Everyone's investing journey is different based on their own situation and looking at all the factors like time, energy, life situation, and the raw numbers will guide your decision on the best investment for you. 

The people, guides, podcasts, forums in here contain all of that information, plus much more, for free.

I am hoping to plan a trip there next spring (about a year from now) with the intention to buy something.

We have so many dreams of being able to go on missions trips and help the poor and needy around the world!

Think about collaborating with a financial consultant or a real estate guide.

Can someone please guide me on what kind of property/ zoning will allow be to be used for that?

Here are a few I recommend: "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Roberto Kiyosaki; "Set for Life" by Scott Trench; "The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing" by Spencer; "The BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginners Guide" found here on BP; "The Book on Rental Property Investing" by Brandon Tuner.

Any advice to guide me on this thrilling decision-making ride?

It is likely that many of those travelers are booking multiple trips per year and the pet-allowing properties are getting the greater share of the stays.I'm interested in the source of the stats you quoted.

Searching for someone in the Miami area willing to guide me.Thank you so much for your advice!
