We do get people coming through for ETSU and Milligan graduations, temporary stays for the VA, and some tourism in the summer and fall but you're not going to stay heavily booked. 

Short-term rentals can be a great starting point, especially in markets with high tourism or business travel.

Quote from @JD Martin: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: Quote from @Matthew Drouin: Small wine town is all I needed to hear.Seasonal tourism is usually not a great industry in which to build a sustainable business.There are probably higher and better uses of your capital near high velocity metro areas.We have small wine towns near our city in the finger lakes region of western NY.  

Tourism is a growing segment, but by no means the city's main producer.

@Kegan SchollFrom my experience, if you're a 22-year-old house hacker, Texas and similar markets can be great for room rentals thanks to population growth, strong demand, and tourism.

Population and economic growth, strong tourism, proximity to other New England cities.

It’s a vacation destination with steady year-round tourism, and there are opportunities to find properties that cash flow well, especially centrally located condos or single-family homes in the $250k–$350k range.That said, the "right" market depends on your investment goals.
