[quote]That was such a poor example to use fella, everyone gets houses built in that exact way you describe lmfao.[/quote] Yes, the dumbasses that have no clue are the ones that put down money before the house is built. Now if you see my reply before; there was a programme on TV here a few years back showing what happens to people who put deposits on houses that have not been built. Developers can do anything they want after they get your deposit. They either go "bankrupt" or change the smallprint in the contract which leaves the home buyer with a worthless home. As in the TV programme, the smallprint was changed from Freehold to Leasehold which meant they home owners did not "own" the home they put money down on, but ended up having to pay rent to the Leaseholder. So I think my analogy was perfect. Never put money down on something that you have not seen demonstrated.
