If you buy in a the right small boutique project, you don't mind if all the buyers are investors because your competition will be limited when renting or selling.

Personally, I have a boutique investment company.

:) I have been renting a 2 bed 2 bath apartment in a luxury boutique highrise building with amenities galore and lake views in South Loop for 4.5 years.

My second question: At what level of investing are boutique hotels a good idea?

I ran independent boutique brokerage from 2013 - 2022, and I made the decision in November of that year to join eXp Commercial.

When you deal with a Lifestyles Mortgage Company you are dealing with a boutique business.

Classes are expected to begin seating in 2025.The campus will also have a 331,000-square-foot research building, retail, apartments, a hotel and open community spaces.Carson South End:Details: The Crescent/Nuveen development, called Carson South End, will include:Nearly 560,000 square feet of office space10,000 square feet of retailA 200-room luxury boutique hotelMore than 100 apartmentsAn 8,000-square-foot amenity terracePlease do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or if you would like more information on Charlotte (Mecklenburg County) and/or its surrounding counties!

I think going with a smaller boutique family property company could be a good middle ground.

Its a case from Montgomery, MN from the late 1960’s and once you read the case, i believe, that like myself you’ll no longer wonder why its not discussed in law school, let alone your local boutique RE schools.

Also agree with @James Wise that it will get rid of the dead weight (we started doing that at our boutique brokerage anyway this year).
