On Luxury sim, you can now have waterfront luxury with DOUBLE prims at a fraction of the total cost of ownership.

Parcel #1: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Luxury/2/123/23
This parcel is waterfront, 4800 square meters, double prims (2196), and rents for L$18,720 per month because it is double prims. If you were to buy a comparable parcel, you would spend at least L$200,000 just to purchase it and then have tier payments of $40 USD or approximately L$10,760 per month.

Parcel #2: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Luxury/132/2/22
This parcel is waterfront, 2048 square meters, double prims (936), and rents for L$8000 per month because it is double prims. If you were to buy a comparable parcel, you would spend at least L$41,000 just to purchase it and then have tier payments of $15 USD or approximately L$4035 per month.

If you do the math, renting is a very good option. You do not have to be Premium to rent and people from the UK and the EU never pay any VAT tax.
