Maybe a SFH with renter through the school year and then AirBNB over the summer to take advantage of the tourism hitting Glacier National Park, Yellowstone, Fishing.We’re you end up fishing?

In my opinion generally if you don't mind actively managing the unit by doing cleanouts yourself it is much higher margin, specifically in high tourism months. 

My name is Thom Dickey and I am a 100 % service connect Vietnam vet living in Medford Oregon.

I can say that if you have an area that has a high tourism demand then the margins you can make are far better than a traditional rental.

But that equity will take a huge hit.My market is tied into the west coast urban markets, and my investments are tourism based.

(it's in my missis' name and leased to me for 30 years but still a risk worth mentioning)If my gut is wrong and there isn't room for a middle-market short term rental, I'm down a serious chunk of cash.Pai is reliant on tourism.

My cousin came back from Vietnam more messed up than anybody I have ever seen. 

One thing to consider when purchasing a vacation rental is to look at the amount of domestic tourism, or stay-cationers that visit the area.

Shepherd is a historical town with lots of old buildings and such that have been restored and they get a lot of tourism because of it.

Tourism demand is much lower compared to other FL cities.There's nothing wrong with that - but it doesn't fit our model.
