I’m looking to purchase a 10 acre parcel either in Columbus, Dahlonega, or Helen.I’d like to live on half the land, and develop the other half into five A frame luxury short term rental units. 

These are the high-end, luxury properties in upscale communities.

@Gus DeBreeThat's a good result for you but most tax sale buyers won't have that luxury.

It’s not just about luxury anymore; it’s about creating spaces that adapt to the future and the people living in them.For investors, understanding these shifts is key.

I wouldn't consider it a heavy negative unless the street is super tight and parking is hard to come by or if the street is very steep/busy.The more desirable dense city neighborhoods it's almost kind of expected and off street parking would be considered a luxury rather than a necessity.If you get out into the suburbs I would say it's more of a big deal since more rentals have off street parking or a garage there.

For my area it isn't worth going the extra mile or spending extra money for something big and luxurious.

Just get it under contract as quickly as possible... an multi- page realtor supplied purchase contract often does not afford you the luxury of time.  

We sold a wonderful two unit STR in Depoe Bay in 2024, which generally is a no-go zone but has neighborhoods with specific commercial zoning that allows for vacation rental usages as well as a brand new development of luxury homes that allows STR usages similar to Olivia Beach in nearby Lincoln City. 

I have an accepted offer on a luxury cabin in the sierras.  

Shortly after the crash my tenants learned that condo developers were renting out luxury apartments in the area for around the same rents I was charging so I was forced to lower rents. 1200/apt 2 1050/apt3.
