If you're going to have that much money and live on the water...why not live on an actual body of water...not whatever that pussy ass pond is

judging by the range of addresses (7080-7540) and the fact that you can see multiple rooflines I'm going to guess it's an apartment complex or townhomes.

Not so sure about the above ideas. Check out the street view.

It looks like a faux plantation.

This place was owned by some man who built trailers (the single and double wide types) but I believe the company went under and the house was foreclosed. Nobody lives there now but the grounds are kept up.

It is the perfect example of some poor trashy person who got a ton of money and built an incredibly gaudy house.


Edit: It is a single house, not apartments...place is HUGE.

mobile housing crisis

Quote :

"Defendants engaged in a variety of fraudulent practices that allowed Parker to siphon off cash from the company and inflate TPHS’s value. TPHS purchased its mobile homes directly from manufacturers, and each purchase was fully financed by a "floor plan lender." The floor plan lender remitted the full invoice price directly to the manufacturer in exchange for a security interest in the home, periodic interest payments, and a promise by TPHS to repay the purchase price when the house was sold. TPHS, however, had secret arrangements with the manufacturers whereby the manufacturers gave TPHS cash rebates and kickbacks but did not lower their invoice prices to cover the rebates. Because it obtained financing through floor plan lenders, TPHS did not need to have cash up front to purchase new homes. Because the manufacturers gave TPHS the cash rebates immediately, TPHS thus was able to increase its cash on hand by purchasing inventory. TPHS recorded the rebates and kickbacks as income upon receipt, but did not offset its liability to the floor plan lenders, thereby creating a false impression of profitability. Parker also siphoned off cash from TPHS through affiliated businesses and through self-dealing. To keep sales going, TPHS instructed its sales personnel to engage in the practice of "short down payments." According to this practice, TPHS would issue checks to customers for worthless trade-in homes. The customers would cash the checks from TPHS and use the cash to obtain a bank check. The customers then would give the bank check to TPHS as a phony cash down payment, which would allow the customer to qualify for a mortgage. Ultimately, however, sales could not keep pace with the purchase of homes from the manufacturers, and the company would not be able to sustain itself under the burden of massive loans by floor plan lenders."
