Marketing is not something magic.If I want pink flying elephants to respond to my ads,  you can rest asured I will not be succesful, no matter what marketing methods I use.Lux mansions, and properties with high price tags are simply hard to find clients for because theere is a relativaly small group of buyers for these properties.Please understand it is not just "location", and the characteristics of the house.If an AMZING house close to the highway, and the house is just fabulous,  has all the bells and whistles attached but it is in Bridgeport (a crappy city in CT).. no matter how amazing the house is,  the area doesn't justify the price tag.Not only that you need to take account for but something else too.Ask yourself, if anyone has that 3M to spend,  they have options.

You have little or no control over whether they hoard cash and let the community fall apart, hire the HOA president's brother to paint the buildings pink, raise the HOA fees to the point where you are cash flow negative,  lower the HOA fees to the point where the HOA goes broke, or fail to treat a termite infestation or cut the grass.2.
