What laws would hinder the creation of apartments where residents are required to own and open carry firearms . 

Love that you’re looking into luxury STRs.

That is an issue with luxury cabins, the owners have little issue with holding costs and many have no financing so their hold costs are fairly low.One of the offers went under contract but fell apart.  

True that we had an explosion in supply in the high-end apartment market here in nashville.

For example, you typically would not use an agent selling $250k properties to sell a luxury $2M property and vice versa.

I operate in MacDill AFB area and there are a lot of options from luxury houses (a lot of O6+ there) down to padsplits and apartment rentals. 

Now the guy lives off the cash flow and even started a luxury construction company out here in Idaho.So yeah, it can work.

In Austin, there are a few channels that consistently produce off-market opportunities, whether you're targeting entry-level flips in 78745 or mid- to high-end areas like Jester, Westlake, or Barton Creek West.Some of the main sources I see working right now:• Driving for dollars in long-term ownership pockets• Pre-foreclosure + delinquent tax leads• Probate/inherited properties• Networking with local investors + RE agents• Builders offloading lots or heavy fixers quietly• Wholesalers who specialize in distressed or dated SFRs• Tracking aging or deferred-maintenance homesI’m in the Austin market daily and the deal flow has been all over the board lately — everything from heavy value-add homes to infill lots to luxury fixers.Curious what type of project you're aiming for — entry-level flip, mid-range, or something bigger?

You don’t need a luxury condo to run a profitable midterm rental.
