She also told us that we could be dropped at anytime. I talked to the Florida Board of Insurance and was advised that I should walk away from the contract. Evidently The Villages does not report the sink holes to the State. The person I spoke with said that many people have bought property before they checked on insurance. We really want to move here but now we are having second thoughts. Needless to say, we walked away from the contract. Still looking!

I don't understand the part above highlighted. Could you explain?
