4) What is the frequency in TV does sink holes happen?
5) Anything I missed?

There is a huge article answering most of your questions in the POA (property owner's association)
Property Owners, Association of Florida bulletin which is put in everyone's driveway yesterday. Very informative.
If you can get sinkhole insurance from your carrier, it is wise to buy it. Yes there are quite a few sinkholes in Florida because of the limestone. From my last inquiry I've heard that The Villages Insurance is offering sinkhole insurance for new builds. You may be able to get it from others if you pay for an inspection, but it is difficult to obtain. Do some research on Catastrophic Ground Collapse. Insurance companies here include it in their homeowner's policies.
