Can you provide guidance on how to get started and some effective strategies?

The PE investment feeding frenzy that started up 15 years ago as TOH parks started getting gobbled up is starting to slow as supply tightens. 

Another lesson is to research companies online and in forums like this before you do business with them and if you decide to do business with someone, dip your toe in the water slowly and continue to research the company after you start working with them, because things can change quickly.I have some questions:1. 

other posters have started threads saying they're going to buy STRs for tax savings... and this doesn't make sense to me.  

You don't have to spend a fortune and buy a house directly on the beach to do well, but your starting price point for a viable option in this market is around $350-$450k for a solid 2-3 bedroom oceanfront condo or around $500k for a 3-4 bedroom house within walking distance of the beach. 

Write it up to an education, spend some time sharpening your support team (particularly in the trades) and start thinking about how you can do it again!

You'll find everything you need to get started in the forums.

Many started off in 2010 - 2019 with downhill terrain and the wind at their back.
