This will drive how much you can borrow.Consider More Modest Options FirstWith $200k in investments to deploy, look at starting with 1-2 short-term rental properties first to gain experience before scaling up.Explore markets closer to your mom's current location that may have lower costs but still tourism appeal.This allows you to validate the model and your ability to operate short-term rentals successfully before risking more capital.The short-term rental concept could potentially work, but I would recommend starting with a smaller, very well-researched first step to validate the model before going all-in on a larger endeavor.

Preferably one that is already zoned for business/tourism like my Disney property.You're just asking for trouble otherwise.

But also very much discovered.Both places are not unknown to international tourism. 

Hard to find better appreciation rates than in historically hot tourism destinations.

We can feel it! The Bourbon Trail will surpass Napa Valley in revenue generated this year as well!

Florida: Pros: No state income tax, favorable eviction laws, and a strong rental market driven by tourism and population growth.

Like everywhere else, investing is first and foremost about numbers.While you generally don't run the regulatory risk like you would in the US, Mexico City might be the exception and I would stay away.Tulum is being completely overbuilt so I'm not sure how you could be profitable long term there.Merida doesn't have all year-round mass tourism buy maybe focusing on a niche could work.Puerto Vallarta is great but it's become much pricier lately so you might need to find a deal if you want a decent return.Hope this helps!

I have a MTR/STR in Arlington, we have hospitals nearby for travel nurses and plenty of tourism that brings people to the area.  

Tourism is very big industry in my country , we have a few of the big brands like Hilton, Banyan tree , Four seasons etc..you can find some additiona linfo herefour seasonsyou can see their details in the link below, the price of the villas a re pretty high. http://www.petiteansedevelopments.com/res_detail.phpi have a few properties posted on this pagehttp://agent.4321.co.il/agent59913.aspxand a website i am working onhttp://rlarchitecturepropertyseychelles.weebly.com/

@Florsabel De La RosaPunta Cana gets two thirds of the country's tourism but most tourists go there for the all-inclusive resorts so you have pros and cons and a lot of the money has already been made there.I prefer the North Coast indeed  and specifically Las Terrenas and the Samana Peninsula.
