What home will $500k buy in the Florida Keys

I live on a 1500 sq. foot house on the water in Bradenton and at my age, 52, I have come to realize that I care much more about access to "things that keep me busy and I enjoy" than the size or luxury of a house. I want to spend as little time as I can in the house and as much time as I can out of the house. This is the smallest house I have ever lived in but the most enjoyable. We always dream of a big house to impress others when we are young....but as we get older all that washes away and we begin to realize how silly that is and what is most important to us. Great house...I think you both will love living there.

Possibilities, possibilities, possibilities! Great mature landscaping. It's the little house that could. Wow, this is amazing. You really found a GEM! Will be interesting to see what the journey will be for it and the lot. I LOVE it!

I'm a native Floridian and wish I could live in the Keys! Can't wait to hear the strategy! Love this property and the yard, omg! Nice purchase.

It's nice you now have homes in Key West, Ramrod and your home in Marathon. Good for you Mark and Laurie. You worked hard for this. It sounds like your home is close to the airport. Thanks for the video, Enjoy it when you have no renters. You really found a nice place.

Great blinders, never saw that before!!! 😮

Great information , thanks for sharing

God bless you both!!!

I absolutely love it !

I’ve Always LOVED A Fireplace in the Home, everyone should be as lucky, we have one in our home currently.

Living in the keys you wouldn't have to have a big house...this is plenty of space...I would imagine you do most of your living outside in that gorgeous weather and beach...I love it..lots of character too...I've never been to Florida but always wanted to visit the Keys....you guys found a great house....

Ok no one has asked how much to insure even if you can and it seems to have been rebuilt kinda after being completed underwater after a hurricane or two yeah I’d only buy as a tear down

Ohhhh this house is great for a couple maybe even a child. This would be great for retirees who have worked hard and now get to enjoy it

good job thank you

Good luck you two with your investment in the Key's!

I love this property and the price of the properties are always going up this is a good investment

First TU! 🙂 I love that house! Very nice. Is it on your rental site?

Did you show this on a previous video before you purchased it or am I crazy?lol you can tell me that I am crazy, it is an aspiration of mine ❤

Great video.

500k may get you a 1967 trailer off water in the lower Keys. Prices vary from island to island and if it's a dry land lot, canal lot or open water lot. Many homes have increased 50% in the last 3 years.

I hope it works out for you two you seem like really genuine people and would love to have a beer with ya....keep living your best life. Oh, and bro keep complimenting that wife of yours she is so cute!
