I am in the same boat you are and have been connecting with people on BP over the last several months in order to learn and see what relationships grow organically. 

I'm in the same Mac boat, which software did you use?

WOW that is a cool location based on the Arial  can you get out to the River / Bay with your boat ?

I didn't even think of the property line thing...I would be in the same boat as I'm on a narrow lot so I would want it as close to the property line as I can...Who should I call to start this process? 

Steve I was at a lodge up in Alaska and there was a nice meadow between lodge and the doc were the boats were..

@Anthony WickI’m in nearly the same boat not enough income and discouraged because disputes the rhetoric no money Is a real pain.

I have taken and Airplane   a Mercedes and a Boat  few other odd items as trade for real estate .. with the airplane being the best one.. but its hard to get them to do that because most that want cash and all I had to trade was vacant building parcels.. so with cash flow that might be different but they would have to come up with cash to settle your mortgage or put a loan on it to take your mortgage out.. you don't want to sell sub too in that instance as its fraught with seller risk and it will impinged your ability to get new financing.. 

You don't really want to be in the boat of managing one SFR from a thousand miles away (it may different if you had a few), and then have your section 121 exemption "expire", and have to pay taxes on the gain.

Sounds like we are in the same boat.

@Stephen Diaz I am in the same boat as you are currently and the way I solved my issue was I went through a hard money lender and then took out a secured personal loan to come up with the down payment.
