I did a little research and found that properties like hers were being bought up by Trump and others for a million or more...back in the early 80's.Back then a million dollars was a whole lotta money....back when gas was 50 cents a gallon and a nice house could be bought in most of the nation's suburbs for $50-75K.
I think I would be willing to be bullied by Trump if he offered me 20 times what I paid for something (after adjustment for inflation).
I was thinking along the same lines of the possibilities. Of course, this could have applied to a lot of people. But suppose she had sold for about 2 million, and then moved to California and paid cash for about 20 homes, and then sold them when housing hit its peak!
