I have boated over to Michigan City and New Buffalo several times form Chicago harbors.

The reason why  the tax free primary sales are. part of the equation is that they provide tax free cash to live on (or in our case buy the boat which spent a lot of time exploring the bottom of the Keys :).   

@Garrett Brown Boat loads of networking will get you to that point.

It's substantially cheaper than the rest of the state, has great healthcare, warm weather year-round, great mountain views, several golf courses, low taxes, and a huge reservoir for boating/fishing.

@Ayman Elmasik I think I'm in the @Samantha Klein boat where $50/day doesn't sound like something I'd want to argue for in front of a judge.  

@Steve Puglisi in the same boat and because this is not my sole income, I went with Evolve to manage guests

I'm in the same boat, I liquidated a few of my SF s and getting ready for syndication.

Purchase price: $305,000 Cash invested: $75,000 Lake Gaston waterfront property with an amazing boat house complete with bar.

I eventually had to chase him down through the Office Manager.The only reason I'm still with them is because I don't want to rock the boat and have the tenant go through any hassle in the course of transitioning out to a new manager.

I’m in a similar boat of having built up equity from a Bay Area home that I’m looking to leverage.
