Indeed, I'm not sure why you'd want to own a short-term rental home in Cancun to start with.People who land in Cancun (mostly tourists) generally either stay in a hotel / all-inclusive resort there or in the neighbouring Riviera Maya or they stay in a short-term rental in the Riviera Maya.

My other investments focus on the mid-term rental space, and I’m drawn to Jacksonville to stay near hospitals and schools, which are essential for my target demographic.I’d love insights on the strength of the current market here, any projected trends, and tips for making a solid investment in this location.

Any resources, tips, or personal experiences would be incredibly helpful as I explore this investment opportunity!

Hi Joshua I am a real estate investor in the Dominican Republic, specially in Punta Cana and let me tell you tha is the best place to invest in the all Caribbean. i saw a post about '' punta cana is only for all inclusive hotel '' and that is 50% right and 50% wrong because there is all inclusive hotel that have there public but also there is airbnb and other that also has there public. 

Often the less touristy places have better year round occupancy because there is a broader mix of reasons for people to visit, plus those towns are often short on hotel beds.

I had to put the two shared-bathroom kids in a hotel for a total of 7 days at the cost of $450.

This raises the operational costs for hosts.Compliance with Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT): STR operators must collect and remit the city’s HOT (9% for San Antonio and 1.75% for Bexar County)​.
