If so I think the more important number is what you keep or net income.Try putting properties from different areas and price points in a spreadsheet and see were the best ROI is.Heavy tourist towns like Branson or Pigeon Forge would be places to look.

You will have to check and see what the STR regs are as the influx of tourists are nearly 3:1 to residents and they are always talking about it.Zion National Park gets 5m each year roughly.

There is no shortage of tourists and others seeking value.Con's:- Laws and rules.

Additionally, if you’re in a high tourist area, then you may want to consider renting for 30 days at a discount act like a short term rental.

Hi Neil, you need a “Tourist Rooming House Permit”.

You will find most rentals are weekends, as it's a tourist city, turnovers are Sundays, to mid week.

It is always confusing to me why a tourist driven town would restrict ways for people to visit and spend money.

Not that Omaha isn't a nice city, but you will get nowhere near the number of year-round tourists or gross revenue as you would in a vacation destination.2.

As for vacancy, I would expect a tourist lake to be slammed from Memorial thru Labor Day with a bit of a shoulder season on each end, and not much else in between,  

@Derek Fike Hampton Roads in Virginia includes 7 cities with tourist and government opportunities.Whether you're looking for short term, midterm, vacation rentals, tenants who could rent for multiple years or even decades.
