Economists credit a mix of factors including ultra-low mortgage rates, increasing demand for space, and an emerging home-buying demographic: millennials.

Conversion from typical run-down beach rental to fully-renovated and furnished luxury vacation beach rental What was the outcome?

I started my journey getting into leasing luxury apartments and doing management.

But black matte just gives the impression of 'luxury' to most people viewing it and costs virtually the same as chrome and brushed nickel (which I cannot stand persoally).

(our projects have all been internal)10: These models can be goosed or modified or enhanced by qualified opportunity zone funds (deferring capital tax until 2026/7. 11: We are only doing 3 story- easy to build, woody walkups- Nice apartments- (Quartz, stainless, nice kitchen bathroom)- These are so easy to build vs the luxury, podium, 5/2 style.  

They're typically priced in the 4-7% ranges so they're not going to give you that ultra low 3's rates that a conventional lender might.It would be best to figure out what your scenario is currently and see which route would be best for you going forward. 

You could rent a less expensive place and use the time to save up even more for a downpayment, or you could rent a luxury place, and just enjoy the perks for a while. 

I didn't specify that I'd only be going to close friends and family; it definitely sounded as if I was going to just ultra-experienced investors immediately.

@Naoko PottsThis type of request is a luxury, not something that will prevent them from using the property.

Prices in San Francisco are already ultra high - almost 10x of my home town Milwaukee - and they are still going up.Now of course Milwaukee does not have a silicone valley (even though a very robust economy) so real estate will probably never be anywhere close to those levels.
