To add: you have a historically strong and consistent tourism presence, limited land/STR allowable areas, highly liquid property compared to selling a cabin in the woods, all 9 classes of visitors in the STR sector, and appreciation.  

They are both growing rapidly and expanding their tourism segments.

Does anyone have a good lender/contact for a commercially zoned tourism home?

I would mention here that a typical condo or single family does not qualify for the Act 60 TOURISM tax credit (which gives you up to 40% back)  - the project needs to meet certain qualifications as a guest house, hotel, villas or bed & breakfast - it can be as little as 3 rooms.  

They are cheap, and will get cheaper in coming recession, as tourism to Vegas will decline, and they have superior growth and great management, that know what they are actually doingADC -(Agree Realty), they do what I do privately, but on a bigger scale, run by Joey Agree , very smart, they have excellent growth, multi-tenant, triple net retail, and grocery anchored Retail, they will benefit from massive secular tailwinds, as there has been under construction in retail for years, due to fear of E-commerce, higher construction costs/insurance costs, post GFC under financing-construction, etc, so existing inventory is commanding higher rents, we are bumping new leases by 7-11%, they will get this endogenous earnings growth for yearsthese should perform well over next 10 years, never buy anything in Real Estate for less than 10 years, to allow to go through cycles, and if you can buy in 401k/IRA so dividends can be re-invested tax freegood luck, you have to monitor your E-REITS like you would any other stock, closely, as they move with sentiment not just on NAV like private Real estate, so you can't just dose em w 200mg of propofol and walk away, not that you'd ever do that :)good luck

Tourism is still not where it has been before covid but I believe in a year or so it will probably bounce back to pre-covid levels.

For those familiar with this market; what is bringing the guests (tourism, professional, mix of both)?

For context, in Orlando, we’ve seen fluctuations in tourism and a growing demand for long-term housing, possibly due to economic factors and changes in travel behavior.
