I am looking at Destin, FL and these sites are putting out numbers for a 2/2 condo as generating 40-50k in revenue a year on AirBNB.

Next you want a destination area. 

My initial goals are to acquire a vacation rental or two to generate a little cash flow( Myrtle beach or Destin).

This is also a smaller strip center with a couple of regional tenants, and the other being "destination" type mom and pop businesses, on the busiest street in town.

Does anybody have any vacation/rental property in Destin Florida?

But the difficulty is that they need to be built one off each from a different approach to be effective - Finance, Sales realization and expense, operation Expense, NOI, ROI, and ROE, and appreciation.I'm going to sound like some kind of mountain dwelling mystical sensei but if you focus on the destination you can see the various paths that get you there. 

When eldest graduates in 2 years, we will move and are looking at NC as a destination.

I live near the Fingerlakes which is a great tourist destination.

Not sure of this will change the pocono problem but thought I’d share. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pahomepage.com/news/work-begins-for-pocono-springs-massive-entertainment-destination/amp/
