I think Strawberry Mansion has so much better scale for still room to grow neighborhoods there.

Go back to your mansion with your 7-car garage and focus on your biz.

In that stretch of ocher and asphalt there are multimillion-dollar mansions and also some of the city’s most affordable rental apartments.

Once mortgage is denied seller is left high and dry, 30 days and sometimes 6 months into the contract (sometimes even longer, in cases where seller is a builder who built the whole $700K mansion for you, in firm belief that your bank will come through and finance the entire purchase at the end).

Here, investors seek mansions on large, exclusive properties with direct access to private beaches.

This is a personal preference thing, based on an extensive amount of people I've encountered in my life, to 99% of the people out there, pay off the mortgage is the way to go if they can. 99% of the people in the world would be beyond content with financial freedom: meaning, in general purchase whatever you want (minus mega mansion and private jets), go wherever you want to go, send your kids to whatever school they want to go, and last a life time.

The were clearly mansions at time of construct, and now converted small multi's all sec8. 

We partner with individuals who want to start their own Assisted Living Mansion.

@Jason Guenther Not sure of what is available in your market, but I downsized from a large Victorian mansion to a duplex 5 years ago.

When I started out I had a small mansion on the beach that had a 4/2 main house and a 2/1 casita.
