So do each of the 60 homes in my courtyard villa neighborhood need a separate thousand dollar title insurance policy? And since the developer surveyed the lots before building the homes do we each have to pay for an additional survey?
Just asking?
In addition most of us purchased these homes via The Villages realtor, mortgaged with The Villages mortgage company, and settled via The Villages title company. Lots of bucks to be made.
Wish I would have thunk it up first.
