My research is showing increasing inventory, decreasing YOY performance/ROI, and over-saturation of that STR market. 

Condos are also unique because each condo is different from another, so the strategy is really building by building, and there are buildings which match each of the options you listed above.June 2024 showed clearly the increase (and rush to sell) of inventory, that for 90% is driven by older buildings (40 years+).  

Down in parts of Texas and Florida there are massive spikes in inventory while in other areas like the northeast and part of the midwest, the markets are on fire.

And why do you just cruise past flipping a house and making a profit as if it's no problem with low inventory, no experience, and no connections.

@Caleb Graham I've bought and sold over 1,000 properties for my own inventory. 

You also will struggle to find inventory. 

I have read that the housing inventory has been increasing.

Personally, I'm betting my own money on it, looking for investments now that our inventory has creeped up to about 4 months supply, which is still pretty low compared to most markets.  

People HOLDING, reduces available inventory to buy, for buyers. 

I'm seeing renovated inventory sit, then trade well below list in a large portion of the ATL metro.
