I read that longtime residents were very resistant to gentrification and there was some violence due to this.

Tamper-resistant receptacles throughout, arc fault breakers, etc.

My biggest concern would be hurricane resistance.

I limit my pets to 25lbs, and if I’m met with resistance I blame it on my insurance company.

@Ben MorandListen man, lots of these people on here are in their own lane and resist anything contrary to their beliefs on how real estate should work.

From a durability standpoint, flat is harder to clean and less resistant to scuffs making it a less desirable choice for rental properties.

Now, only use it when rates so low I can’t resist

Areas that have seen more resistance to these trends typically have high crime rates and located 30+ minutes outside of Charlotte or in SC which has higher tax rates for out of state investors.

I could be wrong, but I don't think there's a huge market for $300-a-foot homes in the 1,200sf range.There's plenty of ways to build those houses with added energy efficiency, flood-damage resistance (i.e. assemblies that dry to the exterior), and appealing styling without having to use ICF's, metal studs and SIP's.

I was about to do a full LVP install again but came across a great deal on 14mm solid strand bamboo plank floating floor treated with 9 layers of aluminum oxide for $1.69 a sq ft.
