I wanted to end this thread, enough already. But I keep getting OMG revelations. I wanted to share one last post with you all. I've had free time to surf and I'm surprised I hadn't seen the IRA vs The Villages issue before. I assume most of you are familiar. Reading how the Developer mishandled your money and lined his pockets for hundreds of millions (tax-free) really shocks me. Given what I've been through I really shouldn't be surprised.
The POA site mentions the issue and says that residence don't get a vote. That was an Ah-ha moment. The purchase agreement spells out specifically that it's an "Amenity fee" and there's no Home Owners Association. With an HOA, residence would have a say.
Oh well, we're leaving tomorrow and I'll leave on a positive note. I got a call tonight from our sales rep. We can pick up a credit receipt in the morning. The $2500 deposit refund has already been processed. So, we'll head home and enjoy the holidays. Then we'll think about where we go from here.
Happy Holidays and best wishes to all here.
