Michael tried six times before getting his lovely patio villa. He has immersed himself into the community and is participating in many activities. He loves his new home but was surprised and disappointed to find that he is the only resident on his block. He says the other homes are rental properties! Join Jerry and Linda as they discuss his new home, the process, and the unique situation he now finds himself in.

Michael, I am one of the renters just around the corner from you and spoke to you and another neighbor this morning from inside our rental car. I was surprised to turn on the video tonight and see your smiling face! We are from Colorado too. It was great to meet you today and I hope things work out for you. You're a genuinely nice guy!

Michael is a natural in front of the camera. That's such a shame about all the houses being sold to investor landlords. It completely changes the complexion of the street. TBH, if I were him, I'd limit the home upgrades for now and start looking for a different home but on a street with full-time residents. He's in a better position to look around with less time pressure now.

@dogcrazy25 Жыл бұрын

Yes but it's expensive to buy and sell a house around 60k easy. Who's to say his next neighborhood won't turn into renters. I'm surprised TV allowed so many rentals in one location. Some of his upgrades could enhance his ability for a better sale.

@emmylou-y4b Жыл бұрын

We don't live in The Villages but I've been watching several channels over the last few years and not all renters take care of the property. Michael is making costly improvements and should have neighbors who are at least part time resident like "snowbirds." The developers (or whoever) should block out specific streets and make them all rentals/air B&Bs and not sell them to residents without telling them the situation.

Hi Debbie thank you for the nice comment - I’ve thought about limiting upgrades and sell in December for a nice hefty profit, but I absolutely love my home and living in Richmond - since this video was shot, I’ve met a few more neighbors here - and we think some of these investors are going to flip and sell their homes at the end of this year, and maybe the new buyers will be resident-owners - we’ll see.

A little tip to those who have a few months before moving to The Villages- We will move to TV in August. 3 months ago we called The Villages Golf Cars dealer and put a deposit down on a new golf cart. It will be ready for us to pick up the day we move in, rather than living in TV without a cart, and wait several months as Michael had to.

Super nice man. Friendly and honest. Great interview. Renters are not optimal. My parents had renters for decades. They are also nice people too. Renters as great as they are don’t own the property and just don’t have the same intensity as owners about the property. I think what would be worse than being a renter is to live near the highway or turnpike. I would not want to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to live near traffic all day long and all night long. Bottom line: as all the people in the program said do a lifestyle visit and know what you are getting into.

Short term rentals are a plague. That is one reason that we are going to look at top of the world. My understanding is that it is strictly gated and does not allow rentals of less than seven months. At least that is my understanding. We currently live in an oceanfront condominium in Daytona Beach Shores, which allows minimum two week rentals. Anything less than six month rental is problematic.

I do wish that when homes were sold, that The Villages would consider that so many people are moving here to make this their permanent homes. They don’t want to live at a resort that has a revolving door. They want neighbors and friends. I feel like many of the new areas are getting more and more investors, and that’s not fair to people making this their home. Just my opinion.

The time frame push by TV to decide to buy or not just does not set right with me. They, TV don't have a shortage of buyers, but they pressure people to buy with this tactic. Then to end up surrounded by renters would really tic me off. I enjoy the fact I can see my neighbors outside and go talk with them, unfornunately Mike wont have that opportunity. Maybe he can relocate, but that cost's more money and time. I don't feel TV should sell to renters. They seem to regulate almost everything else, so they should shift some focus on the residents who make TV what it is and keep reidents HAPPY.

What a bummer, Michael! I would also be disappointed! BTW we are from Colorado, so we can't wait to meet you when we move out there in a few years. We will do a visit for a week but if you have done the research I'm sure we don't need anything more. I'm so jealous of you! Enjoy the Villages as I'm sure you will have no problems meeting people.

I'm one of your neighbors as well- and I was surprised to find your in Oliver Villas as well- I have found that about 3-5 houses on my street, or more, are rentals. I was surprised about that too- and not too many people have dogs. I'm trying to attend as many Richmond events as possible so I can meet more people- do you know about the Oliver Villas get- together today? They're being held on the last Thurs. of every month at the Clarendon picnic tables- maybe I'll see you there!

We have yet to do our lifestyle visit and are probably going to be looking at Villas. The short term rentals are a concern of ours, does anyone know if you can ask the sales person about short term rentals in your neighborhood before buying?

You can ask But what will they say a sale is moneymaking

It’s a shame the rentals will take over. That won’t be good in the long run.

I love Linda’s royal blue top. The color is very flattering ❤

With ALL the clubs to join and activities to participate in, and your outgoing personality, before long, your "dance card" will be full. Plus the upgrades...yes, you will be BUSY!! A blessed and active future to you!
