You know, I may be on the low end of the income scale for this community… and the age scale for that matter.

I have yet to clear 100k a year and am only 26. For me, I am more concerned with practicality… and will probably be equally concerned when I feel we are in the market trough. I already have a wife and newborn baby to support.

I just think that most crappy one/two bedroom condo conversions were going a little overboard with the premium construction.

I am glad to hear that you all seem to agree that I will not be forced to pay for luxury materials just because every REO has them.
