    A/C issue

    Hi, What's the connection to equalized utilities? - that's a totally different question beyond the scope of this forum. Are you paying property tax annually? Of course we pay it monthly. What would be your fee if you switched to monthly? Thanks

    Property Insurance

    Hi, The following example, really 'Interest rates 101', should help you understand why: Say you can pay 1.2 Million now Or 100K per month for 12 months with only 0.1% fee (=0.1% x 1.2 Million = $1,200) Do you really prefer paying 1.2 Million lump sum in order to avoid $1,200 fee!? How about...

    Property Insurance
