It's a typical modern home, massive mega-mansion, with almost no yard.

I figure there are three options: (1) get an agreement from him, get it inspected, buy it for cash - that would be ultra-fast and get him out of trouble - only of course I don't have $180K lying around (2) help him get paid up for all his debts in exchange for him selling the house to me, and then I get traditional financing - what are the exact steps here, though?

the girl wants to lose the roommates though. we probably gross about $5200/mo together.i was considering losing the roommates and downgrading to a 55K condo (900 sqft), but i think the double closing costs to get there washes the deal.but being able to invest the 11K each we would have left over after the switch certainly peaks my interest. . .i would suggest to you to buy what i would in your situation: the least amount that makes you happy, no marble mansions necessary.

Certain segments of the population place an extremely high value on it and will do what it takes to get into a home in a school zone with ultra high scores.

But, our median price range is $250k-300 and we have a strong luxury home market as well.Hopefully that gives you guys a better picture of what is going on in my neck of the woods.

Hi, I have come upon a 4 plex for $ 335,000 that is new and though not luxurious in any way, does have a pool and clubhouse.

They are sort of fancy hotel condos with a few luxury resort amenities that vacationers and retirees want.

The properties are going for around 90 cents/sq foot, which I'm told is a steal.Well, it looks like I can finally afford that 10,000 sq ft mansion!!!

Is there any luxury communities, Restaurants, Shopping?

You may not have that luxury with Wachovia.
