The bonds can also be upward to 30,000 or more depending on the size of the house. Also, gets extremely hot and humid here in the summer, so a north facing lanai is best. .Watch out for Coleman Prison, not far from your area. Sign up for the Nextdoor app. lots of information of there. Also, check out the Daily Sun, there are many, many houses already for sale in the southern areas. You have got to ask yourself.....why?
Watch out for the prison????? Watch out for what? No noise, no lights, what are we watching for?

New houses go up for sale after one year because there is money to be made. Period. The exact thing that happened in Richmond after one year. Lots of profit.
