OK...Let's gamble! Here is how it goes: You move in from a State other than Florida. You know absolutely nothing about Florida, especially on matters related to real estate. That includes the laws, customs, and regular real estate procedures. You are plopping down three hundred thousand dollars (more or less) of your hard earned money over the decades (how long did it take you to earn this and save it?). You are signing a lengthy contract that holds you to Developer standards for decades (hopefully) to come. You are hearing some of the finest, professionally reviewed advice you could ever get from the Talk of the Villages from people who are unidentified. On the other side, you have heard many people buy in the Villages and they don't seem to have any problems. Does that mean there have never been any problems? So, here is the balance act, spend 500 bucks on a $300,000 (more or less deal) to have peace of mind or take a roll of the dice. Once you sign the contract, you are bound....whether or not you consult with a real estate lawyer who has had at least seven years of post-secondary professional education.

By the way, how much are you spending on drapes?
