Something is odd about it. These people put up a million bucks in cash for the home, then financed the 180k plus another 28k from another private party. Now even if they get full price they are not gonna walk away with much at all after closing costs and commissions.
Why put up a million bucks in cash to make 30k?
Flippers, even the idiots don’t do that. People who purchased a home and then had something bad happen do though.
