Unless I glossed over it - I'm at ch5 now though.Anyway, one of my friends is about to close on a property in Twentynine Palms, which he says is 'exploding' as far as visitors/tourism is concerned.

It is like most of rural Missouri, but it t has tourism and Table Rock Lake to set it apart.

I feel like there's going to be a lot of competition no matter where I pick in San Antonio, but I'm in it for the long haul and will embrace the challenge.

Rent prices are on the rise and more and more nashville natives are moving this way to get away from the tourism.

I assume that cities more in line with tourism will be hit harder than others, but Charlotte doesn't fall into the tourism category.At the end of the day I know that cash is king.  

I have my brother who moved to Dubai a year ago, he's bought 2 condos so far, the appreciation is great, but the greatest part is all the plans that the government has in terms of development, tourism, economy and population.

One thing a wealthy person embraces is the concept that you have to spend money to make money. 

Furthermore, nice job on managing your affairs and embracing the opportunity your situation affords you. 

I've done a lengthy amount of research on the market and feel confident on the AirBnB regulatory environment, tourism demand, etc.Listed price- $229K, realtor thinks we can get it lower (on market for a while) Projected cash on cash ROI- 57%Current amount of my own cash saved: $42KI'm trying to get pre-approved fairly quick so I can put in an offer this weekend (there's one more offer).

The amount of tourism in the small town is pretty incredible.
