“Rental property rights” is just another fancy excuse for landlords to keep leaching off hardworking citizens, all while driving up housing costs for new buyers. You will own nothing and be happy
I grew up in Sanford from 1966-1982. I rarely ever went to the beach at all. First too far to go. The weather is unbearable at times. We had gators and plenty of snakes through out the area. And the bugs were horrible and mosquitoes during the summer were disgusting. Never had issue with termites we had the traditional cement block house. Bats never bothered to me at all. When I was growing up crime was not that big of problem. True do have to check out the area. That goes for ANY city you love in.

It can be a plus not to have much nightlife then there’s less drunk people. I don’t mind drinking a wine or two with my meal with friends and conversation, but I don’t go out to get drunk
I think the only thing an hoa should be is more of a neighborhood watch kind of deal. Check for suspicious activity. And when it comes to the house the only things they should have control over is yards that get overgrown and out of control, or anything that would condemn a building. Other than that they shouldn’t be allowed to tell you if you can have a bbq or what type of car to have in the driveway.
Some HOAs just take care of some common areas. And make sure homes are kept up, which is good for neighborhood property values. It's a good idea to check the HOA's covenants and rules before purchasing a home a community. Or pick a neighborhood without an HOA if you prefer not to have rules.
Some HOA board members can get carried away. They're usually voted in, so they can be voted out, too. Unfortunately, it tends to be a thankless, unpaid job so some people don't want to participate. Hopefully the latest bill will help protect homeowners more.
It's good to be informed and know what you're getting into before buying a home in a neighborhood with an HOA. Fortunately there are plenty of other options.
They're very similar to a mobile or manufactured home. They can be put in a park or on land that you own. Alot of the difference has to do with the design. The biggest difference between the two is their size. Tiny homes usually are only anywhere from 100 and 400 sq ft and are designed for a self-sufficient lifestyle. Mobile homes are anywhere from 600 to 1300 sq. ft, allowing for more living space.
I'm not a minimalist by any means but I like the idea of the tiny home number one for the affordability number two it's not too large to maintain and number three it's just me and two cats and I refuse to pay 400,000 or more for a one-bedroom or two-bedroom Cottage home I mean the prices of home today like a one-bedroom Cottage or even condo it's costing the same as a five bedroom home it's ridiculous but if you get your own land or you live somewhere where you're allowed to have a storage shed I'm not necessarily going to be a minimalist but then again when I have my house designed I'll have storage put in it plus with the storage shed I just mentioned above I don't think it would be a problem
@@TheShaverGroup no I would find other Storage Solutions and whatnot especially if you're going to buy your own piece of land to put it on I'm just not a minimalist nor will I be and I'm seeing people who are designing their houses not to be for a minimalist that's the beauty about tiny homes you can make them as big or as small as you want
If you want that lifestyle (like I do) and can do a lot of the work yourself, and have somewhere to park it, then its absolutely worth it. But paying 100k plus, to get from a builder is crazy
Celery city has problems but the ones mentioned are common to most Florida towns. My take on Sanford is it is a nice quiet city. The city is old and new. If I had to fault anything it would be the city services.
I try to keep in mind that many people that move to the area are from out of state, and may not be aware some Florida issues. I find it difficult to find anything wrong with Sanford. Thanks for your input.
It's not nearly enough. If minimum wage just kept up with inflation, it'd be over $20. If it kept up with productivity? It'd be closer to $50. That extra value is being stolen from the employee by the employer.
Hmm, I would think if my neighbors were far away. Well water would be nice. With all the proper filters of course. Close neighbors, not sure about wells ....
If I were to do solar it would be a solar pergola that would not be on my roof and be easier to access for maintenance and possible removal/transport if I desire. Only issue I see is it might be kind of an eyesore for some, and maybe blown apart in a tropical storm?
I'm seeing alot of this popping up, combining a shade structure with solar panels. Lego Land using them for shade in the parking lot. Sounds like a good idea if you have the room, they're done professionally and your homeowners insurance and HOA/municipality approves.
@@TheShaverGroup Indeed, the HOA would be a big blocker. Oh, and I live near the water so hurricanes are always a concern...I'd hate to see how it turns to a flying wing in a CAT 1. Not sure if my insurance would care since it won't be mounted to the home for the fire hazard...if I don't insure the panels?

OK . I just read all the paragraphs in the newsletter in , the Florida Live local act and although I’m an educated person because it is written a little bit in legalese sort of language, I’m having trouble exactly understand everything it means. ?? This seems to mean, it would be anywhere in Florida would apply to it ?
Yes, it applies to all municipalities in Florida. DeBary spearheaded a local movement to get some changes made to it. Basically, municipalities have to allow developers to build low income housing in certain areas with certain zoning.
Section 166.0451 (7)(b) and Section 166.0451 (7)(c) removes a municipality’s ability to restrict the amount of apartments and the height of the buildings for each project.
I can understand that Florida is becoming highly unaffordable for many people and so I think there needs to be something sort of like this, I don’t know if this is the complete answer. I do believe in more walkable towns and more public transport, which I highly enjoy instead of being in the car driving on stressful highways or roads with high traffic. I really enjoy using the sun rail and even finding specials with Brightline. ! If there are higher density apartments built near a downtown area, such as in smaller towns as in Debary or others nearby, then there should be more ways for them to get around without a car all the time such as a good bike way to reach a restaurant or grocery and also safe sidewalks, something that is not built all the time in subdivisions. I really think the land in Florida is becoming quickly built on farms and what was fields for cattle are becoming subdivisions and golf courses which take more water and fertilizer and chemicals against insects. We do need more density in some areas. If there is lower income apartments, then I think there should also be some background checks like the regular apartments
Yes, in order to avoid additional traffic issues with the increased density, then transportation options need to be available. A lot of DeBary's new development is happening around the Sunrail station. But a shuttle like Sanford has would help locals and visitors get to area restaurants and businesses to and from Sunrail. Hopefully the law will work as intended.
The lender sets the price as far as the minimum they will accept, and they approve the final sale. There could be fees or penalties associated with the sale, it would depend on the lender.
There are a couple Catholic churches in the area I know of but I'm not Catholic so I don't have any personal experience. All Souls is probably the largest. Here's a link to their website: asccsanford.org/
That's right. I always check the flood zones and topography and we inform our buyers if there are any issues but not all Realtors do that. Thanks for the comment.
Briefly, the fundamental goal of an HOA is to maintain and improve the community's quality of life and property values. If you purchase a home in a neighborhood or subdivision that has an HOA, you agree to certain rules and pay a recurring fee. A board is elected from the homeowner members and sometimes they'll hire a management company. They manage the budget and enforce the rules. Fees may also pay for amenities, like a neighborhood private pool and take care of upkeep of common areas.
