Sounds like a deal custom made for Ramah, with his big Saudi money. He oughta be able to pay cash on the barrelhead, ya reckon?

Would probably be a sideways move for him, although I'm sure he could use his powers of hypnosis to get the price down...

Again, I just can't believe it.

My wife (then she was my girlfriend) used to nanny for the family that previously owned the house. When they moved the house was on the market for about a year and was appraise at that $3.25 million. The previous owner is an LSU grade and big time contributor to LSU.

That is what I know firsthand. The details of the deal came from a source at the time that runs in that cirlcle of BR(the rich circle). So this portion is from 2nd hand and I believe them to be accurate, especially after seeing the article and what Nick paid for the home and what it is listing for, which is the same appraisal value that I knew the property was worth in 1998-1999.

The deal was that the previous owner would sell Nick the house at a highly reduced price as a token or a deal for LSU. If and when the house was sold by Nick the original owners would recieve the difference of their asking price and what they sold it to Nick for. So basically we will sell it to you at 40% below our asking price but when you sell it you give us that 40% back or whatever you get for the house above what we sold it to for.

That house is a sweet house and so is the guest house. The property is unbelievable. It goes from Highland back to Burbank, has a pond, powered Gazebo with a kitchen, pool, full of trees and the property has a very nice and beautiful slope from the back of the house to Burbank.

The inside of the house is what you would find in your home decorating mags or TV shows, immaculate and amazing.

I don't get it. I will never get it.

Why? oh Why? would you give up such a sweet gig at LSU to be a rookie HC for a NFL team in a big city? Why would you want your 13 year old daughter to go to high school in a moral dump like Mi-jammy when you could raise your teen daughter in a clean and safe community like BR?

I just don't get it.

This is way more plausible than the thought that in 4 years, the home had essentially doubled in value...Real estate may-in the BEST of times in the BEST of markets in the BEST of locations-increase about 5-7%/year from its initial appraised value...That'd put it at still only somewhere in the low 2 million dollar range...No one would overpay one million dollars when they had that kind of money to spend...

This post seems way more logical as far as an explanation goes...Because 1.725-3+ million in 4 years ain't happening, not even on the Left Coast...

The pictures good but the caption is lame.

TigerEd,
you can believe it. It's the truth. I know what the house was on the market for before Saban bought it, I knew what it appraised for (first hand), and I'm 90% certain that is what took place when Saban bought it. You know how word travels in the BR Country Club rich society on stuff that is high profile such as a coach and a major player in the BR high society and LSU. So trust me, this is what happened.

A lot of houses up and down the south side of Highland have this feature, it's a fault line. :hihi:
