As investment properties, houseboats have more to offer than you think

Since houseboats are a cheaper alternative to cruise liner condos, these floating investment properties can be a reality for you. Additionally, since houseboats tend to be on a lake or other smaller water property, you can count on greater interest in renting your property—that means a quicker return on your investment. And if you live in a warmer climate, or at least keep your investment property in one, you’ll be able to rent your investment properties for a longer period each year.
Remember, your houseboat may not go to the Amazon, but the cost differential may make it the perfect way to start out.
