Home buyers wait years, but lots are still empty
Minh-H-Nguyen and her husband, Ha Ngoc Nguyen, took out a loan for a down payment on a “dream home” in Lake County two years ago after being dazzled by pictures of a sprawling house with a screened pool.
“The dream has not come true,” said Minh-H-Nguyen, 38, frowning.
Like hundreds of others, the Ocoee couple haven’t seen their home built. At least 10 of them have filed lawsuits against developer Platinum Properties of Central Florida, which took the Nguyens’ $35,190 deposit but has not delivered on their $351,000 home in Millbrook Manor.
