“...On January 31, 2020, the Alberts scraped together $560,000 in cash...”

I noticed that as well. Who can scrape up that kind of money, Where did they find it? Under the cushions on the couch.

I often find $100,000 stuck under the table in McDonald’s. Get lucky a few times and you can buy a house in California...but you can never move in.

Maybe they got Jeff Bezos’ used sofa? Might be that kind of change in the cushions

I agree, it’s a decent chunk of change. But they live in a different world out there and if their timing was good on real estate prior to this house*, it’s very easy to see then having the case.

*AND they’re one of the 2 or 3 people in California who didn’t ‘extract equity’ from their gains by taking out second mortgages.
