@Willy Lew Seattle multi families are mostly over-priced, the big CAP rates in my experience are in large (6-8 bed or more) SFRs rented to young professionals by the room or STRs to tourists and business travelers.

@James Matuschka Not sure where in Louisiana you're from, but I like CO much more in terms of long-term appreciation and general attraction for visitors and tourists.

I just know that I want to cater to tourists.

From what I understand - starting November 7 - said platforms will not allow properties without tourist development tax and business tax receipt numbers to advertise on their sites.  

Jobs, wine vineyards, local beers, diverse foods, sports. 

My wife is originally from Port Alberni while I'm a 'tourist' that came over from Vancouver ;)I do know there are a great number of benefits from holding an agent's licence such as direct MLS access, an awesome network (other agents and professionals, builders, etc..).

Is blue ridge strong enough or should I simply pay more to go where the tourists are and keep looking primarily at the smokies?

I have A very Good understanding of the Land and Tourist Attracting, I think we could work with each other on a few deals i have lined up.  

I have never done this, but I know that grapes take like 7 years of growing to create grapes that are good for wine, I also know that if a solar company wanted land, they would want to lease it for like 20 years, so they make money on the investment.
