@Christopher Benjamin, I'll share mine, but it's pretty rough.  

My biggest concerns are 1) the property is not exactly walking distance to the beach, and 2) the area looks a little crummy in spots with some trailers.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I will share some insights on both platforms and hopefully that will help you make an informed decision that suits you best. 

The other things you choose to pay for, inspector, termite inspection etc those are your choice...and you can just skip them and close eliminating the concern about option money.

My name is Jill, and I'm excited to share experiences, learn from each of you, and contribute however I can.

Virtually all basements are going to have water concerns, whether from high water table, moisture attempting to move from soil to concrete/concrete block to air, actual infiltration from walls, etc.

As a few others have shared, having a strategic plan in place before visiting properties is crucial to your future success.
