The Twin Cities are not a high tourism or travel area.

This ruling seemed outrageous to me (and many others) in a location where STRs/tourism is so prevalent.

My area is susceptible to hurricanes and is influenced by tourism, and I'd like to get into a few different markets over the next few years. 

There is a good amount of tourism and you are likely to have low occupancy if you price the unit right and have a location closer to the beach. 

Clearwater is a strong tourism market so maybe even turn it into a vacation rental 

So we followed a tried and true method of REI (buy a multi with an FHA) and our success was elevated by the high tourism traffic and high real estate appreciation rates in our area.

I like living in Burbank, but the properties are really expensive and due to the tourism in the area it seems that that would be a decent vacation area which I am not ready to work with yet.

The crowd that Mammoth attracts changes with the seasons, but we have really high tourism year round.

Depending on the tourism market, that could take you any where from a few weeks to a few months.  

@Mark Miles you’d be surprised at how much money the tourism industry brings in in Duluth.
