My house is $750/mo. 3bd/2.5bath 2200sq ft 1991, nice two story place on a 1/8th acre plot in Dallas with two small ponds at the bottom of my yard and golf course just past that.
The slip I am looking into with an upgraded boat is $325/mo ($3900/yr) for 30x13 (lowest price they have to hold a 28-32' boat), or $420/mo ($5040/yr) for 40x14 (to add deck and still fit boat) with 1 year up front payment plus power. What am I missing... ? Hard to imagine paying half the payment of my house towards a floating place to tie my boat up to, which will probably only be $100/mo more than the slip cost too!
Sure it's not cheap to build a floating dock on the water and add a metal cover to it. Probably takes some basic annual or bi-annual maintenance to keep it up. But the pier has to pay for itself over and over with rent income. Do marinas just make THAT much $? 950 slips of say and average $375/mo... $356k a month is pretty nice income on top of what your restaurant and gas dock make too, ha! Time to go back to SimCity and add a crap load of marinas for income
