The Bend cash flow ship sailed back in 2012/2013.

I have been looking at the possibility of shipping boat south ($~3000) renting/buying a slip ($~4000 per year) and Airbnb ing ($80-150 nt.???)

Has anybody tried any of those online wholesale companies where they ship the unit local and you get a local installer?

I won't bore or gross you out with details but if you run a tight ship then you should be making good money.

I have a few storage tanks and some shipping containers to store equipment.

No getting around their rules as they run a tight, but slow ship.

@Sean Cole  its regional for sure.. the ones I had in MS and AL  feed us the deals.. but lots of deals there ... its funny as we talk about this.. some parts of the country there are still plenty of deals others its very tight the deal ship has sailed and its basically pre 07 market.. one size does not fit all.in Oregon we have little to no OREO inventory anymore all those agents that specialized in it are out of business and back to doing regular real estate.. the foreclosures at court house that were 20 to 50 a week are down to 3 or 4.. with MASSIVE competition.. it all cycles that's for sure.. but I bet you can still roll into certain big cities and buy hang over inventory..

But I disagree with the child changing things :)  We cruised for 10 years on a 53 ft ketch with three boys  and picked up one more on the way! 

Then your property becomes neglected and a pain and you end up selling to someone who knows how to run a tighter ship and knows how to get your asset to perform properly.

Has anyone jumped ship from their 9-5 and realized it was a horrible mistake or think they could have held onto a W2 for a little longer?
