The current property is a higher end luxury home that has all the bells and whistles, but is open to terms.

My wife works at GM and I work full time as a Process Design Engineer and time is a luxury, I am somewhat handy doing things around the home including remodeling, however, I don't plan on doing the work completely on my own.

No such luxury with (most) money orders.

I was contacted by an agent that has an approved ss listing for a luxury home at $599k.

This thought process came up while I was having a conversation with one of my co-workers who rents a high end luxury unit (his complex has the card system).

It is on the wrong side of the the lodge and a bit too close to Highland Park for my taste.

The unit is a "luxury" condo associated with a country club-- generally an "A" property.

One idea I had after looking at some interior design videos is to live in it, turn it into an extra luxurious condo and sell it in a few years or rent it out for a premium.

Literally all the flooded houses along the bayou have been remodeled into even higher-end luxury housing and are selling with no trouble at all.

Stay close to Long Beach for your property, if you have that luxury.
