You should check out LVT or Luxury Vinyl Tile.

I don't have the luxury of being choosy at this time.

If they want repairs/changes, they can pay upfront plus a monthly increase. 99% won't want that unless you are renting luxury units.You are offering the market your unit.

@Jacob Pereira Sorry to revive an older post, but I had the same strategy (FHA instead of VA) but found that since the market is quite competitive now (mid 2016), sellers have the luxury of selecting buyers that use conventional instead of government loans.

There are crane towers everywhere building "luxury" student apartments, and with the new by-law implemented, mom and pops and small investors seemed to be getting squeezed. 

In the finished lower level (all above ground) I added a bedroom and turned what was a crappy half bath in to a luxurious pimp bathroom.My potential issue is that the work was all done without permits and the tax assessor's website doesn't reflect the correct # of bed's/baths.Will I have to market the house based on tax records and then have the buyer see the extra added value on their own?

From a brokerage stand point we specialize in large land management and sales as well as commercial and luxury real estate.I am the 3rd generation in my family to be in Real Estate here in Hawaii, and we have represented clients from all over the world and have consulted for those clients on transactions for property from Japan to the East Coast.As we are located on an Island and in a small market we do also perform real estate services in other areas, such as residential, long term commercial and residential property management and short term vacation rentals.From an Investment standpoint we are primarily focused in 4 locations, Hawaii, Nevada, California and Oregon.

The poor get their tax returned, the rich buy luxury items and pay luxury tax, they buy more things paying more in sales tax, they own more valuable property, thus pay more in property taxes, and they earn more so they pay in the highest of tax brackets.Enough is enough.All the morons in CA foolishly passed Prop 30 which increases all our taxes in CA.

Ive come across a property in my city that is currently mixed use ( one office and 3 luxury apartments) listed at 399,900.

We have a luxury town home we are currently living in that we would like to convert to a rental, and are under contract for a SFH with a lovely studio apartment that we plan to make a 1 bedroom upon move in.
