It’s business as usual other than safety precautions.

Be patient.   

Be as wise as you can be...be patient...FIND A MENTOR AND USE THEM...but at some point you actually have to buy something.At least have a basic plan in place first...1.

I see this as a safety hazard if nothing more (fire depratment issue, stray animals taking up residence. someone playing in it and getting hurt, etc).I've checked the lease and there is nothing in there about not storing boats/vessels.

You also have to stay patient.

Get your handyman to walk through with you.. it's always good to have a second pair of eyes.5  be patient.. no deal is better than a bad deal.Good luck..

The properties that are less stellar performers can be sold or kept free and clear to stay more conservative on them with the higher cash flow as a safety net.There's huge benefits in negotiations when you're a cash buyer, I love when I'm in the position to be a cash buyer.Banks suck. 

You should ALWAYS run your numbers in worst case scenario and even then add a buffer for safety.

For your safety, security and for legal reasons I'd separate the two. 

Do you know that if you have active leaks, safety issues, etc. many lenders will not approve a loan?
