Default Things i wish i knew to ask.

Here are some things that I wish i knew to ask:
1. How do different elevations affect floor plans in specific models? When I was buying my Gardenia I didn't know that and as a result i have a smaller den than I would have liked.
2.How are real estate taxes affected by occupancy certificate? We received an certificate of occupancy before everything was finished and so we had to pay a full year's real estate taxes instead of a partial first year. If you are having a house built find out what the most appropriate date is to start construction. You probably want settlement to occur in early February rather than in January to save on real estate taxes in the first year.

I hope that you find this helpful. All in all although we could have done some things differently, we love our house and The VILLAGES and you will too!
