Destin gets back into the tourist activities again with water parks and of course goofy golf.  

It will not approve an FHA mortgage for boarding houses or hotels  (tourist dwellings, bed and breakfast, etc.).

I calculated roughly that if I get 19 nites / 5 months of tourist season I could do that?

Do it in a tourist area that likes you and respects you!

How is the tourist industry there (Hotels?

The idea dawned on me that I could possibly rent a condo or apartment in a nice area of Miami (close to the areas where the tourist come for like the beach, downtown, bayside, brickell, wyndwood) and actually rent it out on Airbnb in hopes of making enough money to pay the lease and then some as Zeona mentions she did in the past.

I don't see Hollister as a huge tourist destination but I have  seen a couple people in the area listing just a single room for 65.00 a night. 

Not so much in the east valley though but those venues do bring in a lot of tourists so keep that in mind.  

Greetings,My wife and I purchased a house in a small community (mainly in a tourist industry because of the Lake of the Ozarks but our house is not on the lake) almost 12 years ago.  

There are several refineries there plus it is a tourist location.
