It sounds like you and Preston are in the same boat. 

Every year, our family and friends go to Parker, AZ for boating and camping.

Most lenders are in that same boat. 

Doing 1, 3 and 10 year planning to make sure that our team is all rowing this boat in the proper direction has helped tremendously.

Converting a Kmart to a self storage -- interesting concept.Do you use the parking for boat and RV storage?

@Steve Elling I'm in this boat at the moment.

Don't forget, it's an island and everything has to be brought in by boat.

I think a lot of people are setting themselves up for disaster with these types of financials unless they have a boat load of cash available to cover the infrequent but inevitable capital expenditures. 

@Courtney Michael I'm somewhat in the same boat as @Janet Voss as I live in California but invest in central Arkansas.  

I had this offer on a 5 acre tract in Northern CA.. the Agent this time listing agent was gone and no one was covering for him and he was going to be gone for 2 weeks well being 25 and highly motivated I figured out who owned it.. and contacted them directly and told them Hey your agent is non responsive so I am calling you.. ( somewhat of a violation I know but at 25 and hungry I did not care)  We put the deal together the seller liked my gumption and he turned out to own a software company in Silicon Valley lived in a mansion in Los Altos hills and we ended up doing deals together before he bought his 100 foot sail boat and left the country to sale the world..
