You could take either approach because we are a tourist and military town. 

@Lain McCanless I just came across a 330k duplex in a premium/tourist focused area of Oklahoma City.

Vacation destinations - Regions frequented by tourists, such as beach or ski resorts, have year-round rental demand, and some of the highest returns on investment.2.

The Emerald Coast is a region of Florida known for its beautiful beaches, warm climate, and outdoor recreational opportunities, and it can potentially be a good location for building or flipping homes for a few reasons:High demand: The Emerald Coast is a popular tourist destination, attracting millions of visitors each year.

The good thing about you is that you have a lot of capital and you can invest in properties that will both bring in a lot of tourist on the STR front especially where I am in Tampa where people will pay a lot of money to stay.

I run a business that operates worldwide and I think I can do it.  

My 5 VRs, which I self manage remotely, are in the Pigeon Forge Gatlinburg area. 13 million tourists per year12 thousand residentsAlthough!

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.

Just today, Fed-Ex slashed earnings and gave a bleak outlook for the coming 12 months, and predicting a "worldwide recession."  

I highly suggest looking at tourists numbers for that area.
