So if this guy wants to auction off his house by selling raffle tickets so be it and let it be written in the Real Estate Hall of Fame. What this house really needs is a herd of goats milling around in the yard so the new owner doesnt have to be out the cost of a lawn mower. Also the cost of gasoline should be considered since there will not be anymore autos manufactured once Obama runs through everybodys savings accounts. Back on the subject...Buy Goats...Not Homes. They were here before the Messiah or his congressional stimulous scams. O.K.

But I like the idea. Just remember, there is always hidden fees so the best deal isn't always the best deal so just keep it in mind! The Arizona area is one of the hardest hit markets in the US so it's not surprising people are turning to interesting tactics. Let's see what comes next, I like it!!

I believe when you "raffle" or "giveaway" a large value item you need to check the state and federal laws on disclosure and notices. Maybe this value is not large enough? Ever wonder why they always say, "no purchase necessary to win"? Also I believe many states have a filing process for "giveaways" to make sure the taxes are being collected and the sale is not concidered "gambling". I'd get an attorney if I was the winner or seller... Everyone has good points here online...keep it up... Creative marketing idea.
