Houseboat / Floating Cabin Cottage

[MOOOOONEY]

I’m thinking of investing in a summer home.

Anyone own or have experienced living on a houseboat or floating house?

If so what are some of the pros and cons?

TIA

I dont think I'd use the word investing here since they go down in value....

If you like that lifestyle, then, sure its your money. But I wouldnt think of it as an investment compared to a lake house, etc..

Mojo why did you have to go pizz in my Cheerios?

I’m investing in myself.

I’m buying used.

I’m thinking more of a floating house because I have already invested in a pontoon boat several years ago.

I would prefer something in Andersonville.

Do you have any pros and cons?

Could I claim home office if I did some work from boat?

We've rented both. Floating house on Lake Norris and houseboats on Norris and Dale Hollow. I couldn't see living full time in a floating house because the only access is by boat. I could see living in a houseboat with a slip at a marina. Even part time living I think a houseboat would be a better option since you can move those around.
