@Sarah Hartwell find a mature vacation market where the local municipalities make plenty of tax revenue off the tourism.

If tourism drops so could business!

Their economies rely heavily on tourism, and they support short-term rentals.Our management partner manages nearly 100 quality STRs around the Nelson County/Afton/Staunton areas and they have not noticed a slowdown at all this year. 

However, when it comes to the time and energy required to do an outstanding job of getting the best tenant (marketing, screening, qualification...etc), particularly handling the inbound applications and all the showings, hiring a PM may be worth the expense.One thing to be very wary of: PMs who charge many, seemingly ridiculous fees.

Turkey is actually a great market thanks to its huge tourism industry, its proximity toi Europe and its hugely depreciated currency.

Nashville is seeing greater job growth than most of the markets mentioned above and we anchored by diverse industries (healthcare, auto, logistics, manufacturing, tourism, music, banking, tech, etc).  

In many countries like the ones you mentioned, actual reliable data is hard to come by so take that worth a grain of salt.There are opportunities, but it’s risky given we don’t know when tourism will pick up again so it’s hard to anticipate the carrying costs.

How are you typically staying on top of inbound questions and ensuring quick response time?

Many tourism jobs disappear in the winter and there isn't much else to drive the economy.

Do some high level research on the cities you are thinking of - do research on STR regulations, travel/tourism, population growth, companies already there, construction being built, etc. 2.
