The eviction came about after this management company essentially held the house ransom stating they would not vacate the property unless I wire transferred funds to meet their $3,650 demand.

I would say I lean more towards cities, in case it ever needs to be turned into an LTR, but am open to more vacation-centric destinations.Any advice is much appreciated, thanks! 

If you are in the vacation rental business, spending even a nickel on SEO is a complete waste of money. 

The right of first refusal, while I do not oppose that in general, was set up in a way that will cause landlords to vacate their buildings before listing to avoid having to go through the uncertainty and months of limbo with tenants. 

You can also use a different programs if your building a Primary Home, Vacation Home or Investment rental.There are a lot of great builders in Ohio and its end of year so you might be able to get in on a discount since they may still have some inventory left over.

Can I provide that exemption to him with his notice to vacate in 60 days so I can prepare the home for sale? 

IMHO; UD actions are preventable actions caused by tenants failure to vacate the premises. 

Renting as a vacation rental might work during hunting season but there really isn't much to do there that would attract vacationers in the winter.

They would like to keep the timeshare as they are reaching a point where they want to take more frequent vacations and it would help cover the cost of those trips.

Like Rob says, he buys places that he wants to live and can vacation in at some point.
