How to buy a floating home

There is not a lot of storage on a floating home, and the lifestyle in floating homes is informal…..so you don’t need a huge house! Find one that you love, then make an offer to the owner. Once accepted, find out about the neighborhood….they are all different. Do they accept pets? Is there parking for guests? Is there a policy regarding parties and noise? Where can you park your boats? (people in floating homes usually have more than one boat so when one of them is not working, they can use the other one!) Have an interior home inspection and a marine float inspection (approximately $300 each), negotiate repairs that are required…..and voila! Get ready for your best summer ever! Cover image courtesy of HomeDSGN.com
