I'm in my mid-20s, I live in NYC and currently work as a property manager for a medical institution that is continuously expanding their real estate portfolio consisting of luxury high rise apartments.

Using those to pay for lodging at my wedding in Hawaii this year.

It was not until a couple of years ago that this bounty fell into our lap, and our goal is much less about living a life of luxury and much more about making sure our children and grandchildren have the freedom to pursue their passions.

Hello,In the 4/17/14 edition of the Wall Street Journal, this article by Sanette Tanaka appeared: The Education of the Luxury Buyer: Veteran high-end Homeowners approach the real-estate market differently than first timers.I do not have a link but their search button is in the upper-right hand corner.

(I had it rented at 2400/mo)..Keep In mind the house is nice and new construction type but its not a single family, it is a twin house. a luxury one, at that.

I received a bid from a contractor after contract signing and before close.I don't have the "luxury"of the wholesale agent for this one, and I'm working the due diligence alone.

Because of the city it is in, I did not have the luxury of 12-18 months, but I did not know this during purchase - I blame that on a number of factors: wrong REA, not having done enough research on the city I was buying in, and thinking I could be hands off.  

For Baltimore it might be refreshing (pun intended) to have a pool, I believe in our area it is truly more of a luxury that most do not have. 

Not only because of the lodging industry getting cannibalized, but once the money hungry city's realize the amount of lucre they aren't siphoning off effectively they will be even more prone to get in the mix.

There are investors betting on downtown already and rehabbing multiple buildings with retail on the main level and luxury lofts above.
