@Jacob W. land market in FL is highly competitive.

The offering would be at 490 units at $1000 unit which allows 49% to be sold to have the preceding benefits to remain in place.

also we do not know what is going to happen with int rates, they are very high now, the economy is not good and it is not certain they will be coming down this year. we know there will be more responsible gov spending, so maybe rates will come down, no way to know...I think you need to know the market where you plan to buy well, and go from thereBest of luck
