It’s a 2 bed 2 bath in the romantic zone, basically the best tourist area. 

[tourist stuff doesn’t count] I’m currently living in and investing in the South Carolina area, specifically the upstate “Greenville” area(at the moment).

Let the California State Assembly know that short-term rentals are a valuable and needed option for California property owners and tourists.

I have been thinking about buying some condos in heavy tourist locations.

Ours is short-term but it's at the beach...where there are many and the neighbors are used to it and the community loves tourists and their dollars. 

Then you add the strategic military location on top of being a world famous tourist location and you got a never ending supply of transient population for rentals and high demand for investors or rich retirees.

I live on a small island with very high tourist demand during summer and fall season.

If it's in or near a tourist area, you could AirBnB it for the 10 months and just block off the time you'll need/want to use it.

I think that is all you can do because rent is not going to make the 1% rule.The other alternative, depending on where this is and how much tourist activity (as well as local ordinances), would be to STVR it. 

It's a tourist town with hard working families that rarely move once they find a great rental.
