House hacking is a great way to get started.

Fortunately for me, I started investing a time in the market where everything went up.  

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. 

And start the two year clock ticking again. 

@Ryan Leake i like that idea as well, we do have some priorities we are working at before we start to see what a new app might look like but we once we get to that point we'll definitely keep the community up to date on announcements.Thanks for the feedback

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. 

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!

House hacking is a fantastic way to start, but preparation is key.
