I did the math (well, fucked around for 10 minutes in MS Excel) and the only explanation is that he got one of those low down payment/high interest rate/long repayment period FHA loans. I believe you can do 3% down on a 20 or 30 year mortgage under that program.
He most probably got a shit deal when he got the CT khando, and likely because of how he obtained it.
Another small power-leveling thing, but when I was 'around' last year, I chatted a bit in LSB's Discord and tried to explain a few things about Phil since I knew him. It even came up on a small pseudo-interview I did on one of TXT's streams.
I heard through a mutual friend (I was pretty solid with the guy in question and he was closer to Phil than I was) that he bought the condo from a co-worker, but that he was also trying to get in said co-worker's pants. Now there's definitely reason to be skeptical of that information, but the way it came out was completely unprovoked, the guy had no ill-will towards Phil I was aware of, or anything that would entice him to lie about something I wasn't curious about. He just said it.
Rightly so, a lot of people who heard me say this were skeptical because it's absolutely unverified, but a few months later Phil told a story during one of his streams about how he bought the place from a co-worker, and how they used to car pool together for some kind of training or certification or night classes or some shit like that. There was some kind of falling out (either that couple's relationship, when Phil tried to move in, or him trying to move in on her caused them to stop talking to him). I was still around in the Discords at the time, and people realized I wasn't bullshitting about it. It also gave me a bit more confidence in the story I had heard.
So I wouldn't be surprised if the couple he bought it off of realized it was a shit deal and took advantage of him to get rid of it, and he never tried to renegotiate their contract. Or he bought it from them and negotiated a shit contract because he had some expectation that he would get rid of it soon or some other shit. I don't know nor care.
Just a tidbit that some may have forgotten about or been unaware of.
