Our insurance is under 700 with both types of sink hole coverage and as of taxes it is based on various items.
I thought that closing in thirty days and the penalty was only on new homes from the developer who requires a conventional mortgage. I think each lender has their own closing rules on used homes.

When you buy a new home here, you cannot use VA or FHA because they don't guarantee closing in thirty days. You can use VA or FHA on used homes.

When you begin building here, they give the closing day and time. There is a penalty even if you want to close early. They are a well oiled machine and they do not have to accommodate your issues. However, we found that your aftercare is stellar and we have been very pleased with both new homes we bought here.
