When you've nailed your locations and found the (potential) properties, dig deep into the ideas that you have - Look at long/short term rent prices in those areas (competitor analysis), try to get some numbers about tourism to see whether an AirBNB even pays off (customer analysis), make sure there are reliable management companies around, how those properties could be financed, etc.3.

I was talking to someone in South Carolina who was a customer of my tourism business, she is a real estate agent.

We have about a million budget and are trying to decide between getting a tri or quadplex close to home for long term rentals and continue to self manage or invest in a short term vacation property up in the TN or NC mountains near a city with plenty of tourism (Gatlinburg, Asheville, etc.) what would you do and why??

@DA Nguyen Our tourism is driven by the National Park.

My Dad and his brother used to dirt bike throughout the dirt roads on the key before tourism took hold.  

It is only about 40 minutes to Disney, but most go to Mount Dora for the old Florida enjoyment away from blatant tourism of the plastic mouse ears.  

Huge hit to tourism for a while, worldwide.

I live in a booming market where tourism is big and retirees are moving to in droves.The cap rate renting all 4 units is around 11% and is 7% when I'm living in one of the units.

The problem with Orlando in general is that it is such a service based economy due to the tourism and service industry.

I want to be more aggressive and start receiving inbound calls rather than call outbound.
