How is this giving it away???...makes it sound like the contest is altruistic, which it obviously is not. The owner gets a minimum of $900,000 minus $25000, more if entrants are more than 6000. The owner still makes money if the contest is cancelled or if the entrants are less than 6000 since they keep $25 dollars of each entrants.

I am guessing that the owner is having a hard time selling it at the price they want and watched few movies with this same premise. I have no issue with the contest and such but wish the owner was more forthright in their intention.

Nope, not more forthright.

The invested $1 million dollars or so has no relevance nor that it comes with furniture, land, and such. It only matters to you and the money that you want returned to you.

Basically what you are doing is selling lottery tickets but thinking of it as "giving it away". Which you aren't since when people think of giving they do not expect the possessor to benefit in a monetary sense. You are simply running a contest, with you and the winner benefitting while many others lose (which I am totally fine with but you guys aren't portraying as such when you say "I am giving it away", you aren't, you are "I am running a contest...").

I also find your "$25 dollars isn't being pocketed because it goes to fees" ludicrous.

Not sure what Trump will do. He is all over the place but seems like he wants educated people who contribute to USA to stay. But just in case I would have a plan B, as in start the process to immigrate to a different country. Immigrating to Australia, New Zealand, Canada are skilled based and can take less than 18 months or so. Create options for yourself.
