Lots of industries work this way--music, movie, sports.  

My 2 boys play on the same sports teams as their kids.  

Las Vegas will have its first major national sports team (NHL), Faraday Future is a new electric car company that is building a huge manufacturing facility, (not putting a lot of emphasis on this because it can possibly flop you know like Fisker).

And what makes it fun is that real estate is a team sport.

I'd think you could make a killing there during snow bird season, or hey get a condo cheap somewhere close to the beach and do the same strategy or a condo close to Raymond James stadium or whatever they call it now and cater to sports fans - know it would only be a few home games but anyways you definitely likely have more options than you did in Wichita.Congrats on the move and enjoy whats left of this beautiful winter weather down there and then button down the  hatch for Hurricane season...ha - I went through Wilma when I lived in Cape Coral and stayed in the house - was a cool experience and you'll get to laugh at all the Floridians that think high winds and rain are a big deal. 

And, she got to grow her network through them by playing a sport she loved!

Remember this is a contact sport.

Another place to look for STRs could be large college towns with a passion for college sports. 

And never ever buy if the numbers don't work; leave emotion at the sports stadium :)Once you have sufficient cash, you can get the BRRRR train rolling and cycle that cash in & out of buy-and-hold properties and refinancing.

And also consider a market that can support major sports teams that have a loyal following, like a hockey team, basketball team, football team, tourist attractions like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
