Unfortunately you're a little late to get in on it, but Duluth did break ground on a tiny house development project in the summer of 2021 that awarded free lots to contractors to build the structures on and they might do it again in the future, so might be something to watch out for.If you're looking outside of the city and up the shore where most of the tourism occurs, you might be able to find something more "affordable".

I was absolutely one of the people that got STR licenses for my properties just in case I choose to go back to them in the future.Both the ski area and town are projecting a huge winter of tourism.

Orlando is heavily dependent on tourism, so they will be a different market than somewhere like Fort Myers/Naples.

Seasonal tourism is steady and being a destination location it attracts more than just the nearby cities.

Not seeing Leasing Specialist KPIs (calls/day, leads generated (referrals, inbound calls, outbound marketing), leases signed [which you covered], move-ins).

Hawaii has year-round tourism.

For example; targeting properties near major universities will allow you to tap into student housing tenants, targeting properties near hospitals will allow you to tap into the travel medical professional market, targeting properties near major attractions will allow you to tap into tourism and short term rental options.

Not to mention we have had a huge increase in both tourism, as well as people moving here.

thanks everyoneI am looking at zoned vacation rental condo's - like condolelsThere are many near the hotels that are long standing vacation rentals - zoned as such.I'm not looking at any residential airbnb type properties where special permits may be needed.This is strictly investment  - no stays or visits by me or friends.they are often called condotel's here as there is a front desk and check in - cleaning services somethings if you want.High taxes are a given - the main downside I see besides running them;) is if tourism slows dramatically - in this case they can legally be rented long term for a bit less.  

Year round tourism will help keep the occupancy high, provided you buy in the right location.
