Focus on truly STR-friendly areas like parts of Woodstock or Hudson, where regulations support tourism.

I have not looked at apartments, but the condos I have researched have a minimum 30-day lease requirement, so be aware of that.One concern I have with short-term rentals is that they are dependent upon tourism.

in addition to the military growth the tourism from our emerald coast beaches is flourishing. 

Although the Burnt Store areas are seeing somewhat sustainable demand for owner-occupied properties, we're currently still not seeing enough support for activities that would draw tourism into that area.

Then research local regulations and tourism and data.

Places like Tampa, FL, Boise, ID, Asheville, NC, Detroit, MI, and Columbus, OH are seeing growth in tourism and demand, making them great options for STR investments. 

I’ve considered multifamily or duplexes, but from what I’ve heard, they’re unideal right now, so I’m leaning towards STRs.I’ve put together a list of areas that seem STR-friendly with good tourism appeal, and I’d love to get feedback from people who know the San Antonio market well.

Hurricane Helene prevented us from hitting $200k revenue this year since the interstate got shut down for major repairs and tourism traffic suffered this last couple of months which are always the best months.

I want my occupancy (and revenue) to be maximized so, for me, it's very important to have something unique that the other places don't have so my condos will stay rented throughout the low season and in case of a downturn in tourism.
