Waco has seen huge improvements here and with the increase in tax revenue from tourism (magnolia) the government has even more money to spend on that.7.

It is solely based on tourism, I agree the numbers only make sense if you get in early and can do the weekly rentals.  

Croix's economy (mainly tourism product) has not been as strong as the other two islands.

So I don't know where the initial owners are (there were 3 of them- from their names appeared to be extended family from Vietnam), but they are the ones that signed the disclosure form.

hi guys and gals I have a question my father wants to buy a home for my sister he already has a mortgage with the VA he's a Vietnam vet he doesn't have extra cash on hand he does make very good money 120k a year and he's just started getting s.s. benefits at 1400 a month the home he wants is 125k and the seller is taking off 12k because we know them and it needs a roof and other cosmetic fixes so selling price is 113k my sister wants to do more rehab and give it an open floor plan so about 50k what loans will give us the purchase price plus rehab?

Unfortunately, we don't have much of an employment base other than military and tourism.

Even areas on the coast that are economically dependent on tourism are enacting restrictions on STRs.

I might be more concerned if I had an STR in a place not high on tourism.  

Vacations are the first thing to go, which is why markets that depend on tourism are very sensitive to economic events.

I think that making rules like this in an area that is based around tourism is foolish.
