Default The cottages?

I also looked at "the cottages" three weeks ago when they became available. It seems that they took basic models - such as the patio villas - put them on a larger lot with full bond. The prices were lower as they left out a few features - some had flat surface fiber doors (not pressed 6 panel fiber), no ceiling fans (the wiring in the ceiling was capped), no washers and dryers, no automatic garage door opener, no window blinds and a few other missing items. The new cottages may appeal to someone that wants to do these upgrades themselves.

Our choice for a rental was to purchase a "normal" patio villa with these items and a lot lower bond. The larger lot may appeal to some buyers, but, to us it would be more maintenance.
