thanks Lucinda. Specifically, I have read a slew of articles about Lennar's bankruptcies and book keeeping issues from around the country.

and engle's parent company filing chapter 11.

Given all this I am worried if I buy in Layton Lakes and either or both pull out and I am in a half built community.

I aunderstand Lennar is a higher quality builder! I have a complete list of what is available!

I would reccommend to hire a inspector on every property even a new build! A walk through isn't enough!

Feel free to contact me for any other questions or guidance with homes avaialble.

Actually, it appears that the Department of Real Estate has disabled the link displaying the homebuilders that are in trouble.
