It's like Ludlum, Grisham and Gibson collaborated on a good novel.http://www.dunwalke.com/The amount of detail in this story is so great that it took me a couple of days and re-reads to fully digest what was being laid out.

The taxes due appear to be $2,137.08, if paid this month.If you mean the legal description confuses you, this is just the legal description of this tract.

As the real estate market boomed the last couple of years, the locations for some housing developments started to become really whacky; out in the middle of nowhere, down one lane roads, and with the barest of infrastructures, housing tracts sprung up like mushrooms after a rain storm.

Personally, I don't buy that a shift from mass exodus to steady population decline (which has happened before and could very well be simple digesting) is a sign of recovery.

As low as 3.5% on FHA, or perhaps 5% on conventional depending on the area/census tract....but 5% is very common for most buyers in your shoes. 

Around here the low end burbs (cheap tract housing and marginal schools) have become the urban core of old.

I think @Dawn Brenengen is on the right tract.  

If you're the type who designs your apartment with an eye to seeing it in Architectural Digest, you won't mind spending money to make sure the lobby has a similar look of affluence.You may not like the idea of borrowing money.

Sounds doable after I digest that.

I am exciting to digest and learn as much as I can!
