How to figure out if STR will work in a 'new to you' area?

[Julie Fullmer]

We are probably moving to the Yuma area in the next couple months and I was wondering if there is a good way to figure out if there is a viable market for Short Term Rentals? There are some in the area but is there a way to find out how well they do? We are looking at different ways to house hack and looking at properties with that in mind... Thanks for your help!
