Buy and hold houseboats?
Hi all,
I'm curious if anyone has any experience buying and renting out houseboats? I know there are slip fees (if the slip isn't included in the purchase price) and I'd be shocked if there weren't some sort of HOA fee to pay for docks, walkways, garages, and depending on the marina utilities.
On the positive side, you get waterfront property and a unique draw for tenants. There is a fair amount of waterfront in Portland and a lot of sweet architecture on that waterfront. I don't see many of them come up for rent so don't have as much information to pull from.
Does anyone here hold and rent houseboats?
Thanks,
Mathew
