If there's a repair or capital expense like new water heater, might take a little more time with getting estimates. 

Overall, still a win.Even the property I was once under water on has now appreciated well above the purchase price and is now bringing in a good cash flow.

Very cool experiment you ran!

That's pretty cool, congrats!

We are under contract to sell it and supposed to close last week but the city will only issue a 2 DU cert because they "have no record of permits to convert the storefront into a residential coach house"We did a FOIA on the water records which came back with nothing, we are still waiting for the FOIA on the permit records but don't think it will give us anything because we talked to the seller from 1986 and he said the coach house was a storefront when they sold it. 

They have all utilities on the property so we use electrical and then every couple of weeks we run a water hose to an external tote we use for our water.

Water lines, yes.

When the current shifts against the swimmers, some people decide to get out of the water and sit on the shore until the water shifts in their favor.

Really cool way to do it so all parties have some skin in the game.  

Tampa you better be on the water.#2 Find a niche.
