Which reminds me that I should mention that I’m not opposed to living a not-so-luxurious lifestyle in the short run.

It's now been 7 years since our fire and cookie-cutter neighborhoods are about 90% rebuilt, custom home neighborhoods are about 75% rebuilt, and luxury homes about 50% rebuilt. 

For example, in higher-end or luxury markets, where the price point is much higher, full-service staging can be a game-changer.

Programs like the Navy Lodge or Temporary Lodging Allowance (TLA) can be starting points.

Provided I can establish a solid investment plan tailored to their financial needs/comforts such as debt ratios and income, they would be more than happy to offer me some financial control.Additionally, If I wanted to, for the sake of building my own personal wealth, I admittedly have the luxury of taking a loan from my parents.

On the RE side - I own/developed 2,000 residential units across the United States focusing on opportunistic residential acquisitions and development, including student housing conversions and luxury multifamily development.On the startup side - it is a third-party guarantor platform that expands your renter pool, increases rents and occupancy, and ultimately boosts your NOI while broadening affordable housing options for renters.

Smart tech, such as fast Wi-Fi, streaming services, and keyless entry, consistently gets positive feedback, as do luxury bathroom additions like plush towels and rain showers.

I am going to see if I can switch to a local Wisconsin insurance that reflects our local risk level in their premiums.Many of the homes in the Pacific Palisades are 3-5 million, but when you look on Google Street View, most are very modest homes from the 1960s (there are some $20m ultra luxury mansions too), so a lot is the land value, the home replacement value on a 1600sqft may be what - 500k at the most?

We sold a wonderful two unit STR in Depoe Bay in 2024, which generally is a no-go zone but has neighborhoods with specific commercial zoning that allows for vacation rental usages as well as a brand new development of luxury homes that allows STR usages similar to Olivia Beach in nearby Lincoln City. 

I think most people searching in a given area are not looking to prey they are purposely looking for lodging.
