I don't have that luxury with this since I live in FL and the property is in MD. 

One has to actually put in the effort and start to free up some time in order to hangout in the places where foreign investors, who are often luxury buyers tend to be in.

I suspect that during the years ahead abandoned real estate is destined to be a growth industry.http://www.forbes.com/2011/03/23/abandoned-mansions-luxury-real-estate-forbeslife_slide_2.htmlOwners of abandoned property, who can be found, would be offered a token cash payment for quit claiming property that they have already abandoned or intend to abandon.

I look at the lifestyles of the tremendously wealthy that have come out of real estate (today its not too hard to become a millionaire if you play it right), big mansions (if you can do what Cardone said, and pay the house off in cash),  luxury cars, you know high class living.I'm not necessarily looking to make it a career, rather one of many sources of income to build up a pretty net worth.

Is doing an energy-efficient spec house risky because buyers might not understand the benefits and only value standard luxuries like stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and his and her sinks?  

As soon as the economy began growing out comes the protesters to complain about basically everything: Twitter tax credits; Google busses; "luxury condos"; building moratoriums; tech people moving here; displacement of low income rent controlled tenants; etc, etc. all this while our city has an $8 billion (yes billions) dollar budget.  

I contacted the local police department who stated that AC was a luxury and not a necessity.  

Upscale and luxury SUVs can be picked up for about 1/3rd of new with about 70k.

Stop trying to go elephant hunting with a slingshot.The hospital I was born in is now a retirement home, much better suited to a hospital layout, there are higher and better uses of such a property than taking it to a residential use, the lowest yielding project for a large building unless it was a luxury joint.

I am interested in investing in a luxury condo in Denver, CO and I am wondering what kind of property will be more in demand and what things I should be careful about when investing in a condo?
