It doesn't solely have to be a financial decision.I personally love living in a luxury apartment, and I don't care that I'm paying more for it than I would a mortgage.

Naturally it depends on kind of actual project from just better house to luxury unique house if this is acceptable for this location.

If I could go back in time I would have sold all my luxury lease options before getting stuck with 14 houses, when the market tanked back in 2007, I lost everything but I am now looking forward to doing it all again now that the market is improving, so I know how to get in but knowing when to get out is more important.

Instead, I feel that MLMs are taking the potential entrepreneurs out of the workforce by selling them on this lazy, 'profit from a yacht' mobile luxury lifestyle.  

We use the TrafficMaster Ultra click type planks.

I made an ultra lowball offer, then came up a bit when I found out there was an investor offer.

And also think about book like The Millionaire Next Door that debunk myths about wealth in the US (a bit dated, but the book's data tells us someone like a landlord in the old pickup in overalls mowing the lawn at the duplexes may be your high net worth person in America; not the flashy professional investor guy in the high end luxury sedan with a Rolex).....

My goal is within 30 years to have collected my long term return on investment (appreciation) on the complexes I have owned and maintained and apply the capital towards a 200-300 luxury condominium complex construction. 

You aren't going to turn a single wide into a luxury home and get your money back.
