Hearted Youtube comments on Michael Bordenaro (@MichaelBordenaro) channel.

  1. The ban on enemy countries buying real estate in America should be nationwide.

  2. I started using Uber because it was less expensive than a taxi. This is no longer the case. I started booking Airbnbs because they were less expensive than a hotel. That is no longer the case. There seems to be a natural evolution of these alternative-to-the-establishment companies. They always start off on the side of the little guy, providing a cheaper alternative to the behemoth corporations.......and then people start getting greedy.

  3. How can they ever justify 44k a year for property taxes for a single family home? That's insane!
    343
  4. Yes, that's why I left Florida, I got sick and tired of subsidizing wealthy beach front property owners and "their" beach renurishment. Nope never going back.
    342
  5. We’re past the point of no return.
    339
  6. 5,000 Airbbs in Southeast Florida had:• ZERO BOOKINGS In the last 12 months. Ouch!!!

  7. Freedom to sleep on street, freedom to shoplift, freefom to take drug、 freedom to cross border and squat at someone's home. Welcome to CA, Newsome's state.
    337
  8. People are saying no to new cars not just new electric cars

  9. I am a real estate appraiser with over 20 years of experience appraising in Miami, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie Counties. I recently moved to SC because all of these issues in Florida that you have mentioned. FINALLY, someone is talking the truth about how Florida changed. Thanks Michael! I am 55 and I cant afford to loose almost 20k/year that I was loosing paying for property tax and insurance ONLY. Now I am living in a country club community on 1.4 acres in a 2200sf house with a pool on the golf course with 300 feet of gold course view. My property tax and insurance is COMBINED TOTAL $2,700. I can use the 17k/year savings to invest and actually make money with it rather than give it away to the government or insurance companies. I love DeSantis and the beach BUT as you said it is just not worth it to stay there anymore.

  10. New Yorkers and Chicagoans need to put an end to this unlimited immigrant nonsense--RECALL your mayors and city council members! They can cancel the sanctuary city status in 5 minutes if they voted on it--but they don't want to.
    334
  11. Nobody needs these big trucks and SUVs unless they live on a ranch and need to haul hay or lots of people.
    333
  12. You forgot to mention that insurance for EV's is high, because when it catches on fire in your garage, it will burn your house down.
    332
  13. How can anyone feel good after paying $18 for a hamburger?
    328
  14. I'm 60. Zero debt. No mortgage. No car loans. No credit card debt. Keeping my old cars. Not buying anything substantial for a while
    327
  15. The lawyers won and everyone else got screwed.
    325
  16. As a Mechanic Michael, I own a 1974 Chevy pickup, a 50 year old truck with the original engine, transmission and stills runs great for it's age and condition, I doubt an EV will last that long, they even say that the battery lasts only 8 years on average. Driving in town and suburbs an EV is fine, but in the middle of nowhere it's not practical.
    318
  17. The rich and wealthy pee on us and media tells us it's raining.
    317
  18. A $400 medical emergency would cover maybe an ingrown toenail removal.
    316
  19. The American citizens are struggling!
    314
  20. I did it for 14 years left in 2008 when the bottom fell out of the market. I did rentals for a while to keep my head above water then they dried up too! I prefer to not live on a rollercoaster I needed to take care of my family and needed a steady income. So many shady agents who will lie all day and I did not do that. Also other agents stealing clients I was just done with the BS
    314
  21. No cuts will fix this mess. I think it will take a giant meteor to fix our economy 😢😢
    311
  22. Full time jobs are disappearing in the Midwest. Takes 2 part time jobs now just for the basics.
    306
  23. Been working since 1976. 65 tired and worn out. Fully debt free but taxes and insurance is insane. I rested for 18 months, getting decent SSA benefits but it's not enough. Oh well - hi ho, hi ho, it's back to work I go.
    304
  24. “ get rid of all of this stuff , possibly even the girl friend “ Classic
    300
  25. They don't want FL to turn in CA. Such a great move.
    300
  26. I barely make 3k/month and I bust my butt. It's rough out here for regular people. I remember when $25/hr was a good job, now it's barely getting by.
    297
  27. The only things I put on my credit card are booze, strippers, and cash advances for eight balls of blow. Aside from that, I’m very responsible with my credit card spending.
    297
  28. Closing costs are insane ! Property taxes are insane ! House prices are insane! And those who control HOA’s are nuts ! Housing is a necessity, not a luxury!
    297
  29. My dishwasher wouldn't start the other day. I called Best Buy cuz I had their warranty. They quoted $99 to come out and look at it. My warranty only gave me 10% off! I was so mad that I took it apart and fixed it--it was a loose cable.
    296
  30. "they don't care about us anymore" They never did.
    295
  31. They want them to be completely homeless. America!
    294
  32. Hedge Fund / Private Capital is buying these parks, they don’t care. It’s time to outlaw corporate ownership and force divestiture of existing holdings.
    293
  33. The simplest way to explain what's coming is to imagine if in 2007, everyone who bought too much house actually paid an additional 45% on top of 2006 prices, and then their homeowners insurance went up 300% in 2 years, their groceries and utilities bills went up 45% and all of their other bills went up 40% as well. And then they lost their job like they did in 08-09. It's really that much worse this time. People factually have LESS money saved in the bank today than they did in 2006-2007 as shown in the FRED economic data on personal savings rates. It's going to be ALL TIME bad here shortly, save your money to feed and house your family - nothing else.
    291
  34. The biggest scam of all when you buy a condo is that you still have to pay property tax. Property tax on what? You don’t even own your outside walls. What a joke
    290
  35. Debt is slavery.
    290
  36. If NYC receives just a few hundred loads less per day it will be a major crisis for the city, it doesn't need to be 100%. President Nixon was driven into a major fit when the truckers shut down during his presidency and that protest only had 20% or so of truckers actually shutting down. Colorado caved when truckers boycotted that state and nobody even heard about that boycott. This isn't near over yet.
    289
  37. And yet with all this data normal people will still be gaslit to thinking everything is fine... 😑
    287
  38. 2 smartest guys in real estate today!!! I’m a broker in South Florida. I watch every single video both put out. They’re the only 2 realtors I agree with! They are absolutely on point!!!
    287
  39. Congratulations Michael. We all appreciate your 5 years on YouTube. Enjoy your celebration this evening.
    287
  40. A very healthy form of boycott.
    286
  41. I'm an agent here in Sarasota and I can tell you that houses in the "New construction" price range (mid 500s to 800k) are collecting dust. My buyers either can't afford the payments now or think the market is going to keep going down so they won't buy. And these are cash buyers, they didn't get wealthy by being stupid.
    286
  42. Michael, just visited The Villages pricing homes. Saw a pre-owned home built/purchased in Summer of 2023 for 545K. Seller has the home listed for 830K. Not just the only one with 300K price increase in less than a year. The Real Estate Industry, the Appraisal Companies and the Inspectors are just flat out exploiting the market like Car Salesman. 300K increase in less than a year is goddamned criminal. The real estate and auto industry has exploited Americans for decades. Can’t wait for the crash to hit and let everything burn to the ground.
    286
  43. People laughed about “better go get a couple of tents” before you’re priced out; but here we are. Australians will tell you that there’s a supply shortage of tents. It’ll be here soon.
    286
  44. if I was buying a house, I already know I do not need a realtor, just a closing lawyer.
    285
  45. Not just theft. No one can afford their high 🤬 prices either.
    284
  46. Yeah, im cooking more at home. I also would rather spend my money at a locally owned family restaurant
    283
  47. As a truck driver, it is pretty apparent. In 2020 we had a shortage of a half a million truck drivers. Fast forward to today, where there's a hundred thousand truck drivers who are unemployed because there's not enough freight to move.
    281
  48. Moral of the story: Never get an adjustable rate mortgage.
    281
  49. No state income tax, but high property taxes. They gonna get you either way.

  50. I paid a lot of bills debt last night. In 2017 I had $52,000 debt. In 2023 I have $19,000 debt. I am working hard and not traveling and not eating out or going to movies. I stay home and cook my own food and I crochet blankets. I also walk and do weights. I do not belong to a gym . People younger than me are enjoying life and not sacrificing. I plan on paying off this debt by next year .
