Another LUCKY situation....

One of the owners at my job, wanted a penthouse in Bal Harbour in FL. This goes back about 8 years. At the time they were rarely up for purchase and were pricing out in the low $300K and that was considered alot. He desperatley wanted one and approached a tenant and told him he wanted his apt. The man saud he wasnt selling, so my boss simply said name your price. The guy thought about it and said $450K. My boss paid him cash, all his friends said he was stupid and plenty of other names i cant mention. Anyway this penthouse is currently valued at $1.25 million. If you can even find one for that price!
