Like a couple others have mentioned, through & post Covid we saw a lot of tourists visiting Florida which lead to a really profitable STR market in 2021/2022. 

Although it is a tourist destination, the majority of home sales are still owner occupants.

For other projects, once I had my rental under control I decided to test the demand for tourist rentals - AirBnB, etc.

Okemos, a small, neighboring city to the south, has better performance ($75k/4.7%/4.0%).In addition to the basic economic indicators, Haslett has strong tourist potential (if you ever AirBnB) being so close to Michigan State University (football/basketball game weekends) and strong recreational potential in terms of green space and Lake Lansing.

An update from the Jacksonville Business Journal, released today:The city of Jacksonville is moving toward collecting bed taxes from Airbnb hosts, with Duval County having the 17th highest revenue from the company in the state.Collecting taxes from Airbnb would make Duval the 40th of Florida's 63 counties to do so.The City Council auditor will begin determining how much the city should collect, following a vote by the Jacksonville Tourist Development Council earlier this month.The TDC also voted to begin a partnership with AirDNA Solutions, a subscription service company that provides advertised listings, room nights and other information to track.

And what I mean by that is that I see PR becoming a destination for tourists & AirBnB users.

I also believe that Julian, being so dependent on tourism and needing lodging for the tourists, will not be quick to try and restrict vacation rentals.Second, my cash flow was due to the fact that I managed the property myself.

We often take those days off work and do the "tourist in your own town" deal for those 4 days!

From experience with the international tourist industry in cape coral, isn't the yacht club area the go to?

I am looking at costa rica, argentina, mexico, and some tourist areas of oregon and washington.
