I enjoy the highly reasonable assumption that is borne out by decades of data that a) there will not be any maintenance costs and b) in the extremely unlikely event that maintenance needs exist, the costs will be directly recoverable during a future sale of a now 40 year old house boat.

Thanks. People said I was stupid and dumb and crazy when I moved to an off grid cabin in Alaska too. But it was some of the most fun I had in my life and a great experience. I think people greatly overestimate the risk of something like this and place to great an importance on their own comfort. It'll probably be cold as poo poo at times but I bet I still have fun and learn a lot.

my man if you want to live on a houseboat because it will be a great experience that is totally fine and cool and good and you should do it

just don't try to rationalize it as a fiscal decision because i can absofuckinglutely guarantee you that the black swan ultimate upside is break-even

By this Sunday I will try and post a side by side breakdown of monthly expenses and projected boat expenses to try and get a better idea of the numbers. So far the boat costs keep going down so I think it'll look a lot better than people seem to think.

super stoked to not see a m&r line in the boat side expenses

Hmm, last I checked prosper was the princely sum of 5%? That is lower then any boat loan. They charge you extra for the loan to be secured by a boat because of the disposal costs.

a houseboat has negative value as collateral for a loan

splendid
