I'm in the same boat. 

So funny, im in the same exact boat as you.

New housing supply, inclusive of apartments, single family homes, house boats, mobile homes, and more, needs to match growing demand which has not been the case because of shortages across the country, which has not happened, prices will continue to increase.

Cars, credit cards, boats, bills etc.)If you do, I would pay that off, then take whatever is left and place in a high interest savings account until you find a property, I use Marcus by Goldman Sachs. 

The property is a lake house with a boat dock on a popular boating lake.

Many people are in your same boat and are just fine with borrowing from "portfolio" style loans.  

I am buying a waterfront condo (with a deeded boat slip I can rent) that I intend to airbnb/short-term and all the analysis seems to indicate I will do well.

No motor vehicles or things may be parked or placed on the Premises without our written consent including motorcycles, trucks, boats, trailer, motor homes, and storage containers.

I'm in the same boat as you, Frank, and couldn't agree more!

I have been crunching numbers on a boat load of properties and can't seem to figure out how to use "someone else's money" (as everyone says) and make it a profitable deal.
