@Caleb Heimsoth By “retire”, do you mean sipping pina coladas on a beach in Aruba?

i bought a property which was great in many ways and terrible in many other ways.its near the river, near the zoo, four schools, 2 shopping plazas, 20 minutes from the beach, 10 minutes from the train station, 40 minutes from a major university, 5 minutes from a major hospital, 5 minutes from the nearest commercial hub, 40 minutes from another major city and has great tourism industry, commercial hub and everything is a tick EXCEPT the fact that when I purchased the house, it was a sad little brick house in a sad little part of town, with sad qualities and below average appeal.

The Hampton Roads area is a pretty big tourist area in the summertime, particularly VA Beach so I expect a big bump around then.Any advice or tips for running the Airbnb would be greatly appreciated!

We've all heard of the big dog tourist destinations like Myrtle Beach/Smokies/Miami/Destin/Pensacola/Nashville etc.... but what are some not so well known tourist destinations that may make a big splash in 5-10 years?

That being said, I'm still interested for the right price and the right location (ie beaches).

Out on the west end is beach rentals. 

These places are about a mile from the beach, close freeway access, and they are building a brand new resort/hotel on the water about 1.5 miles from this area.

This accommodates summer beach rentals and 9 month Student rentals. 

Let me know if you need referrals in San Diego or the Newport Beach area.

Hi Guys,I know this is a bit of an unorthodox post for BP, but I'm moving to San Diego to start work on 1 April and am searching for housing/apartment sharing options in La Jolla/Del Mar/Pacific Beach/University City.
