My thoughts also, was told that we wouldn't get documents until we put down deposit! Villages Salesman, I better not name him here.

Also, did not know we had to pay in full at construction start! Was told that The Villages is so big, builds so many houses, that they can do what they want. Will have to try to get mortgage to cover until house built and we move and sell current house. Fortunately rates low, but many banks/brokerages won't lend on unbuilt house. Our current house we had custom made, but got construction loan from same bank that then converted it to mortgage when built and Certificate of Occupancy issued. I had thought we had until house built. We were given until 22 Aug to start, then build time.

Now, my mother-in-law starting to be not able to be left alone, will not move from DE and my wife worried about move to The Villages, was her idea likes activities. I can entertain myself with video, photography, gardening, etc.
