they usually just paddle your butt first offense after that though it gets real. 

However, if work is needed on the property im up the creek without a paddle.

It really seems perfect for a tubing/kayak rental sort of business (my wife and I paddle quite a bit).

Real Estate investing is all about timing, recognizing market trends, knowing when it's too late to catch the incoming wave, and when it's too soon to paddle into the next one.

I know I'm probably (definitely) up a creek without a paddle (or a twig), but I'm sentimental.
