Some of my advice you might quickly embrace, some of it you might not want to hear it........I don't know but if you want to build wealth, my advice might be helpful.  

I am only an aspiring investor, but I am a local resident of Niagara Falls, NY and I am hoping I can shed some light on your question about the winters:) I have worked in the tourism industry in the past, my husband still works in tourism.

It’s great to see someone embracing real estate after an accidental start.

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. 

That property is now a reliable source of rental income and a constant reminder that success starts with taking action, learning on the fly, and embracing challenges head-on.

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

Originally from Africa, I’ve embraced new opportunities to build a better future, and real estate is at the core of my financial freedom plan. 

The tourism authority has had some good information in the past about how many visitors come to each island and, of those visitors, how many book STRs.

The tourism demand is strong year-round, especially in beach towns like Panama City Beach or Destin.

This has been true about every technological change in the industry - those who fail or refuse to adapt lose while those who embrace new tech win.
