Some areas have a ton of supply coming, yet not enough to keep up with inbound migration.  

There is the demand from refinery contractors and from tourism.  

The best leads and the best deals come from inbound marketing.

We have a ton of tourism, which fuels hospitality.

However, you can take advantage of this if you wanted...Take care and buy something well-positioned, low priced, and have plenty of reserves behind it so when tourism recovers in those markets you can take full advantage.In the meantime, people will always need a roof over their head!

Given Texarkana's lack of tourism and large institutions, I think you are looking at the friends and family market.

Old Orchard Beach is a heavy tourism town with several colleges near by.

Denver/Boulder (cities with diverse job markets) obviously very different from Steamboat (awesome mountain town mostly dependent on tourism).

While you may like the security of a long-term rental for a house hack, because of the large amount of tourism it’s worth looking at short-term rental opportunities.

@Brian Sego The market @Lucas Carl and I are in is dominated by tourism - there are thousands of cabins in the area like ours, and there are vendors in the area that exist just to service them.
