar home and do the upgrades this already has my guess is your budget would run over $100K. Maybe much more this year. The concept behind the video is that you can often buy a much nicer home for not a lot more money if you can find one with recent remodeling.
Why do they set them on those UGLY CHEAP brick skirting,????? Wouldnt it look better to side it or something so it doesnt look like a TRAILER??
Every community has seemingly different rules on skirting. Some let you do whatever you want while others are very specific. This skirting may be what the original installer used or it was used to replace what was there at some point. If it's an item that catches your eye be sure to add it to your checklist when shopping for a home and also be sure to ask what choices the community allows.
I don't like hot weather don't like white gray colors
NP, maybe Oregon or Montana might be a fit. 😃
@@RussellWatsonFMHL looking ny but high taxes mi Ohio live western pa know have nice house no hoa wood inside everything one floor so hope don't have move again

No, there is not a dishwasher.
$985 a month after buying the home. Are you kidding me???? No thanks. Cheaper to stay in the upper midwest with gorgeous trees in our paid off mobile home with a 2 car garage on 1/2 acre, two doors from a huge (real) lake and no neighbors across the street!
