Home Buying 101: What are CDD Fees?

That is the most important sentence that's shown up on most any post regarding CDD Bonds.

It is a method to finance infrastructure, that makes the home prices appear to be lower than they really are. Your buying the home and a portion of the land & financing the rest of the land.

Read the post from GoldWingNut and you will understand.

If you would like an unbiased education on Bonds, you should get it from someone who really understand them, like the FMS site.

I think if I'm going to get an education from a nut..... it will be GoldWingNut. I also noticed your link is more than 13 years old.

If I had an opportunity to take a golf lesson from Butch Harmon, rather than some kid on a local driving range, I'd opt for Harmon. You're entitled to your opinion.

Building roads, drainage, water supplies, etc., aren't free.
