5 Pointers to Making a Meaningful Investment in Luxury Real Estate

When it comes to investing in something as serious as real estate, the stakes are pretty high. Without trying to “scare” you, it goes without saying that such a large investment presents a lot to think about. And, when that investment is not just in ordinary real estate, but in luxury real estate, there are even more points to consider.

Denver Luxe Team has extensive experience with luxury real estate. Whether you’re considering making an investment in the near future or you’re just trying to get some information, we’re here to help you out.

1. Understand the Market

Before you even touch the surface of making this large investment, you need to understand the market you’re looking in. Remember, when it comes to buying any real estate, it’s all about “location, location, location.” Regardless of whether or not these living quarters are going to be your next home or merely a money maker, you need to be sure you can sell it when and if the time comes to do so.

To understand the market, take a look at the temperature. Is the advantage for the buyer or the seller? Is it getting warmer, or cooling down? How are the schools, the city, the crime, the cost of living, etc.? And, how do those factors expect to change as time goes on? Lastly, take a look at other homes in the area you’re looking in. How are they faring?

2. Know Your Own Goals

Ultimately, why do you want to make this luxury investment? Time to think about your goals and start asking yourself some questions:

• Are you looking for a luxury vacation place to rent out? If so, is this a vacation spot that’s popular all year round, or only during certain seasons?
• Is this a place that you hope to make your own home one day, or is it something you want to continuously gain income from?
• Instead of a home, could this be a place you want to turn into luxury offices?
• Are you looking for a consistent, long-term profit, or an instant lump-sump?

If you don’t know what your own goals are, start thinking about them!

3. Think About a Best-Case and Worst-Case Scenario

With such an investment, you need to consider the fact that things may not always work out the way you would hope them to. Okay, so that might sound a tad negative. But, this is a big decision and big money. As an extension of writing down your investment goals, you should also think the best-case and worst-case scenarios. Keep those in mind so you know how to ask the right “what if” questions with your agent.

4. Be Open-Minded

If you want to make a meaningful investment in luxury real estate, you need to be a bit flexible and open-minded. For example, perhaps you may consider leasing at first, and then see where that lease takes you. Or, perhaps instead of having your heart set on one location, you try opening up to the possibility of other locations. Finally, maybe it’s better for you to look into flipping a property that needs work instead of buying one that’s move-in ready.

While you shouldn’t settle for anything less than what you want, you never know where a little open-mindedness can leave you.
