The problem with Costa Rica and Puerto Rico is that it is already an established tourism destination for surfing and I want to hit the best up and coming location so I can grow my real estate investments.... some good examples of well established surf destinations that were not "popular" and "surf tourist destinations" a decade ago is Nosara, Costa Rica and Rincon, Puerto Rico...

They certainly are not going to add your property to their list of available housing for students, but all gave me suggestions on how to advertise vacancies to inbound students, and note that many students (think professional studies) are adults with families, who are seeking accommodations that are family-friendly (one housing rep flat out told me that they run out of family accommodations months in advance and always get asked about help finding housing around the schools)...Food for thought.  

And since the Smoky Mountain area economy has been relying on the commerce of short term cabin rentals and tourism since the 60's, we feel pretty confident it would be one of the last municipalities to ever crack down on short term renting.  

When you see their product you will see why it stands out.On another note, I also use Ryan's service Call Porter to handle my inbound calls. 

Basing an STR on tourism or a large industry that uses traveling/temporary workers is a better idea.

But I've seen in other cases that the 2 water heaters located near one another are plumbed together on the inbound, or the bathroom plumbing is connected together on the cold water side.

It's more affordable and I think there is still enough tourism and business travel to make it profitable.

Tourism is up 12 % since last year, House Hunter International are just producing episode in Lake Atitlan.... if anybody interested in great investment opportunity will be happy to inform you..

The country has held democratically free elections since 1994 and have opened their economy to foreign investment and eco tourism as the benefits to the Costa Rican economy were obvious.

Out-bound and In-bound.
