The housing market may be suffering right now but, one woman is using a creative twist to sell her home. She is planning to raffle off her condominium to a lucky winner. Angela Schaab is selling raffle tickets for a chance to own her condo in the Boardwalk complex in Grand Rapids.
She loved the condo, but moved out of state for job related reasons. So now she wants someone else to be able to enjoy it. Schaab explains, "With Michigan's job market and rate of foreclosures, I thought it would be a great way for someone to get into either a first home or to acquire a rental property."
Schaab plans to sell 2,500 raffle tickets for $100 each. Right now she is just taking reservations for the tickets. Once they have all been sold, she'll hold a live drawing. Whoever wins will own the condo free and clear.
Schaab is also planning to give at least ten percent of her profits to charity. You can take a look at pictures of the condo at http://sites.google.com/site/rafflemyboardwalkcondo/. This story has generated so much traffic that this website is often un-available.
