Many of us accountants have clients worldwide.

However, if they're just being greedy, then you having a lower rate will surely help tourists flock to your listing.Again, be sure to look out for last-minute bookings!

Plus Charleston has huge tourist trade and high end tourist not a johnny lunch bucket crowd.

Bravo @Mike Bolen - - you got it - - it's a job, not an investment.VRs are seductive in the proforma stage of analysis, but the math doesn't behave like tourists and there can be extraordinary vacancies and very hi operational costs.People go to vacation spots for a reason;  winter sports, summer hiking & fishing. 

If someone comes to me, I'll send them your way.If you need help in your search or want to verify something don't hesitate to ask.For example: I have clients worldwide and things are just as easy as I e-mail them, talking on the phone.

Especially that were in Orlando which is a tourist city by nature.

Then I was thinking about buying a foreign investment property of two to rent out, thinking Thailand or Colombia, Panama. somewhere that is on the rise economically, and has plenty of room for growth in the tourist sector.

Your area and location will determine much of your revenue, looking at major cities, demographic, and distance from popular tourist attractions. as for the structures.

If regulations get enforced to remove illegal Airbnbs (they usually do in the long run), these legal STVR condos will be a great asset to own in high tourist demand area.

So in my biased opinion I would do STR if you have a tourist market or commercial if your looking passive long term.
