I remember reading another one of your posts a few months back explaining why you chose the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area, because the economy  in that area revolves around tourism so you know you won't be royally screwed over by regulations or the recession.

Hi BP Community,We are selling our property in the country side of Portugal (Constância, 1 hour away from Lisbon), and would love to ask you guys if you know anyone or any investment fund that is looking at acquiring these types of properties overseas.It is a rural tourism property with great history, currently used as a 10 bed boutique hotel.Below some additional details:Location: Quinta de Santa Bárbara 2250-092 Constância, PORTUGALSize: 38,410 m2 (413,441 sq ft) of land, and 3,200 m2 (34,444 sq ft) built areaCondition: working hotel with 8.9 rating in Booking.comNumber of bedrooms: 10 (project to increase capacity to 21 rooms)Restaurant, bar, swimming pool, tennis court, small gym, space for events with 200 people capacityPrice: €1,950,000 ($2,261,970 at today's exchange rate)It is surrounded by famous historical landmarks (such as "Fátima", or "Convento de Cristo"), and it has an historical background. 

While I prefer coastal cities such as the ones you mentioned, I was also considering Cuenca and Guayaquil as well since they appear to be pretty popular cities to live in and tourism.

The article doesn't talk about the details of the cost of customized container home, but since I have a direct relationship with the container manufacturing company in Vietnam which has done a lot of this type of project, I know the number is low and make a lot of sense. 

In the summer, tourism is huge as it's a Cruise Ship Port and in winter the legislature comes to Juneau for session.

Did you know that the murder rate in Cancun is lower than that in NYC or LA and that the murder rate for visitors is extremely low (hence the tourism has been growing by leaps and bounds over there).

She also moved in a month early, before I even had a chance to remove my Mom’s stuff because she said she was scared her old landlord (who was a Vietnam vet) had ptsd and would shoot her.  

The appreciation was nice, but I still see it as a boom and bust, tourism driven town.

All high tourism areas, but I've visited and stayed in ones off the beaten path like yours and loved it.

Intel has there largest employee base here so they CANT leave  tourism and AG and you know how switched on those AG folks are.. then you have the PDX  inner city folks  Keep Portland weird just watch Portlandia it is not far from the truth and actually I would say is a pretty good representation of many of our esteemed residences..
