Buy pre-owned in older sections

The bond amount for a typical single family house in Cypress Reserve is estimated to be $87,408.62, and the annual bond payment to be $8,348.69, to include principal, interest, and the admin fee. As to how many people can afford it, I assume that a lot of people will be able to afford it.

Another reason to look at pre-owned homes in almost any "older" section that had a lower bond in the first place and may be paid off or at least paid down. Additionally, previous owner(s) will probably have made some desirable upgrades.
We bought in Bonita but did not pay off the bond thinking that we would relocate within TV and have yet another bond which did happen. We just figure the bond payment as a monthly increase to the mortgage payment which it actually is.

No wonder Villages sales agents tend to push people down there first before showing them existing homes.... there are so many existing homes for sale in the developed areas as well as more shopping, restaurants, activities, entertainment, better landscaping, etc. It's a no brainer in my opinion to buy north of 44

Different buyers, different opinions, all equally valid.

Am I correct in this figure?
How many people can afford this?

Dang. I got excited when I read the title at first!

In my assessment, Sean Connery was the best, followed by Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan. I never got into Daniel Craig. Just MY assessment though. :rolleyes:
