15. The documentary which I posted.

Some "real estate agent" was so ecstatic to sell such a property. Who knows who owned it originally, I am open to a foreigner owning it, but it was the most eye opening part of that documentary to me. At one point she admitted selling one property with a pithy commission, and I lamented how she got taken (she basically sold a property under 1% when US agents get at least, minimum, 3%, but more likely 5%).

I appreciate that you haven't written me off completely.
