I’d like to turn my primary residence - $225k townhouse (3 bed 2.5 bath) - into a rental and then go on and rent a $2500/month luxury townhouse.

Developers have already started renovating old buildings and turning them into luxurious apartments.Be careful of where you decide to invest though because some bad apples have been coming to the area and causing trouble. 

I was thinking luxury vinyl, but wanted to see what everyone else was using. 

If the market goes well, they can 5X the initial investment, take 30% carried interest spread on $50M, and buy a ton of luxury real estate to take even cooler pictures of their life on Instagram. 2) Extreme diversification, sprawling, "strategy and synergy free" portfolios:The other take that is possible from naive social media followers, but not from sophisticated family offices or private equity shops is one where a syndicator raises a ton of money across multiple different types of asset classes in a seemingly random set of geographies. 

We're working with several luxury STR purchase investors and several super jumbo refinances (over $3M) that are likely to commit with improved terms and anticipated ROI. 

Since you don't have that luxury, you are forced to pay people who can do it for you.

Sundays are not a banking holiday, even if they're at the football game..Status updates and running ahead of schedule are essentials not luxuries.  

Purchase price: $726,000 Cash invested: $1,300,000 Sale price: $4,500,000 We are developing a 4 story a luxury Duplex on Indian Rocks Beach FL.

One thing I'm struggling with however is my ability to really understand the local markets in some of the areas I've been targeting.Among a couple areas, I think Watsessing Ave in Bloomfield has great transit, appropriately priced properties (cash flow opportunities), and there seems to be some serious development happening (new supermarket and luxury apts just finishing a short walk east of the Watsessing Ave station).I've driven many of the streets and seen a few properties in the area to get a feel.  

I am married to a successful interior designer who serves luxury clients but can work with me to make rental properties look great for half the cost with her knowledge of what makes the most impact.
