I currently 100% owner of a prime piece of lakefront property on a very popular lake with very limited lakefront availability. 

@Pete Schmidt the Midwest as a whole is a popular focal point of investors.Metro Detroit is where we operate and there's lots of avenues for investor success.

Now STR are not very popular with the neighbors so they maybe did get the % of votes needed.

So the summer has activities such as moutain biking and hiking and what not but its not too popular. we plan on reopening the business to summer activities.

Been looking at a nice condo unit in a very popular location that isn't selling because the property is too loud. 

I removed Airbnb from this Google Trends search because it depressed all the other searches because it is most popular in Hawaii.

It can be worth some money (Midwest farm land is about $160/ac per year in rent) and obviously land on a popular lake, the strip, or NYC can be be north of a $1m/acre.

Thats a great idea @Chris Mason food truck type "depot" areas around here are quite popular.  

Areas such as Liberty, Ferndale, Swan Lake, Woodridge, Monticello, and Woodbourne are quickly becoming popular among buyers.

For example I have house hacking clients in Malibu doing STR and the city imposes a 15% gross income tax.The popular areas (Joshua Tree, Big Bear, etc.) from what I am hearing are over saturated.
