What I've seen is that rents have dropped in the city (Especially luxury rentals) and have risen in the suburbs due to the following reasons:- Colleges are still for the most part, remote, creating a large volumes of vacancies which has lead to landlords giving incentives to get their units rented (One or Two months free rent, broker fee paid by landlord, etc.)- As a result of this, a lot of my clients who are coming up on their lease renewal period are negotiating lower rents with their current landlords.

My primary interest is to start a luxury residential rehabilitation business.

I want to rehab properties into luxury Eco friendly homes.

Some will switch out the luxury brand appliances with cheaper ones the day of closing. 

I'm also wondering how some of the ones that are posting here, are ignoring the ignorant posts on this thread.Any person who enjoys the luxuries of America must accept that they are eating the fruit of the FREE labor TAKEN from enslaved people.

It was such a big component that I thought the foundation triangle(knowledge, hustle and money) is missing a big component and that is how I  came up with the idea Foundation Diamond as mentioned in one of the slides, where Mindset is one precondition to the other ones.2) Question#3: Maybe because it is my main priority as well and I am biased toward it but a lot of them take this luxury of time and freedom to spend quality time with their family; That was one of the recurrent theme across the interviews.Also I find they are philanthropists and I think it is refreshing; Once you are not struggling for yourself and are not anymore in "survival mode" asking yourself how you are going to pay the kids' tuition or your mortgage, going full steam in the "rat race" everyday without getting the head up, that is when you start looking after others more; When I say others, I mean beyond the family and a lot of them were involved in the community; It was not forced, but natural to give back; I read that once you reach the summit, you need to throw back the rope for the other ones climbing" and I think it applied there; we see so many crazy things in this world, it is good to see there is still some good in us.3) Their story and Question#4: The other take away is that there is no magic recipe for success and behind every success story, there is some good things and some bad ones such as struggles, fear, desperation, doubt, failures and the reality is not just as rosy as we could imagine for people who are financially free; Most have reached it to a price that not everybody is willing to pay. 

You will NOT get 1300+ in Milverton unless you are renting luxury 3-bedroom units with granite... even then I doubt it.Then again, are you finding legitimate cash-flow at all in Kitchener or Waterloo?

I can't imagine any cram-down of rents for any ordinary rental, maybe in a luxury unit in unusual circumstances. :)

Depending on the area I have several contacts with luxury home building experience that would love to partner with you.  

Each submarket around Boston has it's own "play;" and as a savy investor, don't box yourself - because in Massachusetts, you have the luxury where you don't have to. ps.
