Maybe the locals know Anchorage isn't real Alaska, but you are marketing to tourists, not locals.

Cheers Good luck to you, be sure to check out https://www.airdna.co/ as far as seeing if you can do better deal as an Airbnb especially if the area is visited by tourists and of course parents, lol. 

It's a small town, it's cold, and there are few job openings outside of the summer tourist season.

Could use some help with cap rates for commercial property in two areas of San Diego:First is industrial/retail mix on/near the old "mile of cars" on National City Blvd.The second are small houses converted to tourist retail shops in between San Diego Ave & Congress St. in Old Town.We're gearing up to buy out two owners, and struggling to find enough actual data for a sufficient sample size.Thanks to whomever weighs in!

Although I didn’t went to Orlando downtown, the thing that surprised me the most was that I thought to see many tourists from all over the world but had the feeling that mainly the people around us inside of the parks where Americans tourists and also how big those parks and the number of employers they need, so I see the potential of owning real estate in Orlando.

I absolutely love the central coast through there as a tourist, as far as commercial launches go Vandenberg is primarily used for polar orbit launches, which is a fairly small percentage of the total, this is because to launch normally the rocket would fly over land and populated areas, which is a no-no. 

I believe it's split 1/2 state sales tax and 1/2 Tourist Development Tax to the county.

My town is not a tourist destination. 

Let's take that same house you say only rents for $600/month....can you rent it on AirBnb to tourists for $100 / night?
