It took a while to build the billion dollar campus.

Then you have guys like Uncle G (Grant Cardone) who want 7 billion people to know their name.

the other thing if its  a owner occ type loan there could be mortgage insurance.. and most banks sell their owner occ loans anyway.. now if your doing what @Levi T. talked about and going after commercial assets.. this was possible years back.my personal banker was in charge of their OREO and I got the list every week.. and bought a few subdivisioins from them they took back .. but this is small commercial bank where I knew the owners of the bank personally IE president and head credit officer.. and my banker is in charge of all the loan officers... and has banked me 24 years.. so yes its who you know.bigger multi billion dollar banks doing owner occ you can pretty much foregeta bout buying those in todays market.they want as stated to establish if they get a mortgage insurance claim and or they want to maximize profits.. there is simply not as much hangover inventory.. and or they will then sell off notes.. 

There are 6 billion "it depends" scenarios and only a portion of them depend on financing. 

We are in changing times, technological, medical, economical and mailer count metric might make LESS sense with the accessibility of one-click mailing websites, photoshop, etc.When the other 7+ BILLION people in the world decide that America (with a mere 300+ million) isn't a good place to live, places where immigration is high (CA, TX) should start to worry. 

They have millions or billions to spend...and don't worry about repairs at this point.

As we know housing doesn't paid for more garage space, with the proposed cut around $9.5 billion in 2018, my rent is not getting SAFMR (small area fare market rent) if I include 3 car garage.
