Default Expenses...

Once more another question that only you can answer to give my wife and I some insight on what to expect so that we can make the decision final.

We are planning to buy a small Ranch or Villa in the $150 k - $175 K and I think I have researched enough to have an idea about cost. What I have come up with is as follows and interested in if I left anything out

Taxes Not homesteaded .... $2400 yr ? Homesteaded ..... $1200 yr ?
Water & Sewer $ 50 Month
Electric $125 " "
Garbage $ 40 " "
Cable TV $ 50 " "
No phone (cell)
Association Fee's $250 " "
Insurance $ 75 " "
Lawn care $ 50 " "

Also how you would recommend or if you would recommend renting when we are not there.

Thank you again for all the great help you have given us. We just want to make sure we don't have any "surprises" as to unexpected expenses
