@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.

Some of my advice you might quickly embrace, some of it you might not want to hear it........I don't know but if you want to build wealth, my advice might be helpful.  

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.  

We do get people coming through for ETSU and Milligan graduations, temporary stays for the VA, and some tourism in the summer and fall but you're not going to stay heavily booked. 

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.

Short-term rentals can be a great starting point, especially in markets with high tourism or business travel.

Not to mention our building standards remain for most part that of colonial times, why, who knows, we just don't like to embrace brick block and cement for some reason and prefer sticks still. 

The tourism demand is strong year-round, especially in beach towns like Panama City Beach or Destin.

That property is now a reliable source of rental income and a constant reminder that success starts with taking action, learning on the fly, and embracing challenges head-on.

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