It was even voted one of the best states to retire on top of being great for investing whether it's Northern Virginia or Hampton Roads in Virginia which includes 7 cities with tourist and government opportunities.Whether you're looking for short term, midterm, vacation rentals, tenants who could rent for multiple years or even decades.

There are always military doctors, nurses and tourists wanting STR's in the area because of work, Fiesta, conventions, and the Spurs games!

It's a very popular destination known to attract snow birds and tourists from all over the world because of our warm winters, spring training months, golfing, hiking and all of the other amazing things Phoenix is known for.

As an agent who invests in and believes in STRs in Scottsdale, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the winter, I would be happy to provide my take on the market.Your property options include SFRs and townhouses/condos.

It has a lot of the draws - close city center, great tourist traffic, good weather, reasonably inexpensive property (although it sounds like that changing).Our STRs and AirBnB's here in Washington State are booking up like crazy as well - especially those with cabin / forest vibes. 

The total real estate appreciation over the past 8 years has been recorded at 102.77%.There’s also a fantastic tourist community here, which drives great demand for Airbnb and VRBO rentals.

@Tony Wooldridge  little best kept secret in the wine world....

I feel that the real estate market will be tough in a small percentage of the markets that depend on restaurants/tourists as the foundation for the economy.

Not ever seller will value this, but when they think about it some might...and for some it will be a big relief.When I was thinking of buying in Bay area 20 years ago and there might be 70 offers on a property, people got real creative with what they did to woo sellers...flowers, wine, airline tickets, vacation stays, etc. 

Successful STRs work in a wide variety of places beyond tourist destinations.
