With water restrictions becoming more predominate in not only the Resort Attractions Area, Four Corners, and across Florida, it only makes sense to ‘Xeriscape.’
What is this?
Simply put, it’s the use of native drought resistant plants and grasses in yards/gardens so that water restrictions will not have the dramatic harmful effects currently being experienced by many villa owners.
Much of the Four Corners area for example, is just sand, which requires a lot of water to keep the non-native plants and St. Augustine grasses healthy. With water restrictions at one day a week, the potential for the number of hours allowed for watering may be cut back as well. Planning now for the future only makes sense.

Title insurance is the foundation of ownership of property.
It means that an individual has the legal right to possess the property and use it within the restrictions imposed by authorities, or limitations on it’s use. Basically, Title Insurance protects the investment by allowing experts to search the records to guarantee the property is free and clear of a ‘Title Defect’ or past claim.
‘Title Defects’ or past claims are hidden risks that include, but are not limited to forgery and fraud, unpaid taxes, missing heirs, and legal descriptions.
Q: Once a bank takes possession of a foreclosed home, the previous owner is free of all financial obligations.
ANS: False - The Internal Revenue Service can still come back to bite. Former homeowners may still have to pay a tax on a portion of their mortgage loan after a foreclosure because the sale is technically considered income.

As of Monday a couple of new rules have been added to the process.
Lenders must now disclose how much compensation a mortgage broker is receiving if one is being used in the process.
In addition, at the same time, a borrower is to receive a ‘Good Faith Estimate’ disclosing all possible costs involved with a mortgage. These include lender fees, mortgage broker fees, title company fees, and any other third part fees that may be involved.
