But California is already a tourist state and did well even though the lakers were terrible last year(Kobe fan here).

Asheville is a great place to invest in my opinion- and I may be biased.Our tourist economy doesn't seem to slow down and is year round.

Las Vegas Nevada - Very close to CA so I can either drive or fly short distance- No income tax- Can be maybe used for vacation rental- Low Property Taxes*** Worry is economy is heavily based on casino/hotel so if there is a downturn in the economy potentially have a lot of vacant properties in the area due to laid off/less tourist/etc *** Slight concern that I have is that I look at number of renters/landlord ratios (is it owner occupied or for investment?).

  - I'm sure you've thought of this already, but your town doesn't have to be tourist-heavy to be a good airbnb location - I've seen wildly successful short term rentals located near universities and hospitals and nowhere near a tourist destination. 

But as i will manage the property i think will be better and easier the long term rent by at least one year contract for family from here, than make shorts rentals for tourists.

Everyday new properties are listed that are perfect for investors worldwide. 

According to the Tampa Bay Times:"The only way around the short-term rental ban is if a homeowner can show that their home had been used as a tourist rental prior to the passage of the 2006 ordinance, had been continuously used as a short-term rental since then, have a city occupational license and have paid sales tax on all rental income.If they cannot do that, and few can, homeowners faces potential fines of $250 a day if they fail to comply."

They believe things will go well (world wide) for the next year or so and then turn around to a negative.

For example Orange County, FL has a combined tax of 12.5% (6% state transient rental tax + .5% County Sales Surtax + 6% Tourist Development Tax).

I get why some neighbors don't like it since brings in tourists, but tourists aren't the problem, if anything, they are helping the Denver economy overall and in turn helping the neighbors property values long-term.
