Hopefully over time more trust will be established and you can pay more conveniently.

I don't have this venture fully executed yet, I'm in the exploration/research phase of it but the plan is to dock it at the marina (where they have a convenient store & ice cream shop/picnic area and as far as renovation, I'm still learning that but my thought is that we can do higher quality materials and finishings since the square footage is so much smaller. 

Hey @Nik Satterfield - Househacking is interesting in that you need to balance the convenience of the location to your lifestyle with its rental potential- you will have to live there for a year before converting it to a full rental and doing it all over again. 

(Sigh).I write back and state this information is in the ad but if it is more convenient they can email me their phone number (or call my number in the ad) and we can discuss this further.The next email I get I'm called "unprofessional" and because of this, they will continue to look elsewhere for rental property.There were many replies that ran through my head at the time but I just wished them good luck in their search for a rental.
