Augustine seems like a larger tourist destination and wedding destination.

However, if you've ever been one block off any major tourist attraction - the strip in Vegas is a good example - it's still quite run down and destitute. 

The overview : 1) Location is in a small town (under 10,000) on the border to Black Hills and all the tourist attractions.  2) Property is commercial zoned, sits on a corner and also borders a river and one of the main highways into town, and could be used as a small RV park (has been in the past).  

My rental opened July 1 and was booked solid for the tourist season.

Some of the things that aren't as necessary for a STR but very important for a MTR:Washer and dryer, obvious reasonsDresser drawers so guests don't have to live out of their luggage Fully stocked kitchen since they'll be more likely to cook mealsLocal recommendations that locals use rather than tourist spots

Basically, they suggest leasing a property for the long term and then renting it out on a short-term basis to travelers, tourists, or even friends.

The great thing about Chattanooga is there are plenty of places to buy that are convenient to tourist destinations while being outside those areas with current restrictions!  

The city has long been a regional tourist destination with the Guadalupe River and the Schlitterbahn waterpark.
