I do not want to go into another vacation market but rather a metro area with a more diversified economy again just to get into a different type of asset.That being said I do want to continue to short term rent the next few properties we get at least in the first few years of ownership in order to increase cash flow to combat these higher prices and carrying costs before potentially converting to more passive long terms down the line.Therefore I am looking for markets that 1) have a decent draw of visitors year round 2) have regulations that allow strs in some parts of the city 3) Are in growing cities in the west or south.Below is a list of markets I have identified as potential places to look and I was hoping to get some insight from either other investors doing the same thing or agents/investors in any of these markets on whether this is potentially a good market to explore or not.1) Salt Lake City (this is right at the top of my list due to its proximity to ski resorts, expanding of the airport and long term strategic business planning of the area but I have very little knowledge of this market)2) Denver 3) Phoenix (used to live in AZ and like the fact that the state of AZ seems to look favorable on strs)4) Tucson (see above but lower home prices/potentially less appreciation)5) San Diego/LA (these are attractive because of their proximity to my home in Irvine)6) San Antonio (love that it is very close to the booming Austin and feel that this is a market that could see some real growth in the future)7) Tampa/St Pete (I have always been very interested in this market for both short term and long term rentals)8) Raleigh (have invested in Charlotte and love NC but again very little knowledge on this area)Any insights or advice on any of this would be greatly appreciated.

We'd love to own something at a resort to use occasionally and rent out the rest of the year!

If all else fails, resort to "happy wife happy life".

(Study based on U.S Census Data) Free Parking Ends at Resorts World: Resorts World started charging for parking on June 1.

But surely those who goad the country and states to an abyss should be challenged in courts of law, the last resort of Citizenry to bring grievances and ask for righting the wrong. 

We are still fine-tuning but the price will include the entire conference experience: (3) nights at the all-inclusive resort + access to keynotes, breakout sessions, guided networking, opening event, closing event, exhibit hall, author signing, and more! 

I'm thinking I will speak with them about the possible damage first and use this as a second resort. 

Found a buildable lot in a gated resort community  seller is just wanting to get rid of after 13 years (seller is older and not using amenities any longer)   Lots are cheap, couple grand   Seller only used it for owners rights to play golf, pools, tennis etcWould cost me closing costs, $50 month hoa, $50 year taxesIs there a market for something like this? 

Is your property in one of the resorts (Champions Gate, Storey Lake, etc) or off in a private neigbhorhood?

Tulum has beautiful beaches, trendy restaurants and shops, and eco-friendly resorts that make it very popular.I'm wondering if anyone has insights into whether something like this could realistically be developed in Colombia?
