Buying a houseboat instead of renting.

Autism Awareness Month is every month on /biz/ I see.

Show me a $5K houseboat that only needs $3K in repairs.

>implying

also, you're forgetting harbor fees

>>988028
Pounds not dollars.

They hold their value pretty well like all utillitarian objects. Mooring fees dont apply to cruising licenses. It just means you move at least 1.5 k every 14 days

Boats depreciate like shit. I've owned 3 in my life time.

Living in a trailer seems pretty sweet. The way thing are going the stigma may well slowly erode in the coming years. What more do you need desu?
Boat seems like a lot of hassle with many potential pitfalls.

>>988086
Depreciate by how much? What kind of boat etc. I was asking you for an explanation

>>988088
Nowhere to put a trailer in the city center.

Boats you can

>>988092
>boat in city center
What city?
Aren't the good spots generally ridiculously expensive in large cities?

lmao @ ur life OP, if you wanted to do something like this just live IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER, gonna be way cheaper after taking into account berthing fees

>>988103
>What city?
Venice

boats are really, really expensive. Look into the hidden costs of ownership.

I'm all about your plan, just know that there are SO MANY things that you're probably not thinking about.

na man is ez, just like mortgage renting a house, just like loan investing man, i dont know why more people don't do it!

>>988026
Maintenance dumbass. If youre house sinks youre fucked.

Docking fees add up too so have fun in the middle of nowhere on a dingy alone with your thoughts

>>988026
I did this for a while OP. Got a boat for about 7 grand. Lived on that for a year. Depending on rent in the area you'll save a ton of cash. People in this board are really stupid when it comes to this shit.

moorage in London runs around £8000 to £10000 per year.

All these haters, I was listening to someone on the ham radio who lived in a boat in boston. She worked for the coast guard, so obviously knew what the fuck she was doing around boats. I forget the specifics but it was pretty cheap, especially considering that people will spend $500 - $1000+ on rent and live in a smaller space and with room mates.

People do this year round in the winter you get a heater of some sort and seal everything off. Sounds comfy as fuck, if I worked close to the harbor I would definitely weigh the option. Upkeep would be the only thing to be concerned about.
