I'll say one thing - you're not doing your business any favors here by continuing the arbitration push. You have several vocal and determined customers that are unhappy with your service, and you appear to be throwing logs in their path to some kind of full/partial refund. Arbitration is either going to refuse them a refund on some technical issue in what they've signed or agreed to, or give them a partial or full refund. Why not just skip straight to the chase and do that yourself? $3400 is chicken feed in the grand scheme of things, especially for legitimate, operating businesses. I've known lots of businesses that paid people more than that just to go away happy. 

Zachary, and others, this is defamatory and actionable. Zachary, your response said " not sue intimidation tactics instead of resolving complaints" ... This is bizarre. We've been asking you to resolve issues, through the method you agreed to use, when you signed an agreement with us. You refuse to, but now you contradict yourself when you claim we dont want to "resolve complaints" .... We would be glad to address and resolve any issue through Arbitration through the American Arbitration Association. Why would you refuse to follow the required alternative dispute resolution process as required in the contract you signed? Just like this website most likely has terms of service, every other site has these terms. Your refusal to Arbitrate the matter, even though you contractually agreed to do so renders your position not credible and frivolous. If individuals are allowed to circumvent business agreements, what would be the need for contracts? Zachary - All of you have refused time and time again to cooperate with ADR. Are you willing to arbitrate the matter and resolve any issues (as required via agreement) through the American Arbitration Association? And if not, why not? You agreed to do that in the past. If you're not willing to go before a mediator/arbitrator, the next question is why do you refuse to take the matter before legal arbitration? You wish to circumvent that required step, which is not a fair way to do business.

thanks for getting back to me.  i have ave credit but not a down payment.  i am looking for a lender that looks at what the property is worth more than the downpayment amount.  

I've seen as high as 2200$ to 2300$ HOA a month. I have no idea how that will hold up. Not like super high end either in the 300-500k condo...

The issue with RV lots right now is people are asking more for one that you can get a townhouse or condo for. With HOA's around 1000-1200 a quarter and they don't even mow any grass on your lot or anything so it seems odd. I've looked at the ones in Gulf Waters down in fort myers they seem nice but not worth the cost in my opinion. Yes tons this way in my neck of the woods you can buy the lot and own it, and either rent it or live on it.

There is no universal answer on appreciation vs age. Home values go up with inflation plus any extra demand for an area. 

The importance is square footage is often underestimated. 

That brings you to cost per square foot as a metric - sometimes buying a larger home in a A+ area and remodeling it completely is a very good way to force appreciation.

It's wild how much inventory has spiked in Florida—definitely shifts the power toward buyers. I mean, a 7% mortgage rate might sound steep compared to the lows we just saw, but if you really dig into history, rates were north of 18% back in the early '80s. So while today's environment feels tough, it's actually not as crazy as it might seem in a broader context.

That said, the sheer volume of homes on the market is really pushing sellers to negotiate hard, which could mean some great deals for those who know how to play it. Personally, I think this is a golden moment for buyers to re-evaluate what they're willing to pay, while sellers might need to adjust their expectations.

I'm curious—how are you all factoring this historical perspective into your current strategies?
