That really sounds like a yes. You apparently live somewhere that is extremely expensive, as you seem to be saying you have a 1.5 mil house that can fit 3-5 people. I'm pretty sure I can host 20 if they don't need to sleep here, and definitely 3-5 if they do need to sleep here, and my house was bought for $390k. I'm not in some dump in the middle of nowhere. It's a downtown townhouse with an unobstructed skyline view in the 4th largest metro in the United States. You don't have to buy an event space in one of the world's most expensive places to buy a building. Hell, I'm even in a major transportation hub right in the middle of the country! It would be very easy for people from all over the place to meet here. There has to be some similar part of the UK if they absolutely needed a building in that country.
- jefftk 4y agoSorry, when I said "host" I should have clarified I'm including sleeping. I live in Somerville MA, where $1M will buy you a 3-4br. There are definitely cheaper areas than Somerville or Oxford. For example, https://ceealar.org https://ceealar.org bought a 17br former hotel in Blackpool (Northern England) which cost 1% as much (£140k). [1] My understanding from talking to people in the UK, though, is that for the kind of events they're looking to host proximity to London and Oxford is pretty important, and that's expensive.
