Those who are looking to buy a home without inspecting it themselves, or having a trusted friend take a look, you might be surprised at the cosmetic condition when you arrive for the closing.
Make certain to call the tax office in whatever county you are purchasing in. DONT trust the realtor to tell you whether or not the tax rate reflects "Homestead" discount...even if you ask.
These realtors are not looking out for you.
It's unfortunate that so many homes are listed in the Villages and are not a MLS.
You bought a home without have a professional inspection? You didn’t go on the property tax web site to see what the taxes were and when and how many times the home had been purchased and the taxes for each year?

You may need to have one of your adult children, or your tax consultant to help you make major purchases from now on. You seem to have missed important decisions on your own, and need to blame someone Else
