From our conversations, it doesn't look like he really wants to learn all the ins and outs of real estate, but likes the investment vessel more than some others at the moment.

I form the LLC ahead of time, so it sits as a vessel until ready.

I work 12 hours a day on a vessel for a month at a time, with two weeks in between trips.

Worked on the Crew Boats and Supply Vessels in almost every Port from Mississippi to Brownsville Texas and got my 300 and 500Ton Captains licenses to work in Brazil where I own some rentals.

A diver knows to follow the bubbles if they get confused on which way is up in an underwater cavern, or sunken vessel.

The work they are doing is considered non-essential, sandblasting and painting storage vessels.

But now that we are aware of real estate being a vessel to building wealth and time freedom for the family, I’m trying to figure out the best strategy in San Diego, if there is one to consider. 

Even if you're not interested, they're worth contacting for informational purposes to get a better understanding of the market.SFHs and condos are obvious choices, but there are other less expensive options: mobile homes- not the working class MHPs found throughout the country, there are parks that cater to snowbirds RV/campers- there are folks who drive down yearly and others that leave it permanently parked down here liveaboards- this can be very cheap, the vessel doesn't even need to be seaworthy (so long as it floats :)Florida can have an almost irresistible appeal this time of year.

My day job is a project manager for marine vessel construction at shipyards ($20-$60m projects), so I am familiar with delay penalties.  

When I graduate this June, I will have a service obligation of 5 years to the maritime industry on U.S. seagoing vessels.
