We rent the basement apartment for $1,000 a month.Long story short - we're not planning to jump ship on our careers right away.

You'd have Belizean employees, salespeople to market your teak, all the costs and regulations of shipping agricultural product internationally.

Those ships are very hard to turn around.I like businesses where there is a burning need to sell such as partnership split, death, health reasons, inherited family doesn't want it, retirement, other businesses need their attention where the capital outlay is greater and they are not doing well etc.I like the business to be open for decades and have strong profit.

I know there might be some Technicalities to getting owner ship of the home depending on the states and laws?

I flew out to NY to look at it, bought it and had it shipped back to Colorado.

It's ugly but best to take action immediately and try to right the ship.  

I run a pretty tight ship and I let the tenants know the good tenant is the one following the contract.

To the partner issue - 'the only ship that won't sail is a partnership'.  

Cruise ships do this in their cabins.  

And you have to buy on the water, with a pool and boat dock too.
