2010, same sheet, but obviously different, amounts.

2012, different VLS person, because ours got bumped up to management, not a fan, but did answer questions on bond, but had to press harder for interest.

We choose to find a different VLS agent for third, house, who was very up front on balance of bond, maintenance fees, taxes and all things, even though we had experience owning houses for 4 years.

Even on this site many threads have mentioned maintenance fees, fire, schools, bonds, and %.

The thread is about the excessive increase in maintenance. I should not have mentioned the costs associated with buying.
