Sorry, but most of my comment wasn't intended for you. When someone like you poses a serious question about the bond or tax or closing costs you'll notice that others jump in and fan the flames. Most of the time they are brand new users with 1 or 2 posts who's only intent (without being explicit) is to steer you to some other real estate development. Maybe I've been jaded since I've been on here for 3 years and see the same thing time after time. I have no problem when someone is upfront about their intentions or affiliations but I'll bet TOTV has had hundreds of members who's job it is to get you thinking something else. It is called viral marketing and sometimes it works with all the social media prevalent today.

If I was being judgmental please understand that I'm just voicing my frustration since I don't want legitimate TOTV members to be persuaded by false information. So I try to point that out when necessary. The frustration was just voiced on this page. I must have read 4 different threads yesterday that had a lot of these type of questions.

note: I edited my first response since that was not my intent.
