@Kegan SchollFrom my experience, if you're a 22-year-old house hacker, Texas and similar markets can be great for room rentals thanks to population growth, strong demand, and tourism.

Marketing is through a dedicated tourism team, hence the higher than typical gross. 

Because of that success, and the tourism of Santa Fe, I'm assuming a STR will likely out preform a LTR with modern amenities, design, etc in place.  

I personally just want the monthly/quarterly updates and the inbound wires received. 

Vacation RentalsCities with strong tourism industries, such as Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg, offer opportunities in the short-term rental market.

I wouldn't use Lake Geneva because with its tourism its in a league of its own in that area. 

As tourism grows, seemingly so does demand and nightly rates.

The Costa del Sol is one of the world's most successful tourism success in the world ever.

Oregon coast crashed hard in the GFC   the Covid has it coming back FINALLY  but bottom line is very little industry and jobs.. since logging and fishing has curtailed .. so its retirement and tourism. 

The tourism authority has had some good information in the past about how many visitors come to each island and, of those visitors, how many book STRs.
