Do unincorporated areas have lower taxes?

I'm looking in an area with a mix of unincorporated and incorporated properties. Literally on the same street there's a mix. I'm wondering if unincorporated has lower taxes and that's a benefit? Or is it better to pay more and be incorporated. Does it even matter? They all feed into the same school. What would the difference be between incorporated and unincorporated property.

Canceling A real estate investment company?

I'm trying to get a real estate investment company canceled. They haven't done any work to try to sell the home or spent any money on listing. It alls I have is an agreement on purchase price and a 90-day agreement. I do not want to work with this company. They were not honest and what they were telling me over the phone. They pressured me in signing an agreement to list my home and found out things in the agreement were not as they claim. I have reached out to them several times to terminate with them and they will not respond. Can I terminate them after the 90 days business days are up? I am not interested in working with this company and I will not be forced to work with them and I am not selling them my home. I just don't know where to turn from here.

Can a house sale fall through at closing?

The home seller has been very skittish throughout the selling process. We've had to jump through a lot of hoops just to keep the process moving because we really want this house. We're days away from closing and we're wondering if the seller can back out AT the closing? Even if we're half way though signing the paperwork and they back out, is that an option?
