And, she can't sell within a year and earn any profit on it - any profit would all go back to the developer.
Shame on them. The father would have never done this to us old timers! I knew they'd get greedy after he died.
Anyone else find these clauses immoral?

We were told of these conditions before we signed on the dotted line. If we didn't like them, we were free to walk away and look elsewhere. Fortunately, we didn't have a problem with any of them and everything went very smoothly. If your daughter has a problem with the terms, then maybe buying new isn't for her. She should, perhaps, look into purchasing a previously owned home, where the terms might be more to her (your?) liking.
