@Cody Bain, You just gotta run the numbers to see if it makes sense.

If the numbers still make sense.

Thanks that makes a lot of sense.

It kinda makes sense because the monthly mortgage would be way cheaper.

No sense in arguing. 

I have reason to believe that ours was the best offer - traded as a portfolio in the end…It sure seems that vast majority of assets are trading as portfolios now days, which makes sense.

Makes no sense.
