Aside from that, the older houses in established neighborhoods, close to revamped downtowns, or area tourist attractions seem to be more popular.

San Marcos is a college town, home of Texas State University, and a popular tourist destination, making it a prime spot for short-term rentals.I would highly recommend investing in a short-term rental in San Marcos.

The negatives of STR typically show in markets that while they are tourist spots have other primary drivers or a larger resident to tourist ratio.

Big part of Wilmington and Whitemarsh Islands is in unincorporated Chatham county territory and perfectly located between downtown and the beach which attracts most of the tourists.

The beaches are beautiful and it’s a great tourist destination. 

Tourist destination, Cornell and Ithaca College are 5 miles apart, job growth and real estate development.

Properties/condos that share amenities with a hotel are less likely to change their STR policies (controlled by HOA) as short term renters do not affect how the overall property functions.I like the market economics, YOY rent growth, and the fact it is a travel hub, becoming more influential destination in nationwide and world business, and is essentially a year round tourist destination.Would be open to other areas of Florida but in my opinion they don't share equal demand drivers.

You can definitely something in your price range in the right area, although many properties will be way more expensive.One of the great things about the rental market in Playa del Carmen is that seasons have become less pronounced over the years, as the market isn't only dependant on Americans and Canadians, which still form the majority of tourists.

I would like to build a building here with mainly studios and rent them out to tourists using AirBNB and this should be my retirement or at least a good stable income.

The Adirondacks, Catskills, and Fingerlakes are tourist regions.
