They had to out reel their catch in or the porpoises would eat the fish behind the boat.  

.)$2million on a dozen rentals, 2 personal residence, a motorcycle, and a boat, runs about $1400/year.

He has around 600k and is in the same boat.

@Dave Poeppelmeier - glad to know I'm not in the boat alone! 

The play now is to adjust strategy, not force the math.How to make a VA house hack work today:Target small multis with add-on income (garage rentals, storage, coin-op laundry, RV/boat parking, utility bill-backs).

Just like MLM  real estate has been attacked by the dream merchants  IE real estate guru's its a great gig for them  they make boat load of money.I like the line from the Traffic song   Low Spark of the high heeled boys.it goes like this" the man bought a new suit on your dreams "  and that was written I suspect in the late 60s to 70s.. :)

Does anyone have a background or contact for owning and living on a boat at a San Diego Harbor slip? 

Whether this is a true recovery or just a dead cat bounce remains to be seen 08 09 I was buying foreclosures there .. brand new homes that were selling for 250k I was buying fr 30 to 70k.. that market can and does have wild swings.. took decade or more to recover and I think those that have bought at the peak if its not a prime location are in the same boat.. they are stuck and will need to ride it out.   

I’m in a similar boat and also working on building a portfolio that generates steady cash flow and long-term flexibility.

I'd once traded a boat for property.
