I went from growing up in a hut in Vietnam and spending my early years in Section 8 housing in the U.S. to now owning four cash-flowing properties (8 units) across three states.

With growing tourism and lower competition, it’s a great way to maximize cash flow.- Creative Financing: Partnering with other investors, seller financing, or using HELOCs can help scale your portfolio faster while preserving your capital.- Land Development: Got an eye for raw land?

Isn't that basically how the city makes all of it's money is tourism?

I’ve considered multifamily or duplexes, but from what I’ve heard, they’re unideal right now, so I’m leaning towards STRs.I’ve put together a list of areas that seem STR-friendly with good tourism appeal, and I’d love to get feedback from people who know the San Antonio market well.

Unlike Vegas, where tourism can be hit-or-miss depending on conventions or events, Florida’s Panhandle delivers steady demand every season.

This surge in tourism and job creation makes now an ideal time to capitalize on the rising demand for both long- and short-term rentals. 

Maui, for example, has been a great place to own vacation rentals historically, but we've seen a huge dip in tourism in the wake of the fires.

That market is recovering, but with covid still taking a stranglehold on the Country and tourism, you need to have the numbers work as a long term rental also.

Great hosts will be good neighbors, will contribute to local tourism and will pay their taxes and permit fees* A major area to improve on the proposal is the 1 hour time-limit for resolving complaints.

This is particularly beneficial in popular tourist areas where demand for short-term lodging is high.Flexibility: Owners can choose when to rent their property, allowing them to use it personally during off-peak times.Support for Local Tourism: STRs provide a unique lodging option for tourists, helping to boost the local economy by attracting visitors who may prefer a home-like stay over traditional hotels.Diversification for Investors: STRs provide real estate investors with an additional income stream, especially if they own properties in tourist-heavy areas.Cons:Strict Regulations and Higher Fees: San Antonio recently updated its STR regulations.
