Re: Fancy being Lord of the Manor?
Actually, that looks pretty cheap for all that's included....
That's what, about 2.5 million dollars? There are plenty of houses on half acre lots in San Francisco that go for that or more....

Would it be possible to parcel it out and sell it piecemeal?
Can the tenants be evicted or offered an option to purchase?
Are the current rents locked in?
This might be worth considering.
