A good realtor can also introduce you to mortgage brokers or financing options that suit your needs. 

When I managed properties the owner would regularly call me in his office.... why did we spend $1/sqft to paint this apartment, why did we replace a fridge, what does it cost $2500 to do a simple make-ready on a 1 bedroom luxury apartment?

I drove 2 hours to said meeting this morning to walk into a room full of cheerleaders in suits, upbeat music and people dancing around like idiots. 

I am leaning towards houses with basement suites in C/B neighborhoods in the larger cities here.

Private lending or lending through a syndicated debt fund is better suited in a self-directed IRA/401k in my opinion. 

Husband and wife agents with luxury brand, own a construction business, licensed General Contractor, retired army officer, successful spec projects in 2004(money was easy then).

I just installed luxury vinyl tiles from Nucor in a future rental and they came out looking great.

Backstory: two luxury cabins in the Rocky Mountains, each sleep a max of 16 but 8-10 guests is more common.

Defendants also spent considerable funds on luxury travel and vacations, including least $4.6 million on chartering private jets and luxury car services, at least $183,871 on hotels and resorts (including $15,404 to Norwegian Cruise Line, $12,750 to Access Italy, an Italian travel company, and $8,738 to Expedia.com).

There are plenty of transient markets in Florida where the supply of median home priced properties can cash flow well but it would make no sense to purchase a luxury property in that market.
