I'm in a more tourist destination but now is as good a time as any to get into AirBnB. I'm in the process of finishing my basement off into a mother in law suite for AirBnB and then I'll buy another house and do the same to it. I expect to retire within the next 3-5 years depending on how many houses I can get under myself. I just got into this house 2 years ago, always meaning to do the buildout myself but constantly hit time constraints so I hired it done and got a home equity line of credit based on what the house will value at completion. Out here in Rapid tourist season height is May-2nd Week of Sept. November is a slow month but there is plenty to be made even in Sioux Falls with all the traveling nurses needing a short term stay. Out here a friend has a house split to two units and a he showed me his income off of one unit last June was $20k for the month. Could be something to look into.
