I decided the winter of 1989 was going to be my last winter in the northeast. I subscribed to a mail-order Sunday edition of the Miami Herald and began looking for jobs in the want ads. I had to travel to S. FL for four interviews, got a $30K/yr job offer, and was living on the Intracoastal in S. FL w/i six months! Still in FL 30 years later; and now deciding on my FL retirement location.

To be able to call yourself homesteaded, you have to be in FL for at least 180 days? Can you divide the 180 days, so you are living in FL in September, October, November and then leave for December and come back for another 3 to 4 months?

@Columbus1152 4 года назад

We were annual visitors to FL for over 18 years, we stayed on the east coast, west coast, inland, but we fell in love with the west coast sunsets over the gulf. We also enjoy that there are more areas less congested with high rises on the shoreline. I would suggest, before committing to a particular area, rent a house (plenty available on sites like VRBO), and live like you live there. I agree with Michael that vacationing isn't the same as living there. Also visit at different times of the year, traffic, weather, access to parks and beaches change, especially when the snowbirds migrate.

@MichaelBordenaro 4 года назад

Those sunsets really are gorgeous, I love them too😊 It's funny you mentioned the renting the house scenario, because I also made a video recently just about that topic to try and help everyone determine if Florida is for them. Glad we are on the same page, great advice!

I’m watching this while I’m working in Kissimmee, Florida during the pandemic. I actually wanna leave Florida since it’s getting too crowded with not just tourists every summer but in general. I’m working around tourists in the busiest area of the theme parks and man I wanna leave. I feel like people are bringing the virus here from the north lol anyways I wanna go back north but Instead of NYC where I’m originally from, I’m thinking Pennsylvania. Florida sunshine is an illusion I think, it’s beautiful but it’s getting pricey and VERY HOT!

@MichaelBordenaro 4 года назад

That happens to a lot of people that move to Florida from other places. Most stay for a few years, decide it's not for them and move away. But if crowdedness is your only issue, that can be avoided in lesser known areas. Of course Kissimmee is a highly tourist area. But the heat can't be avoided. I'm sure you will figure out what the right choice will be😊

I live in NC so it gets cold here but not as much as illinois (i think) only thing i love about NC is that we get all four seasons (fall/autumn) is my favorite season ! when the leaves 🍁 change colors all the trees look beautiful and it gets cold in the winter time. I love cold weather, but that's all I like about NC only the weather. I hate all the hills and mountains(although i love going to the ski resorts) but I want to move to Florida because I love it!!! 🏖 🏝. Miami is beautiful and i go almost every year / every other year. I have family over there, but is way too expensive to live in miami so im thinking orlando or tampa for me. But i still love watching your videos. If i could afford it i would prefer Miami, but oh well 🤷🏻‍♀️

@MichaelBordenaro 4 года назад

I love the mountains actually and skiing. But if you want to live in Miami, instead look at it as "how can I afford it?" Because there are some pretty decent deals here, depending on where in Miami you want to live and what you plan to do for work. If it is a dream of yours, don't give up on it👍

@octzone 4 года назад

Patience is absolutely no problem for me. I've got tons of patience and living in NY, I deal with lots of impatient people and everyone is always rushing. even in this current pandemic when I'm driving on the highway that the speed limit is 50, people going way over 50. Hitting 65, 70. like, why speed like that when there's nothing open and no traffic at all??. I definitely gotta have a list of things to do. Having a job and changing my ID are some of those main things.

@MichaelBordenaro 4 года назад

octzone That is a great virtue to have. I have had to learn patience painfully slowly here but it’s getting better. And I see the same thing here! People speeding down the road to get where? Everything is closed here too. Strange... glad you like the video😊

@cynicalcindy1434 4 года назад

Some people really enjoy driving fast so when there is no one on the road, they get to drive stress-free. It's their ticket to pay, not yours. As long as they aren't driving erratic, chill and stay right.

Guys....guys, I live in Los Angeles, ok? Ppl drive like NUTS here, ppl are always in a hurry [wheres the fire?] at first I was kinda enjoying this fast pace of life here in LA now its start to annoying me, thats one of the main reasons I am moving to FL, not talking about cost of living, security, high rents, snob ppl thinking they are better than you because they drive a Tesla or a Jaguar, tired to see homeless, drug addict, creeps & crackheads all over the city, when I walk my dog after the sunset here in my neighborhood, I take my flashlight & pepper spray with me, yep I have been attacked before, so there you have it. I will find happiness and quality of life in FL :)

@dianaoliver8493 4 года назад

I was born in NW Indiana, one hour from Chicago. You will be much happier in Florida! You can say goodbye to Lake Effect Snow, long winters, and the cold. I'm in Jacksonville. I love that we don't have snow or ice or bitter cold. Jacksonville is very mild. Bear in mind that people's definition of HOT varies widely. People in Chicago and NYC think 82 is too hot. This is the south, it gets warm for sure. But as long as you have an open mind, A/C in your vehicle, and central heat and air in your home, you're going to love it. Our utility company is nonprofit so you will save on keeping cool. Nearly every home has a fireplace which is often enough to warm your house when it gets chilly. After a couple of years living in NC, our insurance dropped significantly after becoming Florida residents. Come visit the Jacksonville-St. Augustine area. Venture a bit west and south. You'll know where to move. Michael is right, have a game plan. Base your residence location on where you work and on your lifestyle. Avoid the coastal areas to save on homeowner's insurance and flood insurance, avoid living too close to the highway for more peace, and avoid HOA residences to save on fees, drama, and ridiculous rules. I will never understand why people pay money to jerks that enforce dumb rules like not displaying the American flag, no colored curtains or blinds, no Christmas decorations, and needing written authorization to replace your front door.

Awesome video yet again .... I didn’t even think about the driving license issue. I’ll have to look into that. Thank you for that. Just another idea for a Video if you like :-). When buying a house (with a pool); what is to look out for people that coming from abroad. Do I need a special pool insurance? Hurricane insurance? Do I need to do a structural survey prior to buying the house (in the UK you have to do a home buyers report prior to purchase if you need a mortgage - also required by the insurance company- that’s why I am asking). Assuming the house was recently renovated (prior to being on the market) do I need to check valid planning permission? Approval by building control? Or is it any type of certificate I have to check to make sure I am buying a safe house. Are there any benefits in buying a house in a gated community other that it is just a regular neighborhood with a gate? Thank you very much again 🙏

@MichaelBordenaro 4 года назад

Thank you Lior! I am not aware of needing any special pool insurance. When you buy a house though, you will hire an inspector, who will come and inspect the structure of the home, the plumbing, the electrical, all the appliances, the roof and all the cosmetic stuff too, including the pool. Then any issues that are uncovered are delivered to you in an inspection report,. From there you have time to review it, and see if you want to still move forward with the sale, ask the seller to repair some of the items, or sometimes, get a credit at closing for repairs. For insurance, you will need homeowners insurance for any house you buy with a mortgage. You will also need flood insurance in certain areas, if the flood plane deems it necessary. Valid plans and such, you don't have to worry much about that . Your title company will run a full title and lien search during the purchase process to see if there are any illegal additions to the home that need to be rectified, any outstanding permits, liens or claims on the property as well. Once they find everything is ok, then they will issue you title insurance at closing, in the event any claim comes forward that wasn't previously found. Wow, I think that is the longest comment ever lol! I will try to address more of these things in future videos 👌

How much cheaper is that Illinois insurance?

@MichaelBordenaro 4 года назад

It was quite a bit cheaper actually. I was paying about $360 every six months for full coverage on my 97 Camaro Z 28. Then once I had to switch to Florida, it went up to almost 500 for the same insurance. Might not sound like a lot now but it definitely was a lot for me at the time.

@Waveringalienss 4 года назад

I have been watching a lot of videos on living in Florida especially from your channel, but I have noticed many other people that live in Miami say the crime and over crowding is one of the growing downfalls on living in the area. Since you have first hand experience would you agree with those opinions?

@juhanategelberg 4 года назад

i've been looking to move there too, but i think where is people there is crime. it's not that bad what they say i think🤔

@MichaelBordenaro 4 года назад

Thank you for watching, I appreciate it 😊 Miami is definitely getting crowded, but by no means as crowded as like NY or LA. The crime where I live in Miami Beach, is very low, and most of it happens in the south beach area when there are large events happening. But in general, this area is very safe, but in Miami, the further west you go, the more crime there seems to be. If that is a big concern for you moving here, then just make sure to do your research on the area, before coming here. Also, feel free to ask me, and I'll give you my opinion 😉

@MichaelBordenaro 4 года назад

Also very true, crime is pretty much unavoidable in any major city. But the amount of crime and what type of crime is what I would pay attention too. And which areas have the most crime 👍
