*There was 10.1% more listing inventory in the metro and a whopping 30.5% more active listings on the market in the City of Austin.

A smart seller/listing agent will likely require a large EMD to tie you to performing on your offer, so be prepared for that. 

My question is, because my agent was involved in showing the home and made offers for us while it was listed (6 months ago) should I go through them or it is okay to pursue this as any other off market property without an agent?

I am helping other investors as a realtor now, so if you are ever interested in listing it or just want some comps, let me know. 

.🔹 Airbnb is Facing Increasing Restrictions:New York City has implemented strict rules requiring hosts to register and be physically present, effectively banning many short-term rentals.Dallas and Atlanta have passed zoning laws banning short-term rentals in residential areas.California cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles are ramping up enforcement with hefty fines for non-compliant listings.🔹 Co-Living is Gaining Legal Ground:Colorado eliminated all restrictions on the number of unrelated adults living together statewide as of July 1, 2024, marking a major victory for co-living advocates.This week, Jacksonville Municipal Court ruled in favor of PadSplit, voiding citations for “illegal boarding houses” on constitutional and fair housing grounds.Cities like all over like Washington D.C. are considering zoning reforms to allow more co-living developments as an answer to the housing crisis.As Airbnb restrictions tighten, co-living is emerging as a scalable and legally sound alternative that balances affordability, tenant stability, and community needs.

Quote from @John Clark: Did you check for houses on the auction list,  or you can check with banks and look for REOs and convert that into a single family home and house hack or turn it into a Airbnb. 

But consumers all are on the site for free where real estate agents are constantly hawked to buy leads or participate in what is now a 35-40% referral business for unvetted leads who think they are contacting the listing agent.Their business model has always been flawed.

Absolutely - East Hill is a really popular area for traveling heath care professionals, as well as military on short term TDY orders who are looking for furnished stays.Keys to success for my condo have been keeping the furniture fresh, and not looking like every other listing out there.

There are cheaper one’s in D/F areas but I would be careful as those can create a laundry list of additional issues.

Has anyone used RABBU to market their short term rental for sale to potential buyers?  If so how did it go?
