It is definitely a stigmatized property.
I wonder how much more it would sell for without the "Trump" name attached.
:P

And in some cases, a famous name attached could make it sell for more.

I'm saving $100/month to buy it. I have $200 so far, so it will probably be a while before I buy it.

Charlie, I will start saving $100 a month also. Maybe we can buy a room at a time. My first room would be the workout room, I like the "H" on the floor, it matches my last name. Maybe we all buy a room and it's a done deal. Darn those real estate taxes though.

:P It is an absolutely beautiful property, at least from what we saw from the water. Why would previous ownership stigmatize the value?

Seems kind of obvious...

I personally think the décor is hideous and I wouldn't be interested in the place because of that, if nothing else. Regardless, will end this one here before it goes places it shouldn't.
