I still plan to invest in real estate just not the entire $1.8M, but now I have the luxury to wait for a deal I feel good about.  

Ft)Luxury ($150-200 x Sq.

I like the idea behind being frugal while your peers are buying luxuries however I think this example is a little disrespectful of the restaurant.

Mind you they drove luxury cars, etc. so it's not like they were wanting for anything...While my initial goal might have been to retire early with this, I've kept cashing out and growing it, as I've started to enjoy the "game".

@Olya Sorokina That's a luxury neighborhood so prices fluctuate a lot based on how fancy you are going with the flip and the curb appeal.

However, the future may not be good for two class : semi-luxury house ; and also condo.But I could be wrong. 

Conveniently located for commuters, a bus stop is merely 10 steps away, making it an ideal residence for those seeking both luxury and practicality.

If that happens, you might see an even greater increase in demand for purchasing lower level housing, with tenants perceiving they're getting a bad deal in their current rental, motivating them to finally buy a home instead.EFFECTS ON SHORT TERM RENTALS (STR)Since short term rentals are associated with travel, which itself is somewhat of a luxury, I don't think UBI would have as much impact on the STR market.Surely, more people that couldn't afford to travel in the past would suddenly be able to, but they may choose to spend that money elsewhere instead.And that's the whole rub with UBI.

The hard part is if you have luxury units that demand a premium.

I just don't have the luxury of spending my time in that manner.
