As I've always said as a 13 year veteran of living on a floating home and growing up on lakefront property: a floating home is the least expensive waterfront property you can buy! Yes it comes with some caveats like a 20% min. down payment from limited lenders and even more limited expensive insurance options. The lifestyle however is worth every penny.
One pays slip rent OR HOA fees, never both. I don't think you meant to imply that but at 3:40+ it sounded like you were talking about slip rent and an HOA as an additional fee. One either rents their slip (slip rent), or owns it (HOA). I live on a floating home and so do my parents. I can attest to it being a fabulous way to live! Nice video.

I'm curious about things like battling mold or what other things are different lifestyle wise if you live on a floating platform house like this

Thanks Stan, I appreciate you sharing your insights. Do you have a preferred marina in the area?

Thanks for the sub! Welcome to the channel!
Willamette much prettier than the Columbia not to mention being in the pdx flight path. Yes sellwood has the nicest everything
EVERYTHING has a tradeoff. Not nearly as many newer, high quality, larger homes on the Willamette. A LOT more expensive being so close to downtown.
your video is amazing
LOL! How much did the city have to pay for this?
Ummm. Boats are money pits so I guess this might be too. Still interesting.
Only 5 million
Hi Jason. You're right that the list price starts with a "5" but it's considerably less than $5m! 🙃
A very marked British accent.
I have been living in the US for 18 years, but still have the British accent!
