We then cleared the property, added a little dock on the water and some sod.

Flag ship property for our family and Company.

There is a book called "The Clipper Ship Strategy" by Richard Marbury that can be a guide to navigate government investment in local economies pre and mid downturn. 

The company is constantly sending me really good deals but the catch is you have to go to VA Beach to get it or have it shipped.

There are some great manufacturers out of Europe that ship to Caribbean ports.

- Do these things get shipped across country or do you find one locally?

It is about 25% more expensive than others, but I think it is worth it.50k for lost revenue, coverage for guests if they get injured away from the house, beach/dock insurance, bedbugs, etc.

Unless you really like where you are living or it would cost you a good bit more to live somewhere else, I'd say start packing.An additional consideration is that as other owners start to jump ship, it will become harder for a potential owner-occupier to get financing to buy your place.Best of luck.

Hire professionals to do it for you, much cheaper and quicker to profit.Now, I need to finish my book, How to Build A Space Ship, I'm going to fly people to the moon for vacations and I'm behind on building my ship. :) 

We have our dock area added to our policy.I'd talk to your attorney and insurance  carrier.
