Maybe because the asking price is well over 6.5 million. I know there are people with that kind of money but let’s face it – I still think the pool of potential buyers is not that great. I’m sure your statement is rhetorical. When I first saw this one, I thought of an embassy as the potential buyer. For all you get, it might be worth it at that price, but less so for a single family as owner. Honestly, though, it’s harder to wrap my head around this one as a rental because I can’t imagine anyone in their “right”mind who would spend 35K/mo for a place they don’t call their own. Yes, even with all you would get. It was obvious that that rent was about the mortgage (as opposed to some random rental price) but when a property isn’t selling right away, I know that the tendency is to try to rent it to help defray the monthly costs. In this case, it seems ridiculous, because it seems less rentable than sellable.
