This will give you a feel for the numbers in realtime.Second, I'd advise looking hard at the travel nurse/corporate travel market, as opposed to general tourism market.After arbitraging for 6 months to a year you'll have a very good idea of where to find your 20% CoC opportunity.

Be prepared.Even if your personal home is only mildly impacted, but your community who relies on tourism has a BIG impact, understand that this will take months or years to recover from and some communities will not recover.

Short-term rentals are ideal in tourism-driven states, while medium-term rentals near military bases provide stability.

While it's a great spot with a ton of tourism unfortunately, it seems the hotels view STR's as competition and have helped to encourage the strict regulations.

The Riviera Maya and Cancun area for example has has an 8 to 10% capital gain per year in the last 10 years, the politics are stable  and the country's international tourism is booming.
