These types of unique attractions tend to hold up better even in a down economy with well-to-do travels coming from far away, even when local more budget conscious folks need to curb their spending.Short of that, like @Michael Baum mentioned, anything in a good market that can set you apart from the competition is always a plus (waterfront, beachfront, etc…) The competition can always keep pace with you by adding a game room, hot tub, etc… But they’re not making more waterfront.Good luck!

Unless you are veteran you'll likely need do to 3.5% down payment then on top of that have room for closing cost which tend to be over $10K.
