@Nathan Harden is spot on and this is something we do as often as possible.

It doesn't take long to learn how to spot a good deal.6.

Could look at Food Truck rental spots. 

The answer to this question will take into account your mother's goals on how the money needs to work, transition plans in the future, risk tolerance, asset segment preferences (retail, industrial, MF, self-storage, etc.), and many other factors.

We even joked about student housing and other industry quirks.

The problem I see my clients get into with vacation rental purchases when the intent is to get something they can enjoy as well is that many times they get tired of going to that one spot. 

This attracts people wanting to book "gatherings" and will have up to 10 people sleep wherever they find a spot, if we don't intervene. 

I’ve been doing a ton of research on it as I’ve been looking at Italy myself so I have been focused on the less densely populated but still very popular travel spots like Tuscany outside of Florence and Sicily though I’m nervous about Sicily and their major drought issues.

If you know New Hampshire well and what the hot spots and activities are there’s many areas with year round demand.
