Please help.
If you notice something is not to your liking from the get go, it probably is not going to get better. Follow your gut and look for homes that meet your needs. New homes are nice but they STILL require expensive upgrades. (landscaping, paint, lanai etc) Why not look at older homes? Some are only six or seven yrs old and are located near plenty of commercial and golf courses. Try looking in the Brownwood area. You may find a home with completed landscaping, large lanai, and low bond. If the home needs a little TLC remember you would have paid for upgrades in a new home. Consider it a wash and be happy the home you chose meets ALL of your needs.
