I don't think you understood what I wrote!
And I'll leave up to you to report people.

Almost every Patio Villa has a series of white crosses in front of it.
Only it's called a picket fence!

If people just followed the rules, there wouldn't be any complaining about anyone complaining.

But then what would we do? Oh, cards, billiards, tennis, golf, pickleball, shuffleboard, swim and 2459 other things that we can do in TV.

Rules? We don't need no stinkin' rules.

I'm kind of looking at the first picture. I see a few good ideas.
Hope my fellow Villagers will be okay with the beauty in my yard.

Everyone should have a painted giant cow. Excellent reuse of toilets as well.

Come on people,they are trying to make improvements to make it better looking. Cut us all some slack and get a hobby and stop all the complaining.

Until homeowners read and understand the Deed restrictions, there will be no complaints. Ignorance is no excuse to break the rules.

My wife and I were discussing this yesterday. It seems to me that the realtor and prior owner might be liable for failure to disclose a change made to the property. I'm no attorney though. Anyone have an opinion?

I asked the question to a local lawyer during the free consultation before you hire the attorney and found out that nothing survives closing of title. It was so nice to close for next to nothing as we are in the habit of paying big bucks for NJ closings. I had my NJ lawyer look at our contract and he said it looked good as it did to me so I went ahead and closed at the Title Company.

I will never ever do it again because paying for a lawyer, a good one helps me sleep. I did kick the subject around on TOTV and the stature of people who went through many closing lawyerless was staggering. Never again for us. Lawyer, Survey, no skimping.

What happened to these people is terrible. The repair job on the person with the driveway problem is perfect but unnecessary.

We bought a new home. On the advice of our TV agent we did not purchase Title Insurance. However, we did have a survey done. So far, after 5 years of ownership, and 4 trips to the ARC, all has gone very well.

I have purchased 9 homes in my life (this is the last) and while I only used an attorney once (didn't really need her as it turned out)...I personally would never think of not getting title insurance.

Recognizing of course, that on 5 of those it was required... because there was a mortgage.

I have a pretty high comfort level on most things...but not quite that high when it comes to this.

Good for you though, that it hasn't been necessary.


Here's a good 'Pro Vs. Con' on doing it.

My daughter has been a mortgage banker for 30 years. Her advise to us was , title insurance is expensive and rarely needed but when on occasion you need it...you really, really need it. Why take a chance?
