20% down is 7 million.

4% of closing costs is 1.4 million.  In normal times I'd want the seller to eat the closing costs but it seems like if you try that now they just refuse your offer. My neighbor calls that a "practice contract".

So after 8.4 million at closing we're looking at a payment of around $167,680 a month. Maybe we can chip in together. I'm gonna be a little short on my money, so I volunteer to take the smaller bedroom. I have a really great credit score, though. And here is the listing:
