Hey @Brett Baker, generally, any place with a great water view or directly on the water will bring more revenue.Of course profitability will all be based on purchase price and prevailing nightly rates in the area.If you find a cool 2/2 or 3/2 right on the water with a great view for 1.5m or a 2/2 or 3/2 house a block away for 600k, then I would look at the house over the condo.

house hack is possible. base way to get feet wet

We manage 300+ units, I've flipped over 75+ houses in the past 3 years, and I currently own 28 long term rentals.   

You've probably heard of big Landlords losing property, but only because they were flagrantly violating Fair Housing, running a slum, or otherwise egregiously violating the law.

If one of the greatest investors of all time believes stocks are overvalued, this may be an opportune time to shed some risk and move into a more tangible asset like real estate.The Rochester housing market is a great place to consider for investment.

Then start shopping for houses, don't engage in FOMO or real estate agent pressure. 

Im no legal expert but belief if you get foreclosed on 2nd home and you still owe money they can come put lien/go after first house.

Paying those things benefits you because they facilitate STUFF exiting the house. 

I am a wholesaler looking to also break into house hacking, brrrr strategy, and eventually fix and flips.I am in west TX areaWhere in Tx are you currently and what strategies do you employ? 

Geographically locally where is your house in the landscaping?
