But don’t expect that in The Villages, you will own nothing but the bond and your monthly fee will eventually sky rocket once the development is built out. I believe it’s being keep low now so sales will continue. Just look at the size of the development and the future costs to maintain it along with the fact that all the amenities are sold to private investors.
Your amenity fees go up annually by the CPI. Unless the CPI "'sky rockets" your fees will only go up by the CPI. Last year my amenity fee went down because the CPI went down.

Please read and understand the facts before you make unqualified statements.
