This place is about a 1/4-mile from me: Big 4/2/2 on the water:

Re: this looks like a hell of a deal
Wow, that does look like a heck of a deal. Up here in Traverse City, a place like that on the water would go in the millions pretty easy, and then it would be a steal. I imagine that if its what it looks to be in the pictures the return would pay for itself within a year or two. It also says house included, which could possibly be made to a rental also.

Nick, We just got a re-assessment on our 2br/2b 1st floor condo in St Petes. It is on a deep water canal about 2/10 of a mile from the intercoastal and 2 miles from the inlet to open water(no, no wake zones yet). It has tripled in the 3 years we have owned it. It came in at just under $400k !! Im glad I bought when We did.

Re: this looks like a hell of a deal
It's got to be possible to make money on that, as CigDaze said. On Long Beach Island here in NJ, most of the businesses have that same short season (Memorial Day - Labor Day) to make their money for the year in....and the property they sit on costs them WAYYYY more than that.

The tiki bar here in solomons island maryland covers the entire years expenses including salaries/supplies/equipment, everything in opening night alone. Everything after tiki bar opening is pure profit.
