Nope,  I didn't forget a couple of zero's after that 1. This real estate agent has listed his condo in Mountain View (Google, Linked In, etc) for a mere one hundred cents. He owes no mortgage, so he can play this game. It's  the "price to entice" strategy!

Oh snap!  Author of Rich Dad Poor Dad Guy Kawasaki files for bankruptcy! How can this be?   The Learning Annex (who gave him a platform to launch his speaking and array of products) won a $24M judgement against Guy who owes them a huge cut of his millions. But the jokes on them! Because he filed bankruptcy for some empty shell of a company to avoid paying them! He did not declare personal bankruptcy. Damn, he smart! No surprise after all  he does follow Hermanity on Twitter &  retweets me!

Priciest Home In San Francisco in Contract--Finally! 

10/13/2012

0 Comments

 
Uh oh! The listing for 2845 Broadway at $38,500,000 was suddenly  ripped from the MLS! Rumor has it the most expensive home in SF ( currently owned by the Sperlings) is actually (and finally!) under contract. 2845 Broadway was purchased for $32Min 2002, remodeling the 17,500 sq ft main home & 6,000 sq ft guest house soared over $20M...and it's not even finished! It  will set back a buyer another $8-16 million to complete the build.


Per SocketSite, "Originally listed for $65,000,000 in 2006, if the sale of 2845 Broadway closes within 14 percent of its most recent list price it will be the most expensive home ever sold in San Francisco, relegating 2840 Broadway to the penultimate position at $33,000,000."


Please send me tips if you know any details about the deal or buyers!!

Simon Woodruffe, Yotel hotels and Yo! Sushi founder, unveiled the prototype for his Yo! Home, an 860-square-foot wonder in which nearly every surface—walls, beds, floors, tables—can fade away at a push of a button. Outfitted with stage-scenery mechanics, the master bedroom can hover above the sunken living room, guest space rolls out from the desk, and the dining table springs up from the floor. (via Curbed)

How Did NBA Star Blow His $110M Salary in 2 Years? Bad Real Estate Deals! 

10/3/2012

0 Comments

 
Via MediaTakeOut: 
NBA superstar Antoine Walker is finally coming clean on how he lost more than $110M . . in just two years. According to a documentary on ESPN, Antoine spent MILLIONS on women and toys - he dated Evelyn Lozada for many years. But Antoine claims that he blew MOST of his money on BAD REAL ESTATE DEALS. 


Here's what he said: 'Personally, I was involved in a lot of real estate projects with the banks where I was the personal guarantor of the loans,' he said. 'And when the recession hit back in 2007 and 2008, the banks went really hard after the money. There's probably like 7 to eight banks that we had loans with. And it kind of hit me all at once. I had to pay back the money.'
