    Seems like a huge house and they got a damn good deal on it!
  • lhslep134
    Good negotiating, from 1.8 down to 1.45 mil
  • Midstate01
    And originally marketed at 2.8
  • Big Gain
    I've hit bad shots into or near yards on Muirfield, but not that one.
  • believer
    On the market originally at 2.8 million and Meyers snags it for 1.45 million? Not bad.

    So does the 1.35 million difference constitute capital gains? If so, Urban needs to pay more of his fair share. Rich bastard. ;)

    What gain did he make? He bought the home.

    Another slow news day in Central OH. I can't wait to hear where Mrs. Meyer does her grocery shopping.

    Mrs. Meyer will never see the inside of the place, she ain't leavin' FL but Urbie's former GF in the SID office at UF might live in the West Wing.

    Is Urbie's former GF hot? May need pic's also.

    How much is the rent for the house that the "insiders" insist he bought in UA? I might be interested.

    He actually did buy rentals in UA. :laugh:
  • LJ
    the interior and backyard are much better than the ugly front of the house

    Those who claimed that he bought a residence there were flat wrong. I wonder if any of them will have the integrity to just say so, or will they try to parse words.

    Couple points.

    He didn't get some super great deal. The $2.8 and $1.8 list prices are irrelevant. Remember the market we are currently in. I also question that square footage. I bet the realtor came up with that figure.

    pretty sure it was LJ that claimed that.
  • Steel Valley Football
    And based on LJ's link it's much smaller. The auditor GLA is also 9351. The realtor likely included the finished basement.

    Damn, I used to live right by there. Nice gated part of Muirfield that (as of 12 years ago) you could just drive up to and drive around to gawk at the houses.

    Yeah, I talked to over a dozen people who claimed to be friends with the realtor who sold Meyer his house in UA. I knew he was getting hired before most as my source was about as high up as you can get at OSU. I posted that a while back and was met with all sorts of KIA bullshit.

    Never claimed he bought a house to live in himself. I've always known what he bought in UA was rental property as an investment. There are a few small companies going in and buying up smaller houses in parts of UA and renting them out while holding them with the hopes of selling them later for more $$ to people who want to tear them down and build new due to UA being landlocked. A small partnership that Urban is part of bought some of these properties. A good friend of mine had to speak with them multiple times about some zoning issues and concerns.

    Don't recall, also don't recall there being only one such person making such claims. Bottom line, they were mistaken at best, making shit up at worst.

    I lol'd at that too.
  • Steel Valley Football
    Also LJ is so full of shit. Blah blah blah is what I got out of that last post.

    Meant as a political shot at the current administration, I believe.
