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.
We didn't pay in full at construction start. We gave them about 25%.
and the balance at closing. I think you have misread something.

I did check and you will be our neighbors. I am sorry you missed a wonderful Christmas party for the whole neighborhood this last Saturday.

A lot of nice folks live here! Including a fellow named Hans..ja! Who is also building a Grandview.

Have you NEVER been here? You will be so delightfully surprised.

Kindest wishes,
Gracie and husband and daughter.
