inspector showed up 1 day & got red tagged, with a stop order, for no permit (my fault). we applied for the permit & 2 days later, i called the inspector to apologize & when would the permit be ready as my renters want to move in march 2nd but i said i can't until everything passes. he said it was fine, he spoke to my licensed electrician, & signed off for the permit. i asked if i could pick it up. he asked for my ph# & said he'd call me back.i then called the village clerk to ask about the status. she said, "it's here. come pay for it & pick it up."

with the way the government is going bankrupt, rest assured, the property taxes will be going up % wise in the future.I can't do 10% for taxes/insurance in my state. too many crooked politicians & villages not living within their means.

It really depends on the local area of Worcester you're looking at - WPI/Elm vs Greendale vs Main South vs Quinsig village areas.

@Michael Anspach I am getting started in Halesite / Huntington Village area.  

My grandfather lives in one called "The Villages" in Lady Lake, FL.

:idea: As a country, we are toast if this guy is the guiding force in young minds.The "it takes a village" mentality is horse hockey

This country was founded because a bunch of elites in England (feel free to insert Washington D.C. for modern day purposes) decided to over tax, over regulate, take away representation and not because "it took a village."

PM- I worked for the Intrawest Development for 5 years and help build the Village at Snowshoe, bought property in the first building in the Village, developed my own units there, and still own property there.

Rents are typically higher around here but on the flip side, the taxes and competition seem to be very high as well, specifically in the cities close to the lake (Lakewood, Rocky River, Bay Village, Westlake).

For those of us who may prefer an adult beverage while we talk RE, I checked our Sam's Boat in Silverlake Village yesterday afternoon at around 2pm and they have nice covered deck area where we can chat.
