You've got a $750k budget for a boat and investment property on the southeast coast from New Bern to Savannah.
Pick your favorites or add your own:
1) On the water w/ Canal | ICW | Near River Outlet or near the water Row House & 5 minutes to the marina/launch
2) Pure business, pure pleasure, or break even - lease the peak season.
3) 30 minutes from everything or 30 minutes to WTF am I or both?!
4) Island hopping, near shore fishing, or wicked tuna?
5) 242 Limited, AR210/220/230/240 or the big daddy 250? (bonus: Carolina Skiff!)
6) Best state and why? SC - loved it. Grew up there before falling in w/ the NC crowd. Even after 25 years in NC...still miss SC. Cheap taxes (outside Charleston at least) and best gas prices around.
7) Best city and why? Tough choice - Love the colonial & low country charm of Wilmington, Charleston, & Savannah, but hate the prices. New Bern's river area is beautiful - though you'd get the double whammy from inland hurricanes flooding the river and coastal hurricanes...so maybe not the safest bet without some serious stilts.
8) Most reasonable real estate prices: Reasonable? They still use that & real estate in the same sentence?

As for me, I got bit by the coastal bug when I was a kid and my grandfather had a beautiful house on a canal near Pine Island, FL (which took the full force of Hurricane Ian last fall
). We just started looking and are planning on visiting New Bern and a few other NC coastal towns over Memorial Day Weekend to start narrowing down towns/areas to find an ideal situation (hopefully) in late '23-'24. Any advice, horror stories, deals of the century, or other suggestions...fill me in! ![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
