Kind of an interesting trick that the developer plays on the price of the home. If they can take a lot of their startup cost and throw them into a bond it keeps the main price of the home down when in fact you're going to pay it whether you like it or not kind of a little cute trick. I don't have a bun so I don't have an issue in this fight but I understand that the interest rate is around 7% for the bond So unless you're making that kind of money and investments you pay off the bond. The villages does not promote that same concept they say oh just never mind nobody pays off the bond Well I guess that depends on interest rates and stock returns choices yours
