This makes no sense for a storyline as JWow already owns her “own” home. Last year before she hooked up with Rodger, she ended her relationship with her other boyfriend. She left Seaside w/Snookie for a day to go to her house in NJ to check on it. They found furniture (her bed), was taken out & they were looking for a disc of naked photographs that JWow had of herself. So, obviously she knows how to write a monthly mtg. check & understands the mtg qualifications & guidelines. Also, they have lawyers & accountants so, they would know how much they could afford to spend. Why buy where they’re filming? It’s definately rented space, as they are only shooting a few episodes until the rating come in. Who would buy a condo for 1.5 million? Oh, yeah we’re talking about two knuckleheads who are surely making alot of money for being ignorant & stupid to the worlk! Damn I shouldn’t be so smart I could be rich too! lol
