Nevertheless, I am also open to discussing other lucrative investment opportunities, including luxury homes and strategies like BRRR. 

As far as specific cities go... if you like it hot - Phoenix area or Lake Havasu City (LHC) may suit you.

So I bought a house in upstate new york that has an in law suite near saratoga.

I would not have added as much luxury finishes if I was not going to live in the home.

Larger-scale projects like full bathroom remodels, kitchen remodels, or primary suit additions tend to cost homeowners significantly more and return much less on the investment.

Then you've opened Pandoras Box and you instantly have the guys in the HazMat suits with fans and plastic sheets all over.....and a bill for $5000 for something you could have done for $50.I used to do this kind of work on the weekends when the city inspectors weren't driving around :-) 

Evaluate these options to find the one that best suits your needs, there's no perfect choice, that's for sure!

There are luxury cabins sitting out there at $89 per night, with no bookings.  

The difficulty in confirming proper notice is one of the reasons title insurance companies are reluctant to insure a tax deed without a separate quiet title suit.

Since I use it when I come down here to do work, and we have family visits here, it doesn't particularly bother me that it loses money as I just consider it a luxury like playing golf or flying airplanes.
