There's really no comparison between these two very expensive luxury markets and Greeley.

Different insurance, lodging taxes from city/county/state, cost of furnishing, utilities and internet included in rent, landscaping, consumables, marketing, and even the amount of time you're going to spend answering calls, coordinating cleaners, etc.Short-term can be profitable but a lot of people exaggerate the numbers by not accounting for all the costs.Also think about your goals.

Grass is a major luxury there.You can have your tenant mow the lawn, but if he doesn’t do it and the City inspectors issues a ticket, the Landlord is responsible for paying the ticket.

If youre trying to by a luxury home, dont by an agent who sells entry level condos, hire one that sells luxury homes.

And I got estimates from Robuilt's youtube channel of $7-10 per sqft for decor on a budget listing and $10-12 per sqft for a luxury listing.

You could have 2 properties next to each other that appear identical but one was built by a luxury home builder and the other by a crappy builder, and that could be a huge change in value.

This would also include 'luxury apartments' that are upgraded and usually come with 2 baths or better locations.And then I think the lower end of the luxury markets works as well.

I think ever square inch of that 1400sq/ft unit is packed with her luxury items.

I woudn't do that to my clients.You CAN, however, research through the department of RE website in your area to see if your agent has ever had a complaint lodged against them, or if they have had disciplinary action. 

This would be a personal residence/luxury house hack so there is a bit of an attachment.
