Recreational island investing … often it is better to poke yourself with a sharp stick in the behind.

Things to do – why you should be doubly careful when investing In Your Island in the Sun

  • We forget that islands take ferries (some take 3 ferries)
  • Building at waterfront could be impossible (can no longer go to the water – 100 ft. away)?
  • Buying on a “No ferry islands” – boat access only – hardly any use?
  • Location – west view is best – look where your island property gets the sun? Morning or afternoon sun?
  • Mortgaging difficult – if owner carries – get 10 years length
  • WATER: water well … just enough to brush your teeth. How many gallons per hour?
  • SEWAGE: septic fields could ruin your investment. Tanks: Above or below? How close to neighbour?
  • BEACH: in Canada, you do not own the beach. Rather, the property ends at the high water mark.
